Lost Has Fan-tastic Plans for Comic-Con

On Saturday, July 25, at Comic-Con International in Hall H at the San Diego Convention Center, Lost will begin its long good-bye in front of 6,500 enthusiastic fans. Since even before the show’s premiere in 2004, the Lost panel has been one of the annual event’s hottest happenings, and this year looks like it will be no different. Executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof break their “radio silence” for an exclusive preview.

What does going to Comic-Con each year mean to you guys?
Carlton Cuse: Comic-Con sort of has the feeling of a homecoming. The most hardcore fans of the show are the people that show up at Comic-Con so we really feel like it's our chance to kind of commune with the people who care the most about Lost. And in a lot of ways, we feel we're responsible for creating this whole sense of community and fan involvement surrounding the show so that really means a tremendous amount to us.
Damon Lindelof: Lost is a TV show so it's like listening to a band that you like on CD. It's an entirely different experience to go see it live. And there is no Lost on Ice.
Carlton Cuse: We're working on that! We have to learn how to ice skate first. Damon, this morning, though—we had some ice time before this interview—he did his first Double Lutz.
Damon Lindelof: Just a one and a half. Carlton's being flattering but once we figure out the kinks…But, you know, all kidding aside, Comic-Con is about as close to a live [Lost] experience as you can get, and as it is with most live experiences, it's not as much about what's happening on the stage as it is in what's happening in the audience. It's just a great opportunity for the fans of the show who literally come from all over the world to be around that energy that normally they just experience in the privacy of their own home.

You know, the idea of Lost on Ice, ABC might be quite interested in that. But anyway, is this definitely your last year at Comic-Con or is some sort of “victory lap” or sorts even possible for 2010?
Carlton Cuse: This is definitively it. This is like a Cher farewell concert. This is the final hurrah. We're not going back to Comic-Con after show is done and in fact, the theme for our panel this year is fan appreciation. We're going as much to celebrate the fans who made Lost everything that it is as we are to talk about the show. It's really exciting and a little bittersweet for us because this is it.

How will that “fan appreciation” manifest itself?
Damon Lindelof: We're trying to be as inclusive as possible. A lot of panels are basically just the producers and directors and actors sitting up on a stage and answering questions, and while that's certainly part of our panel, we look at it more as trying to produce a show. And this year's show is going to try to take into account some content that was actually generated by fans so that they feel like they programmed the panel just as much as we did. We've got a contest out there that involves writing a title song for Lost. As you know, the only title song we've ever had is just “Waaaaaah” so the idea [for the contest was] “What if we had a conventional opening title sequence?” And the winner of that will be announced at the Con and we'll be showing and recognizing that piece there. And there are a couple of other surprises that are fan oriented or fan generated.

Didn't Jimmy Kimmel do a comedic Lost theme song for you guys at one point?
Carlton Cuse: Yeah. Jimmy's done a lot of really cool viral stuff for Lost. He's a huge fan of the show and we completely appreciate all his support, but actually this theme song thing is just open to the fans and we're excited about what we're going to get. I mean, there are some Lost tribute bands that are out there already. One band called Previously on Lost record a song after every episode which has the plot summary of that episode. So there has been some really cool stuff that has been done over time on behalf of the show. But obviously we promise some surprise guests on the panel as well so that hopefully will be engaging for the fans also.

Safe to say at least one cast member is showing up?
Carlton Cuse: I think it's safe to say that you'll see somebody from the cast.
Damon Lindelof: It sure would suck if it were just Carlton and I.

Oh that’s not…well, maybe that's true.
Damon Lindelof: It is. Look, all we can say is that it's enormously tricky because the actors don't live in L.A. and/or San Diego and they're still technically on their break when Comic-Con happens. They're not back at work so that being said, the Comic Con experience has been one that not all our actors have had yet so we might be seeing some faces that never have been down to the Con before. [Editor’s note: Previous year’s attendees: 2008 - Matthew Fox; 2007 - Harold Perrineau; 2006 - Daniel Dae Kim and Jorge Garcia; 2005 - Josh Holloway and Maggie Grace; 2004 - Matthew Fox, Dominic Monaghan and Evangeline Lilly.]

Any moment from past appearances at Comic-Con that's stuck with you guys?
Damon Lindelof: I think we probably have the same one.
Carlton Cuse: We did this thing last year where there was this guy who was a Hurley lookalike who asked [a] questions [from] the crowd and he was so far [away from the stage] we thought for a minute it was actually Jorge Garcia. And we were giving prizes away for questions and so we fortunately had on hand a giant tub of Dharma Ranch dressing which we gave to him as a prize for his question which was a huge really funny moment and that was really enjoyable.

And his question I imagine was, “Can I be a stunt double for Jorge?”
Damon Lindelof: The funny thing was although he was clearly trying to look exactly like Hurley, he did not make any reference to it. His question was not related to Hurley in any way so he sort of had the dry deadpan delivery. But, for me I guess, I'll always remember the second panel that Carlton and I did together. We bought out these little bells, so whenever one of us started answering a question that was giving away too much information, the other one had the authority to ring the bell and that person had to stop talking immediately. To create that energy focused on this one tiny object in a room that had 3,000 people in it was pretty cool.

Are you going to answer questions about the last season?
Damon Lindelof: Yes.
Carlton Cuse: We'll answer some questions and we'll be evasive about some things. I mean, again, we want to find the fine line between teasing and spoiling.
Damon Lindelof: Up until Comic-Con, we've been answering those questions by saying, “We're not talking about Season 6 until Comic-Con.” Now we will no longer be able to use that as an excuse so we'll at the very least have to find a new dodge.

