Lost-TV was privileged once again to talk to Damon Lindelof at the 2005 San Diego Comic Con. Damon found time for us at the end of the autograph signing at the Inkworks booth. And joining us as well were Bryan Burk and Carlton Cuse.

Lost-TV: We have a question! The British promo for Lost-TV is the oddest thing! Whose idea was that?

Damon: Dave La Chappelle, who did the promos, he just directed this documentary called “Rise.” He’s a photographer. He was commissioned by Channel 4 UK to do whatever he wanted... It was his idea. We didn’t know anything. He sent us some concept art, and we said, “Wow! This is very European!” Very artsy and cool and people dancing and ethereal. What we liked about it was that it really focused on the characters. And it wasn’t like the US promos where are plane crash! Explosion! Weird monster!

My wife LOVED the first one. She thought it was so WEIRD and romantic.

Lost-TV: Are we still going to see flashbacks in Season two?

Bryan: Yes.

Lost-TV: We are? How about post crash flashbacks? People thinking back to stuff we might not have seen on the island when we were focused elsewhere.

Bryan: You never know what you’re going to see on the island (grins knowingly

Lost-TV: Oh, one of our guys wants to know, what was the purpose of introducing Leslie Arzt and then blowing up him?

Damon: What was the purpose? I think it was exactly that. Just the idea that first off we felt there needed to be a character who was representative of all those people who mill around in the background and then to give that character a shocking and heroic death that was very surprising.. That was the purpose.

Lost-TV: And somebody else wants to know was the marshal really a marshal?

Damon Was the marshal really a marshal? I’m gonna go ahead and say yes.

Bryan: At least he plays one on TV.

Damon: I don’t want to be vague in that instance. He is actually a marshal.

Lost-TV: And then we have, ‘Are there eyes in the smoke?’ We have a lot of people thinking there are eyes in the smoke and they have done screen caps.

Damon: A lot of people saw some interesting things in the smoke, and I would say sort of like a Rorschach test. Whatever you see in there is what you see in there.

Bryan: There is nothing on that show that is an accident.

Lost-TV: The Black Rock. Is the ship the Black Rock or is it a red herring for another Black Rock?

Damon: That’s the Black Rock.

Lost-TV: Ok, mo more Black Rock.

Damon: Even when we answer mysteries people say, “ But…but..”

Bryan: There could be the blacker rock.

Lost-TV: So how many scripts do you have finished so far for Season Two?

Damon: Zero. We start filming season two in two weeks.

Lost-TV: You know where you’re going, you just don’t have anything written yet?

Damon: We’re writing, we just don’t have anything completed yet.

Bryan: We find it more challenging (not to have finished scripts)

Lost-TV: But you love that challenge!!

Damon: Put our backs against the wall is the only way it works.

Lost-TV: We won’t keep you any longer, just a picture for the site. You guys are becoming rock gods!

Damon: Well….

Bryan: Damon’s already a rock god.

Lost-TV: Xander wants to say hello!

Damon: Is he ever going to come to the States?

(We are introduced to Carlton Cuse and tell him about Lost-TV-TV as the first Lost-TV fan site on the ‘net.

Carlton: I’m a non internet executive producer. I don’t go on the websites.

And with that we thanked them for their time and we look forward to more Q&A with Damon in the future!!
