LOST Untangled: “What Kate Does”

LOST - VITAL LOST PROP BURNS IN LILLY FIRE

17 January 2010

VITAL LOST PROP BURNS IN LILLY FIRELOST star EVANGELINE LILLY regrets stealing a revealing letter written to TV series character Sawyer at the end of the first season - because the piece of television history was destroyed in a house fire.
The actress sneaked off with the letter, which exposed the dastardly past of Josh Holloway's character on the desert island drama, because she thought it would be worth a lot of money one day.

She says, "It completely backfired... I took the original 'Mr. Sawyer' letter.
"I thought, 'This is a good take,' and then it burned in my house fire... so I'm kinda hesitant to take anything else."

Lost: Josh Holloway and Evangeline Lilly Say "Petty Love Affair" Could Leave Fans Hanging

Today 9:15 AM PST by Kristin Dos Santos



Attention Lost fans: Before you watch the video above, please take a seat, have a paper bag to breathe into, and repeat after me: It will be OK.

Josh Holloway and Evangeline Lilly are sharing their thoughts on what might happen with Lost's love triangle in the final season, and though it's clearly all in good fun (these two are always a good time), some of you "shippers" might not like it!

Evi playfully insists that 38 percent of fans are "Skaters" (Sawyer and Kate fans) and 62 percent of fans are Jaters (Jack and Kate fans).

Should we take a new vote down below, just to make sure?

Evangeline and Josh also open up on their feelings about Lost coming to an end for good (may I have a hanky, please?).

And here is my biggest confession about this interview, which will probably really infuriate some of you fans (sorry):

I took an entire minute of my teensy-tiny amount of time with Josh and Evangeline (only three minutes) whoring out my son, Luca, for an arranged marriage with Josh's adorable baby girl, Java. (They were born only four days apart, and I want my future Christmases to be spent with the Holloways, so sue me!)

But you should know, this baby Q was after the publicist had already cut off the interview, so it was all simply an evil ploy to keep Evangeline and Josh in their chairs just a moment longer.

If you were that close to those dimples, you'd do it to.

Love,

Jack Shephard's biggest fan, who as usual remains completely unbiased and professional in all reporting on Lost

Personal Quotes
I'm very picky when it comes to men. I come across a man who I'm really attracted to about once every five years.

I love being outside - that's where I'm the happiest.

I feel like I'm in boot camp. On Lost - my first year was baptism by fire. I just was thrown in. And I had no idea what I was doing, not just on set, and not just as an actor, but as a public figure. I had no idea what I was doing. I had no idea how to cope with it, and what the best ways were to manage it. I'm constantly learning that and therefore, in learning it, I knew I didn't want to - one of the first things I knew was, I don't want to have this beast become so big and uncontrollable that I am swallowed up by it.

To put it simply - you know, a lot of people believe that the benefit of this job is fame and fortune. I believe that you pay for the fortune through the fame. I don't buy into the notion that being famous is somehow a good thing, or an exciting thing, or a wonderful thing. I think it's more cumbersome and more of a hindrance to your life than it is the other. But the fortune is fantastic. I'll take it, and I have no complaints. But it's not - you know, I didn't become an actress because I wanted to be famous. I didn't become an actress because this is the ultimate career goal of my life. I became an actress by accident. I was doing a psychological exercise with myself, challenging myself, by going to auditions. I had no idea that it would connect to a job. I had no intention for it to connect to a job. I was doing it as an exercise. So when I got a job, I, in that moment, had to sit down and go, "Do I want to be an actor?"

Even if you're unhappy, just pretend that you're happy. Eventually, your smile will be contagious to yourself. I had to learn that, I used to think, 'I'm being fake,' but you know what? Better to be fake and happy than real and miserable. - on her mindset

Should 'Lost''s Kate just die and put us out of our misery?

(Disclaimer: The opinions stated in this article do not necessarily represent the views held by Room 23)

Lost girl Kate Austen (Evangeline Lilly) throws a come-hither, hey-big-boy-wanna-get-shipwrecked-on-a-desert-island look our way.