Lost Bosses Say They're Shocked By Latest Emmy Nod

Lost's executive producers say the ABC drama collected its latest Emmy nomination for Outstanding Drama Series in spite of — as well as because of — this past season's hyper-serialized, time-skipping narrative.

"We are very happy, and we are kind of shocked," Carlton Cuse told TVGuide.com. "Doing the time travel-heavy genre, we did not have any expectations that we would get nominated."

See the full list of Emmy nominees

But Cuse and fellow exec producer Damon Lindelof say they are not surprised to see cast member Michael Emerson earn another nomination for his portrayal of the enigmatic Benjamin Linus.

"Michael has been such an amazing part of the show," says Cuse. "His performance, particularly in the episode 'The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham,' is spectacular."

Review Emmy's biggest snubs and surprises

This year the drama series category was expanded to six nominees, but a tie resulted in seven total contenders — five of them on cable. The crowded, formidable, and by-and-large edgier field only adds to the honor of being nominated, say the producers.

"The idea that we made it into the mix with the limitations of broadcast is pretty exciting to us," Lindelof says. Adds Cuse, "Dexter, Big Love, Breaking Bad... Those are shows we think are really well done."

Titus Welliver: Lost's Season-Ending Mystery Isn't Black and White

Titus Welliver probably thought he had seen it all during his run as Deadwood resident Silas Adams. But then he appeared on Lost for all of 1 minute and 45 seconds, and in short order his world — as well as that of the ABC drama — shifted forever.

Who was this mysterious "man in black" taunting Jacob on the beach in the Season 5 finale prologue? What did he mean with the observation, "They come. Fight. They destroy. They corrupt. It always ends the same"? And why did this "Man No. 2" so desperately want to find the loophole necessary to one day kill Jacob?

Review our round-up of season-finale cliffhangers

Welliver, who now has a recurring role on CBS' The Good Wife (premiering Sept. 22), shared a look inside the far-from-black-and-white nature of his Lost visit.

TVGuide.com: How does it feel to be dropped into the zeitgeist that is Lost?
Titus Welliver: It's pretty insane. It's pretty insane. This is a completely different thing for me. At the street level, it has been crazy. People — from all walks of life — come up and say, "Now, you possessed Locke...?" "Are you in fact Locke?" "Has the character of Locke been created from you, and this was a whole setup to crash the plane?"

TVGuide.com: The funny thing is they can only refer to you as "you," because they didn't give your character a name. By what name did you know him?
Welliver: He has no name. He's just "the man," because they don't want to give anything away. I know that this character has a name and I know the importance of it; that's all that I know.

TVGuide.com: So you don't know his actual name?
Welliver: No — and I think they deliberately withheld that.

TVGuide.com: Were you only given the script pages for your scene?
Welliver: No, I got a whole script. But the thing is, unless you're watching the show weekly, you've no bloody idea what's going on. It's not a show that you can just drop into the middle of. I had watched Lost during the first season, but then life and children sort of prevent one from being able to consistently stay with something.

Fall TV grid: See what's on and when

TVGuide.com: Did the producers give you any notes on what the dynamic should be between you and Mark Pellegrino's Jacob?
Welliver: Liz Sarnoff, one of the writers on the show, is actually an old colleague from a show that we did with David Milch, Big Apple, and from Deadwood. Her explanation was that Jacob sees man as being a flawed creature, but that there is always hope, whereas my character has a much more cynical but in some ways realistic view of man. She said, "Now extrapolate from that what you will. Are they waxing philosophical? Are they gods?" What occurs to me as I watch Locke mention the loophole and pitch Jacob into the fire is, "Clearly this other man on the beach has inhabited Locke on some level" — and it never suspends your belief simply because of how intricate the mysterious nature of the show is. You never say, "Aw, c'mon." I find it interesting that the audience completely buys into what [the writers] put in front of them.

TVGuide.com: Fans have all sorts of theories on the Jacob-Man No. 2 relationship. Some see the obvious parallels with the Bible's Jacob and Esau, but there are also a wealth of Egyptian comparisons...
Welliver: Yeah, the Esau thing seems to dominate the extrapolating conversations. People on the subway say, "Are you Esau?" The interactions are that random.

TVGuide.com: Do you think it's as simple as one of these guys is good and the other evil?
Welliver: The way that I interpreted it, on a biblical level, is that it's a sort of Cain-and-Abel scenario. So by destroying Jacob, what does that prove — that [the man in black] can ultimately have power over the island? Do the castaways become solely his playthings? And why was it so important that he find the loophole to be able to kill Jacob? That moved me in the direction of thinking that if he needs this loophole, there's a greater power than the two of them that they're answering to.

TVGuide.com: Right, someone had to establish that loophole. Some giant, cosmic lawyer.
Welliver: [Laughs] Exactly. What [the producers] said to me was, "No hand-wringing" — and I said, "Certainly not," I didn't want to do the Snidely Whiplash thing — "and understand that this is kind of a chess game," hence the fact that one's in black and one's in white. But are they part of the chess game... or are they the players?

TVGuide.com: It seems like Jacob could have one last ace up his sleeve, as evidenced by him saying before dying, "They're coming." He may have put one final countermeasure in place.
Welliver: Oh, yeah. Somebody asked me about that — "Is your character going to just take over?" — and of course I don't have the answer. But as a viewer I think, "It can't be that easy to get rid of Jacob."
