Are the Writers of Lost Big Final Destination Fans?

With all the mysterious paths to choose the writers of "Lost" are bringing a familiar story line into play. Its packaged differently and piques ones interest while at the same time causing the mind to stray back to the movie scenario of Final Destination.

Final Destination's premise focused on you can't cheat death. If you manage to undo a series of circumstances in avoidance of death, eventually the universe will reset itself and death will swing back around to claim the lives it missed. Several students and a teacher delayed their fate by not being on a plane destined to crash and kill everyone aboard in Final Destination. In the movie, those who escaped their time to die had to keep running from death. Death kept setting up unsafe predicaments meant to kill the survivors in the order they would have died on the plane. The seating order of the survivors had a lot to do with the timing of their death. If a survivor survived the second attempt, death would move on to the next person in the order they were scheduled to die on the plane and so forth always returning for the person it skipped over and over until it got them. The similarities between Lost and Final Destination are uncannily linked. See if you can spot the connection.

Lost fans know that when Mr. Echo died he whispered in Locke's ear that "Everyone is going to die. You can't escape it." And now...Charlie has found out that death came for him twice from psychic Desmond. According to him, lightening was going to strike Claire's tent while he was in it and kill him. As a diversion to the strike Desmond set up a lightening rod outside the tent. Lightening hit it. The second attempt came when Claire was drowning. Desmond jumped in the water and saved her. If he hadn't Charlie would have done so and drowned.
