Post any information you have regarding conventions they're attending, talk show's they're guesting on (including repeats), and magazine covers and articles they may be on.

I realize not everyone checks out the individual cast/character threads, so this collects all their upcoming appearances. Also, it cuts down on those little threads. We're saving space! :)

ABC is doing a thing about their shows this year (I believe they're going "behind the scenes" in Lost). They showed it last night, but I completely forgot about it and missed it. Luckily, they're showing it again tonight (5:30pm Mountain Time) and again on New Year's Day.
Thanks for the heads-up!

(Thu Jan 6 23:02:28 2005) [Context]

Hey kiddies -- doing a flyby myself. Everyone is stoked about last night's numbers... and LOST leading into ALIAS was sort of a fanboy dream for me to be a part of.

Love you all for watching -- and PLEASE go to pcavote.com and vote MANY TIMES for us for People's Choice. Apparently, we're in THIRD PLACE. "Desperate Housewives" may deserve to beat us... but "CSI:New York?"

Bye!

did anyone tape Ian on last call??

I set my VCR to tape it, but it didn't :(

dw-- is upset about it.

[moonshadow707]

Jorge Garcia (Hurley!) is scheduled to be on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Monday night, Jan. 17.

[Master Xander]

Harold Perrineau will be on The View on January 18, and will be doing morning interviews on ABC radio affiliates on January 19...

[GotLost88]

I just heard Jay Leno announce that Monday night (1-17-05) on the Tonight Show, Evangeline Lily will be a guest....

[cccourt]

This is PAST news: I did watch Ian on Daly...he was good.
Also...I just heard the TV Guide guy Brett (?) Fretts predict LOST would win the Golden Globe for best TV drama.

[Lollie59]

Heard a promo this morning announcing this, sorry for the short notice! It's on at noon in my area. If she says anything newsworthy (i.e., gives us any plot info!) I'll post it.

Edit: It was a fun interview but she disclosed no show info at all. Talked about the Golden Globes and what a terrible driver she is, for the most part! Most fun bit was at the end when Ellen gave her a "driving test" onstage in a little battery-powered car. EL had said before the commercial break that she had only gotten her license because the examiner thought she was cute...but she flunked this test and Ellen told her she was revoking her license. ;) Ellen said, "Yeah, I know you're cute, but ya don't pass." :rollin

[MayorOfBearVillage]

Did anyone hear Maggie Grace and Ian Summerha... Somer... Er, Boone on Loveline Tuesday night? I tried to get on here and let you all know but the show was mostly over by the time my EZBoard registration went through.

No one called in about Lost, which was really lame, and even though Boone and Shannon have a very Loveline relationship, they never discussed it. Adam claimed to be a big fan of the show but obviously had not seen their episode (and fans of Loveline know that all he does is complain about how unrealistic the plane crash scene was and he refused to watch the show because of it).

ANYWAY, I don't get great reception here, but the question of "is it all planned out or are they making it up as they go along" came up, and Maggie Grace asserted that before they started shooting the writers had come up with synopses for the first SIXTY episodes. Except she might have said 16. Or 6. But I think it was 60.

Also, Ian told us to watch it tomorrow to see Hurley's episode. That LIAR! He was off by like, two months.

He also said the season finale would be 2 hours long. Has that been reported before?

Anyway, some interesting bits of tid.

[onebigmoviefan]

Hi I'm onebigmoviefan. Just discoverd this board. I'm a Big Fan of LOST. I see there are many fanatics out there who love this show too. Hope to partipate in the conversations. Just Call me OBMF for short. :D

[TJolie]

There's going to be a repeat of Foxy's appearance on Kimmel on Jan 31 so, if you missed it the 1st like I did you can watch it

[Hodgepodge]

There's an article on Lost in the February issue of American Cinematographer on newsstands now.

[Clairvoyance]

I just checked the TV guide here and it said someone else was on Kimmel tonight. Are you sure about that?

[GotLost88]

Matthew Fox isn't on Kimmel tonight (1-31-05). I checked the ABC website, and its actually on tomorrow night, (2-1-05).

Couple of new articles I thought I'd share.

'Lost' is at top of water cooler talk

By Mark McGuire

Albany (N.Y.) Times Union

There are Deadheads (the Grateful Dead), Dittoheads (Rush Limbaugh) and Cheeseheads (Green Bay Packers). There are Trekkies ("Star Trek") and Claymates (Clay Aiken) and even Fanilows (Barry Manilow).

No, I didn't make the last two up.

Now there are Lostaways.

These are the fans of "Lost," the freshman ABC drama (Wednesday nights). One of two breakout hits for a resurgent ABC this season - the other is fellow rookie "Desperate Housewives" - the multifaceted drama about 48 plane crash survivors marooned on a mysterious island is arguably the biggest water cooler show of the season.

I mean, did you know that viewers rehashing the intricacies of the previous night's episodes at work are responsible for a collective 1.2 million hours of lost productivity every Thursday morning?

OK, I made that stat up. But you get the idea.

"Lost" is in reruns this week, re-airing the episode in which pregnant Claire (Emilie de Ravin, "The Handler") has nightmares about her unborn child. Claire is later kidnapped, and at the end of the Jan. 19 episode, she reappeared - possibly no longer pregnant (it was hard to tell), but without her baby.

"Lost" returns to original episodes starting next week with "Homecoming" (Feb. 9). Claire returns to the castaway camp with no recollection of what has happened since before the plane crash, while others plan to defend the survivors from her kidnapper, the mysterious Ethan.

Are you lost, too?

Don't worry: So are the people who watch every week. And that's half the fun.

Water-cooler shows, especially dramas, are never simple. Their complexity provides the fodder for discussion, for debate, for building the anticipation and buzz.

In short, "Lost" provides a lot to talk about. The elements that make it so discussion-worthy include:

Unique characters | Every July, the networks try to promote their new shows at the Television Critics Association Press Tour in California. Usually about half a dozen people from a given show, actors and producers, gather for a news conference. "Lost" had 16 people on stage.

A "slash" show | Some of the best TV shows are an amalgam of genres. "The Sopranos" can juggle deadly drama with light comedy. "Lost" is a thriller, a mystery and an adventure flick. There may even be a supernatural component - I'm just guessing here, which is what "Lost" fans often have to do - in addition to moments of light comedy.

Slow-developing back stories | In what has proved to be a masterstroke that will keep the drama's narrative moving, events on the island are interspersed with flashback scenes that flesh out individual characters.

Word of mouth | A water cooler show is a somewhat archaic appellation.

Although office conversation is still a part of the equation, today's water cooler is the Internet.

"Lost" is a top 10 show that is fighting its way into the top 5 in the ratings. But it's not enough that people watch a show for it to be cooler-worthy.

Fans have to talk about it, post message board queries and reviews about it, rewatch episodes and break down minutiae the way a football team dissects game film of an opponent.

They have to give themselves nicknames. Lostaways, for example.

'Lost' is still discovering itself

By Hal Boedeker | Sentinel Television Critic
Posted January 30, 2005

LOS ANGELES -- On a day that Desperate Housewives inspires a party and dominates Tinseltown chats, ABC's other big new hit still has people talking. Such is the power of Lost, the plane-crash drama about perplexed passengers on a remote island.

Does ABC know the central mystery of that island?

"We have a good sense of where it's going," says Steve McPherson, president of ABC's prime-time entertainment.

But McPherson later adds that executive producer J.J. Abrams hasn't shared the secret. The adventure airs at 8 p.m. Wednesdays.

"There isn't one answer to everything," Abrams says. "This island has an amazing history. Things will change as we go. You don't have the time or energy to figure out everything in the first season. We have a few really big ideas that we hope we're on long enough to get to tell. It's like you can't go from A to Z without going through the other letters."

But is there a payoff at Z?

"If we get to do the story we anticipate doing, there is a big payoff," Abrams says. "Whether we get to that at the very end or we get to it earlier, and it becomes part of the next chapter, is part of the evolution of telling the story."

The 'Lost' episodes
A show-by-show guide to 'Lost'
By DEREK TSE -- Toronto Sun

Forget about Desperate Housewives: In our opinion, Lost is the new show to watch.

For those of you who have been trapped on an island somewhere, Lost is about, well, people trapped on an island somewhere. It's a high-concept series that follows the adventures of a band of plane-crash survivors, with intricate flashbacks into their troubled pasts. And there's definitely something weird afoot on the island, where an unseen monster makes its presence felt from time to time.

The show manages to juggle its huge cast -- 14 or so regulars, with lots of guest stars -- while deepening the mystery with each episode. Theories abound: Where are they, really? How could they have survived the crash? Why are dead people and polar bears suddenly appearing on the island? And why isn't the fat guy losing any weight?

Now, with the show in repeats until Feb. 9, we figure it's the perfect time to play catchup. Consider this a sort of Coles Notes to Lost. We give a rundown of every episode and tell you which theory we're leaning toward in each.

THEORIES
1. They're all dead and in Purgatory
2. They're part of a scientific experiment
3. They're hallucinating everything it's a dream
4. They're on a Forbidden Planet-like island, where their thoughts are physically manifested
5. They're being pitted in the ultimate battle of Good vs. Evil

SHOW-BY-SHOW GUIDE
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp

1. PILOT (Part 1)
A plane flying from Australia crash lands, leaving 48 survivors trapped on a mysterious tropical island where bestial noises erupt from the jungle. Doctor Jack (Matthew Fox), Kate (Evangeline Lilly) and former rock star Charlie (Dominic Monaghan) find the plane's cockpit, where some unseen monster rips the pilot out and chews him up good.
FLASHBACK
The harrowing crash is recalled through Jack's eyes.
COMMENTS
When a man gets sucked into the plane's engine, causing it to explode, you know you're not watching the usual 8 p.m. network fare.
RATING: A
THEORY: 1

2. PILOT (Part 2)
When a small band of survivors go searching for the source of a signal picked up on their transceiver, they're attacked ... by a polar bear?! Also, our heroes find a gun, handcuffs and Vincent, the dog of young Walt (Malcolm David Kelley).
FLASHBACK
The crash through Charlie's eyes: He's revealed to be a drug addict, as he rushes into the plane's bathroom to get a fix.
COMMENTS
Former model Lilly shows off her lithe body with a gratuitous scene where she strips down to her bra and panties ... The creepy message on the transceiver -- in French, saying "They're all dead" -- has been repeating for 16 years ... Young Walt reads a comic book featuring a polar bear. Coincidence?
RATING: A
THEORY: 5

