LOST Spoilers - The ODI

Earlier this week we made a post about Mira Furlan returning as Rousseau and we were unsure if this was true because there was no news about it else where, but it seems like according to Ausiello at least we will see Rousseau:

Question: Is it true that Rousseau is returning to Lost? —Jaime
Ausiello: Oui.

Source: EW

Ok so we know almost all of the previous characters have been confirmed as retuning but with us getting close the finale it is interesting to see this tidbit.

Not sure if this is true or where this information originated from, but apparently Mira Furlan will be returning as Rousseau.

Roger Friedman from Showbiz411 reported that recurring actors Henry Ian Cusick, Sonya Walger, Alan Dale and Mira Furlan are tapped to reprise their roles of Desmond, Penny, Charles and Rousseau respectively in the sixth season.

Here is the latest tidbit from EW's Ausiello about the return of Claire but he also confirms who is NOT returning.

Earlier this week there was a big debate about one character not returning for Season 6 and it seems like Mira Furlan aka Rousseau has turned down the request to return.

Instead we get maybe badass Claire!?

Here are the details:

Question: Is Emilie de Ravin going to be back in Lost for the whole season or just a few episodes? And will we get to see what happened to her? —Jared

Ausiello: The answer to both of your questions is a resounding yeppers. Better prepare yourself though. My Lost mole says season 6 will showcase “a version of Claire we’ve never seen before — a Rousseau-esque version.” We’ll be in need of a Rousseau fix since the real version will be MIA. According to a Lost insider, the French Lady’s portrayer, Mira Furlan, turned down the show’s request to return for the final season due to a “prior overseas commitment.” Anyone know how you say “big bag-o-nuts” in français?

Hey All,
Over the weekend, LA Times had a feature on LOST and spoke to Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse who revealed some new spoilers for Season 5. They confirmed many things inlcuding we will see Rousseau, Jin, Alpert and Christian again.

Here is the article:

This season, the flashbacks and flashforwards will still exist, but another storytelling approach will dominate. And in classic "Lost" tradition, the producers won't explain what they're doing ahead of time.

"We're really happy with the scripts that we're writing, but at the same time, there's this complete sense of fear and second-guessing in terms of whether or not the audience is going to groove on what we're doing," co-creator and executive producer Damon Lindelof said. "The show is taking on a new model in terms of the way we tell stories and finding a balance between what's happening off the island and on the island. Are the characters having an emotional experience no matter how crazy it is? That's the part we're focused on."

The first seven episodes will focus on the aftermath of Ben's (Michael Emerson) pronouncement to Jack ( Matthew Fox) in the last scene of last season that the Oceanic 6 must all return to the island, including Locke (Terry O'Quinn), who has died. Jack's challenge is to enlist the rescued castaways to go back, but that will prove tricky since he and Kate (Evangeline Lily) have broken up; Sayid (Naveen Andrews) is trotting the globe, killing people for Ben with Hurley (Jorge Garcia) in his custody; and Sun (Yunjin Kim) has gone rogue.

Viewers also will see what's happened to Penny (Sonya Walger) and Desmond (Henry Ian Cusick) after she rescued him and learn how Locke left the island and later died. The story of Walt (Malcolm David Kelley), who left the island two seasons ago, will continue, though his father, Michael (Harold Perrineau), died attempting to return to the island in the season finale. Sawyer (Josh Holloway), Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) and Charlotte (Rebecca Mader) survive on the island.

"The conventional thinking might be that we're going to spend the entire season telling the story of how and if these charcters are able to make it back to the island," Lindelof said. "That's not what we're doing. Not by any stretch of the imagination."

Since death on "Lost" is a relative term, as Cuse likes to say, fans can expect to see more of Jin ( Daniel Dae Kim) whether he survived the freighter explosion or not; the mysterious Christian Shephard (John Terry), whose death caused his son, Jack, to be on the doomed airliner; and Rousseau (Mira Furlan), who was shot to death. The ageless Richard Alpert (Nestor Carbonell) will pop up again. Although fans do not know what happened to Claire (Emilie de Ravin) -- the actress does not have a regular role this season, mind you -- she will appear during the season.

For that matter, so will Vincent the dog, the only character the producers have committed to keeping alive for the entire run of the series.

