Elizabeth Mitchell liked seeing Sawyer and Kate together

Elizabeth Mitchell, who plays Juliet, one corner of the Sawyer-Kate-Jack-Juliet love quadrangle, said that she liked seeing Sawyer with Kate.

This came up during an interview at Comic-Con, published today in Movieline:

I had always liked Sawyer with Kate! I mean, not to be a fangirl — which I am — but I just really actually liked them together. I liked their chemistry, their passion.

I can’t argue with that!

She also said that she was leery, at first, of the peacefulness of Juliet and Sawyer’s relationship. Like most of us, she was suprised by how satisfying it became to watch that relationship blossom:

[Juliet became] [h]appy and not as complex, do you know what I mean? She and Sawyer had found this kind of peace that I fought very hard against and Josh fought very hard against, and we were so wrong, which is really nice. When I watched it, I liked it, and I don’t usually like anything I do.

… What I didn’t anticipate is how Josh would play it and how he made it so honest and so happy and so real. When I was watching him, I was like, “That’s why that relationship works.”

One thing that Kate-and-Sawyer and Juliet-and-Sawyer have in common is that both couples had kissing scenes which became instant classics:

Comic-Con: The fine line between teasing and spoiling

It's the last time for LOST at Comic-Con

It's the last time for LOST at Comic-Con

Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, the dynamic producing/writing duo known as “Darlton,” will be appearing at Comic-Con this Saturday, July 25, 2009, from 11:00 am to Noon. This will likely be a bittersweet event, because LOST has presented a panel every year at Comic-Con since 2004, the summer before LOST premiered, and this summer will be the very last time.

In an interview a few days ago, TV Guide asked Darlton if they were going to answer questions about Season 6:

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.

With 6,500 fans packing the hall, you can be sure there will be plenty of live reports going out via Twitter. Good places to check are #lost, #sdcc, #comiccon, and #comic-con.

When the video comes out, I’ll be looking for highlights and funny lines.

Speaking of funny lines, here’s a clip from last year’s event. Damon and Carlton were talking about a special feature on the Season 4 DVD which presented the flash-forwards in linear order, when they themselves suddenly flash-forwarded to the future:

… with my left eye! Ha ha, very good.

Remember the “Previously on Lost” band that played on the Season 5 Finale LOST Untangled video?

They’re going to be in New York tonight, playing at the Mercury Lounge in lower Manhattan, where they will be performing their Season 5 Finale recap song live for the first time. Also appearing are the headline act Malajube — a French-Canadian indie rock band — and two other bands. Only $10! 21+

Here’s a clip of the band in a concert they did last year at the Knitting Factory in NY, singing a catchy recap of The Constant:

And here’s the Season 5 Finale LOST Untangled video:

You can listen to more of Previously on Lost’s songs on their MySpace page.

Jack’s head in a coconut

This is a LOST promo from Spain, which is unlike any promo I’ve seen in the U.S. It’s very surrealistic:

The words held by the crabs at the end — Te queremos encontrar — translate (I think) to “You want to find.” What does that mean? “Find” as a play on words on “Lost”? Your guess is as good as mine.

Michael Emerson’s Emmy-winning role in “The Practice”

I hope the third time will be the charm for Michael Emerson, who has just been nominated again for an Emmy for playing Benjamin Linus, after being nominated for that role, but losing, twice before.

Emerson did win a much-deserved Emmy for an earlier role as a guest actor on the legal show The Practice in 2001. He played William Hinks, a man accused of being a serial killer.

The first segment of the story is about Hinks’ trial. You can watch it in five YouTube videos, which is not as daunting as it sounds, as several of the videos are very short. All together, this segment runs about 15 minutes. If you watch all five videos, you’ll be rewarded with a clever plot twist.

(The network may pull these off of YouTube, as they did previous copies that were posted, so enjoy them while you can.)

Michael Emerson is mesmerizing in this multi-layered role. He acts rings around the other actors. You can also see the similarities between William Hinks and Ben Linus. Hinks is like Ben on a bad day — or, perhaps, on a good day, depending on your perspective:

Continued here: Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 <-- This one gave me chills! | Part 5 <-- Wow! There are several more scenes which are (I think) from subsequent episodes. While the previous scenes reminded me of a chess game, the following scenes are more like a horror movie: Part 6 | Part 7 | Part 8 | Part 9

According to Wikipedia (citing audio commentary on the Season 3 DVD), the LOST producers offered Emerson the role of Ben because they liked his work on The Practice. Emerson, though, in an interview a few months ago, said he thought he only “indirectly” got the job on LOST because of The Practice.

He added, laughing, that the two roles are “at least in the same temperature zone.”

Would that be cold (as an icy heart) or hot (as the inner circle of Hell)?

Michael Emerson, 17 years ago

In 1992, Michael Emerson was already playing characters that hang out with people wearing jumpsuits ;)

In this 1992 training film for prison employees, Michael Emerson plays a prison counselor. He looks so young! He’s a better actor now, and, I think, more interesting-looking. Time has been good to him.

He first appears in the video about a minute-and-a-half in:
