Latest from TV Guide on Jacob
Talk about a split personality complex. For the past year, Mark Pellegrino has been dividing time between Vancouver and Hawaii playing polar-opposite characters—Lucifer on the CW’s Supernatural and the God-like Jacob on ABC’s Lost. With Lost concluding May 23, and Lucifer’s season-long scheme of unleashing the Apocalypse finally set to explode on Supernatural’s May 13 finale, expect cataclysmic shockers for both shows.
First, on Lost, we’ll learn that Jacob—soon to have a confrontation with Jack—may not be so godly after all when his character takes center stage in “Across the Sea” on May 11 (followed a week later by the penultimate “XXX”). “Jacob has a lot of darkness and corners we haven’t explored yet, so the differences between him and Lucifer are not as much as you would think,” says Mark, an L.A. native who shares a passion for martial arts with Lost rival/real-life chum Titus Welliver (Man in Black). “With these archetypal characters, the boundary between good and evil becomes blurry. Jacob’s on a mission. It’s your judgment as to whether he’s good or bad.”
As for his own beliefs, back in his mid-20s, Mark, now 45, was baptized in an L.A. pool as a born-again Christian, but now has a more “spiritual/philosophical” point of view. Claiming to be a “pretty angelic” husband and father, he surely must possess at least one devilish habit? “Sometimes I pilfer socks and underwear from sets,” he says, quickly clarifying, “They’re the clean, fresh ones. It’s not like I go into somebody’s trailer and pick out their underwear.” Evangeline Lilly and Jared Padalecki just breathed sighs of relief.

Latest Tidbit via TV Guide - April 14th
Do you think Lost's sideways timeline occurs concurrent with island events or after? — Barry
MICKEY: It's a good question, Barry. When we were chatting with Yunjin Kim about Jin's newfound fertility in the sideways timeline, call us crazy, but we think she revealed something. "Obviously Jin was infertile on the island, but in the flash-sideways he's perfectly healthy," she says. "I don't know if that's because we spent time on the island, even though it's a different lifeline, and the island cured his infertility, therefore in the flash-sideways he's completely healthy. That's what I assumed when I read the script." Sounds like sideways is after, no?

New Henry Ian Cusick Interview via TV Guide
Thanks to our friend Natalie Abrams with TV Guide for the heads up with her new interview with Henry Ian Cusick!
TVGuide.com: How does it feel knowing that Desmond is the key to everything?
Cusick: Desmond certainly is a part, but is he the key? There's not one character that is the key. There are many characters that will have to step up and do things before this is resolved. Desmond has a part to play, a significant part, but there are many others that will step up.
TVGuide.com: "Happily Ever After" was very similar to "The Constant."
Cusick: It was an interesting episode. Compared to the other Desmond-centric episodes, it wasn't so high-stakes and angsty, with Desmond running through the jungle and shouting for Penny. This was a bit slower, I thought. The Desmond in the sideways was very different from the Desmond on the island.
TVGuide.com: Would you say that Desmond is everyone's constant?
Cusick: No, I don't think that's right. In the flash-sideways, the characters are all slightly different from the characters on the island. They're all slightly hypnotized or haven't seen the truth. Like Desmond, he's slightly dead in this life. He's just a hollow corporate guy until Charlie [Dominic Monaghan] comes along. Desmond also recognizes that everyone in that sideways world — there are clues when you look in the mirror — when they look at their reflections, they go, "Hang on, what is reality?" They're aware something is not quite right, but they can't put a finger on it. Desmond now knows he's alive again and knows his purpose.
TVGuide.com: And now he wants to find everyone on Oceanic 815 to show them that truth.
Cusick: Yeah, at the end [of the episode], Desmond says "Where's the manifest? I need to show them something and it's going to be beautiful." When they get to see this other world, that's when their hearts will open and know what they have to do; they'll know the truth.
TVGuide.com: Based on what Desmond, Faraday (Jeremy Davies) and Charlie saw, their flashes seem to be based in love. Would you say that's a strong theme of the series?
Cusick: Yes, you're absolutely right in a sense that the driving force of Lost is love. Desmond is totally driven by love. What's interesting is how they see this other world. Charlie and Desmond both had near-death experiences and they recognized their loves. It's sort of spiritual, the thing they have to get to at the end of this, what Desmond has to do.
TVGuide.com: Since it appears that one has to almost die to see the alternate universe, does that mean everyone in the sideways universe has to die to fuse the two timelines?
Cusick: We don't know which is the real universe at the moment. We don't know which universe the show will end up in. Desmond is going to show them a glimpse of the other world and we'll see how and if they collide, and what will happen when they do.
TVGuide.com: Desmond changed his fate in the sideways universe by meeting Penny. Does the fact that he suddenly then woke up mean their fates are determined by their upcoming choices?
Cusick: Desmond says to Charlie that there's always a choice. He's only out for a very short time when he's given that electromagnetic charge, but when he comes back to the island, he is enlightened and knows exactly what his mission is. He embraces that and now knows what he has to do, so he follows Sayid [Naveen Andrews] because that is a way for him to further his mission. He's not struggling with anyone; he knows what has to be done. It's a very odd moment with Sayid, but this is the way for him to fulfill his mission.
TVGuide.com: Is Desmond claimed like Sayid and Claire (Emilie de Ravin) are?
Cusick: No, absolutely not. He's not claimed at all. It's the polar opposite. Sayid and Claire have been claimed by the Man in Black. Desmond, on the other hand, has had an epiphany. He's enlightened. He has no fear of the Man in Black.
TVGuide.com: Eloise (Fionnula Flanagan) seems like she knows what's going on in the sideways universe and even tells Desmond that he's not ready. How is it that she's conscious of this?
Cusick: She is a law unto herself. She's working on a different timeline. She always seems to know more than everyone else. She's like the oracle. If I was a fan watching it, how she seems to know wouldn't bother me just now, but hopefully these things will be addressed. She's opposed to the idea of Desmond trying to bring everyone together. She's trying to cover everyone's eyes.
TVGuide.com: What's the mission that Charles Widmore (Alan Dale) wants Des to complete?
Cusick: Widmore and Desmond are on the same mission. Basically, Widmore says if Desmond doesn't survive the electromagnetic blast, we're all going to die, so Desmond is there to help make sure that people don't die, along with a lot of others. There will be more explosions.