3. TABULA RASA
Jack and Hurley (Jorge Garcia), the tubby comic relief, discover that Kate is a Canadian criminal who was captured by a U.S. marshal (Fredric Lane) badly injured in the crash. In order to relieve his suffering -- a hunk of shrapnel lodged in your chest will do that to ya -- Jack shoots the marshal.
FLASHBACK
Kate's seedy past, where she's apparently in hiding in Australia and captured by the marshal.
COMMENTS
Kate as a canny international criminal? It's hard to suspend our disbelief -- Lilly's prettiness, and average acting ability, work against her on this one. Still, this is her first acting role, and she has shown lots of potential.
RATING: B-
THEORY: 1

4. WALKABOUT
The taciturn, mysterious Locke (Terry O'Quinn), Kate and single dad Michael (Harold Perrineau) go hunting for wild boar -- and instead run into the unseen monstrosity in the jungle. But Locke lives to tell about it and returns unscathed -- apparently deeply moved by the experience.
FLASHBACK
Locke's past as a shirt-and-tie-wearing drone at a box company. The episode's big twist reveals he's a paraplegic in a wheelchair, lending the climactic scenes of him rising to his feet a powerful emotional wallop.
COMMENTS
By far the series' best hour, featuring a superb performance by O'Quinn, who makes Locke more sympathetic than previous episodes let on ... His full name is John Locke, the same as the great 17th-century anti-authoritarian philosopher.
RATING: A+
THEORY: 4

5. WHITE RABBIT
Jack, suffering from insomnia, apparently sees his dead father walking around the island and goes in search of his coffin. He does find it -- but it's empty. He also discovers a valley that contains fresh water and more plane wreckage.
FLASHBACK
Jack again -- he travels to Australia to find his alcoholic dad, who has drunk himself to death. Mysterious Korean Jin (Daniel Dae Kim) appears briefly at the airport queue as Jack tries to get his father's coffin on board the plane.
COMMENTS
A big letdown from the previous episode, this one highlights Jack's blandness, a problem shared by the female lead, Kate ... The number of survivors is culled to 46 when a throwaway character drowns.
RATING: C-
THEORY: 4

6. HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN
Michael is badly beaten by Jin, who thinks he's stolen a watch that has sentimental value to him. Afterward, Jin's wife Sun (Yunjin Kim) reveals to Michael that she can actually speak English. The camp splits up, with some heading for Jack's valley -- where two 40-year-old corpses are found in a cave -- and others staying on the beach.
FLASHBACK
Sun's turbulent history with her husband, who goes under her father's shady employ in order to win her hand in marriage. Sun has a chance to leave the emotionally distant Jin at the airport in Australia, but stays because she still loves him.
COMMENTS
You have to wonder how Sun's ability to speak English will play out -- maybe she'll be used as a spy of some sort if the rumoured split of the camp comes to pass.
RATING: A
THEORY: 5

7. THE MOTH
Locke offers to help Charlie beat his drug addiction -- and when the cave collapses, trapping Jack, Charlie goes to the rescue. His new sense of self-worth allows him to finally kick the habit.
FLASHBACK
Charlie's raucous past as a member of the rock band Driveshaft, his poor relationship with his brother and their drug addiction are highlighted.
COMMENTS
Actually features the painfully un-ironic line, "You used to be about the music!" ... Locke's motives for helping Charlie are a mystery -- Locke once again straddles the line of creepy manipulator and hard-love spiritual guru ... Somebody knocks out Sayid (Naveen Andrews) when he tries to find the source of the French transmission.
RATING: C+
THEORY: 5

8. CONFIDENCE MAN
After bitchy babe Shannon (Maggie Grace) suffers an asthma attack, Jack and Sayid (Naveen Andrews) suspect Sawyer (Josh Holloway) might be hoarding her medication. Sayid tortures Sawyer to get him to talk. As it turns out, he doesn't have the meds, but Shannon is saved by Sun's homeopathic remedy.
FLASHBACK
Sawyer turns out to be a con artist trying to bilk a couple out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. He has a sudden change of heart when he sees their cute little son.
COMMENTS
And here we thought Sawyer was a one-note bad boy. The letter he's seen reading from time to time is revealed to be one he penned as a child to a con artist who destroyed his family ... How did the torture scene, involving splinters and fingernails, get past the censors? Not that we're complaining.
RATING: B+
THEORY: 5

9. SOLITARY
Feeling pangs of remorse for torturing Sawyer, Sayid exiles himself from the group and explores the island. He is captured by Danielle (Mira Furlan), the looney French woman who has been sending the signals. Sayid manages to escape, stealing maps and charts.
FLASHBACK
Sayid's history as an Iraqi Republican guard is explored, as he helps a female prisoner with whom he's fallen in love apparently escape execution.
COMMENTS
How much of what Danielle is saying is true and how much is just insane gibberish? She's been alone for years, her son Alex has disappeared and she says she murdered the other members of her team because they became "sick" ... Ethan (William Mapother, who is a cousin of Tom Cruise) makes his first appearance, hunting boar with Locke.
RATING: B
THEORY: 2

10. RAISED BY ANOTHER
Pregnant Claire (Emilie de Ravin) begins having nightmares of someone trying to kill her. When Hurley starts a census using the passenger manifest, the survivors realize Ethan, who claims he's from Ontario, couldn't have been on the plane. The very weird Ethan shows up at the end, menacing Claire and Charlie.
FLASHBACK
Claire's sorry past is revealed, where she's left by her deadbeat boyfriend and is told by a creepy psychic that it is imperative her unborn baby not fall into the wrong hands and that she raise the child.
COMMENTS
One of Claire's dreams features Locke with one white and one black eye -- harkening to his conversation with Walt in the Pilot about backgammon and how there are two sides, one good and one evil.
RATING: A-
THEORY: 5

11. ALL THE BEST COWBOYS HAVE DADDY ISSUES
The survivors mount a search for the missing Claire and Charlie. Jack and Kate manage to track down Ethan, who beats Jack to a bloody pulp. They find Charlie hanging from a tree, but while Jack is able to revive him, Claire remains missing. Meanwhile, Locke and Boone (Ian Somerhalder) discover a metallic hatch hidden deep in the jungle.
FLASHBACK
We see more of Jack's arrogant, alcoholic father -- and how the son tattles on Dad when he causes the death of a patient.
COMMENTS
By now, the show's "Did they actually do that?" spell is so potent you're convinced that Charlie has been killed off ... Jack's backstory this time around is a vast improvement over the White Rabbit episode.
RATING: B+
THEORY: 5

12. WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE
Kate and Sawyer fight over a locked metal briefcase that belongs to her. Jack and Kate dig up the marshal's rotted corpse to get the key -- and inside the case are money, guns and a small toy airplane. Meanwhile, Sayid enlists the French-speaking Shannon's help to decipher his stolen maps and charts.
FLASHBACK
More Kate backstory -- now she's involved in a bank heist, where she manipulates her accomplices into helping her steal that toy airplane from the bank's vaults.
COMMENTS
Lilly's babe factor works against her being the potentially cold-blooded femme fatale the show wants her to be. Still, this enriches her mystery, as she reveals the toy belonged to the man she loved -- and killed ... The serene, matronly Rose (L. Scott Caldwell) -- not seen since Walkabout -- makes a return, as she consoles Charlie over the loss of Claire.
RATING: B-
THEORY: 1

13. HEARTS AND MINDS
When Boone wants to confess to his stepsister Shannon that he and Locke have found the hatch, Locke ties him up and leaves him in in an effort to teach him to "let go." Boone only frees himself when he fears the unseen monster has attacked and killed Shannon -- but it turns out this was only a hallucination.
FLASHBACK
The sickest yet, as Boone is revealed to have had the hots for his screwed-up sis for years -- and when he tries to collect her in Australia, they succumb to their desire in a hotel room. Ewwwww!
COMMENTS
The source of Boone's hallucination is the salve Locke rubbed on his head wound ... Boone's flashback also features Sawyer getting arrested at a police station ... Sayid's compass goes wonky, showing that North isn't really North on the island.
RATING: A-
THEORY: 3

14. SPECIAL
Michael becomes even more resentful of the bond Locke forms with his young son Walt. But when Walt's life is threatened by another polar bear, he and Locke team up to save him. Later, as Locke and Boone return to the jungle, they encounter a shaken Claire, apparently escaped from her captor.
FLASHBACK
We learn Michael is a struggling artist/contractor, who's shut out of his son's life by the boy's manipulative lawyer mom.
COMMENTS
The comic book makes another appearance, with that same shot of the polar bear ... It's clear Walt has powers of some kind that he can use to make things he desires appear.
RATING: B
THEORY: 4

Lost's Band Plays On
by Nerina Rammairone

For a band that doesn't really exist, Drive Shaft sure is getting a lot of exposure.
The fictional rock group of Lost castaway Charlie (played by Dominic Monaghan) was featured in a flashback episode in the fall, and the band's single "You All Everybody" was recently heard blasting from Sydney's stereo on Alias, another ABC Wednesday-night show.

There's a music video at www.abc.com (http://www.abc.com), and even a faux fan website, www.driveshaftband.com (http://www.driveshaftband.com), complete with bios, photos, a discography and dedications to its missing bassist. "We've been talking about putting out an official album," says Lost executive producer Bryan Burk.

&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp
Groupies can catch the band again in Lost's Charlie-centric installment next Wednesday at 8 pm/ET. "As long as Lost is alive, so is Drive Shaft," Burk promises. Rock on.

Island of lost souls
By Penelope Cross
February 02, 2005

AFTER spending six years as the hypersensitive Charlie Salinger on Party Of Five, Matthew Fox can safely say he knows what women want.
But more importantly, he knows what he wants and the 38-year-old has finally found it in Lost, a series that sees him among 48 plane crash survivors stranded on a tropical island.

In the US, the show trails only Desperate Housewives as the highest-rating new show and has reeled viewers in by the truckload with melodramatic twists, intentional character misrepresentation and the way in which it provides an answer to one question only to pose seventeen others.

It's a far cry from Fox's days on Party Of Five, a series so filled with trauma, it had the potential to leave one feeling rather depressed.

But if you thought watching it was trying, spare a thought for the show's ex-star. It took Fox - who is actually rather shy - more than two years to get over playing Charlie.

"It was an intentional move to let people forget about me in that show," he says now.

"I wanted to come back doing something very different. I felt that (Party Of Five) was written by women for women - not that that's a bad thing - it's just that the male characters (featured qualities) women tell you they want in a man but not what they actually want.

"They say they want the really sensitive, available and open man and yet they also want that baser, darker and intense side that the male gender encompasses."
Advertisement:

The complicated character of Jack Sheppard, surgeon and reluctant hero, marks Fox's return to a big TV series.

"I always believed in the show - that it was really good - but I've been doing this (job) long enough to know that really good doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to communicate with audiences," he says.

"So the fact we have this huge following that seems to be growing exponentially is just fantastic."

