Create a New Page?
Just wondering if anyone else thinks it would be an idea to create a new page entitled "Murder" to examine specifically the vast amount of characters that have committed murder, or who have attempted to do so. There would be no need to delete or alter this page; the new page would exist seperately in order to demonstrate how commonplace murder is in Lost.
Main Characters who have murdered:
- Sayid (Twice)
- Ana-Lucia (4 times)
- Kate
- Sawyer
- Mr. Eko (at least 8 times)
- Nikki and Paolo
- Juliet
- Jack (euthanasia)
- Michael (Twice)
- Locke
- Sun
- Desmond
- Charlie
- Ben
- Juliet
Minor Characters who have murdered:
- Christian Shephard (via gross negligence)
- Sawyer's father
- Danielle Rousseau (at least three times)
- Ethan Rom
- Goodwin
- Mikhail Bakunin
- Anthony Cooper
- Richard Alpert
Characters who have attempted murder:
- Sawyer
- Kate
- Juliet
- Ben
- Shannon
- Jack
- Pickett
- An unidentified Other, who shot at Sawyer twice while he was on the raft
- Anthony Cooper
- Ethan Rom
- Locke
Also, it can be said that even more of the main characters have accidently caused the death of another:
- Hurley's grandfather dies apparently due to the "curse" of the numbers after Hurley wins the lottery.
- When Sayid betrays Essam, Essam commits suicide.
- Tom Brennan is shot in the car Kate uses as a getaway vehicle.
- Boone causes his nanny's death by continuously summoning her up and down the stairs, which causes her to fall and break her neck
- Adam Rutherford dies when Jack chooses to help save Sarah instead
- Yemi is murdered by the military when Eko tries to smuggle the drugs out of Nigeria. This also results in the deaths of Goldie and Olu
- After Sun has an affair with him and Jin tells him to leave the country rather than kill him as Mr. Paik orders because of the affair, Jae Lee commits suicide.
- Edmund is hit by a bus and killed after Juliet cites half-jokingly that the only way he would permit her to leave to work for Mittelos Bioscience would be if he was hit by a bus.
- Claire drove the car that led to the brain-death of her mother.
- When Gary Troup hurries past the the engine, he stops in his tracks when Locke calls him, and is sucked into it.
- Due to Jack ignoring Ethan’s threat that he would kill a survivor each day he refused to hand Claire back to the Others, Scott Jackson was killed, presumeably by Ethan.
- Barbara Joanna Miller drowns when Jack chooses to save Boone over her.
- Boone dies when Locke tells him to climb into the drug smuggler’s plane when he becomes incapacitated.
- Ana Lucia incarcerated Nathan believing him to be an Other; this led Goodwin to kill him.
Nonsense page?
I can see why this page was nominated for cleanup, as it's in horrendous shape, but honestly I think it would be better as a candidate for deletion, since it doesn't seem to be about anything. It's just an arbitrary, meaningless list that's already better-covered on other pages for the most part. What, exactly, does the "life" section mean, for example? If it's any time someone saved another person's life, why aren't there hundreds more examples from throughout the show? Why on earth does it claim that Locke killed Naomi off the island? Why does it claim that Michael killing Libby and Ana-Lucia killing Shannon were "intentional"? -Silence 06:25, 17 July 2007 (PDT)
Is This A Joke?!?
I just don't understand! Why does it say Christian Shephard is not dead, when it is obvious that he is! Just because Jack thinks he is alive means nothing. And the same goes for Naomi! People say she is alive, but she is dead! But wait, there's more! People say Charlie is dead, when he is alive! I'm tired of people saying "he's dead because the producers say so" or stuff similar along that line. I remember the producers said that they would never kill him off. Unfortunatly, I do not have a source that proves that, but it is true! Very confused! -- #1LostFan talk contribs Lost Wiki 19:05, 17 December 2007 (PST)
- Actually Christian and Naomi are both listed as dead on this page, so I don't see what you're talking about. As for Charlie, I fairly sure he's dead, but that doesn't mean we've seen the last of him. As for the producers saying they would never kill him off, well, people in those positions wouldn't use the word never. What happens if an actor decides he needs to leave for personal reasons? Would the producers force him to stay so they can honor their promise? Dom has been working on other projects, I think it's safe to say he's not a main cast member anymore. But I guess only time will tell. --Gluphokquen Gunih ▲ 19:16, 17 December 2007 (PST)
Ben???????
Why isn't Ben on here? He's killed more people than anyone (although it is possible that Eko killed more). Ben very directy killed is father and may have personally killed at least 40 other people. I'd say that it is undebatable though that he has at least killed his father directly, so he should at least have one murder, even though I think it should be far more.
- Indirect kills don't count for the purposes of the article. Ben did not personally kill those 40 people but he did kill Roger Linus. Dharmatel4 17:59, 29 January 2008 (PST)
Season 2 finale Others
Didn't Kate or Sawyer kill an other in the second season finale?
Table?
I think that the main deaths section could benefit from a clean up, perhaps being put into a table and in chronological timeline order? Maybe with images for each death? Also, I personally think that the Life section is pretty pointless, I mean you could lump everyone in there: "Everyone is alive after surviving the crash." Anyway, I think it would be better if there's a clear list of deaths and the kill count table. I'll mock something up, unless there are any objections? Gran2 03:00, 15 February 2008 (PST)
Mikhail
His grenade stunt has one foot on each side of the line that determines whether a kill is direct or indirect. Vote? I think it's direct (he did do it with the intent to kill)--Ainulindale 14:09, 14 March 2008 (PDT)
- Why do we need a vote? Where is there a dispute about the article, as to whether it was direct or not? Gran2 14:32, 14 March 2008 (PDT)
Recurring characters
I'm considering expanding the "Main cast kill count" section to include characters who have been credited as a guest star in at least five episodes as well. This would allow the inclusion of characters such as Keamy, Mikhail and (hell why not) Smokey, who have appeared multiple times, and killed more people than a lot of the main cast have. Thoughts?

Hurley's "kill count"
Was Hurley really responsible for the deaths of Paulo and Nikki? The summary of the article says that a group (Sawyer and Hurley I think particularly) buried them which is my recollection of the episode. Also, he delivered a heart feat eulogy for them citing other reasons for their death and he made a big effort to figure out who killed them the whole episode. Mister vijay 21:53, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
- Yes. The section specifically calls to only list "direct" kills... As for as I'm concerned, Nikki and Paulo were not "directly" killed by anyone. Technically they were buried alive by Hurley and Sawyer amongst others, but they only buried them because they thought they were already dead, and that only happened because of Nikki and Paulo's own actions. I'm going to revert for now, and direct users here to discuss this. Gran2 14:29, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
Bernard
Why is Bernard included in the main cast kill count, as he isn't part of the main cast? -- Orhan94 Talk Contribs 09:14, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
- Have removed. It has been concluded thousands of times he's not a main character. --Blueeagleislander 09:30, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
Fix wikipedia!
If you click on the episode like 3x22, you come on wikipedia. Could somebody do something to that, please!--Station7 21:00, October 28, 2009 (UTC)
