"A transcript is a retrospective written record of dialogue, and like a script (a prospective record) may include other scene information such as props or actions. In the case of a transcript of a film or television episode, ideally it is a verbatim record. Because closed-captioning is usually written separately, its text may have errors and does not necessarily reflect the true Canonical transcript. Jorge Garcia: Hey, this is Jorge Garcia, and you\u2019re listening to the Official Lost Podcast, hosted by ABC.com. [Opening Lost Theme] Kris White: Welcome to a special summer edition of the Official Lost Podcast, hosted by ABC.com. Just recently, we traveled down to San Diego for Comic Con, 2006, where we gathered a lot of fan theories, cast interviews, and other video content, that we\u2019ll be sharing with you in the upcoming weeks. Today, we\u2019re bringing you a highlight from the Q&A section at Comic Con, where our panelists include executive producers Damon Lindelof, Carlton Cuse, and Bryan Burk, and joined by cast members Jorge Garcia and Daniel Dae Kim. But, before we go to the panel, don\u2019t forget to check ABC.com for additional content, including a compilation of fan theories gathered at Comic Con and some video highlights taken from the panel, and, as promised, as we get closer to the Season 3 launch of Lost, we\u2019ll have a video podcast with Damon and Carlton answering your fan questions. Until then, enjoy. Damon Lindelof: Our first year here was two years ago, when we premiered the show here. [Crowd cheers] And it was about half full\u2026 and it\u2019s so surreal to see all the way back. And we can\u2019t thank you enough for all your support. Thank you guys for coming out. [Crowd cheers] Panel Host: You know, there are a lot of amazing theories about the plotlines, and about the characters\u2026 a lot of stuff on the internet. I\u2019m just curious\u2014what\u2019s the strangest theory each one of you has heard, either about a plotline or your character, on the internet? Carlton Cuse: Um\u2026 I think the strangest theory is that it\u2019s all taking place in the dog Vincent\u2019s mind. Damon Lindelof: It is also the correct theory. [Laughs] You heard it here first. Jorge Garcia: I once heard one that said that Hurley was Claire\u2019s baby grown up, that was on the Island ahead of time. [Crowd laughs] Damon Lindelof: That\u2019s good. I started that theory. Panel Host: Are you guys ready to start asking questions? Go right ahead. Damon Lindelof: We will try to be as non-evasive as possible. Fan 1: Fantastic. Hey, guys, thanks for making the most intelligent show on television. [Crowd cheers] Question on the mythology. I mean the Hatch, DHARMA, Hanso, the Others, the backstories\u2026 how much are you guys making it on the fly, how much of it is in a secret plan locked in a drawer, and how much do the actors get in on what\u2019s going to happen? Damon Lindelof: [Sarcastic] We have never been asked that before. [Panel laughs] It\u2019s quite honestly shocking. I think we should probably start with Jorge and Daniel, because as the actors getting the script, I\u2019d be curious to feel what was their impression of how far ahead we plan it? Jorge Garcia: Well, we get a script about two to three days before we start shooting it, and that\u2019s pretty much when we find out what happens in that episode. Carlton Cuse: Now, we actually do sit down, we do actually have an endpoint for the show, we have an overarching mythology for the show\u2026 we sit down before each season, as we did for this year, and we worked with all the writers, and we sort of planned out what our whole plan was for this season would be\u2026 but within that, there\u2019s a lot of room for improvisation, and we feed back a lot on what the actors do, and what relationships develop. So, there\u2019s sort of an overarching plan, but we also write the shows episode-by-episode and try to keep it organic by reacting to what we see on screen. Damon Lindelof: You know, the rule of thumb is, we never ask a question on the show, y\u2019know, specifically, a mythology question, without knowing the answer to it\u2026 or else, we\u2019re stumbling around blind. Y\u2019know, where we are traditionally, the more organic the characters, the way they relate to one another\u2026 y\u2019know, sometimes, we want the characters be enemies of one another, in the case of Season 1, Jin and Michael, Daniel and Harold\u2019s characters, were supposed to be sworn enemies for the majority of the season\u2026 but we loved the chemistry of the actors, and we decided it makes