Elizabeth Mitchell talks Lost & V

Actress Elizabeth Mitchell tells USA Today that her new show V may be a scifi drama, which has some mild similarities to Lost, but that’s where the resemblance ends.

“You can be a profoundly intelligent person and (Lost) can still confound you. (V) probably won’t be as involved, but like Lost, there will be things dropped here and there, and to keep on top of that, you’ll have to figure out more and more and more of it…”

She also reaffirms something we already know: that ABC won’t be showing any new footage to promote Season 6. “It’s going to be a complete blackout,” she says. “They’re not going to have any leaks or teasers.”

Comparing Lost’s Juliet Burke to V’s FBI Agent Erica Evans, she says:

The thing I loved about Juliet is that everything was just boiling away beneath the surface, and the thing that I love about Erica is that everything is just boiling away on the surface,” Mitchell says. “She’s quick to be irritated, she’s quick to be angry, but she also has those moments of thoughtfulness, where she’s studying, which I also enjoy because that’s how I am as a person.”