By Kimberly Chun

Spoiler alert for all those still sitting on the Lost finale that aired May 13 - because I love all those noisy Facebook friends that (plane-)wreck season closers for me on a regular basis.

The latest came from sometime-Guardian contributor Oliver Wang, weighing in on Lost's fifth season end-game. "Last night's Lost had some good aspects," he opined on Facebook. "The introduction of Jacob was interesting, as well as a new twist on John Locke, but Jack and Juliet's justifications for setting off the h-bomb were some of the stupidest things I've ever heard on the show." In the comments, he continued: "I should also add, the show would be so much better if Kate died. Ya'll know I speak the truth." One mob-rules comment: "Kill Kate!!!!"

I kind of have to agree with Wang and the Kate haters. How's that for waffling - and doesn't the Kate character deserves a flip-flop or two after five seasons of footloose and fancy-free Jack-or-Sawyer-or-Jack-or-Sawyer, stepfather-murdering-but-psycho-Ben-saving waffling on her part. For a character that can behind nearly anything in the name of rescue, loyalty to friends or lovers, and island community, Kate got strangely sanctimonious when it came to setting off the nuke (an act that meant trusting the calculations of physicist Daniel Faraday, played compellingly by Jeremy Davies (it helps), who determined that the '70s-bound returnees had to set off a long-buried hydrogen bomb in order to prevent the construction of the Swan station, which would later cause the crash of Oceanic Flight 815).

Kate has an ulterior motive, of course: she wouldn't want to go back in time and stop the plane crash because that would mean she'd be back in cuffs heading to LA lockup, just as she had been before Flight 815 hit its enchanted isle (a.k.a. Hawaii). Setting off the bomb would also mean she would never meet Jack and Sawyer (another no-nuker who wants to hide out, too, stuck in the '70s - yes, the plot twist might be as weirdly anti-hippie as it sounds), her two off-and-on island romances.

And frankly Jack's justification - i.e., he blew it with Kate - for setting off the bomb in order to turn back time (cue Cher, back in black Mackie) is pretty weak. The guy has been effectively ignoring Kate during their entire time back on the '70s-era island, and so it makes close to zero sense that he tells Sawyer that he wants to blow the island up because he can't have her. Yep, it sounds like a soap opera, like the stuff of a lovelorn, murder-suicide-minded unibomber - and about as believable.

Everyone knows - but few will own to it - that Lost's romantic storylines are the lamest, most obviously manipulative, and irksomely sentimental part of the series. The exception might be the older, now-hideaway interracial couple Rose and Bernard, who also reappeared in the last episode. And, honestly, after studying the regularity with which the writers like to off love interests and their respective plotlines (the star-crossed romance involving Ben's daughter was the most threadbare of the lot), I'm a little surprised Kate hasn't died sooner. Who knows - if some nonfans of this spunky, complex, and at times infuriating character have their way, maybe Kate's time will come this fall.

DarkUFO: Some Snippets from Carlton

Posted by DarkUFO at 5/06/2009 06:25:00 PM

Thanks to DarkUFO reader evin_d for the following snippets from Carlton Cuse at last nights airing of Tonights Episode.


A few other things Carlton stated last night:

1: What appears to be Faraday's voice in the old Dharma video (with the chaos and Chang in the 70's sweats) is now deemed a continuity error.

2. Kate saving Ben's life was course correction (please note he said this while in discussion of something else)

3. we should be hearing from Bernard and Rose soon (he sounded as if it was in this week episode, but wasn't)

4. He now understands the rivalry b/w OSU and Michigan- located Ann Arbor where the DI began due to the response from students.
5. Funny moment- A student stated there was a glitch in the S in the opening LOST Banner and wants CC to fix it (CC agreed to look at it). As the show started and the banner flashed, the audience roared.

Nice guy- signed autographs, gave hugs, took pics, and had some sweet Nike Air Max's...

Sawyer is large and in charge as 'Lost' hits 100

Back in season one of ABC's Wednesday castaway drama ``Lost,'' James Sawyer, played by Josh Holloway with a stubbly dimple and a wink, was a charming Southern rogue, an avaricious con man with a store of goodies up for barter, a quick wit and an inexplicable fondness for U.K. writer Richard Adams' heroic fantasy ``Watership Down.''