For Fox's co-star Evangeline Lilly, the Lost ride has been even more amazing as the part of Kate Ryan is her first speaking role.

"The audience has gone nuts which is, I think, where the biggest shock came in," the 25-year-old laughs. "I thought that if the critics loved it, the audience would hate it."

It's something Lilly puts down to the genius of Lost's co-creator, J. J Abrams, the man also behind Felicity and Alias, two shows which, while critically acclaimed, have never earned the kind of ratings that Lost has in the US.

Nevertheless, Lost features many of Abrams' trademarks, including casting a relative unknown in a lead role.

He first did it with Keri Russell in Felicity and then with Jennifer Garner in Alias.

But with Lilly the move seems all the more deliberate because Lost is a show in which the characters always leave you guessing.

The fact that the audience doesn't have a previous role to base their assessment of Kate upon - as they do with Fox and Lord Of The Rings star Dominic Monaghan, who has another lead role - makes her all the more mysterious.

"Part of it was the feeling of wanting someone we could discover who you hadn't seen before and didn't have the baggage of having been on (other shows)," admits Abrams.

Lilly agrees. "I think one of J. J's main goals when he was casting the show was to have people that you absolutely and completely believe are their characters on Lost," she says.

"J. J has even (achieved that) with someone as well known as Matthew. People don't even recognise him anymore from Party Of Five. I think that was a really smart career move on his part - giving everyone that time (to forget) and also changing his appearance. He's much more handsome now. More dashing and debonair."

Emilie De Ravin is going to be on Jimmy Kimmel the 9th :D

[Suil Liath]

The Museum of Television History in LA is having a TV festival in March and Lost will have it's own evening with JJ Abrahams and a good few of the cast.

No Damon though -- it's his mother's 60th birthday back wast and he'll be there!

I don't have a link. Search the web. Tickets for general public go on sale tomorow. They're $29.00.

[cindy2001garcia]

There is an interview with Dominic Monaghan (titled Lost Boy) in the 2/10/05 issue of Rolling Stone. Check it out it's pretty interesting. The thing that surprised me the most is towards the end of the article - it mentions some of his tattoos. It says, "...(on his right foot) it's two small stars, one black, one white..."

Coincidence? Hmmmm?:)

From a post by 2B


LOST star back on ALIAS?
Get ready for a double dose of the mighty Quinn. Terry O'Quinn, who stars as Lost's spooky philosopher Locke, may be returning to his old Alias stomping grounds. J.J. Abrams, cocreator of both series, is mum on the specific details of how he'll bring Agent Kendall back but he will say, "We wouldn't have Terry (come in) unless it was worth his time." O'Quinn is all for the guest spot: "J.J.'s certainly been very good to me." We'll say.

It looks like the tricksters behind ABC's LOST are finally ready to reveal what caused Oceanic Flight 815 to nose-dive onto that creepy island. There's just one catch: It'll cost ya about $39.99. Cocrator Damon Lindeolf says the show's first season DVD, due in early September, will likely include a mini-movie that explains "why the plane may have crashed." The highly anticipated discs will also feature exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of the Boeing 747 being cut up in the Mojave Desert, a look at what went into making the original polar bear sequence and a treasure trove of never-before-seen-footage-including one scene between Locke and Young Walt that Lindeolf says was excised because "we felt it gave away TOO much." Let me guess: Vincent smuggled Snausages onto the island.

Susan Young, the television writer for my local newspaper, The Argus (Fremont, CA) just did a HUGE article on Lost. Here are some bits of new info:

"Hurley (Jorge Garcia) is the large, friendly man we know too little about. But that's going to change in a future episode in which we discover that he acheived the American dream, only to have things go oh-so-wrong."

"In a recent interview with "Lost" producers Bryan Burk, Damon Lindelof and JJ Abrams, the trio said that Claire was still pregnant and promised "the monster" would be revealed before the end of the season. They did give us one clue: It isn't a dinosaur. We also got him to admit that this thing is bigger than a breadbox (much) and lives in the trees.
But other intrigues will remain.
"There is another mystery that will make the monster pale in comparison," Lindelof promises.""

"We know that actor Greg Grunberg was asked to come back for the season finale. He was the pilot we saw getting ripped out of the cockpit and brutally killed by something we think is the monster.
Or was he killed?"

The article also said that they were going to show the monster in the Boone episode, but they put it off because of the sucess of the show.

Any comments? I won't be back to check this thread, by the way, because I'm giving up this forum for Lent. Just thought you'd like to know the info from the article.

My evil twin is going to that Museum thing in LA. She didn't think she was going to get there, due to the website frellin' up while she was ordering tickets. So she sent a nasty gram to the president of the Musem and over the weekend, she was called by the Museum and given two previously unavailable tickets. I'm jealous that she gets to go. I'm mailing her a couple of the TV Guides that came out a few weeks ago. She gets to keep the one with Sawyer on it and I'm keeping the one with Kate on it. Maybe she'll be able to get them autographed. *shrugs Dunno if that will happen, but can't hurt to be prepared.

[metfan012]

no i sure didn't tape it. Sorry, Mettie

Did anyone see Mad TV last Saturday? (02/26/05) They did a hilarious spoof of Lost! It was so funny. The asian comedian played Sun and was dramatically speaking jibberish and english. One comedian played Charlie with the hair and accent down perfect. The overweight comedian was Hurley with the same hair and "dude" voice. One guy was Said to a Tee-yea the same t-shirt and hair and the funniest was Mike McDonald (Stuart) who played Locke...he had a knife and kept poking and twisting himself with it...making weird eyes and talking mysterious and slow...it was a hoot.

[ChewbaccasInnerWookie]

Did anyone else see LOST on Good morning America??

HILLARIOUS!!

Naveen is FUNNY!!

he first apologized for not being able to tell her anything that was coming up and then relayed a story about how he had had just finished a script and at the end had been like and this is an exact quote "AAAAAHHHHH" :::holding out hands as if holding a script, hands shaking like NO THEY CAN'T END THERE!!!:::

Ian said that he TAPES the stuff and is still in awe of it.

When asked how she would describe the show Emilie said that to do that she would have to give someone the DVDS (and then she laughed).

It was SO wierd to her DDK speak without an accent, that I haven't the slightest idea what he said!!!

When asked if he could give her (the reporter) any inside/ behind the scene scoop, he hesitated said... "com'ere" turned like she should follow and then say "Naaaaah"

IT WAS GREAT and there will be more tomorrow!! :D

[wolfdemondx08]

Just wanted to say thanks for the heads up to watch Good Morning America this morning.
It went by so quick I can't even remember what was said. Just that they emphasized the fact that there are 10 men in the cast and only 4 women! But it was great to see. Anybody else catch it?

[cdh99a]

I missed this - I'm guessing from what I've read the cast was on GMA for two days? Anyway, is there a link to view this online like we could the Jimmy Kimmel clips? That'd be great.

Lost in Entertainment Weekly

Here is a blurb from entertainment weekly (last weeks). I'd link it, but you can't view it unless you are a subscriber.



'Lost' In The Scuffle
''Lost'' gives away its first clue -- The ABC hit slowly reveals past connections among the stranded survivors by Jeff Jensen

As if watching Lost didn't already require a vigilant attention to detail, the Feb. 23 episode took the blink-and-you-miss-it antics up a nifty notch: Portly fan fave Hurley (Jorge Garcia) flitted across a TV screen during Jin's (Daniel Dae Kim) flashback. ''Our first TiVo moment!'' says proud executive producer Damon Lindelof of the buzz bit. Hairy hippie Hurley's peekaboo — further explored in last week's episode (Big Man won the lotto!) — is part of a plan to cultivate six-degrees-of-separation intrigue among the castaways. So look for Sawyer's (Josh Holloway) cameo during Boone's (Ian Somerhalder) Jan. 12 backstory to be explored by season's end.

Lost is typically teeming with subtle setups: Lindelof says they've been hinting at Hurley's riches for a while; a recent reference to Locke's (Terry O'Quinn) father was a tease for a future flashback; and ''the machinations for the season finale have been in place for a very, very long time.''And then there was the other cryptic moment in the Feb. 23 episode that had many fans convinced Jin had developed the ability to convert English into Korean. ''Actually. . .that wasn't Korean. That was gibberish,''says Lindelof, adding the intent was to portray Jin's perpetual confusion. ''But I love that thought!''Apparently, Lost is cool — but not that cool.

This week's issue of People Magazine (the 1 with Bruce Willis on the cover) has a full page in its 'Spot Light' section dedicated to Josh Holloway. It has some stuff about him and some comments from Evangeline Lily.

Lost article in the New York Times today! Well, really it's about the fact that TV writers now prefer not to plan their season finales until the very end of the season. You have to register to read it, so I'll copy in the Lost-related parts. (Registration is free... If you want to read it, click on "Anxious to See How it Ends? So Are the Writers" in the Arts section.

Opening:
A few weeks ago, over eggs and turkey sausage on Sunset Boulevard, two young television writers talked shop about their network hits, until a phone call from the Hawaiian set of "Lost" demanded Damon Lindelof's attention. Josh Schwartz, the creator of "The O.C.," could guess the problem.

"To myself, I'm thinking, 'Script supervisor calling, actor doesn't want to say a line,' " Mr. Schwartz said, comparing Mr. Lindelof's call to the chaos in his life one year earlier. Back then, an actor on "The O.C." insisted he could no longer appear villainous, throwing a hastily written finale into disrepair. "And Damon answers the phone and goes: 'Hello? Unhh! What line won't he say?' " Mr. Schwartz recalled.

Later on:
According to interviews with writers from all four shows, their finales are unshot, and mostly unwritten.

"The monster of production is at your back; you're writing closer and closer to deadline," said Mr. Lindelof, the "Lost" writer, who compared his mind-set to that of a marathoner who learns at Mile 15 that the race has been extended by two miles.

Mr. Lindelof listed his show's many leaps into the unknown: a locked hatch on the jungle floor, a marauding polar bear, an man-eating monster and more survivors from a previous plane crash. As adept as the writers, led by Mr. Lindelof and the "Alias" creator J. J. Abrams, have been at adding new mysteries, they now must subtract some. There's a hard-to-quantify moment when an audience stops feeling tantalized and starts feeling manipulated.

Mr. Lindelof committed to killing off a series regular by season's end; also by that point, the raft that some castaways have been building will have set sail, he said. But just who will live or die has always been a problem for this writing staff. "In the original pilot, Matthew Fox's character died halfway through," Mr. Lindelof explained. "We made him a real living, breathing, three-dimensional guy, so that his death would be shocking. And what happened was people, ourselves included as writers, said, 'Wow, I kind of don't want to kill this guy off anymore.' " The writers enjoyed the options for this character, Jack Shepherd, a doctor who could treat fellow castaways. Then, as "Lost" writers created glimpses each of 14 characters' pre-crash histories, other survivors won immunity. "Over the year, there were plans to kill off more characters that were abandoned," Mr. Lindelof said.

