From I_am_always_lost: How does it feel to be the executive producer of the Emmy Award-winning Lost? Congrats!
From Damon: Very, very trippy and very surreal! It doesn't feel like it's actually happened. You know, we all came back to work today, and we're sort of slogging away on season two and trying to make it great. But it was a phenomenal night and incredibly unexpected, considering it was the first season of the show, and it's so outside the box. We never really imagined we'd get nominated, let alone win.
From Stacey: Yay! Wahooo! Lost won! Does each castmember get a trophy?
First of all, Stacey, Wahooo back. [Laughs.] We wish they could, but I think the way it works is the trophies go to just the nominated producers. So, I'm gonna put mine on a time-share, and like the gnomes in Amélie, I'm gonna send it down there [to Hawaii], and people can take pictures with it and all that.
From tvjunkie1577: What's coming up this season on Lost? I'm so looking forward to Wednesday!
Wow, what a broad question. Lots of things. You know, first and foremost, we're going into the hatch right out of the gate, first thing in the premiere. Then, equally exciting, if not more exciting, we'll start to see what happens with our brave souls who went out on the raft and how they are going to get back to the island, which takes not one or two episodes but, in fact, eight.
From Yolanda: I heard Katey Sagal is going to guest star on Lost? Is this true?
It is true, 100 percent. [It's for] at least one episode, but hopefully more. We'll see. She plays an iconic character in the mythology of one of the other character's stories.
From Kristin: Are you a Katey Sagal fan?
I am. I loved Married...with Children, obviously, when I was much younger, but I also think that just as a dramatic actor, she's really good. She's one of those actresses whom you know primarily from sitcom, but then you look at her tape, and she has all these amazing dramatic roles. She pops up on all these shows like The Shield and all that, and you go Wow! She's amazing.
From Jjabramsfan: Did you see that New York Times Fashion Section had a pic of Shannon Elizabeth with the caption "Shannon Elizabeth of Lost." What's up with that? Is she joining the cast?
I did not see that and, wow, that is very surprising to me. I was not aware that she had joined the cast. This is nothing against Shannon Elizabeth. I'm sure she's lovely. I just, uh, if she somehow managed to get herself onto the cast, nobody told me.
From Kristin: Maybe she's one of those people in the background and you just haven't met her yet.
That's possible, yah. Shannon Elizabeth could be sort of hanging out in the background with Scott and Steve, maintaining the golf course. She's been caddying for Jin. I should give her a call. That's a good idea.
From Jennifer Nguyen: Are you going to start incorporating flashback scenes of the characters from the back of the plane?
At least one of them. We're only sort of stating on the record, for sure, that Michelle Rodriguez was in the back of the plane, but we haven't gone on record saying we're meeting any other survivors, if there were any other survivors from the back of the plane. But I think the show is sort of built around the idea of meeting somebody, making sort of a snap judgment about them and then gradually exploring their lives before the crash to get a better sense of who they are and what drives them, and I think every character we meet on the show will eventually get a flashback...unless they blow up first, in which case, we never get around to it.
From Gia: Will Hurley get a love interest this season?
It's definitely something we've thought a lot about and nothing that we wanna force. I think one of the things we try to do on the show, as writers, is watch character dynamics develop. There are a couple women characters we're introducing on the island over the course of the season who we do not know who they're going to end up with. Even Claire and Charlie was a big surprise for us last year, the way that developed. So, hopefully, we can have the same thing happen with Hurley this year.
From Kristin: Did you hear that there's some Website that's completely and totally devoted to getting Hurley a girlfriend?
Is that your Website?
From Kristin: No, it's not!
It is. You're playing all coy like, "Did you know that there is this, like, awesome Website?" [Laughs.] I had not heard that, but if you send me the link, I will definitely check it out.
From flyq: Kate and Jack have been on the island for almost months. When are they going to get together? Why keep them apart?