Hey All,

Here is the latest casting call for LOST Episode 5x04. This one is for two minor characters aka Guest Stars. There are a couple of noteworthy points, the first is that both need to speak French!! Perhaps a connection to Danielle??

Also the character of Vincent, is a Tunisian bar owner!! We all know what was found in Tunisia, the Dharma Polar Bear Skeleton!! So, Tunisia, French, Dharma and Danielle, could make for an interesting mix if that is how it all plays out!!

Thanks to our good friend DarkUFO for the casting call!!

The Shoot dates for Episode 5.04 are 20th September through to 5th October.

[VINCENT]
Early to mid 30s, Caucasian. Owner of a Tunisian bar. Smug and smart, knows he's better than most of his colleagues but has a short temper. Thinks he's a tough guy and gets himself into trouble because of it. MUST SPEAK FRENCH... Guest star.

[ LEON ]
Mid to late 20s, Caucasian. Reserved, handsome and talented. A romantic at heart, he finds himself overwhelmed in a stressful job and at odds with a realist. MUST SPEAK FRENCH.. Guest Star.

Hey All,
The most recent TV Guide confirmed some of the previous LOST Season 5 spoilers we have received from Comic Con and some of the recent filming updates.

At Comic con the LOST producers promised that we will finally get to see some of Danielle's past to when she arrived on the island and the recent filming updates have provided us with several tidbits and set photos of Sayid and Hurley working together.

Here is the scan that confirms these details.

Thanks to Susan@DarkUFO

Here is the audio for the latest ABC podcast with Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof, which is actually the edited audio of the LOST panel from Comic Con.

If you have some how missed the videos and recaps here is the audio.

It was great to listen to them again and it is just too funny.

Once again thanks to Bo who asks the first question during the Q&A for the shout out to Team ODI!

Enjoy.

Thanks to DarkUFO for the heads up.

Kind of interesting that there are people out there that would admit they are too lazy to actually use Google or visit fansites to read the Comic Con reports that have already been posted.

Well here is a good summary of spoilers for Season 5 from BOTH the EW Panel and LOST panels.

You can watch the EW Panel here and read the live report for the LOST panel here

OR

Just read this little recap:

Question: I didn't attend Comic-Con and I'm too lazy to scour the web looking for a transcript of the Lost panel, so whaddaya say you save me the trouble and give me a quick rundown of the major Lost spoilers that Team Darlton revealed? — Nicole

Ausiello: Unfortunately, I'm even lazier than you, so I wouldn't touch that assignment with a 10-foot pole. I would, however, email EW's Doc Jensen (who moderated said Lost panel) and kindly ask him to do it for both of us. Below are what he considers to be the major takeaways, bullet-pointed for your convenience.

• Richard Alpert will figure prominently in Season 5.
• The whole notion of "flashbacks" and "flash-forwards" will be reinvented, suggesting that upcoming episodes will span multiple time periods and perspectives.
• Jin will be back, but there's no word if he's dead or alive.
• It was strongly suggested that Faraday survived.
• Faraday's notebook will play a prominent role this season.
• We'll finally get Rousseau's back-story, but Darlton cautioned that it would be wrong to call it a "flashback" episode.

Kristin from E! Online interviewed Michael Emerson to ask him his thoughts for the rest of the season.

Here are the details that contains some minor spoilers:

In case you weren't paying attention last night, Michael Emerson, our beloved Benry, turned in an astonishing performance that was earning Emmy buzz before it even aired, and as far as I'm concerned, no one has ever done better work humanizing a supervillain.

I just rang up Michael to get his take on Lost's big game, Ben's current state of mind after the brutal death of [sobbing drowns out spoiler], and, oh yeah, his brilliant explanation of the monster's mechanics. Click in for the goods.
Tania Raymonde, Lost

FAMILY AND UPPING THE ANTE

What's going on internally for Ben in that minute after Alex has been shot dead?
Well, Ben is in a state of shock. Ben doesn't usually...Ben plays a game where a variety of outcomes are to be expected, but nothing outside the table of contents. In this case, something happened. Ben took what he thought was a safe risk, and it turned out to be a terrible risk. Someone else didn't play fair, so it's about as big a shock as Ben as ever had in his life.

Jumping to the end of episode then, Charles Widmore says, I didn't kill your daughter, you did. How much does Ben feel culpable in her death?
Ben is a guy who doesn't take things lightly, and I think he has a long memory. When Charles Widmore says that it's Ben's fault—that's a kind of sophistry on his part. He's suggesting that everything Ben has ever done has led up to this moment, the idea that who we are makes us guilty across the board. But Ben's not having that explanation.