Latest from TV Guide - Which Kwon Is a Candidate?
Lost can't help but toy with fans' emotions. After several long seasons of Sun (Yunjin Kim) and Jin (Daniel Dae Kim) being separated, the two finally reunited, albeit in the sideways universe. Now the question is: Which Kwon is the important Kwon? Could the maker of the Dharma maps be the next candidate? Or is it the mother of Ji Yeon? Or is it Ji Yeon herself?
Dae Kim addresses these questions in this week's Getting Lost:

Daniel Dae Kim - Interview with TV Guide
Thanks to TV Guide's Natalie Abrams for this interview.
After Tuesday night's Sun-centric (Yunjin Kim) and Jin-centric episode of Lost, many viewers are wondering if Sun is not long for this world, or the other world, too! TVGuide.com caught up with Daniel Dae Kim to find out what the final seven episodes hold for the fates of the castaways, including whether Sun or Jin is the important candidate whom UnLocke (Terry O'Quinn) is looking for. Spoiler alert: It could be neither of them!
TVGuide.com: Sun and Jin are not married, but still running away together in the alternate universe. Is this sideways timeline more similar than we originally thought?
Dae Kim: As we saw from last night, there are certain similarities and certain big differences. In a way, the big question for me is: Why? I think we're going to discover that each character has something that is unexpected in their lives off the island and we're trying to figure out the source of it.
TVGuide.com: Will Sun and Jin ever be reunited on the island?
Dae Kim: I hope so. I kind of feel like Sun and Jin, in some ways, are the heart of this show. I think people are really looking forward to a reunion, but Keamy said in last night's episode, "Some people are not meant to be together." So it's a tough call.
TVGuide.com: Since Sun has forgotten to speak English. When they're reunited, will Jin be her translator?
Dae Kim: That would be ironic. [Laughs] It would be a one-eighty ...
TVGuide.com: There's a big, obvious question in that only one of them is important because only one of them can be a candidate. What will we see come of that?
Dae Kim: I don't mean to make things more complicated, but it could also mean their daughter can be a candidate. Kwon is the last name for all three of them. It's difficult to say. It may be that all three of them are candidates, but it doesn't necessarily mean any of them will end up being the new Jacob.
TVGuide.com: Does their daughter play an integral part in the next few episodes?
Dae Kim: She is a factor. She has to be accounted for.
TVGuide.com: Jin used to be infertile, but Sun is pregnant in the alternate universe. Will that be addressed?
Dae Kim: Absolutely. It will be addressed. There's more to Sun and Jin's story in the alternate reality.
TVGuide.com: Jin is now involved in Charles Widmore's plan. How is Jin able to help with "The Package," that is Desmond (Henry Ian Cusick)?
Dae Kim: Widmore is trying to recruit anyone and everyone that he can. The fact that Jin and Desmond know one another and can help unite each other against the same enemy, I think, is important.
TVGuide.com: Widmore's plan seems to be that he wants to keep everyone on the island now.
Dae Kim: Yeah, I think the writers are doing such a really good job on keeping him ambiguous and the real idea of who's good and who's bad on the island. It's a reflection of how things are in real life; it's not so black and white. Whose motives are going to allow the castaways to survive? I'm not sure. It's a fine balance.
TVGuide.com: Will the submarine hold the fates of several characters?
Dae Kim: Ahh, that can very well be. I can say that the tension on the island continues. Death is definitely a part of their experience on the island for the past six years. As the stakes get higher and people align themselves with different sides, it's natural. Locke pretty much declared war in Tuesday's episode, so there are always causalities.
TVGuide.com: Because you're nearly finished shooting, what is the feeling like on the set?
Dae Kim: The other day, when we were on set all together, there was this feeling like what I got when I graduated high school. We still had to go to school, there was still work to be done, but we knew that we were going to be leaving soon. We could appreciate and enjoy each other's company because we knew it would be coming to a close. It was a really light-hearted tone and the day went fast.
TVGuide.com: What can you say to fans who have griped about the sideways universe in regards to the finale?
Dae Kim: As long as I can remember, there has been a small and vocal population of fans that have been unhappy with the show; this season is no exception. To that I'll say that the landscape and characters and story lines and plot that our writers have put together is so labyrinth-y, I give the writers so much credit for being able to address the questions, but also do it in a compelling way. In the grand scheme of themes they're trying to address, the majority of those questions will be answered by the end of the series.
