Yunjin Kim, who plays Sun on Lost, was on The View yesterday and Winnie from WatchingTheView has the recaps to this particular episode. Or watch this video below, from DarkUFO.

This one’s an absolutely cute feature from TV Guide between the show’s producers and its actors, with the latter asking the questions we regular viewers want to know the answers to.

Spoiler Alert!

I was supposed to put this up last week, right before The Constant aired. But I knew there would be spoilers so I didn’t read the interview till today…

Q: So is Desmond’s episode tonight a flash-forward or flashback?
A: It’s, uh … to be honest, it’s neither. It’s more in line with those time-travel flashes before his eyes. A lot of people either love the time-travel element or hate it.

I was kicking myself for missing this one but thank to Winnie from The View for the recaps (some excerpts)

People have been having difficulty separating him from his character. In Waikiki where he lives when the show is filming, he kept running into a couple from New Zealand and the woman said that she wouldn’t watch the show anymore because his character was so dark. He was on subway recently and someone stood up and said, “That is that guy! That is that scary guy from TV!” He said that everyone turned to stare and the preacher woman on the train started to make him the subject of her sermon.

Check WatchingTheView for a daily rundown. By the way, the site also mentions Terry O’ Quinn (Locke) will be chatting with the women of The View, Tuesday, Feb 22.

As for the actual video to Michael Emerson’s interview, here it is:

I don’t get to watch Craig Ferguson’s Late Late Show, so thanks to whoever uploaded this video with Evangeline Lilly and her valentine dress (which looks so cute on her!). She talks about Valentine’s celebration (of course), Spam Day in Hawaii and a Lumberjack clip she watched as a kid in Canada. Fun interview!

Why do I get the feeling I’m going to love Charlotte as much as I did Juliet? I’ve actually seen Rebecca on a previous TV show (Justice) but wasn’t so much impressed by her. This time, it’s different as I like her role on Lost a whole lot better.

She recently talked to TV Guide about her role…

There was a bit of a media frenzy over the summer surrounding the casting of your role — due, in large part, to Kristen Bell turning it down. Did you follow all that?
Mader: [Laughs] I didn’t know when I was going through the whole audition process. It wasn’t until after I got the job that I heard those rumors. Friends of mine would say, “Kristen Bell was up for your part and turned it down.” And I’m like, “Did she?”

Before anything else, TV Guide is reporting that we’re to expect some steamy scenes with Juliet on Lost up ahead. And nope, I don’t mean she’s gonna be in a sauna room somewhere. I meant the obvious — Juliet’s going to have sex. This episode would be airing March 6, and I will be bringing some previews and spoilers of that on that week.

And indeed I will be very “lost” without Charlie on the show. Watching the “Greatest Hits” episode gave us a sort of closure as well as a bigger glimpse into Charlie’s life. But, there was a part of me that kept thinking he wasn’t really going to die. Even up till the very last second, eventhough I had already read about Dominic’s release from the show, I still had hope. Call me an optimist! I just didn’t want to let go.
Dominic Monaghan might have said good-bye to Charlie, but he has plans for the future. He’s starring in the new horror flick I Sell The Dead, which is set to release later this year. In the movie Dominic plays a grave robber named Arthur Blake who, well, here’s the rundown direct from the movie website:

Body Snatchers Arthur Blake and Willie Grimes have pillaged their last grave. With just five hours before Arthur follows Willie to the chopping block, he recounts his life story to Fr Francis Duffy. It soon becomes clear that Blake and Grimes were no ordinary grave robbers. And through his stories the priest learns that not all corpses are equal.
I Sell The Dead is a kaleidoscope of terror that will leave you questioning life, death and what lies between.

I Sell The Dead also stars one of my all time favorite actors, the legendary Ron Perlman who plays Fr. Francis Duffy.
The TV Guide interview from May 2007 gives a little more insight as to why Lost is saying good-bye to Charlie. Dominic also says that he is looking into the possibility of hosting a nature show, and maybe working with Peter Jackson on some upcoming projects.
I was first taken with Dominic when he had furry feet and trekked across Middle Earth, I dug Charlie the bad-boy on Lost, and I’m sure I will be into whatever Dominic does next.

But… what will Claire and Aaron do without Charlie?

167 days until Lost season 4 premier!

