The Lost Curse Continues...

According to People magazine, yet another Lost cast member has been themselves arrested on suspicion of DUI. Daniel Dae Kim, who plays Jin-Soo Kwon is the latest Lostie to be found weaving drunkenly down a Hawaiian highway. Prior to Kim's arrest, Michelle Rodriguez and Cynthia Watros were both picked up separately but on the same day for DUI. Coincidentally (or maybe not?), both actresses were killed off subsequently during a sweeps-induced massacre plotline. Some have speculated that the writers were punishing the bad behavior--that there's a casting cause and effect going on here. I think it's the other way around--that perhaps Cynthia and Michelle were out drowning their sorrows after their characters were blown away by the duplicitous Michael in a desperate act to save his son, Walt.

In addition to Watros and Rodriguez, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje who played Eko got slammed by the smoke monster immediately following an arrest for driving without a license. Weird, huh? Although in this case, he asked the producers to write him out so he could go back to London. So does this mean Daniel's character was offed by one of the others or eaten by the polar bear or subsumed by the smoke monster? I hope not. But I guess we'll have to wait until February (or even later if there's a writers strike!) to find out...
