LOST Season 5: “The Year of Sawyer”
January 9, 2009 by Robin Parrish
Lost executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse are claiming that Season 5 is going to be a big one for everyone’s favorite sarcastic southerner, as portrayed by actor Josh Holloway. “We really feel it’s the year of Sawyer,” says Lindelof. “He’s really stepping up in a major way.”
According to the Detroit Free Press, Cuse calls Season 5 “compelling” and Lindelof calls it “groovy,” when asked to describe the upcoming season in one word. Perhaps most intriguing of all, the power writing duo are determined to not tread water in this next-to-last season of the show. Says Cuse: “What we don’t want to do in season five is basically stand around sort of shifting from one foot to another waiting for the last season of the show. Like it or not, we decided to take some chances this year and be bold in our storytelling and we’re willing to accept the consequences of that.”

Speed Paintings of LOST’s Locke & Sawyer
January 7, 2009 by Robin Parrish
For your viewing pleasure today, I present to you these amazing (and surprisingly entertaining) videos depicting artist Nico di Mattia’s digital paintings. di Mattia has done digital portraits of many popular TV characters, including Lost’s Sawyer and John Locke, which you can watch below. He claims that these portraits took about three hours to create, but the videos show them in just 4 to 5 minutes. It’s pretty cool.
John Locke:
Sawyer:
More of his work is available to view at his website. I particularly like his Optimus Prime, but then, I’m a geek, so of course I do.
Ben knows & Sawyer leads
January 2, 2009 by Robin Parrish
The newest issue of TV Guide (January 5-11, 2009 - “2009 Preview”) contains a quick Q&A with Michael Emerson (Benjamin Linus) about the upcoming Season 5 and the future of his character. A few excerpts:
- When asked about how many of the big answers Ben knows, Emerson responds, “He knows all about the game or battle that he is involved in with Charles Widmore, and I think when the final solution comes at the end of the series, the audience will know as much as Ben does. What are they playing for? World domination? Or perhaps something more abstract.
- Jack found out in the Season 4 finale that some “very bad things” happened on the island after the Oceanic Six left. Emerson’s hint: “Something that Ben did went really wrong.” (My money is on his spinning of the frozen wheel.)
In the “Breaking News” section of the same issue of TVG, there’s a note about Sawyer’s role in the season to come. “I’ve been very busy this season, in a very different way than you’ve seen [Sawyer] before,” says actor Josh Holloway. He goes on to confirm that Sawyer will be taking on more of a “heroic leader” role for those on the island, now that Jack and Kate are both gone, and Locke is no longer part of the group.

222 Dudes
December 16, 2008 by Robin Parrish
Ever wonder how many times Hurley has spoken the word “Dude” on Lost? The answer, according to the following video, is two hundred and twenty-two. So far. Every single one of them (along with a few non-Hurley “Dude”s) is captured in this video, to comical — and surprisingly entertaining — effect.
For added fun, after the jump you’ll find a couple of videos that feature every one of Sawyer’s many nicknames for his fellow castaways.
New Season 5 promotional pictures
December 8, 2008 by Robin Parrish
Lyly Ford Blog turned up ten new promotional pictures for Season Five. The pics are individual profile shots that match the cast shots from the Season Five poster (that “Destiny Calls” one you’ve probably seen a dozen times by now), which were obviously Photoshopped together to create the poster. Here’s your chance to see each character image from that poster solo, if that strikes your fancy. Note that these are not official ABC images, but instead appear to be the cut-and-paste (but still very professional looking) concoction of a TV network in Brazil, using the Destiny Calls poster as source material. But they still turn up a few interesting tidbits…
The links and some commentary after the jump. Read more
Eggtown Uncut Scene ‘Kate and Sawyer’
August 29, 2008 by Nikki Katz
During the Lost Season 4 Finale we saw Sawyer tell Kate something in the helicopter before he jumped. Kristin with E!Online checked with her sources and was told that the writers are “saving that secret for later on.”
According to one insider who works on the show, Sawyer’s conversation wasn’t in the script!! He just said something …
So don’t put too much faith in the “What Sawyer Said” videos currently playing on YouTube (The one above says that Sawyer whispered “I have a daughter in Alabama, you need to find her, tell her I’m sorry“).
Only Damon and Carlton know the whole truth!
Josh Holloway recently spilled some information on the Lost Season 4 Season Finaleand Sawyer’s role and desires.
