Here are the Lost-related sections from premire week's Ask Ausiello column at the tvguide website:
Question: So what do you think about Lost winning the Emmy? I know I was ecstatic. Got any scoop about tonight's season premiere? — Katie
Ausiello: Next to J.J.'s directing triumph, it was the most welcome win of the night. As far as scoop goes, I recently was tipped off about the contents of the hatch, and I'm confused as ever — but it's a really good kind of confused. I don't think I'm giving anything away by saying the question on everyone's mind Thursday morning will be less "What is it?"
and more, "How'd it get there?"
Question: Lost scoops please? — Trish
Ausiello: Exec producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse dropped what I thought was a pretty major spoiler in Sunday's New York Times. An article on Lost's second season ended with the duo ruling out three popular endgame theories: The castaways will not learn that they are part of some dastardly experiment, discover that they are in purgatory or wake up from a bad dream. "These guys get off the island," Cuse said. But then, in unison, they both added: "If it's an island." Hmmm…
Question: Is the character Rose ever coming back to Lost? I heard that the actress had gotten a theater gig but the door was open for her return. She was a great character, and I miss her talks with Charlie. Thanks. — Lois
Ausiello: (SPOILER ALERT) Yes, Rose will resurface this season in a big way.
Question: When you see Terry O'Quinn on the red carpet, could you please grab him, hog-tie him and force him to reveal what is in the hatch? Thanks! — Susan
Ausiello: Sadly, TV Guide's strict interrogation policy (no torture unless a major scoop is at stake) prohibits me from engaging in such blatant acts of coercion. So I simply asked him the question. "Tell that fan that we're all going down the hatch Wednesday night," he said. "I would not in a million years even risk taking a tiny step toward ruining it." One thing Terry did ruin spill: This season's third episode will be a Locke-centric flashback. Also, the fifth episode is all about Sun.
