I'm still sad there's literally almost no one to share my LOST squeeage with. It's a shame really, because apart from the show, EVERY SINGLE THING that has to do with LOST is always, always SO FUNNY!!!!
And I really do mean, SO FRIKIN HILARIOUS! And I'm here to forcefully tell you what the heck is so awesome about their panel, and when I say forcefully, I mean I am not gonna put it behind a cut so you'll have to scroll through it anyway >=D
The Comic-Con Panel started out with the two (out of three) big honchos of LOST, Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof (sans The Great J.J. Abrams) Again, we've all known that this upcoming Season 6 will be the FINAL season of LOST. Both Damon & Carlton said that they are gonna answer all of those burning questions addressed to the panel today.
Yeah right.
First, Damon & Carlton would like to clarify that, no, they don't make up LOST as they go along. Unlike that whole thing they pulled off in one of Jimmy Kimmel Live's SECRETS OF LOST segments earlier this year during Season 5's run when the trinity of Abrams-Lindelof-Cuse showed the audience of Jimmy Kimmel how exactly LOST was written:
Damon: (while writing in a notepad) Ok gimme an adjective.
JJ: Fashionable!
Damon: Name?
Carlton: Sawyer!
Damon: Noun?
JJ: Bear.
Damon: Another adjective?
JJ: Smoky!
Damon: Beautiful, one more...
Carlton: Death!
Damon: Sweet. OK guys.... "On a FASHIONABLE afternoon, SAWYER and a magical BEAR swim to their SMOKY DEATH..."
JJ: And that is how LOST is written.
So Damon & Carlton said that they have already planned out the Series Finale, and they both have the ending down in 2 pages that they both brought to the Comic-Con Panel. Damon took out his page, and Carlton took out his page from an ankle strap. Paranoid much? XD And what they were gonna do is that they have prepared a LOCKBOX with two locks (which in my opinion, isn't so secure anyway), they're gonna each place their pages into the lockbox, lock it and hang on to the key, then the supposedly now VERY FUCKING COVETED lockbox will be shipped off to a mysterious undisclosed unknown location, and the night after the Series Finale, they'll bring back the lockbox, and open it together again on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
And so they put in their pages and locked the lockbox.
I kept thinking how many fanboys in the room at that moment were actually contemplating serving jailtime just to charge forward and run away with that lockbox!
Few panel questions later, (including some hysterical fanboy who made a velvet art painting of "Damon, Carlton and a Polar Bear" and set up a website at
DamonCarltonAndAPolarBear.com WTF) ...to which none are really answered btw, told ya so. Suddenly Jorge Garcia a.k.a. Hurley was in front of the fanboy microphone asking Damon & Carlton question. To which, Damon & Carlton asked, why did he have to come all the way to Comic-Con? He could've just picked up the phone and called. Jorge then said, yeah... you still haven't called me back. ROFLMAO.
Few inane Hurley questions later (which ranges from where was Shannon's inhaler, and if the bomb detonation works in Season 5 finale means everything they went through in those 5 seasons would be for nothing? ...to which Damon & Carlton says, "Jorge, just trust us." XD) suddenly another voice in the audience whines, "Oh for God's sakes, Jorge, you said ONE QUESTION!" and HOLY FRIKIN COW IT'S MICHAEL EMERSON a.k.a. MOFO EVILNESS BENJAMIN LINUS!!!!!!!!!!
Oh God, they both bickered on the floor speaking and sounding exactly like Hurley & Ben Linus I think I almost died laughing! Michael Emerson kept belittling Jorge Garcia's character Hurley, that Jorge finally ousted him saying how Michael Emerson originally auditioned for Hurley! WTF? To which Emerson denies, emphasizing how he was so good with this guest star character, they decided to keep him as a regular, which makes Ben Linus a character especially written for Michael Emerson. LOL! And then there's childish bickering, "You auditioned for Hurley." "I did not." "Did to." "Did not." and then we were shown a supposed audition tape of MICHAEL EMERSON AUDITIONING FOR HURLEY!!!! OMGWTFROFLOLMAOZTHUD!
Holy crap that was hilarious.
Next guest, Nestor Carbonell a.k.a. Richard Alpert the eyeliner immortal dude. You all probably know him as the Mayor of Gotham in The Dark Knight. Some audience dude was asking about whether or not Nestor Carbonell puts on eyeliner, and then the screen was showing a camera view of Nestor Carbonell backstage putting on eyeliner. And then he complains because the eyeliner is cobalt and he uses nothing else but onyx. LMAO. Then he throws a fucking fit at the makeup artist until he suddenly "realizes" there's a camera behind him. Dies.
Another fanboy addressed the panel saying:
I am an adult male but I cried like a sissy when Juliet was dragged into that hole in the Season Finale. And any other male in this room who tells you they didn't cry like a sissy are LIARS! Can you please tell us if she's gonna be OK in Season 6, and if she's not, can you make her be OK?
YES PLEASE MAKE JULIET BE OKAY!
I adore both Juliet and Elizabeth Mitchell to death! And I am a true SawyerxJuliet shipper, I swear! I don't think I've ever been this passionate about any heterosexual onscreen couple on television! Ever!!!! Seriously!!! The chemistry between Elizabeth Mitchell and Josh Holloway is just so amazing it makes me wanna cry just thinking about the possibility of anything bad happening to Juliet & Sawyer!
