With the spoiler-moratorium expired, it's finally safe to talk about this.

The first major character on Lost has met his maker.

I can't say I'm shocked or disappointed. He was arguably the weakest member of the cast. Besides, with Boone gone, it leaves Locke as the only survivor with knowledge of The Hatch, the small plane, and a ten year supply of Heroin that would put Charlie into a drug-induced coma. His death has also directly affected Shannon and Sayid's blossoming relationship, Jack's control issues, Sun's position within the group, and most importantly Locke's emotional stability. And the writers now have many new angles to explore.

Given that model/actor Ian Somerhalder has reportedly signed a new one year deal with ABC, this could indicate that Boone will continue to haunt the remaining survivors in Season Two. After all, nobody really stays dead on this island anyway. Speaking of which, has anyone seen Jack's dad lately?
