Naomi is DEAD, people.
I may have to eat my words, but I just have to say that NAOMI IS DEAD.
A small contingent on the fan forums seems to believe that Naomi is still alive because we saw her flashback, and the producers had stated in an interview that they would not give flashbacks to dead people. We all know that they have twisted their words before. The truth they speak may not be what you think you hear.
Even with this argument, I contend that they could get around their rule by claiming that the flashback actually belonged to Abaddon, who we know is still alive because he visits Hurley in the nuthouse at some point in the future. Just because the other four flashbacks were of people currently on the island doesn’t mean that the fifth one was.