From Zap2it.com:

'Lost' Team Discusses Upcoming Death and Mysteries
(Monday, March 14 12:48 PM)
By Daniel Fienberg

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) Saturday (March 12) night's "Lost" lovefest at the William S. Paley Television Festival ended a little after 9 p.m. and no sooner were the closing words out of the moderator's mouth when an audible "Whoosh" could be heard in Director's Guild of America Theatre. Fans, some of whom had arrived at 6:30 in the morning to queue up for the event, surged the stage, lunging by exiting patrons to get close to their favorite cast members and creative talent.

As this pent-up enthusiasm -- to say nothing of boffo ratings, overflowing Internet boards and boundless critical adoration -- suggests, "Lost" has, in short order, become a genuine obsession for those who follow its every unsolved mystery. So serious was the crowd on Saturday that much of the conversation was fueled by issues of life and death, particularly for one "Lost" character. While co-creator J.J. Abrams has made it clear that one member of the show's core ensemble won't make it through May sweeps, getting more information out of him might take the kind of interrogation skills that Naveen Andrews' Sayid picked up in the Republican Guard.

Abrams would only say that the character's death hit him hard.
"I wasn't really surprised that the death of this character was as hard in real life as it was on the show," Abrams said.

Showrunner Carlton Cuse added, "We felt that on a story level, we needed to retain the life-and-death stakes," noting, somewhat humorously, that with a bursting-at-the-seams cast of series regulars, ABC wouldn't have minded some additional casualties during the season.

None of the "Lost" producers would elaborate on which character would die, how they would die or even when the episode would air. The only hint on the latter point was Abrams' admission that he'd seen at least a rough cut of the big episode, suggesting that the episode will come before the yet-to-be-completed two-part finale which will air as a standard episode and then as a 90-minute conclusion. The eight cast members in attendance were able to kid about the upcoming death, with Jorge Garcia acknowledging that his own mother was less interested in Hurley's fate than in one particular fan favorite.

"I said 'I one of us is gonna die this year,' and she said, 'Not Sawyer,'" Garcia said, a joke that earned both laugher and nods of agreement from more than a few of the session's female attendees.

For Abrams, one of the evening's major themes was passing along credit for the show's breakout success. In absentia, former ABC bigwig Lloyd Braun, co-creator Damon Lindelof and frequent director Jack Bender got shout-outs. Abrams also frequently toasted the actors and at various points asked casting director April Webster, composer Michael Giacchino and a motley crew of writers to stand up in the crowd to receive applause.

Abrams also made sure to show love to the "Lost" fans, a choice that he may have made even if some of the more passionate followers didn't seem just a bit rabid.

"The thing about the fans of 'Lost' is that they're so smart and so aware," he said, adding, "We can't believe that people get the connections they get, whether they're there or not."

Although Abrams laughed (appropriately) at a question about when frequent "Alias" plot device Rimbaldi would become a factor on "Lost," he admitted that the show's staff is very conscious of viewer response on sites including "The Fuselage." Thankfully Abrams dismissed the popularly held theory that the castaways are stranded in Purgatory, though he claimed to like the idea.

"I'm so grateful and beholden to the fans and to not listen to them would be moronic," Abrams said, fueling many a webmaster ego.

It was a spirited session, characterized by cast banter and collegial teasing. Toward the end, the performers were asked to give their own suggestions for upcoming plot lines.

"I think Sawyer should throw a party," suggested Josh Holloway. "He's got all these goods."

Making another reference to "Alias," Harold Perrineau suggested, "I hope we find out Michael works for SD-6."

For his part, Dominic Monaghan said that he'd pitched an episode that concluded with burnt-out rocker Charlie sipping tea with the island's previously unseen monster.

"I just feel like Season Six we're gonna flash back to, 'Hey, remember that crash we were all in'" cracked Garcia.

Nobody, though, knows where things will really go. Even Abrams says as much.

"I would be an absolute liar if I said every single thing was planned out from the beginning."

From the Baltimore Sun:

"Actor's Equity"
Terry O'Quinn of 'Lost' and, for the moment, Reisterstown, holds a moving sale. For a Westminster family, it's packed with meaning.
&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp
By Mary Carole McCauley
Sun Arts Writer
Originally published March 21, 2005

Bryan Ayres Jr. is a huge fan of the ABC-TV show Lost.

In fact, he's such a huge fan that every Wednesday night last fall, Grandma would baby-sit for Bryan's 1-year-old daughter, Aliza. "Wednesday was date night," said Helen Ayres, 45, of Westminster. "I'd come over and take Aliza so that Bryan and Sharon could be together and watch the show."

Lost is about survivors of a plane crash on an isolated island. The 48 people who walk away from the wreckage must rely on ancient instincts and skills to stay alive. Bryan Ayres' favorite character is Locke (Terry O'Quinn), a formerly paralyzed man who, miraculously, finds himself fully recovered once the plane goes down, becoming a kind of uber-survivor with the keenest reflexes and jungle techniques in the group.

Helen Ayres can't help hoping that a version of the miracle on the show will take place in real life. For the past three months, her 26-year-old son has been in a coma, the result of a Dec. 17 car accident.

It was that hope that has brought the Ayres family on Saturday to the auction of nearly all the belongings in O'Quinn's 10,000-square-foot home in northern Reisterstown. Helen Ayres isn't entirely sure what she's looking for, but she'll know it when she sees it - some object so special that it will jolt her son back to wakefulness.

# "Bryan would want me to be here for him," she says. "I keep imagining him looking around in awe."

We're all planets spinning in our own orbits, our stories intersecting only incidentally with those of other people.

On Saturday, at the O'Quinn place, there were more than 500 planets bumping and spinning and jostling on the lawn outside O'Quinn's home. That's the number of visitors who registered to bid at the estate sale run by Caplan's Auction Co.

The visitors included David Paschane, 36, of Silver Spring. He and his wife, Amy, 34, are expecting their first child, a boy, in three months.

For the future Elliott Conrad Paschane, David Paschane plunked down $22 for three tubs full of sports equipment - helmets, a basketball, ski boots, tennis rackets, lacrosse sticks, even a paintball set. Whatever sport Elliott Conrad might want to play, oh, 20 years from now, David Paschane figures he's got it covered.

And then there's Terry O'Quinn's wife, Lori, who has spent the morning watching strangers peer into her refrigerator and critically hold up her juice glasses to the light.

"It feels weird," she says. "But people have been very nice."

The right decision

She knows that moving is the right decision for her family. Lost looks to be around for a while, and the show is shot in Hawaii - quite a commute from Reisterstown. Besides, both the O'Quinn sons, Oliver, 23, and Hunter, 21, live in Los Angeles, where they are studying acting.

"We're done with the big house," she says. "It's time to be gypsies for a while. It's about Terry and me now. I keep telling the boys, 'I'm done being a mama.'"

Still, it's hard to leave the home that she and Terry built on property that formerly was a riding school run by Lori O'Quinn's parents. It's hard to leave the place where she met Terry when he was a young actor appearing in a Center Stage production of Shakespeare's Measure for Measure in the late 1970s.

He needed riding lessons for Heaven's Gate, a Western movie he was to play a role in, and she provided them. When the film ran into production delays, though, Lori's parents began to question whether the man who'd been mucking out stalls in exchange for room and board was a legitimate actor. They threw him off their property, and the 21-year-old Lori tossed her saddles into the trunk of her car and followed him.

The couple's first date was at the cast party for Measure for Measure. They married in 1979. (Heaven's Gate premiered in 1980.)

Eight years ago, they built their dream home on the family farm, a Gothic-style manse with a stone turret and stained glass windows. Terry built many of the furnishings, including the doors and several tables.

Lori O'Quinn knows there's no turning back; the house itself already has been sold. "What's left is just stuff," she says.

Though she has reserved two rooms full of cherished possessions that were not for sale (her saddles, family photos, gifts from friends), nearly everything else is on the auction block: an antique rocking horse and a dollhouse; scripts of the pilot episode of Lost signed by every member of the cast; a 1999 Ford pickup (which drew the day's highest price at just over $10,000, according to auction house owner John Caplan); the gazebo on the front lawn.

Lori O'Quinn tears up, then apologizes. "You caught me in an emotional moment, there. What the heck. I'm moving onto another stage of my life."

Something for Bryan

The Ayres family can't move on. Not yet.

Bryan Sr. and Helen are daily thankful for their two younger children: Bethaney, who has pale blond hair and a 16-year-old's perfect figure, and open-faced Joshuha, who, at 14, still responds without embarrassment to his mother's teasing. Not to mention Helen Ayres' five sisters, all of whom live in Maryland. "If it weren't for my sisters," she says, "I'd never make it through this."

And she's grateful, of course, for baby Aliza, who visits her father once a week in the hospital, and who the Ayreses say will occasionally walk up to a framed photo of her dad and kiss it.

At the auction, Helen Ayres buys some wicker baskets and two tubs full of Christmas ornaments. Bethaney invests in a really nice curtain rod set, with etched glass finials.

Bryan Ayres Sr. spies something he thinks his son might like - a small wooden desk and chair made by Terry O'Quinn and painted a light green.

With his wife's approval, he starts to bid. He almost drops out several times, but when the price climbs to $400, he looks over at Helen, who resignedly nods OK. "$410?" the auctioneer tempts.

The woman competing for the desk holds up her yellow bidding slip. Bryan Ayres can go no further.

"Thank God," Helen Ayers says. "We can't afford that, not on our salaries. Not now." She drives a school bus, and her husband paints and hangs wallpaper.

And it's not as though the family will go away empty-handed. The Ayreses and the O'Quinns have a mutual friend, who obtained a picture of the Lost cast and arranged for Terry O'Quinn - who was away on location Saturday - to sign it.

"To Bryan," Terry O'Quinn writes. "Get well soon. I mean it. Really soon." He has promised to phone Bryan once he wakes up.

And recently, there have been signs that the young man has been trying to do just that. Now, when Helen talks to her son and asks him if he understands her, Bryan Jr. will raise his index finger. "I know he's there," she says. "I know it."

Meanwhile, she continues to search for "something to stimulate him." It's a mother's equivalent of a signal flare, a message to her child marooned on a deserted island to hold on, because help is on the way.

.................................................. .............................
Didn't know if I should post this here or under Terry O'quinn board. Just some trivial info, wish I knew about this before it was over!

