By "original (featured) cast member" I think the working definition has to be the conservative list of who you saw in the pilot.
That excludes a lot of people, given LOST's sort of high body count (All the Tailies except Bernard and many others and all those Others, as well.
So Jack, Charlie, Hurley, Sayid, Jin, Sun, Walt, Michael, Claire, Sawyer, Kate, Boone, Shannon, & Locke, right? Rose confuses me because wasn't she in the pilot? After days it seemed, Jack found her onshore down the way, insisting she was "waiting for Bernard."
I'm not voting but educated guesses go like. There are probably a number of deliberate red herrings(s) but I'll bite: Shannon.
The entertainment news people say they talked to Harold and he's working and happy--just not for LOST (yet) He states that they are friends and sounds like he's convinced himself he should go back. But they've not asked him, he says. Not sure I'd reemploy an actor who responded to his LOST comeback by dissing the storyline and insinuating racism.
I think the writers at the end at least, really blew the Michael story. Part of the problem was indeed "Walt" and the fact that like everyone else--he could not age in the few Island months (first several seasons were only months in the show).
"Michael" seems to come up as "least-desired comeback character" in the polls I've seen floating around. As I've maintained, they slaughtered the character of Michael 1.By making a joke of him (Waaaaalt!!!) and especially, 2. When he killed both Libby and Ana Lucia in cold blood. No to the Michael character though I've liked a lot of Harold Perrineau's work.
This isn’t a good sign: Sources confirm to me exclusively that Fox has decided to pull Dollhouse off the schedule during November sweeps. Joss Whedon’s ratings-challenged drama is expected to return in December and air back-to-back episodes on Friday night.
Bottom line: Barring a ratings miracle, Dollhouse will be shut down for good after it completes its current 13-episode order. Ausiello
I was really looking forward to the upcoming episodes so this news does not put FOX on the good side of my ledger. The Summer Glau arc is worth airing now! Dang.
Question: Is Emilie de Ravin going to be back on Lost for the whole season or just a few episodes? And will we get to see what happened to her?
A: Ausiello: The answer to both of your questions is a resounding (yes!). Better prepare yourself though. My LOST mole says season 6 will showcase “a version of Claire we’ve never seen before — a Rousseau-esque version.”
We’ll be in need of a Rousseau fix since the real version will be MIA. According to a LOST insider, the French Lady’s portrayer, Croatian actress Mira Furlan, turned down the show’s request to return for the final season due to a “prior overseas commitment.”..
The meatiest bits for Furlan I thought, were when she was getting physical with Ben (Michael Emerson) during the big, dramatic freighter not-rescue. We had watched so much dirty behavior on his part that when Rousseau whacked him in the face (with the butt of her rifle once or twice, I think), every time, it was an almost comedic moment to see Ben get his. LOST has continued with that sort of signature Ben always getting beaten to a pulp--then getting back up and going-about his- nefarious-activities thread.