much more sense for them to buddy up and be friends. So, you take a guy, who basically attacked another guy in the fourth episode of the year, and then, by the end, they\u2019re on a raft together. So, you have to kind of look to what\u2019s happening, and write to that as well. When it comes to the DHARMA Initiative and the deeper mythological foundation of the Island; the Others, specifically\u2026 you kind of have to know what you\u2019re doing, and write to that, and hope that you won\u2019t [bleep] up. [Crowd laughs] Fan 2: Hi, guys. Thank you so much. Jorge, I just have to say, I love you\u2026 [Crowd cheers] You kicked Josh\u2019s ass, and it was great TV, so I thank you for that. [Crowd cheers] So, my question is: because of how huge your internet following is, you guys pretty much have immediate access to a ton of fan feedback. And I was just wondering, how much influence, if any, you feel that should have on the creative process. Carlton Cuse: You know, that has, it does have influence. We try not to get too influenced by it, but we\u2026 for instance, after Season 1, there was a lot of fan feedback that we didn\u2019t answer enough questions, so when we set out to write the finale for Season 2, that was very much in our minds, and we tried to answer more questions in the Season 2 finale, and that was in response to internet feedback. Damon Lindelof: But, now, you know, you find yourself in a situation at the end of Season 2\u2026 it was too mythologically dense, the show\u2019s getting maybe too complicated\u2026 and we have to sort of readjust again. So, the fans always determine the barometer. It\u2019s the Goldie Locks thing, where the porridge is either too hot or too cold, but it\u2019s never just right. And the fans are really there to tell us, to temperature gauge it, we\u2019re wrapped in our little cocoon on the show, and there\u2019s no one there to say \u201CStop! Go back.\u201D Um\u2026 other than the most loyal fans, who are on the net and also, writing their own stuff\u2026 Carlton Cuse: And definitely the fans led to the new scheduling, and led to an enormous impact. Not with us only, but also with ABC. So, it was because of you guys, and complaining about the repeats, that ABC scheduled the show in this new two-pod configuration that we\u2019re incredibly excited about. Now when Lost is on, it\u2019s on, when it\u2019s not on, it\u2019s not on, there won\u2019t be any confusion, there won\u2019t be waits for weeks\u2026 and we\u2019re designing\u2026 [Crowd cheers] And we\u2019re designing the show in two distinct pods; the fall pod will sort of be like a little mini-series\u2026 and you know, it\u2019s going to be great. Damon Lindelof: Thanks a lot. Fan 3: Hi, everybody. Thanks for coming. This is actually my first panel. Damon Lindelof: Wow. Congratulations. Fan 3: Ok. So, you guys are going to basically hate me, but\u2026 First season? Emmy-winning, awesome. Second season? Not nominated for best drama series. Were you surprised? Because I wasn\u2019t. Damon Lindelof: Wow. [Crowd \u201COoo\u201Ds, mixed reactions, some boos] Carlton Cuse: Whoah. Damon Lindelof: It\u2019s ok, it\u2019s ok. [Carlton laughs] Fan 3: No, honestly! I wanna know. Are you surprised? Damon Lindelof: Uh\u2026 we were\u2026 disappointed. And yes, a little bit surprised. In our estimation, we were very proud of Season 2. [Crowd cheers] Was it a \u201Cdifferent\u201D show than it was in Season 1? Absolutely. And Season 3 is going to be much different than Season 1 or 2. The show\u2026 it\u2019s a new pilot every year\u2026 and although, I\u2019m very eager to hear why you weren\u2019t surprised, the idea that we were going into more sci-fi territory, that the show was going to be darker\u2026 we\u2019re going into the Hatch, introducing the sort of DHARMA Initiative, Hanso Foundation of it all, etc\u2026 the reality of it is, y\u2019know, Emmy-voters, is not necessarily a sci-fi crowd. For us, and this is not just throwing shout-outs to shows we love\u2026 why is Battlestar Galactica not in there either? That\u2019s surprising. [Crowd cheers] I mean, why did they get no nominations? At least we got nine. I think that tells us something about y\u2019know, what the tastes are. We can\u2019t turn around and now say\u2026 screw the Academy, because they gave it to us last year. So, we feel really proud of Season 1. We want the drama from Season 1 to mean something. So we have to sort of take our licks and y\u2019know\u2026 we don\u2019t write the show to get Emmys. We write the show because we think it\u2019s cool and we want you guys to like