Kristen: Michael Emerson's thoghts on Juliets death

Scott in Halifax, Nova Scotia: Lost!

At the 35th Annual Saturn Awards in Burbank, Calif., we asked Lost's Michael Emerson how Ben (who once crushed hard on Juliet) would react to the news that she had nuked herself, and Emerson said: "Ben's no longer in a position to entertain romantic notions. I don't think there's room for romance in Ben's world right now. As much as he admires her on a lot of levels, I don't think he can do anything about it." We also asked, on a scale of one to 10, how he would rate Elizabeth Mitchell's awesomeness? "It would be a number higher than 10." Word.

Jill in Auckland, New Zealand: I need some new Lost news!

The best we can offer you on this fine afternoon is Lost show runner Carlton Cuse saying nothing about Lost at the Saturn Awards, but saying it darn well:

Watch With Kristin: How much of the speculation on the Internet about Lost season six is correct? Give us a percentage.

Carlton Cuse: I'm not really good at math, so no speculation about that.

WWK: You're the best stonewaller ever.

CC: This is what we like to call stonewalling season, where we try to preserve radio silence—but we'll be coming out of Comic-Con with some cool things, I think, so we're excited about that.

WWK: There is one very important question.

CC: OK.

WWK: Can you get Josh Holloway to come to Comic-Con?

CC: Mmmm...That's a good idea, which I will pitch to the appropriate parties. Josh is great. We would love it if Josh would come.

WWK: And here's a question you're not going to answer. Season one: Jack's the most important person ever. Season four: Ben's the key to everything. Season five: Jacob. If you had to pick a character who was the most central to what Lost is in the end, who would it be?

CC: You're right, I'm not going to answer that.

1. We tried.
2. Tell Holloway in the comments that he should appear on Lost's final Comic-Con panel

Still care about ABC's Lost? Here's 'Ben' on what's coming in the final season

As usual, all things about ABC's Lost are hush-hush, lest any posters on the Fuselage message boards get wind of spoilers, but rumors persist that long-departed cast members such as Maggie Grace may return for at least one appearance in the show's sixth and final season.

First things first, though: Are the regulars still coming back? Season five ended with a bomb exploding in the past, possibly erasing the entire present of the show.

Foxy's article in french magazine some spoilers too !

foxy was at monte carlo festival and french reporter met him and he answered fews questions about LOST, his character in s5 and some infos about s6 too
here a summary of what he said about LOST

-he never believed in jate and don't think they'll ever come back in each other arm again.
-In s5, jack changed a lot and don't try to control everything, he became man of faith. because of locke he thinks he has mission on the island.
-in s6, jack will fight someone more powerful than Ben but he can't say more about it.
-no more flashback or time travel, linear storyline for s6.
-s6 will give us all answers, some fans could be disappointed about it 'cause nobody can see the thing the same way, they can't satisfiaze everyone.
-this last season will proove they knew the end since the beginning.
-the end, will be sad, beautiful and liberator.
-he'll be sad at the end of LOST 'cause he'll have to say goodbye to some people. he was close of people during 5 years but know after the show will end, they'll not be anymore and his life will take another road.

Lost's Mr. Eko Wants Back On The Island

Actor would love to give Eko closure.
by Matt Fowler

June 23, 2009 - In an interview with TVGuidemagazine.com, Lost's famous Season 3 casualty Mr. Eko, actor Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, admitted that'd he would, in fact, love to return to the show to play the character once again. Akinnuoye-Agbaje's Mr. Eko was an immensely popular character that had to be killed off way before his time after the actor asked to be released from the show prematurely. With the last season of Lost fast approaching, we're all expecting to see some past favorites return. "To be able to give that rich character some completion would be nice," said Akinnuoye-Agbaje. And while the actor keeps in touch with fellow ex-Losties Dominic Monaghan and Harold Perrineau, it is still unknown whether or not he'll be back for the hit ABC series' endgame.

- ABCYou'll be able to see Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Heavy Duty in the upcoming flick G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and in a guest spot on USA's hit detective show Monk, where he'll play a Nigerian man trying to solve the murder of his wife. In somewhat related news, eonline.com's Kristin Dos Santos reported that Dominic Monaghan had breakfast this morning in the Fairfax district of Los Angeles this morning with Lost show runner Damon Lindelof. I wonder what this means? Is Charlie Pace coming back after all? Maybe these two guys just wanted to eat some eggs together. Get off their back! Can't a man eat in peace??

Kristen: Is Dominic Monaghan Returning for Lost Season Six?



Today 12:40 PM PDT by Jennifer Godwin

Rumors have been swirling for the past month about Dominic Monaghan's upcoming projects.