[ChewbaccasInnerWookie]

Awwww..... that's sooo sad. I hope that guy wakes up soon

[3rdStar]

Oh boy that is tough. I know he isn't the only young person to have an accident land them in a coma but it doesn't make it one bit easier for that family. It may sound odd but his youth is probably working for him on this one. The younger the person the better the body is at repair. Plus he has a family who is obviously so devoted to him. My prayers will include both Bryan and his family tonight.

PoisonousLookalike, let me be one of the first to welcome you to Lost-TV. I'm sure you're going to enjoy your stay. By your first post, I see you've taken a look around, and found the right place. If only all newbies took your lead.

Can I assume you live in NoCal? If so, would there be anyway for you to tape the radio broadcast, transcribe it, and post it somewhere? I'm going to try and catch it on the Web, but I might have to leave for a meeting.

TIA!

Damon Lindelof on KFOG Radio morning show (3/30/2005)

Sorry but I missed the first couple of comments of the interview. I didn’t turn on the radio until 7am (I had no idea when the interview would be on between 6am an 10am). This picks up in mid interview. I think I missed the intro and first question. This is my first time transcribing audio stuff so bear with me and the typos. Hope it's not too long.

DL - Damon Lindelof
MS - Morning Show people (there are about three or four of them chiming in)

The Interview:

DL : (in response to how did you pitch this show to the networks) The beauty of it was that ABC sort of came to J.J. Abrams who was doing ‘Alias’for them and they said “We want to do a show about a plane that crashes in the south pacific” and he kind of said “okay, what’s the show?”. They said “We don’t know but we want a plane to crash in the south pacific and we want that to be a show.” I was fortunate enough to get roped into the concepting that came out of that meeting so basicially it’s kind of whatever we needed to do to make that idea work they were completely on board with. We were just blessed and were allowed to have a fairly unfettered creative process and uh, and do the show which I think is cool and very unique.

MS : I have to admit that I’m a huge fan of the show now but intitially when I saw the pilot I was like I can’t get into this, there were heroin addicts climbing mountains, there was a, a polar bear! Is there ever any time when you were writing this you just go this is just too ridiculous?

DL: I love how heroin addicts climbing mountains is actually more ridiculous than the polar bear running out of the jungle (laughter from the morning crew) It’s a...it’s a... you know, we have to walk that line between what is sort of believable and what is believable in the world of TV, you know and every once in while we’ll make a mistake but the good news is, you know, you can take a step backwards and sort of look at it as a fan and go, okay we went a little bit too far there let’s try to put the genie back in the bottle and I think we’ve sort of learned, you know, from our mistakes and we’ve found a pretty cool zone to be in.

MS : What kind of stuff were you watching on TV when you were a kid or teenager?

DL : You know, I loved, growing up, The Incredible Hulk, The Dukes of Hazzard, and uh... let’s see, I loved Miami Vice and um....

MS : I’m just trying to figure out the inspiration for Lost...

DL: What the influences were?

MS : Yeah.

DL : I watched a lot of Twin Peaks, X-Files, that was sort of more, you know, those were more direct influences on the show sort of coming in. And I watched a lot of old TV, my dad in into old TV so I watched, you know, The Prisoner and all the old Star Trek and all that stuff.

MS : Damon, I have a question. How far ahead are you guys, like how many seasons do you have, do you see in you head so far for Lost?

DL : We actually, you know, sat down and we figured out what the last episode of the show was going to be early on because, you know, we needed to have a destination. You know, when you get in your car and you’re taking a road trip you should know where you’re going to end up. It’s okay if you stop or, you know,if we’re going from New York to L.A., it’s okay if you stop in New Orleans and party and you turn back and go down to Miami as long as you eventually get to L.A. you’re cool. You know we didn’t know how successful the show was going to be so we were prepared, you know if it completely bombed to sort of like say ‘okay, here's the island that they on and here’s everybody’s mystery’. You know, it would be quick, Johnny the explainer scene but fortunately we now have a much broader canvas to paint on.

MS : Now there are a lot of geeky fansites about Lost and a lot of speculation to about what’s actually going on and I don’t expect you to tell me, you know, what’s going on but people say they’re in purgatory or they’re in hell or whatever. What are some of the more crazy ideas that you’ve heard?

DL : I think the purgatory one is a really interesting one because, you know, people die on the show so it’s like, uh, where do they go? You know, they’re just deader I guess.
You know but, one of the ones that seems to keep cropping up is that is just all sort of a dream, it’s all, they’re different personality types of just one person, none of this really actually happening, you know. The fans are all trying to find what is this uber explanation for the show. All sort of guessing what the ultimate twist just might be and I think that’s a lot of fun. I’m sure if I was not involved in the show I would be on one of those geeky sites, ah, because I am a huge geek and, um, postulating my own theories.

MS : Now the characters are very deep. I’m wondering do you have a favorite character and also who do you find are the viewers favorite characters?

DL : My, my favorite character sort of changes from week to week. I’ve always sort of, you know, I’m a big, you know, kind of Locke fan, you know. We’re doing another one of his episodes tonight and um, and um, I love that guy. He’s just a, Terry O’Quinn is a genius and he’s really really interesting to me, and I like Hurley too. Hurley’s really funny and I... I... literately ask me next week and that will completely change again. What’s great about the show everybody sort of has their favorite and um, you know, they’ll come along for the ride with these people.

MS : The guy who plays Hurley was a drug dealer in ‘Curb your enthusiasm’ once and there’s kind of reference to the fact that perhaps he comes from ‘Curb you enthusiasm’ into ‘Lost’. Do you know what I’m trying to say?

DL : Well yeah, we um, J.J. Abrams and I actually watched, saw that episode of ‘Curb your enthusiasm’ that Jorge Garcia was on. He’s just in that one scene where he’s selling pot to Larry David and we just said that guy has got to be on our show. And we didn’t have a part, we didn’t have a part for him yet but we just, we just said let’s get that guy in here and we will write a part for him and um, the rest is kind of history.

MS : Damon, ‘Lost’ came along at a time when reality shows really seemed to be ruling the roost. Do you think because of the success of say ‘Lost’ and ‘Desparate Housewives’ that actors in your part of the woods may actually continue to get work?

DL : Yeah, you know I think it’s been really good for drama both those shows because they have such big casts and I think that’s one of the things we learned from reality TV is that audiences can really track, you know, 14 or 15 or 16 characters at a time. It makes you not have to focus on any one person for too long and you can tell stories over a much longer period of time that way. And I think bring back the ensemble drama in same way that ER and NYPD Blue did back in the 90’s, you know, we’re just putting a different spin on it. We’re not reinventing the wheel but incorporating what’s so great about reality TV back into drama because, you know, people watch those shows for a reason.

MS : Damon Lindelof (to the rest of the Morning crew) Do we all have clarity now?
As much as to be expected? I don’t think he’ll tell us.....

DL : I will answer them all....

MS : (among themselves) Do you want to know anything? Like how’s it going to end up? Yeah, what’s going to happen in the last episode?

DL : The very last episode?

MS : Yeah, the series finale!

DL : That I can not tell you but I promise no one is going to wake up and realize it was all a dream.

MS : Thank you! Thank you for that!

Followed by some more thanks and that was pretty much the end of the interview.

This news bit was from this mornings Honolulu Star Bulletin paper...

ABC has given the green light to a one-hour "Lost" special, with the network's marketing and programming departments overseeing production. The special, to air April 27, is designed as an introduction to the series, to include tidbits about six of the main characters that have been revealed since the series began in September.
A source said the characters will retell their stories "in a linear fashion" -- an idea by the drama's co-creator Damon Lindelof -- to see how the characters are interwoven. The focus will be on Jack, Kate, Locke, Sawyer, Charlie and Sayid, as these core characters are constantly interwined with everyone else's lives. The unnamed South Pacific island they're marooned on will also have its own segment.

And, in a bit of welcome news, producer Carlton Cuse says that things have been worked out to allow the production to stay in Hawaii.

Looks like the premiere of the Season 2 will be held at Sunset on the Beach in September. And a new series regular, Daniel Roebuck, will appear in the last three episodes.

Series star Matthew Fox heads to New Zealand's exclusive Treetops Lodge and Estate for a five-day stay once the series wraps in mid-April.

Kudos to Kauai-based still photographer Mario Perez, who's had a busy year with NBC's "Hawaii," Fox's "North Shore" and "Lost," and now scores a Page 1 photo in Sunday's Los Angeles Times travel section about "Lost" ...

Not necessarily. Maybe Mathew Fox is the star of the first season... but he may NOT be the star of the second season... ??? JJ ain't telling. In the latest TV guide Sawyer says "he knows who will die" but won't tell,, Good for him.... What a show! 8)

‘Lost’ extends
season finale
The season finale of "Lost" has been expanded to two hours, from the original 90 minutes, for creative reasons. The May 25 finale is up against the wrap-up of "American Idol" on Fox. Series creators J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof had planned for an hour-and-a-half show, but the final script came in longer than expected, thus the decision to expand.
ABC/Touchstone will likely begin using the state's Hawaii Film Studio soundstage next month without rental charge, at least until construction on the Diamond Head site ends early next year.

Meanwhile, the million-dollar-plus hotel set of "North Shore" is being disassembled for a two-day public auction of props, clothes and other items. Stay tuned for dates.

Security has never been tighter on the "Lost" set over the details of the last episode and the character who dies. No visitors are being allowed to ensure no leaks. The actor, sources said, is not being eliminated because he has been dating a producer's daughter. Cast and crew say they're constantly receiving security warnings about keeping a tight lip and some aren't even getting full scripts ...

[SpidermanHouston]

This is from the NY Post and it looks like there is going to be a story in this week's Entertainment Weekly. Hopefully another story cover.

News Story hot off the press about Boone:

April 7, 2005 -- THE actor who plays Boone, killed off on last night's "Lost," isn't happy about becoming the first casualty on one of TV's hottest new shows.
"Pretty devastating," Ian Somerhalder tells Entertainment Weekly. "The week [before] I got the call [telling him the bad news], I started looking for a house in Hawaii.

"Now I'm looking for a house in Venice Beach."

Boone died last night from the injuries he suffered after the small plane he was investigating fell out of a tree.

Somerhalder, who played the preppy trust-fund baby, tells EW he understands why "Lost" creators J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof killed off his character.

But he also says they "boxed themselves into a corner" by revealing that someone was going to die — making him and his castmates anxious about which one of them might be the one.

"We really didn't appreciate that. They already fooled the audience twice," he says, with the apparent deaths of Shannon — which turned out to be a dream — and Charlie, who was revived using CPR.



"It's like 'Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times, I'm going to stop watching your show.' "

Somerhalder, 26, tells EW he was on a wine-tasting weekend in California last January when he got the bad news from Abrams and Lindelof. "Thank God I already had four glasses of really good pinot in me," he says.

