Comic-Con 2010 Friday: TV Guide Magazine: The Hot List

Elizabeth Mitchell, Morena Baccarin and one other actor from V along with other actors from other shows were on the panel. New episodes of V will start shooting on August 12th. Morena Baccarin supprised everyone when she showed up with blonde hair both at the TV Guide and later at the V panels.

-The cast memebers of V spoke about how even serious moments they find time to crack up and laugh inbetween shots.

-Elizabeth was asked about always being chased wiether it be Lost or V and she said that yes she is always being chased, shooting or being saved.


I took this photo on my way out after seeing a night screening of the WB strait to DVD feature Batman: Under the Red Hood. I love how the circle just seems to go on forever.

Comic-Con 2010 Friday: EW Women Power Panel

I spent the morning wandering the hall and buying half off Graphic Novels, Transformers and other things. After that I got into the long and hot (since it was out side) line for Hall 20 the second biggest hall in the San Diego Convention Center.

Elizabeth Mitchell from from Lost and V, Anna Torv from Fringe and 3 other women from Scott Pigram and another movie spoke about being a woman in Hollywood, I was mostly interested in the Lost & Fringe stuff so that's what I'm reporting here.

Elizabeth Mitchell spoke about dangling in a well which received a huge response from the audience. She also spoke about how excited she got when she got her first flashback. Also how weirded out she was about her "The Other Woman" flashback.

One of the Movie actresses were talking about running around shooting guns and Anna Torv compared that to how she had recently been running around in a forest while shooting a future episode.

When asked about how nice it is that now women don't have to wear revealing clothes just like Men can now can show weaknesses, Anna Torv said that she was glad that her role always requires that she dresses up. She commented about how funny it was that on Fringe Olivia usually does all of the boy action stuff while the boys are usually found chatting in the kitchen.

Lost Emmy Nominations

Man I really hope that Lost sweeps this just like Return of the King did for the Oscars. Kind of an overall set of awards for the entire series. I expected the Emerson and O'Quinn nominations, but I was pleasantly surprised at Fox for Actor and Mitchell for Guest Actress. The Jack Bender nomination was great also along with Darlton for Writers. I love how the web/DVD special "Mysteries of the Universe" is going up against all of the teeny bopper stuff.

'Lost' star surprised by fans' grief

By BILL HARRIS, QMI Agency

Last Updated: March 18, 2010 1:46pm

Sawyer (Josh Holloway, left) and Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) in one of Lost's heartbreaking death scenes. LOS ANGELES — Elizabeth Mitchell said she was shocked by the outpouring of grief from fans when her character on Lost was killed earlier this season.

“That was surprising,” said Mitchell, who played Juliet. “I never thought Juliet was particularly likable, so I was surprised that people were sad that she died.”

Mitchell has gone on to star in V, which returns with a new episode March 30 on ABC and A. Lost, meanwhile, is in the middle of its sixth and final season on ABC and CTV.

In Lost, of course, death is a relative thing. Mitchell is returning to the show in some form, and she said she was due to receive the series-finale script some time this week.

When asked if Juliet and Sawyer (played by Josh Holloway) might be living together happily in Lost’s alternate universe, Mitchell said, “I love to think that.”

Mitchell chuckled when considering that Juliet kind of died twice. She fell down a well in the finale of Season 5, and was presumed dead, but then she was still breathing for a short time in the first episode of Season 6, just long enough to die in Sawyer’s arms.

“I had somebody say to me, ‘Like, really? I already cried!’ ” Mitchell said with a laugh. “And I was like, ‘Well, we didn’t ask you to cry again! I didn’t write it! They just asked me to come back and I said yes!’

“So maybe a little overkill on that one.”

V Teams with Lost; FlashForward Gone Until March

ABC makes new plans for their genre TV series.
by Eric Goldman

December 4, 2009 - When V ran its last episode, ABC had a promo at the end saying the series would return in March. The network now has set the specific date for the show, and while it's still in March, it's barely so – March 30th.

That will keep V on Tuesday nights, but the show will now be airing at 10:00pm – right after Lost. That's right, it'll often be Elizabeth Mitchell Tuesdays, as both her series (while no longer a regular, she's expected to make several appearances on Lost's final season) will run on the same network, on the same night, back-to-back.

The notable mid-season break for V has been known (and debated) for some time now, but ABC has surprised viewers by also now announcing a big break for FlashForward. That series ran its final episode of the year this week, but instead of returning with new episodes next month, as originally expected, FlashForward will also be off the air until March. New episodes will begin airing Thursday, March 4.

ABC touts that holding both series until March will allow both to run uninterrupted for the remainder of the season – but obviously fans will still bemoan going so long between new episodes.

Elizabeth Mitchell in EW article

Ask Austello: Series Finale & Elizabeth Mitchell

Question: This is probably a long shot, but got any “Lost” scoop? --Jeff

Ausiello: Yeah, having “Lost” scoop in late May is about as unlikely as me combing through my old transcripts and finding an unused Damon Lindelof quote pertaining to the show’s series finale. OMG, looky here: “We’ve been planning out the final season for four years now. And of all the talks we have had about the show, (reuniting all the castaways) is the subject that has come up the most. The ending was almost where we began, and we had to figure out how to get there. It’s like a wedding where the reception is the part that requires the most planning and is the most fun to plan. We’ve exchanged our vows and I am ready to go party.”

Question: Realistically, how many episodes of “Lost” do you think Elizabeth Mitchell will be in next year? --Derek

Ausiello: My gut is telling me we’ll see her in two episodes max. But my gut has been wrong before. Oh, who am I kidding, no it hasn’t.

'Lost' scoop: Juliet mystery (sort of) solved

May 18, 2009, 11:52 PM by Michael Ausiello

And now for some news that should surprise no one: ABC is expected to announce tomorrow that it has picked up a reboot of the camptastic '80s thriller V and that Lost heroine Elizabeth Mitchell is a full-time castmember.

Translation: She will not be returning to Lost as a series regular.

However, before you go declaring Juliet DOA from last week's detonated hydrogen bomb, I should point out that this piece of scoop comes with a big but attached: Mitchell's Lost days are not done. Multiple sources confirm that the actress is expected to appear in an unspecified number of episodes next season, so it's entirely possible Juliet survived Jughead and her absence will be explained in another way. (Check out Doc Jensen's column this Wednesday for a comprehensive Juliet theorypalooza.)
