Ever since I went cold-turkey and quit reading spoilers prior to the Season 5 Finale of BtVS, I decided NOT to take a peek at episode spoilers or visit forums before actually watching. (And if you know what BtVS episode I’m talking about, then you know how surprising the last 5 minutes were!)

But, with season finales just days away, I have ventured a look-see at the pre-show buzz for ABC’s LOST and NBC’s Heroes. I’ve managed to find a couple interesting (LOST) articles/posts that don’t ‘tell all’, but I’ve decided to be completely spoiler-free for Monday’s Heroes.

The first from BuddyTV speculates that the 5 impending deaths from the finale might actually be the death toll for the month of May.

“On a more upbeat side, my own contacts are telling me that five deaths is not the total for the finale, but the total for the month of May, and that only one of the DarkUFO deaths can actually be confirmed. ” – from LOST Death Pool Overflowing!

I’ll be relieved if this is the case and that we won’t be loosing more main characters! BuddyTV article LOST Finale Spoilers revealed – But Are They Real? also includes more unconfirmed finale-flavored rumors.

The Tailsection also posted a proposed storyline for the finale at “Spoilers Ate My Brain” based on the previews and “insider-info”. It takes a closer look (read: frame-by-frame) at the trailer for the finale. It is a little more revealing, but doesn’t answer any mysteries for us. (Plus, I don’t trust the editors to completely cap the episode in a trailer )

I’m sure you’ve already checked out the easter eggs and reviews/recaps from “Greatest Hits”. But, have you seen these?

• Paul Levinson’s “Lost: Charlie, Underwater Babes, and Predictions for Next Week“
• Lindsey’s “I’m addicted to Lost“
• Oh Amanda’s “Charlie Through the Looking Glass“
• (There are so many more, but those are the ones I can think of at the moment! A good starting point!)