I think Ben knows that his daughter died for a very particular reason, and that Charles Widmore is the guilty one. Whatever is going on between Ben and Charles Widmore, the ante just got raised about tenfold.

In the next episode there's a scene where it looks like Sawyer might get the chance to kill Keamy, who killed Alex. Is that the kind of thing that Ben would want to do personally, or is Ben more of a big-picture thinker, just gunning for Charles?
I think Ben is in a state of bloody-mindedness right now. I think he would like to personally pull the trigger on everyone connected. And we'll see whether he has that opportunity.
Mira Furlan, Lost

Interesting. Do you expect to see Danielle and Alex again, hopefully, in one capacity or another? And what has it been like working with Tania Raymonde and Mira Furlan?
I love both these actresses, and it feels like when a dear coworker moves on to somewhere, you feel sad and lonesome...and you realize how much you've personally got invested in these fictional relationships. You know how nobody is ever fully dead on Lost, so...I don't expect that we've seen the last of them. But maybe we've seen the last of them in their fleshly state.

So Danielle doesn't pop up in the next episode with just a minor flesh wound and come after Ben or anything?
I don't—I don't think that's gonna happen...

Speaking of Danielle, I was hoping she would eventually get to kill Ben.
[Laughs.] What a strange wish on your part.
Lost, Elizabeth Mitchell

THE LADY JULIET

Well, I say this with the utmost respect and love for the character, but Ben's an unkillable cockroach, and yet you would have to imagine someone eventually gets him. Juliet, perhaps?
Well, Juliet is certainly a dangerous character. I think more dangerous than we know at this point, and certainly there are issues between Juliet and Ben that have yet to be resolved. But you know, Ben's...his whole existence may end up being redeemed by the gravity and necessity of his mission.

Speaking of Juliet, that whole "You're mine!" opened so many more questions of what does he want from her. And then...I'm pretty sure Elizabeth Mitchell is like a foot taller than you, does that ever come into play when you guys are shooting scenes together?
[Laughs.] Yes, I have to say, that was not one of Ben's prettier moments, there at the place where Goodwin met his demise.

You know, when Ben gets outside his comfort zone, like many men who are geniuses or men of sophistication, there is some part of him, to compensate, that has been undeveloped. I think Ben is maybe socially or emotionally somewhat underdeveloped.

So sometimes, when he's stressed, he behaves like a teenager. Sort of. To me. So he says things bitterly...I think he possibly regrets them later, but he does behave impulsively sometimes. For this character who is supposed to be so calculated and such a chess player, he really does behave impulsively upon occasion.

Does he want to marry Juliet so she can have a million of his babies?
I don't think he even has a clear picture what he wants. That he wants is all he knows. She is a prize in his mind. Who knows what his sex life is, or ever would be? But somehow he's decided that she is to be his.

MYTHS AND MONSTERS
Alan Dale, Ugly Betty

Do you almost feel like after that conversation with Charles we suddenly learned that Ben is the hero of the show, even though we didn't know he existed for the first season or two?
It feels like some kind of shift along those lines is happening, doesn't it? Because each season, it's like the lens of the show steps back a notch and shows the playing field of the show to be a larger one that we had thought at first.

I think this battle between Charles Widmore and Benjamin Linus, whatever it is, whatever the stakes are, whatever the game is, I think that's now big. That's a big, important thing.

And I think, I don't know if it's just from familiarity or instinct, but I think we like Ben Linus better than we like Charles Widmore. I think Charles Widmore is a more wicked man.

Partly just because Charles is really mean to Desmond, whereas Ben has always been very courtly and gentlemanly. He'll beat you to death, but he'll say thank you when he's done or something.
Yes. [Laughs.] That's right. Manners count, don't they? Come on!

OK I have some fan questions, if you don't mind. Harry asks: "Is Ben the monster's boss? Is Ben able to just take the monster out of his cage?" What's your sense of that whole thing?
Ben is privy to the secret mechanics of everything on the Island, so yes, he can sic the smoke monster—smoke's not the right word, but he can sic that thing on someone. But we don't yet know the recipe or the formula for how that's done, and we don't know what it costs. There seem to be a lot of forces on the Island, but nothing is for free. A toll is paid every time the machinery works. Everything is bargained.

