Approaching Lost

Terry O’Quinn Interview with TV Guide

A recent interview with Terry O’Quinn in TV Guide:

TVGuide.com: We’re going to find out why Locke was in a wheelchair. How did that reveal rate with you, and how do you think fans will take to it?

O’Quinn: I thought it was pretty good. To me it was never about how he ended up in the wheelchair, but the simple fact that he was in it and that he was released from it [after the crash]. But then people seemed to think that it was a big deal how it happened, and I was afraid that the revelation would be pretty pedestrian and might be a disappointment — kind of like sex, you know? [Laughs]

TVGuide.com: Are the circumstances of his paralysis tied into another castaway’s backstory?

O’Quinn: I don’t know if that’s the case or not…. But I think [the reveal] is pretty spectacular. I don’t think people will be disappointed. It stretches that suspension of disbelief just like so many things on Lost do, but if you’re willing to go along with it, it’s pretty cool.

TVGuide.com: Yeah, one of Lost’s first “wow” moments was in that Australia travel agency, when we first saw that he was in the wheelchair, so it’d be neat to come full circle on that story.

O’Quinn: Yeah. I think there are a couple of “wow” moments, a couple of big moments in this episode.