He was also a constant irritant to the show's most apparently noble character, Dr. Jack Shepard (Matthew Fox), the self-appointed leader of present-day plane-crash survivors stranded on a very freaky island. Sawyer both cramped Jack's style and moved in on his girl, castaway Kate (Evangeline Lilly).

To one degree or another, that has been Sawyer's story.

But as ``Lost'' approaches its 100th episode on April 29 -- marked on the sets in Hawaii with a party and an island-shaped confection from Baltimore's Charm City Cakes -- Sawyer's fortunes have changed.

Like Hazel, a small rabbit in Adams' novel who only wanted to survive and wound up a king by his own hand, er, paw, Sawyer in season five has become a leader of men (yeah, it's under the less-than-heroic alias of Jim LaFleur, but even so ...).

And no one is more surprised by that than Holloway.

``I was a bit reluctant when hearing it,'' he says. ``I knew they would figure out a way to make it cool, but I never thought of Sawyer in that kind of a position, or James or whatever his damn name is these days.

``I didn't want him to become this softy who lost his edge and all that sort of thing. That won't be near as fun. But it has been fun. It's the evolution of a character, and I'm really honored that they've actually made him so interesting and complex instead of just a simple redneck.''

Also, during Sawyer's current sojourn way back to the 1970s as part of the enigmatic Dharma Initiative on the mysterious island, he has set aside his feelings for Kate and taken up with a fellow time-travel refugee, physician Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell), another of Jack's ex-squeezes.

As to why Sawyer seems to pick up all of Jack's throwaways, Holloway says, ``Hey, man, I ain't so picky. There's not that many women on the island. Come on, women or boars -- what would you pick?

``He's always been kind of wham-bam, crazy-sex guy, and to explore an actual relationship where it's not that, it's actually a mature, loving relationship, is something that's totally new to him.''

Among those crafting this new direction is producer Elizabeth Sarnoff (``Deadwood,'' ``Crossing Jordan''), who says, ``Sawyer's great because he's come so far. This season, we're getting to do something unexpected with him. He's emerging as a leader.

``He's a good leader, unlike every other leader we've had. He's awesome. The relationship with Juliet is something that we weren't 100 percent sure how the audience was going to take it.''

Of course, what has made all this possible is a season's worth of mind-bending time travel, with castaways like Sawyer and Dharma apostates like Juliet flipping back and forth in time as the island undergoes spatial and temporal displacement that nearly defies the laws of science.

But in the 100th episode, ``The Variable,'' physicist and fellow island time traveler Daniel Faraday, played by Jeremy Davies, might finally spill all that he knows -- and it wouldn't come a moment too soon for the writing team.

``Time travel has given us migraines all year,'' Sarnoff says. ``No one is more delighted to see it end than us. But it's given us an opportunity to tell all these great island stories that we could not have told, that would have had to be handled with exposition or in ways that were not as interesting as actually seeing the Dharma Initiative in action.''

As for what Sawyer's up to in ``The Variable,'' Holloway says, ``I do remember what I was doing. Um, ah, I was frustrated -- I can tell you that much. Things are heating up and unraveling.

``That episode, I'm definitely running around a little frustrated, but it was good. I can't really tell you anything else.''

Sarnoff says, ``It's special for this season in the sense that it is going to encapsulate everything we've been saying all along, having to deal with time travel in general. It's going to be a great launch place for the end of the season.''

That episode, ``The Incident,'' is currently set to air May 13. It sets the stage for season six, which culminates in the planned series finale in May 2010.

``The end of the season is huge,'' Sarnoff says. ``It's the beginning of the end. We do this minicamp every year where we talk about the new season, dig deep. I find myself amazed every day, because I'm on a show that's planning its ending.

``That's a very rare experience.''

Pilot Poll

Originally Jack was supposed to die and Kate was suppoed to be a soccor Mom whose husband died in the crash. While I like Jack a lot I personally feel that might have been interesting to have seen where it would have gone. I think that Darlton would have done well that way also. But Im glad with what they choose.


Would the show be as good if Jack had died and Kate was the leader?