Tom asks, "Did you have any sense that between the time Ben disappeared into the tunnel, and came back sooty later, that he was essentially in a time bubble where he worked out that Sayid would help him take down Charles Widmore, or do you think that was genuinely in the future?"
I had it in my head that those things were genuinely in the future. But the passage of time is being perceived differently by different people. I thought that period of time when he went down the tunnel to enable the smoke monster and emerged sooty, I thought that was just enough time for him to take care of that, physically, by himself.

I think it all has something to do with metallic dust. I think the smoke monster is connected to that ring of powder that surrounds Jacob's cabin. They've established that there are supermagnetic forces are at work on the Island, so what better medium for those forces to work through than through fine filings of metal?

Would you like join the Lost fandom? Because you would be really good at it.
We who work on the show—we're all Losties, too! We're all theorizing and trying to put the pieces together. It must tickle the writers to see us trying to work these things out!

OK, last question. Mark from Dundee, Scotland: "Where do you think Ben stands on a scale of one to 10 where one is Hurley, totally good; five is Locke, good but willing to do bad things to achieve his ends; and 10 is Charles Widmore, evil?"
I think Ben is not bound by your scale.

Once again thanks to our good friend DarkUFO for the heads up about the Official ABC LOST Podcast for next week's episode (4x09) just a little early. :)

Hey Losties,
Today was the official ABC Teleconfrence call with LOST Producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse and I was one of the lucky few who had an opportunity to listen in.

It was a great experience to listen to the producers again and you can truly get a sense of their passion and love for the show.


Here are my notes from the call:

NOTE: I did my best to write as much down as possible and note where the question came from. Also this is just a summary and I put quotes around the actual words the producers used. Also, for those that do not want to read the whole thing I will post a little summary of the spoilers soon.

They start off with confirming the remaining schedule with the extra hour being added and part 2 of finale moving to May 29th - They confirmed that the finale breaks down as follows"

May 15th Season finale Part 1 - No Place Like Home Part 1
May 29th Season Finale Part 2 (2hours) - No Place Like Home Part 2

TV Guide:
Why the push for 2 Hr Finale? Because of story or things you wanted to do?

Little bit of both we thought of Season 1 Exodus and felt that the emotional and "epic" story telling needed the extra time. Plus we had an 8 hour story planned and to have it crammed to 5 was tough. So we felt it would be a little rushed and we needed and wanted the extra time to do it right. They also talked about the initial script being like 80 pages and they wanted to make it 100 hundred but had to be cut to 50.

O6 - Will any fates of the non 06 members be sealed via death before the end of the season - We teased with Shannon and it was spoiled, so we really do not want to say too much. However, large and "seismic" events will happen for all the Losties before the end of season with some fates clear while others will not be as clear

NY Post: The show ends in 2010 how do you figure out this whole process to reach that point? Do you know the last scene or line??

YES last scene has been determined, but say they do have some wiggle room with last line but have been working towards it. They talk about having two pieces of the bread of a sandwich and that they working on the insides of sandwich and want to know how much mayo they need to use and then of course they laugh.

Will the FF/FBs ever end or blur? - They view the show as a "mosaic" it is possible that what is past, future or present could change. All depends on the Point Of View of telling the story. No hard rules just approach it all with a certain narrative and figure out best story to fit it.

AP:
How many people know how the show will end?? Any family members/friends trying to get secrets?

Can count it on our hands - not many. They joke about telling Dick Cheney. LOL

Wives and significant others do not want to be spoiled. Cuse said something about his wife always saying "shhhsh".

Following Grey's Anatomy -Do you think those viewers will tune in? - Thur night is best night to watch and happy to be there and can't complain about being behind such a big hit.

Niagra Pub:

Finales are always historic, what add pressure you have...?

It is hard and we are not trying to employ smoke and mirrors each season is like a book and last chapter is most exciting

Question about Locke being key component of show: Jack and Locke are two significant opposite poles of the show. Conflict is the central conflict of show the show and we continue to explore it this season with it culminating in season finale.

Will we see Emilie de Ravin next season...!? No Comment but there are very "compelling events" before season finale

Philo/Sci Theories - Lindelof confirms that his Philo 101 class proved to be bountiful for show because he learned all about Locke and Rousseau from that class. Cuse confirmed that America History degree from Harvard was key and that it is amazing what they have read has played into the show so much.

