Charlie is WAY too obvious to be offed. There's no way it'll be him, but that does leave it very unclear who it is going to be. Hurley might be a potential candidate, if only because-while something of a fan favorite-he has little UMPH to add to the main storyline. I'd say Rodrigo Santoro or the newly introduced chick would be likely targets, but they haven't been on the show much for anyone to really care. Alternately, that might be a sufficient amount. If the grave weren't at the Losties' camp, I think I would be putting my money on Juliet, since she seems like she could be ripe to go with no more means of escape from the island.
Overall, a VERY interesting episode this week. Ben continues to be one of the best written and acted TV characters that I have ever seen. Michael Emerson's face and voice are so perfect and expressive. I love watching him work everyone just as he sees fit, and constantly marvel at how much he says with a single look. Note, also, that now Ben does not have to give up Kate, Sayid and Locke because Jack never left the island. Flawless, perfect.
Locke has gone from one of my most to one of my least favorite characters. The rugged, quiet idealist of season 1 has given way to someone very dark and selfish and horrible. As we learn more about him, I can't blame him for being that way, but it's not been a pleasant or particularly entertaining transformation to watch.