Sadly, Elizabeth Mitchell wasn't present as a panel guest, but Damon & Carlton did say that she will be in Season 6, although they won't comment if she's alive, well, dead, a ghost, a memory, a flashback or what? Anything can happen in LOST. I saw a blurry picture of the Final Season promo poster too and it is SO COOL. Every single person who's ever been in LOST is lined up side by side in a loooooooooong row. I can't see their faces but there are SO MANY! OMG, when does LOST start again? Hell, January 2010??? I'm so gonna die waiting, seriously.
Finally, the best best best best BESTEST part of the panel. Well, for me at least.
JOSH HOLLOWAY
Oh. My. God.
Josh Holloway walked across the stage looking as gorgeous as ever. He's a new daddy, btw, and did I ever tell you that I'm only 2 degrees of separation away from Josh Holloway? His mother-in-law is friends with my mom and I've met her and she was asking me if I watch LOST, and I said OF COURSE, I'm a HUGE FAN of your son-in-law. And then she says that LOST confuses her. LMAO. Oh, understandable, totally. LOST is confusing even for me!
So back to the gorgeousness of Josh Holloway. He struts out to the stage, sits down, and then he was asked if he has any questions. Josh Holloway says as a matter of fact he does have a question. Of course, like everyone else, he wants to know what the heck is going on in the Final Season! Join the club, Mr.Holloway! He pulls something out of his pocket and even from a freakin
YouTube video, I can totally see that it's a fucking TASER GUN??? He asks Damon Lindelof if he knows what he's holding and Damon alarmedly replied that it looks like a taser. Josh Holloway then asked Damon Lindelof to give up HIS KEYS TO THE HOLY LOCKBOX.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And when Damon refused, JOSH HOLLOWAY FREAKIN TASERED HIM!!! OOOOMG I shit you not, I was laughing til my eyes bleed. Josh Holloway tasered Damon Lindelof, snatched the keys off his neck and pointed his taser gun at Carlton Cuse next, but not before he put Damon's hand into a jug of water. WHAT THE LMAO!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, apparently Carlton did not want to suffer the same fate as Damon. He gave in to the terrorist's demands and opens the lockbox.
Josh Holloway snatches the TWO HOLY GRAIL PAGES THAT ARE LOST'S SERIES FREAKIN' FINALE and he's like HELL YEAH! Finally!!!! The room roars in anticipation. Josh Holloway starts reading the page. His head tilts, he looks confused.
Michael Emerson:
OH. MY. GOD. YOU CAN'T FUCKING READ, CAN YOU?
HAR HAR HAR I seriously can't describe how hard I laughed at this!!! Josh Holloway is being SOOOOO Sawyer!!! And he grumbles in defense saying that he left his glasses on THE ISLAND! BAHAHAHAHAHAHH FYI for those of you who don't and/or no longer watch LOST, Sawyer (Josh Holloway's character) found out somewhere through the series that the recurring headache he was suffering from was actually an eyesight problem, and he ended up having to wear prescription glasses, and I believe it was actually two halves of different glasses taped into one. LOL.
Michael Emerson snatched the HOLY GRAIL PAGES from Josh Holloway, puts on his glasses as the room again, held their breath in anticipation, and started reading (OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG):
EXTERIOR: CIRCUS TENT (WTF???)
THE APEX OF THE BIG TOP COLLAPSES UPON ITSELF AS THE TENT BURNS LIKE A FIERY CAULDRON. AS THE FLAMES LICK THE NIGHT SKY WE FIND SYLAR (???) AND PARKMAN (!!!) STANDING SIDE BY SIDE.
PARKMAN'S HEAD HANGS LOW IN DEFEAT ......
PARKMAN: WAS MOHINDER INSIDE???
(inaudible for me)... YOU'RE THE LAST PETRELLI NOW.
(inaudible for me) (Michael Emerson pauses)... WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS???
LAUGHS. OUT. SO. LOUD.
Well, we all know there won't be any real LOST Series Finale script in that lockbox in the first place, but I totally was not expecting a HEROES cameo!!!! Holy shit this is the funniest thing I've seen in months, SERIOUSLY!!!!!! The LOST panelists totally rock my socks off, I swear!!!! There were so many other hilarious crap that I haven't mentioned either, like Bob Stencil's appearance in the audience asking some questions about the time-space continuum and then suddenly stuttering and getting a nosebleed and saying he needed to get his CONSTANT which turned out to be a DHARMA BEER CAN. Oh holy mother of...
Seriously, LOST makes such a damn entertaining material outside the seriousness and the mysteriousness of the whole storyline. Every single time I watch some parody about LOST on Jimmy Kimmel, I laugh to death! They're always so creative and incredible, I feel lucky and somewhat thankful that I held on and continued to watch LOST. Yes, it's confusing but I love it! It's like a love-hate relationship, seriously.
Oh, and the last part (this probably would be the BEST PART EVAH for most fanboys but my best part still is Josh Holloway tasering Damon Lindelof so...) the panel showed the last clip, which was an "IN MEMORIAM" clip of all LOST characters who have died in the show.
AND DOMINIC MONAGHAN HAD AN APPARITION ON STAGE!
I can't believe they brought back Charlieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! Well, he's been on the show constantly anyway despite he's dead, as uh... Hurley's "imaginary friend", or whatever he is, really. But OH LOST PANEL BROUGHT CHARLIE BACK JUST TO SAY "HI" AND THEN HUGGY-HUGGY WITH HIS CO-STARS AND PRODUCERS, AND LEFT.
Evilness, these LOST people are. But I love them for it. Such pure awesomeness.
Like I said, next year... I MUST MAKE IT TO SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON!!!!!!!! OK, now I have to be off to watch the new episode of True Blood to see the clean shaven Viking vampire version of Josh Holloway XDDDD