New Journal - You seem to listen an pay attention to fans and then "course correct"?

They say that they are big fans of TV so they are able to react based on fans reactions because they understand what they think. Also say that they have the same tastes as fans.

34 Episodes left after this season

Confirm that season finale is written and in the process of revising

We will see more of Jeff Fahey (Lapidus) and deferred some of Fahey's scenes until next season

Enhanced Episodes - Cliff notes for the show, if you are a show expert then it is below you, but they are mainly for casual fans that do not spend time digging into everything

Love triangle: Saywer is not part of O6 but Jack and Kate are which will ultimately will decide Sawyer's fate. Skaters and Jaters will have many romantic scenes to be happy about

jacket will be revisited in epi 10

Jon from UGO - Any plan for after season for online?

Beginning discussions about it. They loved Find815 and hope to do similar type of prolouge to lead into S5

Discussing what to do with ComicCon - Orchid will pay off in "big way" in finale this year.

Two hour finale - What are you planning to do with extra time? A little more stuff with freighter folk will be incorporated make things more "fluid", plus a few other things.

Use of music in storytelling is important and they are picky about using music because characters are actually "listening" to it instead of it being played over the show. Nirvana song was "haunting" to focus on Jack's character in S3 finale

Second half of season is the "payoff" of the first half setup. Still a lot of missing pieces from S3 finale to now plus we have to move forward from there as well.

What suprised you most this season...!?

How much we liked the Freighter folk....we really liked our casting and they have worked well with what we pictured and visioned. Unfortunate we haven't had enough time to explore that.

S5 planned for last week of Jan

Des/Pen impact on you and fans will we get more? Yes, we intro Penny in S2 finale and it was certainly our intention to make it one of the central and "epic" love stories. We know some of the best episodes have been because of Des/Pen relationship.

We will return to it but Sonya Walgner is in high demand in her current show on HBO, but we will use her again when she is available.

Widmore - We will see more of him and sooner than we think. Plays a bigger part of the narrative of the story.

"Game Changer" fb/ff?? There might come a time where the word "flash" will not be relevant based on what has been happening and it depends on the point of view of the story. For example now we are off island and question is will that become present time...!? Trying to keep us on our toes

Next season time slots - Depend on what happens with these next 5 episodes after being after Grey's Anatomy so no one knows

Smokey in episode 4x09

We will get a "healthy dose" of Jacob before the end of the season.

4-Toed Statue will return - Clarify about the "weird" comment actually saying that the story posted was INCORRECT. That the confusion with 4-toed statue happened because we were talking in a general about a pre-draft script with ABC before the season and there was a little debate of 6-Toe v 4-Toe.

No comment about if there were recent filming scenes in London.

The end of the series is the END not planning on leaving it open ended. Reference Harry Potter and JK Rowling again.

Said that they are very good friends and get along great...!!

No comment about "frozen donkey wheel" The secret codes start as inside jokes

Danielle and Karl fate decided in Episode 4x09 - They were shot with bullets.

Sometimes being dead means more work so if Danielle is dead don't worry because her backstory is very interesting and they would love to tell it at some point

They do NOT regret picking an end date and they lobbied for it since Season 1 and it is what they always wanted to do.

Thanks for reading and I will try to update and edit because of typos or anything I missed.

Here are the latest spoilers for Season 4 of LOST.

Producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse provided TV Guide with several new details and what we should expect for the remainder of Season 4.

A bunch of great news, so here is the rundown of the spoilers in the article:

1) We will learn "exactly" what happened to Michael between leaving the island and him getting to NYC.

2) Michael is a "pivotal" part of the end of the season and he will have an "impact" on many of the characters, including Sayid.

3) We will see how the Oceanic 6 "escaped the island" and what happens to those that don't leave.

4) The Team Locke v Team Jack debate about who is right will "amplify"

5) We will learn who is in the coffin

6) More about the freighter people

7) We will also find out who "seemingly killed" Karl and Rousseau

Thanks to Lyly for the scan:

(Click to Enlarge)


Here are some additional scans thanks to our good friend Sawyer840:

Blake Bashoff who plays Karl on LOST had a post-death interview with Kristin from E!Online.

