Predictions for the 2nd half of Season 4

Here's a radical list, in no real order, of my predictions for episode 9 onwards. As always, I'm using no spoiler information, just inuition and guesswork.

• The island will be split by a war between freighteries and pretty much everyone else.
  
  
  
  
• We will see Walt again on the island.
  
  
• Sayid, Desmond and Michael will take over the freighter. Michael will die in the process.



• Penelope Widmore will arrive on the island to rescue Desmond.





• Similarly to shutting down the Tempest, the freighteries will attempt to "shut down" the monster.



• This attempt will be stopped by Locke, Ben and Jacob.



• The freighteries will start a hunt for Ben Linus, killing Claire in the process.



• The monster will kill all the freighteries.
  
  
• Penny and her team will save Des and the Oceanic 6, but Kate will have to choose who out of Jack and Sawyer to take with her.
  
  

Obviously, most, if not all, of these will turn out to be false. I'll add a couple of vague ones just to make sure I get a couple right:

• There will be some mysterious events happening.



• Demond will make an appearance.



• Jack will be seen wearing a shirt.





• Sayid will fix some shit.
  
  
  
  

And I'll throw this prediction out there, just in case.

• Paolo Maldini will have a fight against the monster and win.
