And, as "Alias" fans know, Abrams isn't above an occasional shocker of an episode in which the perceived reality undergoes a shattering shake-up. That extends to the whole notion of which players in this huge cast are permanent regulars and which are faceless extras, Lindelof says.

"There are 48 survivors, and the non-regulars are definitely not there just to be eaten," he says firmly. "J.J. and I have already talked about this idea we really love where you get 10 or 11 episodes into the show and one of our regulars goes off into the jungle with one of the more anonymous castaways none of us has really seen before, but against your expectations, the series regular gets killed and the other castaway becomes sort of the new series regular.

"You don't just do that arbitrarily, but you do it to remind the audience that anyone could go at any time."

I'm getting this feeling....

It's not a good feeling. It's called terror.

Cool. It's like the anti-Star Trek. If they can kill off a main without sending up any red flags at all, I'll be impressed. As long, of course, as it is not Sayid.

Of course.

Or Jack.

I'm starting to think it's Sayid.