In addition to talk that he might have a role on ABC's Flash Forward (with fellow Lostie Sonya Walger), there's been ever-noisier buzz about a possible Lost return engagement. Could it really happen?

Well, we just got a juicy tip that suggests there very well might be a place for doomed rock bassist Charlie Pace in season six of Lost. Here's what we're hearing...

A reliable spy tells us that Monaghan, one of the key original Lost castmembers, and Lost show runner Damon Lindelof had breakfast together this morning at a Fairfax district eatery in Los Angeles. Of course, the meal might just have been a friendly sit-down between two colleagues (and/or because waffles are delicious), but as Lost-loving optimists, we have to hope that it was a meeting where the two talents came to terms about the story that puts Charlie Pace back in the mix for season six.

Now, there's no telling what the last episodes of Lost will really be like. Speculation begins with a safe landing for Oceanic flight 815 and from there gets really, really crazy.

In the many months between now and the season-six premiere, the best we can do is sit back and let our imaginations run wild, collect pieces of the jigsaw puzzle and hone our dreams and theories about the castaways of Mystery Friggin' Island. So what's your theory?

If Dominic Monaghan is returning to Lost, do you think he will reappear as strung out 815 Charlie? Or would he be hanging out with Hurley (Jorge Garcia) as a transcendent (but dead) rock god? Does he have an alternate-universe dopplegänger? The possibilities are endless.

We await your speculation and theories in the comments below!

Total Hoax: Lost Island Coming to Walt Disney World

DarkUFO has confirmed this to be a Total Hoax.
http://lostmediamentions.blogspot.com/2009/06/no-walt-disney-world-isnt-planning-lost.html
If you were hankering to join Jack, Kate and Sawyer on Walt Disney World's new Lost-themed attraction, sorry to disappoint you, but it's all a hoax.The report on the Disney's Folly Web site was posted by a joker named Jason, who 'fessed up to his prank on this message board."It wouldnt' take much digging to find that my intro to this blog (kicked off a few weeks ago) describes Folly and Faux as a sort of playful April Fool's stab at Disney-related wishes. Disney fans are always tossing around rumors and ideas for the old Discovery Island, and Lost constantly comes up. So I knew with my exhaustive fandom, I could cook something up. I shouldn't have underestimated the viral power of the Internet."Whatever.

Walt Disney Parks and Resorts has announced extensive plans to convert the old Discovery Island in Bay Lake to a new Lost-themed attraction. Lost Island is set to receive guests by the Summer of 2011, a year after the show concludes its six-year run on ABC.

“We strong believe that the show will live on in popularity after its conclusion. This type of show can be successful in syndication for decades and with the advent of DVD—sales of which have been very high for this series—there is clear evidence that Lost will remain popular well after next Spring's series finale," said Celandine Coda, vice chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.

EW: The 'Top Chef Masters' get pleasantly 'Lost'

Jun 18, 2009, 07:24 AM by Ken Tucker

This week's Top Chef Masters gimmick -- cooking a meal for the folks who labor on Lost that included a Dharma Initiative-approved shopping list -- wasn't nearly as hokey as it sounded, and resulted in another satisfyingly civilized, amusing hour. I'm really enjoying what is now one of the rare reality/competition shows that doesn't rely on a lot of bad, rude behavior for its drama. Instead, we get the pleasure of watching what judge-critic Jay Rayner referred to, in praising one dish, as a "generosity of spirit" that extends to the whole hour. The fact that the food was also being eaten and judged by Lost brainiacs such as Damon Lindelof, Carlton Cuse, and Brian K. Vaughan was visual dessert.

Granted, these chefs weren't without competitive spirit. It was fun to watch lank-haired Wylie Dufresne mutter bleepingly when his vending-machine Quickfire Challenge didn't go completely as he'd planned. But I was happy that the ultimate winner (here you go: spoiler alert) was the soothingly calm, wry Suzanne Tracht. Her heaping bowl o' various foods, from risotto to sea urchin to boar, certainly seemed truest to the Lost theme of hungry-stomach-filling grub.

What did you think? Are you enjoying the Masters as much as regular Top Chef? Did you agree with the judges' choice of winner?

Lost's Maggie Grace Is Returning to Hawaii!

Today 7:52 PM PDT by

The final season of Lost is starting to look like that farewell to ER that recently aired—you know, the one that showcased nearly all the former cast members?

Emilie de Ravin's return to the island is already confirmed, and Dominic Monaghan's is in a promising state of limbo. Now, Maggie Grace is hinting that she may be the next deceased survivor of Oceanic 815 to crash Locke's power party.

When asked if she was looking forward to returning to Lost, the stunning starlet confirmed she's packing her bags. But what exactly did she say?

