I think you should other wise you show how much unlike me we are if the rest of the writers don't even know whats going on. Come on and well make it Kennedy, or Andrew, or Kennedy. I really don't like that character

You don't have the "right" to know anything about future events. This is simply a plot details like any other, and if the author wants to keep it as a surprise, it's entirely their choice.

But why do people keep these things to themselves at all? I know we're not them, but the way ME work is all the writers come together to plan every ep so everyone knows what's going on, seems they'd have developed the best system for writing, and something as importants as a death should be decided with the entire group, not on an individual basis.

The only thing we decided on as a group was the main arc of the season, because that dicatates what we all head towards.

Other plot elements have pretty much been kept secret by the writers, and I feel it's unfair to heap pressure on someone to reveal something they don't want to simply out of curiousity.

I could understand if the people asking are writing upcoming episodes, but they're not, and the finale is still undecided.

No cause even joss kept some thing underwraps, other then the people doing the thing. I was just wondering. I'll wait and see, are we going to start the poll after his episode seeing as the other writers have already written 2 episodes this way we have two weeks, to get the polls and the results?

Yes, there'll be a slight gap between 21 and 22, but it's the fairest way to do it.
