here's a transcript of what went down...
ETA: for archival sake, with many thanks to TLEC:
11:12am (West Coast Time Zone) BellyOfDesire just called me from inside the panel. Rachel interrupted the panel with Damon Lindelof & Carlton Cuse. Rachel Blake was sitting on the front row during the Q&A with Damon & Carlton. Nobody seemed to notice her because her back was to everyone. People were lined up at a mic asking the producers questions. Suddenly, Rachel interrupts, yelling out with something along the lines of (this rough from both bellyOfdesire & Andy. Both have audio that they will send later.)
Rachel: Don't be cute. Tell us what you know about the Hanso Foundation.
(Crowd erupts into applause.)
Lindelof: The Hanso Foundation is uh..a philanthropic organization that we have co-opted for the purposes of Lost (?) with the orientation films and uh...
Rachel: Those films are real! We deserve the truth.
Lindelof: (unintelligible)...we're writers...
Rachel: You're liars! You're promoting them as some force for good and they're not!
Lindelof: Look, uh, you know how Dan Brown uses Opus Dei in The DaVinci Code...
Rachel: Okay, so, since you claim not to know, How about I fill you in. They claim to have a monkey named Joop, a 105 year old orangutan. How can you (write about Iceland? (obscured audio)) Do you know anything... (Lindelof and Cuse lean to one another to confer privately) Stop...stop that! (Something about Africa). How do you explain the deaths of Hugh McIntyre and Darla Taft?
Lindelof: (we can't answer) your questions, we have no connection...
Rachel: I'm sure they wanted me to ask these questions.
Lindelof: We have no connection...
Rachel: That's a lie! They bought ads during your show. They're putting money in ABC's pockets to prove it's a great philanthropic organization?!
Lindelof: (Maybe...maybe you need to ask...)
Rachel: Stop it! You're protecting him. You're protecting a very real, very dangerous organization.
Lindelof: It's not real! It's a television show! There is no Alvar Hanso! (
Editor's note: this was pretty surreal as it reminded me of the Shatner SNL sketch with "Get a life!", especially since many people were not familiar with TLE)
Rachel: It is real! The Hanso Foundation is real! The Dharma Initiative is real! Thomas Verner Mittlework is real and what he's doing right now, in Sri Lanka, he's doing terrible things, that's real. Where is Alvar Hanso?
Lindelof: He's an actor.
Cuse: He's in a window in our TV show.
Rachel: Alvar Hanso is real and
I am* living proof of that and my name is Rachel Blake and I am real! (Crowd roars into applause) if you want the truth, you will go to hansoexposed.com! (Rachel turns to face crowd and shows her shirt with
www.hansoexposed.com) (Obscured audio) (She turns to face stage again) you have blood on your hands! You have blood on your hands and YOU DISGUST ME!
(Rachel is led out by security)[/QUOTE]
ETA: *I made this edit to the original transcript...she clearly says "I am living proof of that"...
