The 'Lost' Female Characters
The season premiere of our old favorite 'Lost' is this Wednesday, and here at the Cooler, it's what we're thinking about when we're not talking about 'Project Runway.' Today though, while predicting plotlines, we started thinking about potential romances. And you know what finally occurred to us?

THERE CAN'T BE MUCH ROMANCE WITHOUT FEMALE CHARACTERS. (Barring, of course, the unlikely event of an affair between Hurley and Charlie.) So we'd like to add some questions to float around with the rest of 'Lost's' copious mysteries:
1. Why do all the women die?
Aren't men just as easily murdered?
2. Why do so many female plotlines revolve around pregnancy?
If you count Rousseau as a major character, the proportion of female characters with kids rises to 75%!
3. Are we supposed to think of Kate as a male character?
Because statistically, if you haven't died in a tragic death or conceived an inconvenient baby on the island, you're categorically a man.
4. We know some new female characters are joining the show...How many will survive the season?
Our guess is negative one. The show's history (Libby? Ana-Lucia?) foretells that the new characters will die sudden, gory deaths. Furthermore, we predict that given the odds of female characters dying, and the trend of maternal characters being kidnapped by Otherian baby snatchers, that either Claire or Sun will perish by the end of the season finale.
What's the deal with women on 'Lost?' And while we're on the topic, what would the best 'Lost' hookups be?

The flashbacks make the show! What else would they do to fill up an hour? I think it's interesting to see all of their stories.

the best couple is definitely KATE AND SAWYER! but i hope they don't have sex...'LOST' has a way of killing a female character right after she's just has sex (ex: shannon and ana lucia)

tho i hate how tv makes it so convenient that female characters stranded on the island for 3 months conveniently still have effective birth control in their back pockets. the only one that got pregnant was Sun, and she's married, and her husband was diagnosed impotent, so they wouldn't be using contraception anyway.
how convenient.
and kate needs to be a little more hardcore and a little less 'i made the drapes in my apartment, hee-hee.' she's a tough girl, a criminal even. the island softened her. her character is turning into a silly useless whore.
