But "Charlie" definitely will not....

I can't believe they actually killed of Charlie. But I guess actors get tired of a show like Lost. He was a good character, but they gave a good death. But he appears to actually be dead for real. It was a great finale...

Short recap of finale confirming death in TV Guide

TV Guide interview with "Charlie"

TVGuide.com: First things first: Charlie's really dead?
Dominic Monaghan: Oh, yeah.

TVGuide.com: Why would you want to leave a hit series?
Monaghan: Obviously, there are huge positives to being involved in a show like Lost. We film in Hawaii, and the lifestyle there is a really fantastic thing. But, to be honest, as an actor I've been kind of frustrated for a while. I've wanted to do a little bit more. The difference between how much the audience got to see Charlie in Season 1 as opposed to how much they got to see Charlie in Seasons 2 and 3 was significant. It's been kind of frustrating for me for a while. So I think it's time for me to move on, you know.

I can't believe that Lost won't air until February 2008! And its only gonna be 16 episodes! For the next 3 years! What's deal with the new scheduling of TV shows? First Entourage, now this. However, I like how the producers show that there will be an end to the series. Not just a never-ending line of plot twists and bad stories. It makes it seem like one giant story that was just wrapped up at the end because people felt that they didn't want to do it anymore.