"I'm looking forward to visiting Hawaii soon," she teased to E! News at BCBG's Whitney Art Party in NYC tonight. "I don't know why..."

While she wouldn't say if she would be heading there for work or pleasure, she certainly sounded hopeful.

"I think that they are brilliant writers," she said. "If they found the right reason, then I'm sure I would be on."

EW: 'Lost' star Josh Holloway on Juliet, Jack, and Jughead: An EW Must Issue Video

'Lost' star Josh Holloway on Juliet, Jack, and Jughead: An EW Must Issue Video
Jun 18, 2009, 12:00 AM by Jeff Jensen

The master list of possible Emmy nominees was recently announced, and we at EW were thrilled to see that Josh Holloway, who has played Sawyer on Lost since its first season back in 2004, is among the mix of potential candidates for Best Supporting Actor. Season 5 was a great year for the 39-year-old star, whose wise-cracking, morally ambiguous con man character completed a series-long shift to full-fledged romantic hero as he led the castaways through time travel peril and fell in love with Jughead-banging Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell). His grief as he watched his Dharma lady slip out of his hands and fall to her doom was one of the TV season's most heartbreaking moments. While we hope Emmy remembers Holloway when it winnows its list of Best Supporting Actor players down to a final five, we decided to move ahead and give him an honor of our own by putting Holloway's in this year's Must Issue, EW's annual summertime compendium of essential artists, performers, and assorted coolness.

In my previous trips to the Lost set in Hawaii, I have always found Holloway to be extremely cordial, charming, and curious about the mysteries of his show. He's always demonstrated a deep concern that Sawyer remain emotionally credible and compelling without being melodramatic or over the top. And he takes Sawyer's quips very seriously: When I visited at the end of Season 2, I remember watching him pace through the jungle, rehearsing his lines over and over again to himself, wanting to make sure Sawyer's new Prince-esque nickname for Ben Linus ("The artist formerly known as Henry Gale") tripped easily off his tongue. I encountered a slightly different Holloway at our Must Issue photo shoot in the Hollywood Hills late last month. He was as cool and engaging as always, but greatly enhanced by the glee and marvel (and exhaustion) of new fatherhood. (His daughter, Java, was born last April.) The guy certainly has a certain impact on ladies: At one point during the photo shoot, I spotted a member of our crew discretely pick up one of Holloway's shirts and give it a good long sniff. Seriously.

I got a chance to chat with Holloway after the pics were snapped, which we present to you in the three parts. In Part 1, embedded below, the actor talks about Sawyer's romance with Juliet and their tragic parting. In Parts 2 and 3, Holloway talks about his bloody confrontation with Matthew Fox's Jack Shephard in the season finale and also discusses some theories with yours truly about where the castaways will finds themselves at the start of Lost's sixth and final season.

Kristen Speculation on Charlie coming back

Cynthia in Ireland: I was so happy to hear about Charlie, Shannon and Claire returning to Lost next season, and then so bummed to find out that nothing except Claire is for sure yet. What's the current status of various dead castmembers returning to Lost?

Even though Dominic Monaghan is said to be appearing on another ABC show next season, reportedly Flash Forward, we're just paranoid enough to think it might be a double cross, and that D.M. might actually be heading back to Lost after (or in addition to) whatever else he does on the Alphabet Net. Why do we think this? Because very reliable sources now tell us that there is "mutual interest" (between the Lost PTB and Dominic Monaghan) in bringing about a season-six return visit by Charlie Pace. Look for official developments in the next week or two.

Returning Castmembers

Question: I'm pretty sure I saw you at the Renegade Craft Fair in Brooklyn last weekend. You're even cuter in person! With that said, can you give me anything on Lost? --Sean

Ausiello: I was hoping I'd have an excuse to run this question, and my prayers were answered last night when this piece of scoop fell in my lap: Contrary to what a loose-lipped agency assistant Twittered yesterday, no deals are in place for any season 1 Lost alums to return for the show's sixth and final season. That said, I can confirm that Team Darlton is checking the availability of several MVPs. My guess: We'll get the official scoop on who's returning at Comic-Con next month.

Io9: "Lost" Castaways Get Gourmet Meal, Courtesy of "Top Chef"


By Gary Susman, 11:30 AM on Thu Jun 11 2009, 914 views


Next Wednesday, Lost's producers judge the latest elimination challenge on Bravo's Top Chef Masters: cook a meal with the limited list of ingredients available on the mystery island.

