LOST season5 the interview with darlton

Rich in mythology and character development, and tantalizingly complex, Lost is not something to be watched passively. Throughout its five years, the ABC series has brilliantly weaved a human drama about plane-crash survivors on a mysterious island into a Byzantine tableau. We’ve witnessed smoke monsters and polar bears, unearthed a bygone scientific initiative, met the native inhabitants, and sidled up to a four-toed statue and a hydrogen bomb named Jughead. There have been flash-forwards, time travel, meditations on faith and destiny and redemption, literary and pop-culture references, and the occasional Latin phrase. What’s more, all of these bizarre components are all somehow connected. The show’s intricate and cryptic details have sent many a rabid fan to reference books and online chat groups in an effort to unlock the show’s secrets.

But even for those who aren’t content to parse through the myriad clues to find out what it all means, Lost, while epic in scope, is also intimate in its relationships. The overarching story can be incredibly dizzying and confounding as it travels around the world and through time and back again, but its writers (including executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof, or “Darlton,” as they’re called on message boards) take care to keep it rooted solidly in its characters—who, over the show’s duration, have grown as rich and deep as the mythology that surrounds them.

And this fifth season—which featured a return to the island for those who had been rescued and erratic time travel—was not only enthralling; it was satisfying. The energy intensified as the series began answering integral questions, ramping up acceleration and purpose as the show barreled toward its sixth and final year.

The Lost Interview with François Chau

Here an Interview with Francois Chau

How was your role on Lost first presented to you? Did you also think you were just Marvin Candle appearing once in an orientation film or did you know you would get a more important role later on?
I believed that the character “Marvin Candle” was just going to appear once in the orientation video. There was no indication that it was going to be anything more than that.

When you found out that your character would become more than just a narrator of orientation films, what was your reaction?
Of course I was very happy when my character broke out of the orientation videos. It was great to have some interaction with other characters.

From an actor’s point of view, how do you approach a role such as Pierre Chang? Seeing as you didn’t know his real name for three seasons, how did you create a back story for him?
From an actor’s point of view, it was easier in the first 3 seasons to play the character because he was just an image in the videos. I was basically doing a strait forward educational video. I knew there was something more mysterious about the character, but as an actor, you can’t play that. The lucky thing for me was that the viewers came up with their own ideas about the character.

How would you describe Pierre Chang?
I think Pierre Chang is at his best when he is in his own element at his labs, doing his work. He is not comfortable in social situations. Let’s just say he is not really a “people person”.

Why did Dharma select Pierre Chang to present the orientation films?
I don’t know yet why Dr. Chang was selected to do the videos. Let’s hope we all find out soon.

Of all the orientation films we’ve seen, which one was your favorite to film?
I don’t really have a favorite, but if anything, I think I like the first one.

Is it ever going to be explained why Dr. Chang used all those aliases?
I hope we all get to know why he uses all those different names before the end of the show.

Why do his aliases all refer to candles? (Halliwax, Wickmund, Candle)
Don’t know why all the names refer to candles. Maybe the writers are just having fun.

Chang used an alias in every orientation film he presented, why did he just say his name was Dr. Chang to Jack?
I guess he tells Jack his real name because the aliases are only for the videos.

Do you know how Pierre loses/lost his arm?
I do know how Pierre looses his arm, and soon, so will you.

Did the producers ever hint to you that Chang would have a connection to a main character?
No hint about any connection to a main character.

When did you find out your baby was Miles?
Learned about Miles when I got the script for that episode.

Who do you enjoy working with most on the set?
I liked working with everyone so far. Working with “Miles” and “Hurley” was a lot of fun.

Can we expect to see much more of you in season 5? Have you even been approached for season 6?
You will see “Dr. Chang” more at the end of season 5. Hopefully, he will make more appearances in season 6.

What is Chang’s order of command in DHARMA? First many people thought Chang would be the leader, but now it seems that Horace takes a leading role.
It seemed like Chang was in charge, but maybe he is only in charge of his own section, and everyone has to answer to “Ann Arbor”.

When did Chang arrive on the island and how did he get recruited?
Don’t know how he was recruited, but it seems that he had been working on the island for a few years already when the gang arrives in 1977.

Are we going to see a Chang flashback once? Or even a Chang centric episode?
Don’t know if we’ll get a Chang centric episode. It would be great.

Who filmed the Dharma Booth video shown on Comic Con 2008? The video in which Pierre implied the past can be changed. Did Daniel Faraday film it?
I’m told that you can find out who filmed the ComicCon video in the DVD extras for season 5 when it is released.

Have you filmed more orientation films for upcoming episodes?
Have not yet filmed anymore orientation videos, but this is “LOST”, so who knows?

Thank you so much for having this interview with me, is there something you want to say to all the fans?
Thanks for being a fan of the show!

A chat with Carlton and Damon

lyly ford — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 22:17:11 +0000

It’s been a long, strange ride over the course of five seasons, but if you’ve followed “Lost” all along from the very beginning of the series, then Season 5 has almost certainly felt like a pay-off for all of the waiting you’ve endured. Indeed, the staff of Bullz-Eye has voted “Lost” into the top spot on our bi-annual TV Power Rankings for the first time in the history of the show. It would seem that this accomplishment pleased executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof, given that they cheerily agreed to chat with us about the show. It will probably come as no surprise to you that they weren’t willing to unabashedly offer up spoilers about what viewers can expect to see in the weeks ahead, but they did provide us with a few teases here and there, along with clarification on how the show settled into a groove after declaring its end date and their picks for their personal favorite episodes of Season 5.
