LOST Goodies

I just got an e-mail from Producer Rachel. She found a transcript from a Lost panel in USA Today (July 22). I'm posting it below. Enjoy!

The 'Lost' panel: You're there, too
As promised, here's everything that went down this morning. All times are PT:

10:34 a.m.: We see footage from the Lost Diaries, which debut on Verizon cell phones in the fall. The concept follows Hurley, who finds a video camera on the island. Kate and Sawyer appear in the clip.

10:38 a.m.: We see clips from the second season DVD set. Among them: backstage footage of the Hurley-Sawyer fight, a short clip of Alvar Hanso and interviews with writers about the Sun-Jin relationship.

10:43 a.m.: Executive producers Bryan Burk, Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof take the stage. The crowd roars for Jorge Garcia and Daniel Dae Kim.

10:46 a.m.: The guys mention two strange theories fans have come up with: that the show takes place in Vincent's mind (he's the dog), and that Hurley is Claire's baby grown up.

10:50 a.m.: The line of fans with questions stretches nearly to the back of the room. One woman has already professed her love for Garcia.

10:52 a.m.: Cuse says fan response has influence the show in several ways. One of them is the way the show is structured next season, with pods of new episodes. The first six eps, he says, will be like a miniseries.

10:54 a.m.: The crowd boos when an audience member tells the panel she wasn't surprised Lost got no Emmy nods. "We were disappointed and a little bit shocked,"Lindelof says of the snub. He adds that they don't write the series just to win awards, though.

10:57 a.m.: Did Lindelof just slip? He tells a fan it may be wrong to assume the castaways have "been there as long as they think they've been there." The crowd gasps and applauds. Lindelof says no more.

11 a.m.: Cuse and Lindelof deny the existence of an "underwater hatch."

11:03 a.m.: Cuse and Lindelof confirm Bernard and Rose do not work for Dharma.

11:04 a.m.: A woman named "Rachel Blake" demands to know the truth about the Hanso Foundation, Joop the monkey and organ harvesting. "Have you no shame?" she screams. Cuse and Lindelof contend there is no foundation. She urges the crowd to check out HansoExposed.com, then storms out of the room. (She leaves through the front exit with two female escorts, implying her appearance is a setup.)

11:10 a.m.: Says Lindelof: "You will never, ever hear the word 'clone' on Lost."

11:12 a.m.: How does Jorge feel about being a heartthrob? "About the same," he says.

11:14 a.m.: We learn one upcoming DVD feature will show all of Sawyer's nicknames in one clip.

11:17 a.m.: Lindelof says the Diaries will be posted online a week after they appear on phones. Thirteen two-minute eps are planned.

11:19 a.m.: A girl wearing a homemade Dharma jumpsuit asks whether we'll see Vincent again. The answer: yep. He's still on the island.

11:22 a.m.: Because Hurley's character had not been written when he auditioned, he says he read Sawyer's lines at first.

11:26 a.m.: "Hi, my name is Stuart, and I'm a Lost-aholic," a nervous fan says. "Hi, Stuart," the crowd chants back. He, too, says he loves Garcia.

11:28 a.m.: Lindelof says the show has no plans for how many seasons it will last. "Zombies (in) season seven!" a fan shouts.

11:29 a.m.: From Cuse: The hieroglyphics loosely translate to the term "underworld."

11:30 a.m.: Cuse says Desmond will return next season.

11:32 a.m.: The "monster" on the island is not a "cloud of nanobots," Lindelof says.

11:33 a.m.: A Lost video game is being developed right now, Cuse says. He adds that Kate will "get with" someone on the island "very soon."

11:37 a.m.: Lindelof says we will learn more about Libby next season and beyond.

11:40 a.m.: We learn that J.J. Abrams co-writes the third-season premiere and may direct the seventh episode.

11:47 a.m.: Lindelof says the third season will feature more adventure, more info about those who captured Jack, Kate and Sawyer and a vastly different feeling than the first two seasons. He adds that something will happen halfway through that will effectively fry everybody's brains. He jokes that it will also feature naked Hurley and Jin. The first ep is titled "A Tale of Two Cities."

11:53 a.m.: We see a quick teaser for the new season. It doesn't reveal anything, but the crowd screams anyway.

Boy, are my thumbs tired -- have fun discussing!

Here's video of the "Rachel Blake" interruption of the Lost panel at Comicon:(It's very dark and hard to make out, but you can see Lindelof, Jorge Garcia, and Daniel Dae Kim at the beginning of the clip)




Rachel Blake is the character from the ARG of The Lost Experience which is being played right now on the internet through various websites. I made several posts about it in my Season 2 Blog. Rachel Blake's real name is Jamie Silberhartz and she is a MySpace friend. Check her out!