That’s the $64,000 question! Okay, maybe it’s not that important, but it’s a question that’s been weighing on all Lost fans’ minds throughout the 3rd season. The last we saw of Michael and Walt, they were sailing off on a boat at the end of season 2 leaving Kate, Sawyer, Jack, and Hurley at the mercy of “The Others”. We naturally assumed that Michael and Walt would sail back to the mainland and try to find help for his friends back on the island.
In drops Naomi at the end of season 3 with the news that everyone believes the passengers of Flight 815 are dead. Where does that leave Michael and Walt? Did they shipwreck on yet another island? Was the boat rigged so that they never made it home? Or maybe they just slunk back into normal life, forgetting all about their stranded friends.
Somehow, I doubt the Lost producers will keep us in the dark forever about what happened. It’s too big a storyline with too many unanswered questions to just let it slide and hope the fans forget a la daytime soap operas.
I was excited to see Walt, much older and taller looking, appear to John as John was fighting for his life after Ben shot him. A big reason why Malcome David Kelley hasn’t returned as Walt. While it may be only a matter of months on the island for the Lostaways, it’s been years for the actors. Unlike the adults of the cast whose appearance varies little from season to season, the kids grow and change. Kind of hard to explain how Walt, a 10 year old little boy, has such a deep voice after only a few months!
Will Harrold Perrineau come back as Micheal for season 4? Word has it he’s talking with Lost producers. Nothing’s official… as of yet. But I’m keeping my fingers crossed!

212 Days until Season 4 Premier!

Can you still sing the “Speed Racer” song? “Go Speed Racer, Go Speed Racer, Go Speed Racer… Go…..” Now that I’ve got that stuck in your head for the rest of the day, I do realize that I’ve stumbled into the Lost blog and not the Japanese Anime blog. However, I was so excited to see that our very own Lost hero, Matthew Fox, is playing the infamous and mysterious Racer X in the upcoming live-action Speed Racer movie. The movie, made by the Wachowski brothers of Matrix fame, is slated to be released in 2008. An all-star cast includes Susan Sarandon, John Goodman, and Christina Ricci.
I am a tad too young to remember the original series, but I sat glued to my Cartoon Network many a days. Not only attracted to that very catchy tune, but to the fast-paced storyline. I mean, who doesn’t love the classic good vs. evil/ little guy vs. Big Brother story?
I went digging to see if I could find a trailer of some sort. I didn’t find a trailer, but I did find this little video to give us our “Jack” fix:

I’ll have to keep an eye on how Matthew is doing in his roll as Racer X. And we’ll definitely be excited to see one of our favorite childhood characters come to life.

Here’s ABC’s official preview for tonight’s episode. Looks good!

The rain scene with desmond from before and this latest charlie street singing scene were not one in the same…

Taken from http://lost.cubit.net/viewEgg.php?id=289

we see Charlie in his flashback standing on a corner, performing an Oasis song when he is interrupted by a sudden downpour. At first look, it seems this is the same scene from Flashes Before Your Eyes. But if so, where is Desmond? On closer inspection, however, it is evident we are witnessing two separate, but independent events. Charlie’s shirt is different, he doesn’t appear to have the sign, the surrounding buildings are different (although there is a NewsAgent stand in both, the font is different on the two stands).

Here’s something to ponder…Everyone is so focused on the second women who came out pointig a gun at Charlie, but what about the first one, the blond? If you put her possible true identity together with my previous theory that the Looking Glass station’s inhabitants are original Dharma, what could you get?

You get that the Blond woman in the Looking Glass hatch could be Ben’s childhood friend. The one who gave him the wooden doll.

After last week, everyone was left wondering if Ben ended up gassing her too, but what he she stowed away in the underwater hatch?

A bit of irony that Liam gave Charlie the ring because Charlie was the responsible one, the one most likely to get married and have kids (heirs to pass the ring on to). Instead, Liam straightens up, gets married and has a kid (if my memory serves me), and Charlie becomes the junkie. Wonder why Liam never asked for the ring back after they switched roles and Charlie became the prodigal son. Interestingly enough, a ring figures significantly into the prodigal son story (from the parable); it is among the gifts the father gives the wayward son when he returns home repentant.

I think I have this whole “why wasn’t Desmond there when Charlie was singing in the rain” thing figured out. Someone earlier posted (page 23 maybe) that the flashbacks we saw this week were actually memories that Charlie was having causing him to write his “Greatest Hits”. The reason Desmond wasn’t present there in that version of the scene was because Charlie just didn’t remember him. Who’s going to remember some random guy coming up to you on the street asking some absurd question of “don’t I know you”? Charlie’s memory of that event differs from Desmond because Desmond was actually having a flash of the past/present/future and remembers the details very vividly. The lapse in Charlie’s memory would also explain the change in clothing and where it was performed on the street as some people have noticed the buildings around him are also different. All Charlie needed to remember about that event was that he was playing Wonderwall and it started to rain. Our perceptions of events are only what we make them out to be so it’s completely plausible that Charlie’s version of that moment and Desmond’s version are both correct.

The preview for this week’s episode follows the jump. Beware of spoilers.