His angst is understandable, considering that "Lost," along with ABC stablemate "Desperate Housewives," is the season's most-talked-about new series.

It's been averaging around 16 million viewers a week and becoming the watercooler show in telling the tale of survivors of a plane crash fending for themselves on a mysterious island.

But "Lost" executive producer Carlton Cuse tells EW that killing off Boone was a necessity because it will affect Locke (Terry O'Quinn) — Boone's father figure — and Jack (Matthew Fox), the island's doctor.

"It was a narrative imperative that we kill Boone," Cuse says. "It sets in motion a chain of events leading to the season finale."

Fans of Somerhalder can take some solace that Boone isn't completely gone — he'll appear via flashback in the two-hour season finale May 25.

"I'll always have a place in Hawaii," Somerhalder says. "Trust me — life is great. And you know what? This show has made it that much better."

EW's story on "Lost" hits newsstands tomorrow.

Another Boone article from USA Today

Death for Boone, birth for Claire on 'Lost'
By Bill Keveney, USA TODAY

As if to underline the deadly serious stakes, first-year hit Lost killed off one of its 14 regular characters Wednesday as Boone (Ian Somerhalder) died of injuries suffered in last week's episode. The show completed a circle of life as another character, Claire (Emilie de Ravin), gave birth.

Boone, a callow young man who had been toughened by island challenges, is the first fatality among the ABC drama's main cast. Although the character hasn't been as central as some, such as Jack, Kate, Sawyer or Locke, he was featured in a flashback episode — a Lost signature — and has been as prominent as any other of the airline crash survivors.

So why Boone?

"It will be very apparent as to why he died, just in terms of figuring out which character's death would impact the most relationships on the island," executive producer Damon Lindelof says.

Boone's death after he was injured when a small plane he was searching through fell from a cliff will affect the character's estranged stepsister, Shannon (Maggie Grace), and her growing love interest, Sayid (Naveen Andrews).

Boone "is the only person that ever really knew and loved Shannon, in spite of herself. Of course, losing him, especially with so much left unsaid and unresolved, will change her irrevocably," Grace says by e-mail from Hawaii, where Lost is filmed.

The series, which averages 15.9 million viewers, was renewed this week for a second season.

Boone's death sparks immediate conflict between two alpha survivors, Jack (Matthew Fox) and Locke (Terry O'Quinn). Locke was searching for ways to open a secret hatch with Boone when he was hurt. Jack, a doctor who tried to save Boone, is furious at Locke, a mysterious adventurer who lied about the cause of the injuries.

Death is "in the DNA" of a show with so many regular characters and an air of imminent danger, Lindelof says. He and fellow executive producer J.J. Abrams decided to have the death come now so that the ramifications could play out leading up to the two-part, three-hour season finale (May 18 and 25, 8 p.m. ET/PT).

And "that's not to say Boone is the only character who dies this season," Lindelof says.

Although Boone's death made sense from a story perspective, that didn't make it any easier telling Somerhalder. Lindelof praises the actor's performance on the show and says Somerhalder has handled the matter gracefully.

Others in the cast, who had wondered whether their characters would die, were saddened by Somerhalder's departure. Sequestered far from Hollywood, they have become "a tightknit group," Grace says.

"The day we filmed Ian's death was pretty heavy for everyone, especially Foxy (Fox's nickname) and Ian. They're very close," she says. "We've all known from Day 1 that we might not all be here for the duration of the show ... but there was still this feeling of camaraderie, that we were all in this together and would be for some time to come."

[soonerfaithful]

And "that's not to say Boone is the only character who dies this season," Lindelof says.

‘Lost’ death surprises by being predictable
Viewers expected more of a twist from hit drama

COMMENTARY
By Gael Fashingbauer Cooper
MSNBC contributor
Updated: 11:17 p.m. ET April 6, 2005

In the end, the much-hyped death of a major character on ABC's hit plane-crash drama "Lost" was surprising only because it was so predictable.

Since its fall debut, "Lost" has thrown viewers twist after twist. Mild-mannered Hurley turned out to be a millionaire. Cool Kate was a bank robber, and maybe worse. Mysterious John Locke had been paralyzed until the crash cured him. And stepsiblings Boone and Shannon had, uh, the kind of sibling relationship a lot of us suspected only went on between Greg and Marcia Brady.

So when show creator J.J. Abrams started telling the press that he was going to kill off one of his 14 main characters before the season's end, no one seemed safe. Readers shared many of their thoughts with us, and almost everyone was suggested as a possible corpse.
It was fairly unanimous that main character Jack (Matthew Fox) was safe. Not only was he the island's only doctor, but he seemed to be central to all plotlines, the little universe's non-elected leader. His semi-girlfriend Kate may have her own dark past, but she seemed fairly safe too, although many readers weren't too fond of her. (In a birthing scene on Wednesday's episode, she at first seemed about as useful as Prissy from "Gone With the Wind.")

Viewer speculation focused almost instantly on minor characters, helped by a quote from actor Josh Holloway in TV Guide where Holloway dropped a hint that the doomed character was one whose plotline wasn't developing.

If there'd been Las Vegas betting on "Lost," that quote alone would have pushed the odds heavily towards Jin (Daniel Dae Kim), if only because it's tough to develop your plot on an English-language show when you're only allowed to speak Korean. Other prime suspects included Charlie, the formerly drug-addicted rocker, and single dad Michael.

Another plane crash
But then came last week's episode, in which the island's Dynamic Duo, Locke and Boone, set out on an adventure inspired by a vision of Locke's. He'd seen a small plane crash on the island, then seen his companion Boone streaked in blood and mumbling. Then, as visions seem to do on Mystery Island, Locke discovered that at least part of his vision was true: A small Beechcraft plane had crashed on the island and was hanging high in the trees.

As viewers learned in that week's flashback, Locke had been used by a person he thought cared for him. His wealthy father, who'd never been in his life, befriended him only long enough to convince his son to donate a kidney to him, then shut him out of his life again.

Now on the island, in his new life, Locke and Boone had become friends. Locke wanted to know what was in the crashed small plane, and he himself couldn't climb into it. Yet he'd seen the vision of a bloody Boone, he had to suspect that this part of his vision would also come true. Yet much in the same way that his father sacrificed him to get what he wanted, Locke sacrificed his young friend, sending Boone into the plane without telling him what he'd seen. And of course, the plane came crashing down from the trees, injuring Boone badly. As Locke dragged a bloody Boone back to doctor Jack, last week's episode ended, and the speculation heated up.

But now instead of going for the obvious bet, many viewers figured the show was feinting one way and would actually go the other — that Boone being so badly injured made him too obvious a candidate for the grave. Surely, they felt, some of the island's magic would save him and another, less obvious character would lose his or her life.

Just too obvious
They had ammunition for that way of thinking thanks to multiple feints in last week's episode. As the episode focused on Locke's past, viewers saw him pre-wheelchair, and witnessed numerous falls and moments that could have caused Locke's paralysis. Yet each time, he got up and walked, the mystery of what took his ability to walk remaining just that, a mystery.

"Boone won’t die — they did the same thing a couple of months ago, advertising that somebody was going to die, and it turned out to be someone we barely knew, if we’d known them at all," wrote one reader to MSNBC.com.

Said another "Boone being hurt so badly as we are nearing the season's end makes him a blatantly obvious choice. And there is nothing blatantly obvious about 'Lost', except the continuing mysteries of the island."

Ironically, the obvious choice ended up being — well, not so obvious.

It's of course still possible that Boone might not be dead. Viewers are still clucking that evil Ethan, who was shot multiple times by Charlie earlier this year, is just too evil to be killed by regular bullets. And the island might have healing powers — it apparently gave Locke back his ability to walk.

With the birth of Claire's baby son at about the same moment that Boone slipped away, it's also possible there could be some kind of soul transfer or rebirth cycle going on. Although it's more likely that Claire's son has his own well-developed plot planned out — rumors abound that he's either the savior or the antichrist, based on the ominous behavior of an Australian psychic.

Killing off a main character, even a secondary main character such as Boone, is jolting for any show. Still, on a show like this one, it's likely that such a monumental event will only open up more and different directions for the plot to go.

It was apparent from the preview that Jack blames Locke for Boone's death, and it's obvious from his wrenching tears last week that Locke also blames himself. The two have been island leaders up until now, their confrontation is certain to shake and divide the island.

Earlier in the episode, not knowing her brother was dying, Shannon told new love interest Sayid that she would always feel something for Boone, but that she didn't love him in a romantic way. She's sure to be devastated by the loss regardless, but those words are likely to ring through her mind as she grieves.

Even characters that barely interacted with Boone are sure to be affected, as his death brings home the danger of the island to all of the survivors.

Maybe by creating a fairly straightforward death, the show's creators are reminding viewers that anything really can happen on this island. After all, in a world full of twists, the ultimate twist is a straight line.

Ian Somerhalder was on Regis & Kelly this morning and he explained that he knew that he was going to die like 2 months in advance, but he also stated that in the last episode of the season we would see a glimpse of what the island really is. Pretty interesting stuff, can't wait to see!

I tuned into Howard this morning without having seen "Do No Harm" yet, and found that they were talking about the latest episode of LOST. Both Robin and Howard were pretty convinced that the survivors were stuck in purgatory. They briefly discussed worm holes, time travel, and them even being on another planet. Then Howard had to drop the bombshell that Boone actually died and Claire had her baby, which pissed me off because I was planning on watching the episode later in the day, so I turned it off.

NEW YORK, April 14 (UPI) -- An actor in "Lost", a popular ABC TV series about plane crash survivors on a mysterious island, says more characters are about to die.

Ian Somerhalder, who plays preppie, trust-fund kid Boone, says his character's death in the last episode won't be the only one in coming shows, the New York Post reported Thursday.

"There are going to be a lot more", said Somerhalder, who also vowed Boone would be back in flashbacks -- and maybe more.

Somerhalder also said he was unhappy with the lack of attention given to Boone's stepsister, Shannon, played by Maggie Grace.

"I was a little disappointed at first", he said. "I thought it didn't make any sense

Part of the Lost cast visited Disney to promote the show before it aired. That pic was taken back in September. You can find info about a fan's visit to that event in Disney here:

Lost Star Takes Pulse Over Breed (http://www.zap2it.com/movies/news/story/0,1259,---25483,00.html)

Josh Holloway of ABC's 'Lost' Signs for 'Whisper' (http://today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=filmNews&storyID=2005-04-13T085144Z_01_N13373162_RTRIDST_0_FILM-FILM-WHISPER-DC.XML)

I scanned previous links. Hope none are repeats.

