Sawyer isn't going to die, at least not in this episode. It would be foolish to not have such a watchable and prominent character in the final season.

Claire and Aaron are already separated, so nothing more needs to be done about that. I just think the writers have a hard time writing for Claire and so she doesn't get much air time. She still has a role to play. Maybe that roll will come out in the finale and she will be killed, I don't really know.

I don't buy Jin dying. It's too sad. I do think the freighter will explode and those three guys will be presumed dead but they will survive somehow, or Michael will sacrifice himself for the other two. Desmond most certainly will survive, his story is far from over. Fool went back in time, man, they got to explain that!

As long as the finale has plenty of Benjamin Linus I will be happy.