it\u2026 [Crowd cheers] And\u2026 that\u2019s pretty much, it. Fan 3: Thank you. Damon Lindelof: Ok. If anyone wants to know why she wasn\u2019t surprised, she\u2019s sitting in the front row, third seat over from the right. [Crowd laughs] Fan 4: Hey guys, for the record, I was shocked that you guys didn\u2019t get nominated. [Crowd cheers] Coming on the screen, it was not good\u2026 nearly woke up my neighbors at 5 in the morning. They were not happy. Anyways\u2026 Um\u2026 the first season, it took place during 48 days. Second season, was like 23? Do you guys have any idea of how long, for the entire series, how many days it\u2019ll take place in? Carlton Cuse: You know, days? We never actually counted days. I mean, by the end of the show, hopefully we\u2019ll have covered a lot of history, going back and forth\u2026 I mean, obviously, we saw that statue, that statue is kind of old? Damon Lindelof: At least 50 years old. [Crowd laughs] Carlton Cuse: At least\u2026 And probably, a little older? Damon Lindelof: Maybe, maybe. Carlton Cuse: And that was sort of\u2026 that, that was a signpost that the history of the Island may be a lot of um\u2026 more extensive than we\u2019ve already dealt with on the show\u2026 so I think, by the time the show is done, we\u2019ll have covered a lot of time. And um\u2026 in terms of how many days on the Island specifically, I dunno? 117? Damon Lindelof: It\u2019s interesting that you should ask about time because\u2026 you know\u2026 you\u2019re making a basic assumption that they\u2019ve been there, y\u2019know, as long as they think they\u2019ve been there. [Crowd murmurs, someone says \u201COh, no.\u201D] I would say by the end of Season 3\u2026 that very different idea\u2026 Carlton Cuse: Stop right there, Damon, stop right there. Damon Lindelof: Well, I was just\u2026 Carlton Cuse: Stop right there. Nope, nope, no. Panel Host: Damon, the actors looked surprised when you said that! Damon Lindelof: Ok. Well, they came! They waited in line\u2026 [Crowd cheers] Fan 4: Thank you very much. Carlton Cuse: Sure. Thank you. Panel Host: Damon, the actors actually looked surprised when you said that. [Laughs] Damon Lindelof: Yeah\u2026 they\u2019re just acting, though. [Laughs, crowd laughs] They know. Fan 5: Hi. I absolutely love the show, I just need to get that out of the way. Carlton Cuse: Thank you. Fan 5: Anyways, in a recent interview that Carlton did with Ausiello, he said that Season 3 was going to be more relationship based? And with all the feuding that\u2019s battled back and forth between Skate and Jate, I was wondering if you were considering just getting all of them together and making \u201CSk-jate\u201D? [Laughs] \u2026And if that doesn\u2019t work? Then I wanna see \u201CHate\u201D, with Hurley and Kate. Damon Lindelof: Wow. [Crowd cheers] Carlton Cuse: Jorge got very excited about that. He\u2019s trying to play it off now, but uh\u2026 Damon Lindelof: Would that be \u201CKurley\u201D? Jorge Garcia: No, I think she said it would be \u201CHate\u201D. Damon Lindelof: Oh. I like it. Jorge Garcia: But, you never know, that might be a dangerous thing for Kate, because um\u2026 the last girlfriend\u2026 [Crowd laughs] Carlton Cuse: Didn\u2019t go so well\u2026 Jorge Garcia: It didn\u2019t. Tragic. Carlton Cuse: No, we\u2019re definitely having more romance on the show this year. It was something we tried to get to last year, but the storytelling didn\u2019t\u2026 didn\u2019t quite get to where we wanted to get to, so\u2026 yeah. That is coming up. And there\u2019s a good reason why Jorge and Daniel are sitting next to each other. [Crowd cheers and laughs] Damon Lindelof: And I\u2019m the one giving stuff away! Jorge Garcia: [Scottish accent] Get that \u201CJurley\u201D boat a-sailin\u2019! Fan 6: First, I wanted to say, that Daniel, you\u2019re one of my favorite actors, I loved you on Angel, I loved you on Lost\u2026 you\u2019re great. [Crowd cheers] Daniel Dae Kim: Thank you. That\u2019s very kind of you, thank you. Fan 6: My question is\u2026 Matthew Fox\u2019s character was supposed to die off in the first episode. Now you said that you have this \u201Cgrand plan\u201D. Has that affected the overall show, him living? Damon Lindelof: Y\u2019know, at the\u2026 obviously, Jack living is a\u2026 fairly big deal. [Crowd laughs] But um, at the time that that decision was being made, we were probably only y\u2019know, ten days into the development of the show. The conversations that started happening about the history of the Island, and what the final episode of the show was going to be, about who lived and who died\u2026 the sort of macro questions\u2026 didn\u2019t really start until we were actually shooting the Pilot. As most of you know, from the moment that we sat down and started talking about Lost to the moment that we finished the two-hour Pilot, was roughly 11 weeks. So it was sort of like, \u201CShould Jack die?