Valentines from Damon Lindelof

[Sydney]

Kristin at E has held a Q&A session with executive producer, Damon Lindelof. He answers questions regarding the new few episodes, previous season two episodes, character crushes, and more!

Spoilers for upcoming episodes below


From lostlvery: Hurley! Now, Lost scoop, please!
Okay, I am so glad you asked, because I'm freakishly giddy over this amazing, exclusive scoop I just received! I asked our favorite TV superstar Damon Lindelof (executive producer, god, all-around swell guy) for some sort of news about our favorite Lost couples and received this message back from him within minutes. I hope you're sitting down, 'cause it's genius!


From Damon: Apparently, these four Valentines were discovered washed up on the Philippine coast last week. After extensive forensic analysis (a big shout-out to the team over at Criminal Minds), the ink has been restored and we can now tell you what they say:

The First Valentine
Dear Libby,
Roses Are Red
Violets Are Blue
Even though you denied it when I asked, I'm still pretty sure
That I know you.
Be Mine,
Hurley

The Second Valentine
J,
Y'know how the Fugitive--from the TV show, I mean--was a doctor? Well, you're a doctor. And I'm a fugitive. How about that?! So...even though I kissed you and ran away because I saw an imaginary horse, I hope you forgive me.
I miss you,
K

The Third Valentine
Dearest Husband Jin,
If you understood English, you would know that I am writing you this Valentine to tell you that even though you frustrate the hell out of me sometimes, you are so effing hot when you take your shirt off.
All My Love,
Sun

And Finally...the Fourth Valentine
Freckles,
There ain't no damn roses anywhere, so...
Wanna screw?
The One with the Guns



Just to reiterate to any who missed the intro, those Valentines were washed up on the Philippine coast and sent to me via Damon Lindelof (no joke, from Damon--and he should know, right?). Now, how much do you love that guy? Seriously, he's my hero! Also, from the Hurley one, we can infer that he and Libby did know each other before. And according to a little birdie (*ahem* by the name of D.D.K. *ahem*), the Jin-Sun one is a bit spoilerish as well...Apparently, Jin has a big shirtless scene coming up! How's that for a Valentine's present?!



From Jane: TV crush? If my parents are reading: Josh Holloway. If not: Evangeline Lilly. Now, my question about the two: Is it over for Sawyer and Kate? That twist in last week's episode was insane.
Ha! So true. And if my parents are reading, I thought Josh was a fantastic actor in that ep. If they're not, that whole "new sheriff" tirade made me wanna jump his evil bones. (And also hang Charlie by his grim-reaper hoodie drawstrings! Poor Sun!) But back to the question at hand, Javier Grillo-Maxuach, who is a writer on the show, posted an answer to that very question at TheFuselage.com and it made me giddy: "It's over. Just like Ross and Rachel were over. And Dave and Maddie were over. And Han and Leia were over. And Rick and Ilsa were over. And Antony and Cleopatra were over. And Kristin and Wentworth were over." (I may have added in that last one.)



From libbycluck: Secret crush--you! Now give us some Lost scoop.
You are such a suck-up! And there's a special place in heaven for good people like you. I can't remember now what I've said about Claire's next flashback. I don't want to give too much away, the next episode will be very much centered around the baby Aaron (the storyline on the island, not the flashback) and a disturbing development regarding him. She's also getting her memory back and, um, uh...crap, I forget.



From Hillary: Wentworth Miller! And I want to strangle his girlfriend Shmistin Sheech. Okay, my question: Last week, you said that the Others might be "deceiving" the Losties. What does this mean?
Ugh. Seriously. That Shmistin is a Shmitch. It is something that we will find out about in the next flashback episode for Claire. Here's another hint. (Read this only if you want to know and hints don't drive you crazy!) Friendly Mr. Zeke may have something in common with Tobias F?nke.


From Geeno: Katherine Heigl (Grey's Anatomy). Those lips! Okay, it's still driving me insane about that Easter Egg that Damon Lindelof said was in Charlie's flashback episode. The one about the London skyline? Was it just the Pink Floyd-Animal Farm reference, or was it actually a sign?
I just listened to the latest official Lost podcast. (Can I just say, Damon and Carlton are adorable and funny together! Love them!) And they revealed that the sign on the power-plant building in the skyline was supposed to be bigger, and it read...um, crap, what was it? Who listened? Oh my god, TV has officially made me stupid. I want to say it was Whitmore Construction? Who knows and can save mama from her misery? Anyhoo, they also confirmed that Rousseau's daughter Alex may have something to do with the fact that Mr. Friendly (aka beardy Zeke) called out to an "Alex" to bring out Kate during their little meet and greet. Don't be surprised if Alex is an Other!



From Meagan_Michelle: I wanted to let you know that Glen Miller's plane disappeared over the English channel. He composed "Moonlight Serenade"--the song Sayid and Hurley heard over the radio on the last episode of Lost. Love you!
Oh, wow. I'd forgotten that! Thanks, Meagan. The same song also appeared in an episode of the Twilight Zone in which a guy was receiving radio broadcasts from another time. But I sincerely think that line from Hurley was just to mess with us, and the castaways are still in present day. I also noticed that Oceanic Airlines was launched in 1980, the same year the Hanso video was filmed. Coincidence? Probably not!

Thanks lost_tv