[SpidermanHouston]

The new issue of Wizard magazine(June 2005, #164) has an article on who should be the next Wonder Woman. They list their top nine choices. One of their choices is our Kate, Evangeline Lilly. Here is what they say about her:

BEST KNOWN FOR:Playing badass, mysterious former bank robber Kate Ryan on ABC's monster hit "Lost," Lilly's learned to play dangerous as well as seductive. The 25-year-old Alberta native got her start as a model, but has quickly become one of the hottest and most sought-after young talents in Hollywood.
THE PRO:Athletic and as gifted which looks as she is with acting chops, Lilly's traveled to over 14 countries and speaks fluent French. On "Lost," we've seen that she's a natural tracker and can handle weapons easily; sounds like Diana to us.
THE CON:With a hectic shooting schedule for "Lost" in Hawaii, Lilly's one of the busiest actresses on TV today. Doing a "Wonder Woman" movie might preclude her from returning to the red-hot breakout TV series of the '04-'05 season.
DIDJA KNOW? Checkout the goodwill ambassador. Lilly lived in a grass hut in the Phillipines with a missionary group and has voluteered for children's projects since the age of 14.

Their other eight candidates are Eva Longoria, Catherine Bell, Mischa Barton, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Monica Bellucci, Jessica Biel, Taylor Cole, and Morena Baccarin.

[dsera]

I have to say I'm not thrilled with her being wonder woman. Sure she's hot and all but when you think wonder woman you think curvy, which Evangeline is not. Just my $.02

[SpidermanHouston]

I have to say I'm not thrilled with her being wonder woman. Sure she's hot and all but when you think wonder woman you think curvy, which Evangeline is not. Just my $.02
If she does get the part of Wonder Woman, maybe she is taking off on the raft and missing the beginning of the second season. Not a spoiler, just my thought or speculation.

[Mattie]

Doing a "Wonder Woman" movie might preclude her from returning to the red-hot breakout TV series of the '04-'05 season.

If she gets that part...ugh. She can't leave the show, damn it.

I hate when TV shows become popular and then movie people offer them scripts and ruin OUR show! Get your own damn movie stars...leave our show alone.

[SpidermanHouston]

If she gets that part...ugh. She can't leave the show, damn it.
She may not leave permanately, read my post above yours. KF2, maybe you can petition to get Angelina Jolie to take the Wonder Woman part.

[Mattie]

maybe you can petition to get Angelina Jolie to take the Woner Woman part.

If only.

[MoreLikeHurleyThanYou]

Oh good. I had thought she had already gotten the part. I'm sure they will end up going more mainstream than Evangeline with the title role, in an attempt to get the most money possible. It's a shame though because she is a great actress, but I'd rather have her on the show than in another comic book movie.

[GotLost88]

Get your own damn movie stars...leave our show alone.

I can't agree w/ you more, KF2. Until Lost, I really haven't gotten hooked on any TV show. Now that I have, I'd be devastated if one of my favorites, if not my favorite, character was pulled off the show to do some comic book movie. Luckily though, according to some news I read on TVGuide.com (at least I think that was where I read it..) , casting hasn't even come close to starting for the Wonder Woman movie and they did express their doubts of Evangeline Lily getting the part because of the fact that she's such a new face and she's got contracts w/ Lost. I really hope they're right!

[dsera]

You can't help but feel happy for her. But, it would be devastating for Lost. Not sure the show would survive without the sexual tension between her and Jack.

It would also be unlikely that TPTB wouldn't have our 14 major actors, tied up contractually. Allowing them time only during hiatus to do other roles. A lot like Jennifer Garner, from Alias.

I love the one of Kate in the jeans. Evangeline is so beautiful.

Thanks SpidermanHouston for the article. I'm wondering if they're going to rerun them in order?

[SpidermanHouston]

Thanks SpidermanHouston for the article. I'm wondering if they're going to rerun them in order?
If season 2 starts in late September, there will only be about 15-16 weeks between the season finale and the season premiere. So they can only show around 15 episodes, they may skip some of them. Also it looks like the reruns will be on at 10pm Eastern/9pm central Wednesdays.

[Mattie]

Wow, interesting move by ABC to show reruns. Good idea though I guess.

[dsera]

In regards to the wonder woman thing....this weeks Ausiello Report in TVGuide reads:

"Lost girl as Wonder Woman? Don't believe rumors that Lost castababe Evangeline Lilly is set to headline Joss Whedon's in-the-works Wonder Woman feature film. A source close to the production insists that casting has not even begun. I hear they're too busy looking for her invisible jet."

hehe

[MoreLikeHurleyThanYou]

Sweet. Not that I don't want her to get work, I just don't want them messing with this damned show so they can make a Wonder Woman movie.

[spacekadet]

tell me this please, as i live in romania and the broadcast is kinda slow, we're only at episode 16 (got my hands and the rest tho). so tell me, how does it work - season 2 will start in late september, and how far apart will be each episode be? 2 weeks ? what ? and breaks, or they will air it continuously till the end of season 2. ty and sorry for my n00bness in american television :)

Season 2 will start in September and a new episode will come weekly. But every so often they will air reruns to split up the timespan of season 2 so they can have it ending in May. No one really knows when they'll air the reruns but there will be something, it's not a new episode every week for the entire season.

I think so Xan. It better be...if I miss another appearance I'm going to be pissed I already missed Dom.

I hate Leno, I wish he would go on a show like Late Night or JKL. Leno doesn't even pretend to know about his guests unless they are major movie stars. It's so awkward.

Maggie Grace out of X3? : www.moviehole.net/news/5844.html (http://www.moviehole.net/news/5844.html)

[Hodgepodge]

SpidermanHouston says:Maggie Grace out of X3?I sure wish they'd make up their minds! One minute she's in, the next she's out. What's a body to do!

[Mattie]

If it's true, do you think it's because of something in her contract that ABC is making her stick to?

[SpidermanHouston]

More confirmation that Maggie Grace is out of X3, I suspect conflicting schedules since FOX wants this movie filmed ASAP for a May, 2006 release.

comics.ign.com/articles/6...656p1.html (http://comics.ign.com/articles/629/629656p1.html)

[Mattie]

Finally, it has been confirmed that Nightcrawler is pretty much out of X3, which begins filming this August for a May 26, 2006 release.

They'd be shooting in August. That's probably why she couldn't do it...scheduling conflict? How could she have brown hair while filming X-Men and come back for episodes of Lost as a blonde. Plus the studio filming probably wouldn't want her leaving and flying back and forth all the time. What if she's filming Lost and they needed her for a quick scene or something?

[SpidermanHouston]

It's official, Maggie Grace is no longer in X3 because of Lost.

filmforce.ign.com/x-men/a...836p1.html (http://filmforce.ign.com/x-men/articles/630/630836p1.html)

[Mattie]

She must be so upset. She would have been getting paid tons more for that movie than she does for Lost. :( Plus, it'd really gotten her name out and made her more of a star.

[Hodgepodge]

Kathy Fan 2 says: She must be so upset. She would have been getting paid tons more for that movie than she does for Lost. Plus, it'd really gotten her name out and made her more of a star.Yeah, she's probably hot enough to fry an egg on her head. I wouldn't be surprised to see her ask out of her contract before it expires. Or, she maybe the "you know what, to you know what"!

SpidermanHouston probably knows this. Any idea how long her and the others contracts are for?

[Mattie]

I'm just guessing Hodge but *most* shows give their stars a contract up to season 3 (if season 1 was a big success). ie: after season 1 when negotiating begins, most stars get a 2 year deal taking to them the end of season 3.

That's why most shows lose or gain stars at season 3, when certain people want out. Payment negotiations usually go on at season 3 too. Once the contract expires, in order for them to "sign" you again with another contract the stars usually request more money. Sometimes studios don't feel like giving the raise and kill off the characters. This happens again at season 5 (because usually the 2 year deal signed at season 3 is now up).

I don't know how Lost is doing it though, with wanting to kill people off so frequently I'm not sure if the producers are giving the stars 1 or 2 year deals. My guess is 2 years for people like Jack and Kate and a few others and maybe 1 year contracts for the rest. I think the stars of Lost were business savvy enough to ask for full pay season contracts though. That means the producers can kill off your character at any time during the season but you'd still get paid as if you appeared in every episode the entire season.

I'm really hoping Maggie isn't too upset over this. But I think anyone in their right mind would be. She's probably getting paid $100,000 per episode for season 2 and she would have gotten paid a lot more than that for a high profile movie like X3. More important would be the star status though, that's what everyone wants. If she appeared in a hit movie like X3 more people would have seen her face and offered her movie roles. Now she won't get that opportunity...

Lost About 'Lost'? DVD Plans To Fill the Gaps


While many dramatic TV serials offer a recap during their season premiere, ABC will be offering viewers of its hit series Lost a chance to watch all of the episodes of the past season on DVD. Disney's Buena Vista Home Entertainment announced Tuesday that Lost: The Complete First Season, featuring a making-of documentary, comments from the cast and creators, and outtakes, will be available at DVD outlets on Sept. 6. The second season of Lost, starring an ensemble cast led by Matthew Fox, is scheduled to launch on Sept. 21.

I personally think we're looking at three, maybe four nominations:

1. Matthew Fox - Lead actor in a Drama
2. Evangeline Lilly - Lead actress in a Drama
3. Terry O'Quinn - Supporting actor in a Drama
4. Lost - Best Drama

Any idea when the nominations are going to be announced?

I was just going to link that Spidey! I'm loving the Lauren Graham shoutout. I love Gilmore Girls and cringe each time the Emmy people don't even nominate Lauren Graham for her performance. (I'm overlooking the fact that she should have won twice by now, but even a nomination would satisfy me). How someone who has Golden Globe nominations and Screen Actors Guild nominations for her performance but not an Emmy nomination yet in 5 seasons is beyond me. LET THIS BE THE YEAR! Or I'm gonna get real ugly with these idiots. And if Matthew Fox isn't nominated...oh boy. I should probably avoid the boards for a day so I don't go nutty...er.

SMALL ALMOST NON-EXISTENT SEASON 2 SPOILER
*SPACE*
























































Changes Coming To Lost &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp
"Damon Lindelof, co-creator and executive producer of ABC's Lost, told SCI FI Wire that the next season will offer some answers to the first year's mysteries, but even more questions. "We're going to blow it up and change everything this year," he said in an interview at the Comic-Con International in San Diego. "I mean, I think that our attitude is not to do more of the same. They're going to go into the hatch, and what they find inside is going to change their state of being for quite some time. So we're going to continue to explore the characters as we always have. The show will be the same in the way that we tell the stories. But season two is really about exploring the island along the way and we just hope that people think what they find is cool."