\u201D \u201CNo, Jack shouldn\u2019t die.\u201D \u201CHey, we should have a pregnant girl!\u201D [Crowd laughs] So, all of those conversations were happening, and then once we were set and going to Hawaii and shooting the Pilot, as Daniel and Jorge could probably tell you\u2026 more so, with Daniel shooting the Pilot, we pulled the actors aside on the set and basically said \u201CHere\u2019s something that you should know about your relationship\u2026 This is from before the crash, this is what\u2019s going on.\u201D Yunjin needed to know that she spoke English. And that Daniel\u2026 this was a secret that she was keeping from her husband. Even though\u2026 we didn\u2019t do that episode until\u2026 I guess that was the fourth episode of Season 1. So, when we had the information, we knew it. If Josh was reading a piece of paper and had an emotional reaction, he sort of needed to know what he was reading. So, as far as the flashbacks go, and the character depth, we knew a lot more in the Pilot, but we were still constructing the show. Carlton Cuse: And I would just add one other thing\u2026 who\u2019s to say Jack isn\u2019t dead? [Crowd \u201CAw\u201Ds] Damon Lindelof: I am. He\u2019s alive! He\u2019s kidding! Carlton Cuse: Kidding, yeah. Yeah. Damon Lindelof: For nowww\u2026 Carlton Cuse: Or not! [Crowd laughs] Jack Glatfelter: Hey guys. Damon Lindelof: Hi. Jack Glatfelter: I was just curious if next season, we were going to finally see the underwater hatch? Damon Lindelof: The underwater hatch? Jack Glatfelter: The underwater hatch. Damon Lindelof: What is\u2026 what is this underwater hatch of which you speak? [Crowd laughs] Jack Glatfelter: You know that cable? Carlton Cuse: The cable\u2026! Ahh. Damon Lindelof: Oh, that\u2019s interesting. Jack Glatfelter: They went to the right? Maybe swam out to check it out? Damon Lindelof: Well, I would not deny that there is an underwater hatch. Carlton Cuse: Yeah, I wouldn\u2019t confirm it, but\u2026 [Someone cheers, crowd laughs] Damon Lindelof: Bryan? What are your thoughts? Bryan Burk: I\u2019m\u2026 I don\u2019t speak English. [Crowd laughs] Damon Lindelof: Are they\u2026 are they acting surprised about the underwater hatch? Poker face, they got it locked now. Jack Glatfelter: Thanks a lot, guys. Damon Lindelof: Our pleasure. [Jorge claps] Carlton Cuse: [Laughs] You\u2019re applauding us for being evasive? [Laughs] Jorge Garcia: No, no, I knew that question was coming. [Crowd laughs] Damon Lindelof: He always does. Jay Glatfelter: I have a question. There\u2019s a guy I know who thinks something\u2026 Damon Lindelof: He\u2019s a liar. [Crowd laughs] Jay Glatfelter: He, he\u2026 Damon Lindelof: Before we proceed. Are you that guy? [Crowd laughs] Jay Glatfelter: No. No, it\u2019s a guy I know\u2026 Damon Lindelof: Ok\u2026 we can talk honestly. [Crowd laughs] Jay Glatfelter: It\u2019s not me, I swear! It\u2019s a friend of mine\u2026 Damon Lindelof: Do you like-him like-him? Or\u2026 do you just like him\u2026 [Crowd laughs] What if I were to say, I would give this guy a hundred thousand dollars? [Crowd laughs] Jay Glatfelter: Well then, it would be me. Damon Lindelof: Then would it be you? [Crowd laughs] Jay Glatfelter: But um, he thinks that\u2026 Rose and Bernard worked for DHARMA? [Some laughs] So\u2026 I\u2019m just trying to get the answers right now so I can stick it in this guy\u2019s face. [Crowd laughs] Does Rose and Bernard work for DHARMA? Carlton Cuse: One moment please. [Panel pretends to confer for a second, crowd laughs] No. Jay Glatfelter: That\u2019s all I want. [Crowd applauds] Damon Lindelof: Take that, GUY! Carlton Cuse: Yeah! GO GET HIM! Damon Lindelof: That\u2019s ridiculous! [Crowd laughs] Rachel Blake: I have a question. Hello? Jorge Garcia: Very specific person in mind\u2026 Damon Lindelof: Hi. Carlton Cuse: Hi. Rachel Blake: Have you no shame? [Some crowd members shout \"RACHEL!