Executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof provided a glimpse into Season 5 at the standing room only event attended by over 6500 faithful Lost fans, many of whom had spent the night in line waiting for this moment.
At the panel, the producers indicated that with Lost now over four years old, financial backing was important and they were pleased to have received sponsorship going forward from the Dharma Initiative.
Hans Van Egan, Dharma’s head of recruiting was introduced to provide a highlight of the recruiting efforts. Mr. Egan indicated that Dharma was looking for top quality men and women and had undergone an extensive campaign of testing via ASRs (Aptitude Suitability and Readiness test). He indicated that to the crowd that the results of the recruitment effort were – Abysmal!
However they did find five individuals up to the standards of Dharma. These were introduced to the crowd and then taken back to the main floor to the Dharma booth for additional instruction.
Damon and Carlton then opened up the panel to questions form the audience. A summary of the Q&A follows but beware, these do contain a limited amount of spoiler information:
- Did the island move at all when the Hatch was blown up? No.
- What will be the fate of Jin and John Locke, will they be on the show in future episodes? Jin will be on the show in some form. You have not seen the last of these two characters. Death is a “relative” term.
- Out of the entire history of the series, which episode and what season was your favorite? Carlton’s favorites were The Constant and Season 1; while Damon likes the Season 1 finale and Season 4.
- There has never been a flashback episode for Rousseau. Will there be a flashback story for her? Damon indicated that we will see Rousseau’s story, however the term flashback would be disingenuous.
- On behalf of animal lovers, what happened to Vincent? Carlton chuckled indicating that he was expecting a question on what happened to the people left on the island, but not one about the dog. He did say however, that Vincent made it and will appear not only in Season 5, but to the end of the series as well.
- Will Kate and Sawyer see each other again? This received quite a chuckle from the crowd as Matthew Fox (Jack) had just made a surprise appearance and joined the panel. Damon said yes Kate and Sawyer would indeed see each other again.
- How old is Richard Alpert and how many toes does he have? Carlton confirmed that Richard is quite old and we will learn about him and his background in the very near future. He will be shown barefoot at that time.
Just about at that time, one of the successful Dharma recruits, Dan Bronson, burst onto stage interrupting the discussion. He was visibly upset saying that after 4 seasons the crowd deserved “some freaking answers”. He held a video recorded up and demanded to have its content shown to the audience. After a brief commotion, the lights dimmed and his video of his recent time in the Dharma both was shown:
Following the unnerving details, which only led to even more questions for the stunned audience, Hans Van Egan rushed on stage yelling that the executive producers had made a mockery of his organization. Egan left in a flurry saying that he was pulling Dharma’s sponsorship of the Lost television series.
And with that, the panel discussion ended! You can watch the video of the entire panel recorded by another fan here.
From San Diego at Comic-Con International, namaste to as sl-LOST members and readers.