The original plan in season one was to definitely get them together, but then all of these sort of interesting things started happening with the triangle and with Sawyer, and we realized that in the immediate aftermath of the crash, Kate and Sawyer would be much more inclined to gravitate toward each other because they were sort of cut from the same cloth. But then the more time spent on the island, the more Jack would sort of represent to Kate what she would want--stability and comfort and a real adult love, as opposed to that kind of lusty, frothy, "make out in the middle of a torture session" kind of thing. So, we're definitely moving forward this year, and we're going to be doing a lot of stuff with the triangle, but there's a new component coming into it, and that's Michelle Rodriguez, who we've already seen have some chemistry with Jack, so it'll be very interesting to see how Kate reacts to her arrival into their society.
From Jim: Are you upset that many people have leaked the entire episode-one, season-two story over Internet chat rooms? Will this affect any further "previews premieres" you might choose to do?
We're not upset by it. It's something that ABC really wanted to do. We had concerns that something like this would happen, but at the same time, we also wanted to give an opportunity to the real fans of the show to see it a week early, and as long as those Websites are clearly posting the spoiler warnings and you don't find out unless you really wanna find out, that's fine. Hopefully, even when people read the spoiler of what is in the hatch, they'll still wanna watch the episode. These decisions about early screenings aren't made, unfortunately, by us, the producers. They're made by the network and the studio, and they're all geared toward [not only] giving the fans an early look, but also generating publicity and heat around the show. And their belief was that the episode was gonna hook people in, so that's why they showed it. Personally, I don't wanna know what happens in the first episode! There just better not be another hatch in there! That'd be crappy!
From Jennifer Nguyen: Who gets to take the credit (or blame) for what's in the hatch?
[Laughs.] I'd like to wait to see if everybody loves it before I go on record answering that! Deciding what was in the hatch is something that did generate out of the writer's room. I don't wanna specifically say who's idea it was or wasn't. I will say this: Carlton [Cuse] and I take full responsibility for what is in the hatch, but again, it takes a couple episodes to kind of fully reveal itself. You immediately find out what's in there in the first episode, but then that creates a lot of questions, a significant amount of which are answered a couple episodes later.
From D: Congratulations on the Emmy last night--much deserved. Do you have any other shows in the works, or are you focusing on Lost for now?
I'm keeping it all about Lost right now. We're doing 23 this year. We did 25 last year. Right now, it's Monday. A week from this Wednesday, there will be a script for an episode that we haven't even talked about yet. That is the pace of episodic television. I wish I could do what a lot of other show runners do, sort of multitasking and setting up other shows and all that, but this show is just too consuming, so my one pet project this year is I'm gonna write a comic book for Marvel, which'll be fun, but I would not have time to invest myself in an entirely different TV show. And also, I love this show. I wake up in the middle of the night thinking about it. We're talking about doing a Saturday-morning spinoff, though, called Locke and the Monster. [It would be] an animated show, and Locke rides around on the monster's shoulders, and they solve crimes and that sort of stuff.
From abfabi: How did you guys celebrate last night? Did anyone Donald Duck it?
There was a whole lotta Donald Ducking going on! Let me tell ya. And some Mickey Mousing, too, which is when you put on the red short pants and you take your shirt off and you talk in a high-pitched voice, but that happened much later. Yah, one of the downsides of having 25 people in the celebration party is we all sort of got split up after the awards. Packs of them went to different parties. I went to the TV Guide party where Missy Elliott performed. She was awesome. Jorge was there, and I ran into Ian. Maggie was there. Foxy and Josh were there. Everybody was rolling between that party and a couple other parties. I would like to say that I have a vivid recollection of the events, but I think that I had a couple cocktails. It still hasn't entirely sunk in what happened. I was in a daze. And I wanna say for all you fans, thank you. I'm such a fan of you guys, on the boards, and I am preparing myself for what you think of what's in the hatch.
From newfgirls: Any other Lost scoops that D.L. didn't spill?
From Kristin: Just heard they changed the second episode from Sawyer-centric to Michael-centric at the last minute, and I'll be chatting with Harold Perrineau about that tomorrow. (Q's?) Also, on the island, there are others (and Others) and they might not get along. Shocking stuff going on there!