IN its early stages, the concept of the breakout television hit series Lost must have been like an uncut diamond — potentially priceless, depending on how it is cut and shaped. As its facets took form in the hands of the show’s creator J.J. Abrams, the hit show’s brilliance gradually shone through. With the help of able stars who carry the series from episode to episode, and from strength to strength, the multiple facets of this gem of a show are showing and reflecting the dazzling talents that have gone into making it such a ratings success.

Beside lead actors Matthew Fox (Jack Shephard) and Evangeline Lilly (Kate Austin) as well as the lovable Jorge Garcia (Hugo ‘Hurley’ Reyes) — the personality who stands out most and has everyone eagerly watching her week after week has to be Korean-American actress Kim Yun Jin who plays the enigmatic Sun Kwon.

Meeting her in person in Taiwan recently, the 31-year-old actress is every bit as achingly beautiful and ethereal in the flesh as she is on TV. She is also disarmingly honest, frank and open in discussing her life and work.



When it was pointed out that Korean stars are riding a wave of popularity in east Asia (star-struck victims include Hong Kong, Taiwan and Malaysia), she is genuinely delighted and intrigued at the same time.

She demurely says, "I suppose we (Koreans) are taking our turn. I hope it lasts."
She is very much aware that sometime back Hong Kong actors and then Japanese celebrities were very popular throughout Asia.

In Lost, Kim originally went in to audition for the role of Kate, probably the ultimate independent woman on television today.

When J.J. Abrams first met her, Kim recalls, he was taken aback and said, "Oh my God! You’re just like an American girl!" Which she was, of course. The thing is that when she went in to read for the part, her fame in Korea had preceded her and everyone assumed that she’d been in Korea all her life.

She told Abrams that although she was born in Seoul, her family migrated to the United States and she grew up in New York.

Having met and having been duly impressed by Kim, the makers of Lost decided to create the role of Sun for her. Abrams, of course, is the man who’d also created two other hit television series, Alias in 2001 and Felicity in 1998.

"It was really exciting," she says of the development, "as Sun wasn’t originally written into the pilot."

But when she read the script, she became very concerned. Sun had been written to be very conventional and obedient. To boot, her character didn’t speak a word of English.
"I was shocked and I spoke to J.J. Abrams. We had a two-hour conversation where he explained that the characters are all changing and growing. He said Sun will eventually speak English. His master plan for Sun is to find herself away from her environment and society. She changes as the show goes on," she explains.

"Sun’s character is very traditional — she doesn’t climb trees or run. When you see the flashback to Sun’s background, you understand why her husband is very protective of her," she elaborates on the character’s arc.

Speaking of the multi-ethnic talents who make up the cast of Lost, Kim says that, "it made perfect sense to have all these different people to be in the plane crash." She feels that the show reflects today’s reality where people from all backgrounds are always travelling to any part of the world at any one time for various reasons. And the characters of Lost, as audiences in Malaysia are discovering, all have their very own personal reasons for having been on board the doomed flight.

Her entry into Hollywood was through doors first opened in South Korea.
It has been widely reported that she was acting in plays in New York when a friend asked her to assist a visiting production team from Korea as a location manager in 1996. Needless to say, the visiting producers took one look at her and immediately cast her in a series they were working on and off she went to Korea. That first series she appeared in was, as she roughly translated the Korean title into English, The Hunch. This was followed by a few other series and Kim quickly became a household name in Korea.

She truly became a big star when her Korean feature film, Shiri (1999), became a box office hit at home and throughout Asia.

Fast forward her career to the present and you’ll find Kim on sandy shores. Lost is shot on an island in Hawaii and, thus, Kim and the rest of the cast members found themselves on the beach all the time.

"It’s great. We don’t get to wear make-up or do our hair," she says, adding "Well, we use some powder but we aren’t allowed any hair dryers."

In the beginning, though, she confesses, this made her very self-conscious. But she got used to it, in no small part thanks to the dynamic cast members of the show.

To complete one season of Lost, which has 24 episodes, Kim spent nine months on the American island paradise state, away from her family and friends.

"We were bored as we all had nothing to do," she remembers of that time. In the beginning, anyway.

Not surprisingly, the lot bonded soon enough and she says the cast became a close-knit bunch. They would often gather at Fox’s place for drinks and watch each completed episode. A fun and endearing guy, Fox would often throw parties, giving the cast precious opportunity to gather and unwind.

"Matthew is a lot like his character in that he is noble. He is also great fun to be around with. We would all be having drinks and he would go skinny dipping in front of all of us in the pool. He doesn’t have any qualms about taking his clothes off," she says, with a laugh.

Fox, 39, who is married and has two children is, of course, the main attraction of Lost. He was previously known to audiences through another American television series, Party of Five (1994).

Of Naveen Andrews, Kim says that Andrews is very funny and curses all the time.
"Naveen is very sweet and warm and he says ‘Bloody hell’ all the time when he speaks, very unlike his character," she relates, highly amused.

A Briton and born Naveen William Sidney Andrews, the 34-year-old actor plays the Iraqi Sayid Jarrah in the show.

Another actor, Ian Somerhalder, who plays Boone Carlyle, is described by this actress as having "the most beautiful face and perfect complexion that, however you shoot him, he still looks so pretty."

"All the women hate him because he looks so pretty," says Kim, laughing.

The camaraderie shows as she talks of her fellow actors.

And what of the island itself , which has audiences all around the world speculating about its nature. Is it purgatory? A gigantic scientific lab for human experiments? Are all the characters in the show dead? Even Kim doesn’t know. And the folks behind the show refuse to tell the cast what the island is all about.

"We (the actors) are always trying to figure this out when we are having dinner or drinks with the filmmakers. They (creator/producers) roughly have an idea but they do not reveal any secrets."

Which is just as well, we suppose.

According to Kim, the actors get the script two days before the start of the shoot of an episode. Each episode is wrapped within 10 working days.

The first season, which is currently being shown on AXN, was completed in April this year. It started shooting in July last year.

The pilot was shot, Kim says, between February and March 2004.

"When we were making the pilot, we all had a good feeling about the show. We had a strong feeling that it would be made into a series," she reveals.

Then, when the television network greenlighted the project after the producers pitched the pilot to the TV station’s top brass, the rest of the episodes were shot and, as they say in show business, became a ratings goldmine.

The second season will also have 24 episodes and shooting is set to commence soon.
It seems only natural at this point to ask the actress which place she considers her base now, Hollywood or South Korea?

"My career in Korea is very, very important to me. I’m glad I had a career in a different country — they value the work I’ve done in in Korea very highly. That’s the reason I broke into Hollywood. During the hiatus with Lost (i.e. breaks in between seasons), I will continue to do Korean projects."

Kim said that she’d just finished a film in Korea, called June’s Diary. Stateside, the next film project, she says, will be with Billy Bob Thornton.

How is Kim dealing with the whole fame thing?

"I like it very much. As an actor, you want to be given the juicy roles. Sometimes it comes your way without you even trying. I am in it for the role and the opportunity to work with other actors," she says.

As to what makes a perfect day for her, the petite actress says, "What makes me happy is that at the end of the day, after I’ve done my work, if I felt that day was good and I did my best, that’s when I am really happy. You must enjoy things while you can!""

Kathy Fan 2 says:Season 2 will have 24 episodes.

...To complete one season of Lost, which has 24 episodes, Kim spent nine months on the American island paradise state, away from her family and friends.KF2, are you basing the 24 episodes on this article, or something else?

[SpidermanHouston]

The latest issue of Wizard (September 2005) has an artist's rendition of Maggie Grace as X-Men's Kitty Pryde. I guess they did the art before Maggie bowed out but the article does mention maggie is no longer in X3. I dont have a scanner but i took a pic that you can find here: i16.photobucket.com/album...ggiex3.jpg (http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b14/SpidermanHouston/maggiex3.jpg)

Yes Hodge but not that part of the article.

The second season will also have 24 episodes and shooting is set to commence soon. It seems only natural at this point to ask the actress which place she considers her base now, Hollywood or South Korea?

[Hodgepodge]

Thanks KF2, I read right through that blurb. :eek

And SpidermanHouston, Maggie looks pretty good as a brunette as well. Sorry her schedule wouldn't permit her inclusion in the movie.

Hodge:

You ain't kidding! Holy. I think I like her as a brunette better. (I'm always attracted to girls with darker hair)

Is anyone else getting the Lost UMD? It says on the press release that it will include a featurette called Lost at Comic-Con. I don't think that is included in the DVD, is it?

More talented people. I'm jealous.

From article supplied by Hodgepodge:

Plans are to begin selling memberships to the official Lost fan club near the end of August, pending studio approval. A six-month membership will run approximately $30 and will include a member kit with knickknacks such as an exclusive DVD featuring convention footage and possibly selected show footage.

Attention SoCal people! :)

Someone posted this at lost-forum.com (in the Naveen forum)... I have no way of knowing if it's legit, though:

KTLA morning news is broadcasting from Huntington Beach tomorrow (Thursday the 28th), 6AM to 9AM, by the pier, and Naveen Andrews is going to be a guest.

If it's true, it would be nice if someone could record this... maybe the rest of us could see it (if you're clever that way) or at least read your account of what he had to say.

They have casted maggie grace's replacement in X3: www.moviehole.net/news/6002.html (http://www.moviehole.net/news/6002.html)
But in this interview with Damon, he states she was never even casted for X3 and it was just a rumour: www.the-trades.com/column...umnid=3405 (http://www.the-trades.com/column.php?columnid=3405)

[RunLoganRun]

As someone mentioned above, Lost is adding a new character. This is plastered all over the place on MSN and MSNBC - so, I wasn't given a chance to decide if this is a spoiler to me personally - it was pretty much forced down my throat by the media. Here is another link:

So the KTLA thing happened yesterday and the person who posted about it at lost-forum.com posted pictures:

I am a bit disturbed that Naveen is clean-shaven. Don't get me wrong - I think Naveen looks great with or without a beard, but Sayid is supposed to have a beard, dammit. Aren't they supposed to start filming season 2 any day now?

One possibility is that they won't be needing him right away, but man, how long does it take to grow a full beard? I don't want to wait until Episode 4 for Sayid to show up.

The other, much more disturbing possibility is... it's Shannon's fault. I'm imagining another horrible shmoopy kissyface makeout scene where Sayid tells her he shaved his scratchy beard just for her. Bleah. :x

[Mattie]

IMO they already explained people being shaven, they showed Jack shaving once in Outlaws so if anyone shows up completely shaved I can understand it.

[MoreLikeHurleyThanYou]

Agreed KF2, but something that drastic might warrant some small explanation.

[nebnima]

is naveen andrews british?

[Mattie]

Yes. His accent on the show is fake.

[MoreLikeHurleyThanYou]

I think he looks much better with the beard

[Hodgepodge]