Where he mentions some minor spoilers and confirmed that:
1) He "thinks" Karl is dead
2) He mentions that there is a deleted scene from the end of the episode that clearly showed the snipers in "camouflage uniforms"
3) Producers told him that they "We hope to have you back in some capacity"
4) That he has a "sense" we have not seen the last of Rousseau

Here is the rest of the interview:

Thanks to Lyly for the heads up.

Blake Bashoff was kind enough to speak with me this morning about the death of Lost's Karl. He shared a little dish about a deleted shot from the final scene, his gut feeling about the fate of Rousseau, and who might be pulling the strings—or at least the trigger.

Are you really dead?
I think I'm pretty much shot dead.

How did this come about?
The timing just sort of worked out. I booked this Broadway show, Spring Awakening, that was going to take me away for at least six months. We called Carlton and Damon and gave them the heads-up. They know the show that I'm doing, they're big fans of it, and they said that's an amazing opportunity, so they went back to the writers' room and brainstormed. And I think that this was actually an idea that they threw out there early on—that Karl would eventually bite the dust, and this was the right time.

Now, for the fans who want to see more of you, tell us: What's this Broadway thing you're doing?
Thanks for asking. It's Spring Awakening at the Eugene O'Neill in New York, Broadway and 49th. It's won eight Tonys, and it's the story of young love in 1890s Germany. I play Moritz, but the music is all modern rock 'n' roll. I always just did TV for years and then this came along, and it's wonderful.

The good news is you got the Han Solo line before you died: "I've got a bad feeling about this." I think that's a little gift from the producers. What did they tell you when they told you about the scene?
I wish I knew more than what we all saw last night, but it's sort of all shrouded in secrecy. Watching the episode last night, I did notice that [something that we shot wasn't shown]. On the day we filmed it, the people who were shooting at us, there was actually a great shot of the snipers emerging through the jungle in these incredible, elaborate, jungle camouflage uniforms. And I don't know if you got a sense of that last night or not—I think you just saw movement in the trees.

In terms of what they told me, they didn't tell me much except it's going to be exciting, and we'll hope to have you back in some capacity, and the good news is when you do come back, you serve a cool purpose like Mr. Friendly last night.

Obviously, there's going to be a scene that follows the scene we ended on last night. Do you think that Danielle is killed dead, and will we see any more of Karl's body, or are we just going to leave him there in the dirt?
That's a good question. If you do see Karl's body, I don't think it will actually be me. But they've done it in the past where they have these great body doubles who can certainly play corpses masterfully. Rousseau? I don't know. She's pretty blown up, but...I have a sense you haven't seen the last of Rousseau.

I have a backstory question. I don't know if you have any idea about the answers to this, but I think we learned at one point that Karl was an orphan, and in a sense Alex is, too. Ben obviously adopted Alex and made her his daughter and raised her, but Karl's this foundling who can go to hell as far as Ben is concerned. Do you know anything about why Alex was favored and Karl wasn't?
I wish I did, because I still don't know much about Karl's backstory, especially with pregnant women on the Island. I sort have no idea where he was conceived and where he came from, but I assume he grew up on the Island since he didn't know what The Brady Bunch is.

In the end, I think basically Karl and Alex and Ben comes down to Ben being an overprotective father and knowing what happens to pregnant women on the Island, and knowing that Karl and Alex were clearly in love and wanted to make a life for themselves and maybe even get off the Island. And he was just playing the father card and didn't want to run the risk of Alex getting pregnant at all.

I guess that leads into the next question: Did Ben kill you? Was that Ben?
Really good question. It's hard to tell, right? It's hard to tell based on the writing—they certainly hinted that it could be a possibility, because you know, Karl was astute and asked, "Why isn't everybody going? Why are you just sending us?" And the bullets sort of clearly missed Alex. However, it's my gut that Ben was genuinely trying to protect Alex and genuinely thought that Rousseau could, would, protect her, if need be. It's hard to tell with Ben, but I think that this is real.

And what was it like leaving the show and Tania Raymonde?
I love the show. It's a great group—not to mention they're all incredibly good-looking—and, I mean, you get to shoot in paradise. And Tania? Tania's wonderful. I guess I'm more of the introverted type, and she's the life of the party. I love working with her.

Well, we can't wait until you can come back to Lost, because Karl and Alex are awesome, and I think there's a lot left to learn about them.
Thank you very much.