Lost honchos Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse will be the guest judges on the June 17 episode of the reality cook-off. As host Kelly Choi told the competitors (see video below), they'll have to make do with island staples: fish, tropical fruit, wild boar meat, and canned Dharma food. (Note the "Confidential" folder in Choi's hand, with the Dharma logo on it.) Fittingly, the challenge is dubbed "The Lost Supper." No word on whether the Top Chefs will have to put ranch dressing on everything, or whether Lost epicure Jorge Garcia will get to participate (Dude!). But a word of caution to everyone involved: a billowing column of smoke may mean something far more sinister than a burnt salmon fillet.

Lost, the last of its kind?

'Lost' director sees end to epic-scoped TV shows

BANFF, Alta. -- When "Lost" airs its final episode next year, it won't just be the end of the popular serial.

Jack Bender -- a producer and director on the hit drama -- says it'll likely mark the end of epic TV shows in general.

"It's going to be one of the last huge television shows in terms of size of cast and scope of production," predicts Bender, in town to lead a master class at the Banff World Television Festival.

Jacob Dead or Alive? Ben's not telling

Melissa in San Diego: Any word on Mark Pellegrino being on Lost next season, or is Jacob really dead?

We posed that question to Michael Emerson who claims he doesn't know the fate of Jacob, but since Ben was the one to stab him, we don't quite believe him. "I have no idea, honestly, I wonder. I can't wait to see that next script," he says. The cast of Lost goes back to Hawaii in the middle of August to shoot the final season, and Michael is really looking forward to it: "It's certainly bittersweet, but it's sort of exciting to know that they're not going to string it out. They are going to end that sucker in 17 episodes. I can't wait to see how they do it." We can't either!

Spoiler alert: 'Lost' mystery solved!

Jun 5, 2009, 06:54 PM by Michael Ausiello

How very sneaky of you, ABC.

I just found out why Dominic Monaghan is appearing in ABC's new promo campaign, and it has nothing whatsoever to do with Charlie being resurrected on Lost next season. But that's exactly what the network wants folks to think. Why? Because they're trying to keep under wraps the real reason he was playing table soccer with Patrick Dempsey, Courteney Cox, and Ed O'Neill in that clip.

This is the part where I warn you of an incoming spoiler and give you one last chance to bail before continuing on...

Okay, here it goes: The real reason Monaghan is featured in that cheeky spot is because he's actually joining the cast of another hour-long ABC drama series as a full-time series regular. And the net's brass want it to be a surprise.

A big surprise.

As a result, they've kindly asked me not to ID the show he'll be joining. And, being the understanding and cooperative creature that I am, I very reluctantly obliged.

The fact is, assuming it doesn't leak elsewhere, it will be a neat surprise.

Breaking: Is Charlie returning to 'Lost'?!

Jun 5, 2009, 03:51 PM by Michael Ausiello

That's the vibe I got after watching a new ABC promo (embedded below) that just made its way onto the Internets. The cheeky clip, part of the network's fall ad campaign, features new and returning ABC stars Courteney Cox-Arquette, Ed O'Neill, Patrick Dempsey, and... Dominic Monaghan?!

An ABC spokesperson declined to comment, but a network insider cautions against reading too much into the spot. "There's obviously a lot of ABC talent in the promo," the source points out. "It doesn't necessarily mean that Dominic is returning to Lost."

Monaghan's rep, meanwhile, had this response when asked if his client was being resurrected on Lost. "You never know. Stay tuned."

Claire's future on Lost

Question: I miss Claire on Lost. Emilie de Ravin is such a great actress. Will she be back for all of next season? --Kelly

Ausiello: Yes! After sitting out last season, de Ravin will return as a full-time series regular for Lost's sixth and final season, Team Darlton confirms. "Damon and I are very excited to bring Claire back to the show," says Carlton Cuse, "and even more excited for people to experience just how she will return." And even more exciting that that? Experiencing Doc Jensen's theory on how she'll return. Take it away, DJ:

"Any scenario that brings Claire back to Lost must address the mysterious circumstances of her disappearance at the end of season 4, in which many of us were led to believe that she was as dead -- or rather, undead -- as the Ghost Christian that's been haunting The Island since season 1. So here's one thought: Juliet changed time in the season finale by detonating Jughead, and season 6 will tell the story of the new timeline, one in which Claire is alive. Another thought: In light of the revelation that John Locke was actually a supernatural impostor for half of season 5, perhaps in season 6, we'll get a storyline in which Claire just emerges out of the jungle, with no memory of what happened to her -- just like season 1 -- and we and the castaways will be left to wonder: Is this the real Claire or another impostor infiltrating them a la Locke? Heck, maybe that's going to be the major idea of next season: Who's really alive and who's really (un)dead? It really will be the fabled zombie season of Lost!" Thanks a million, Doc!