\" and scream in delight] Damon Lindelof: What? Rachel Blake: [Slower, for emphasis] Have. You. No. Shame? Carlton Cuse: Well, I have a little shame\u2026 do you have shame, Damon? Damon Lindelof: I have no shame. Rachel Blake: Don't be cute. Tell us what you know about the Hanso Foundation. [Crowd erupts into applause] Damon Lindelof: The Hanso Foundation is a uh...is a...a philanthropic organization that we have co-opted for the purposes of Lost, we stuck it at the end of the orientation films, because we thought it would be fun... Rachel Blake: Those films are real! We deserve the truth. Damon Lindelof: No, no. Carlton Cuse: We came up with those films...we're writers... Rachel Blake: You're liars! [Crowd laughs] You're promoting them as some force for good, but they're not! Damon Lindelof: Look, um, you know how Dan Brown uses Opus Dei in The DaVinci Code... that\u2019s how we\u2026 Rachel Blake: Oh my God. Okay, Stop. Since you claim not to know, why don't I fill you in? How about the name Joop, a 105 year old orangutan? [Crowd cheers] How about a fire in Iceland? Do you know anything about\u2026 [Off camera, panel is snickering and pretending to confer.] Stop. Stop that! Do you know anything about organ harvesting in Africa? How about the deaths of Hugh McIntyre and Darla Taft, from the Global Welfare Consortium? Damon Lindelof: There are other people waiting to ask questions, we have no connection... Rachel Blake: I'm sure that they want me to ask these questions. [Crowd cheers] Damon Lindelof: We have no connection with the Hanso Foundation. Rachel Blake: That's a lie! They run ads on your show. They're putting money in ABC's pockets to prove themselves as this great philanthropic organization?! Damon Lindelof: Well, I mean Maybelline runs ads on our shows and we're not part of the \"International Makeup Global Consortium\". [Crowd laughs] Rachel Blake: Stop it! You're protecting him. You're protecting a very real, very dangerous organization. Damon Lindelof: Look, it's not real! It's a television show! There is no Alvar Hanso! Rachel Blake: It is real! The Hanso Foundation is real! The DHARMA Initiative is real! Thomas Werner Mittelwerk is real, and what he's doing in Sri Lanka right now, he's doing terrible things\u2026 that's real. Where is Alvar Hanso? Damon Lindelof: He's an actor. Carlton Cuse: He's in a window in our TV show. Rachel Blake: Alvar Hanso is real and I am living proof of that and my name is Rachel Blake and I am real! [Crowd roars into applause] And if you want the truth, you will go to hansoexposed.com! [Rachel turns to face crowd and shows her shirt with the website URL on it, then she turns to face stage again and points to the individual panel members] You have blood on your hands! You have blood on your hands and you have blood on your hands and YOU DISGUST ME! YOU DISGUST- [Rachel is led out by security, who appear to be young females, crowd is cheering and applauding] Damon Lindelof: Thank you, thanks. Carlton Cuse: That was lovely. Wow. Damon Lindelof: Thank you. That was, that was great. Carlton Cuse: Jorge, what did you do to piss them off? Jorge Garcia: There are some tough looking security guards here, huh? Damon Lindelof: Yeah, aren\u2019t they? [Laughs] Carlton Cuse: Wow. Ok. Damon Lindelof: Alrighty then. Panel Host: Should we keep going? Damon Lindelof: Next question. Carlton Cuse: Wow. Fan 9: Next question, wow, that\u2019s not going to be an easy one to follow up. Carlton Cuse: Well, maybe if you take your shirt off, it\u2019ll\u2026 [to male fan] Fan 9: No, no, no. Um, I\u2019m interested\u2026 first of all, thank you guys, I enjoy the show, very entertaining, thank you very much\u2026 um, I\u2019ve been watching a lot of theories, and we\u2019ve all heard theories about they\u2019re dead, they\u2019re alive, they\u2019re in purgatory\u2026 all of that. And within the last week, I\u2019ve come across something that I\u2019ve never seen before on my own, which is, some theories behind \u201CThe Land of Oz\u201D. And I was wondering what kind of um\u2026 [Crowd laughs] Check it out yourselves. I was wondering, how steeped are you in the 100 years or so we have in Oz? Damon Lindelof: If you play Pink Floyd\u2019s \u201CDark Side of the Moon\u201D from the beginning of our Pilot\u2026 from the very first appearance of the Lost opening title\u2026 just as the \u201CO\u201D is approaching the screen, if you start it there\u2026 it\u2019ll completely sync up. [Crowd laughs] Fan 9: So, no coincidence to the Land of Oz being an invisible island in the Pacific, or that compass roses don\u2019t work on the Island? Damon Lindelof: There are obviously Oz references on the show. Henry Gale is Dorothy\u2019s uncle Henry. And obviously, he had a balloon that came there. And there have been other Oz references on the show that have been either incredibly meaningful, or uh\u2026 they don\u2019t mean anything at all. As to sitting here, and basically saying \u201CYou\u2019ve cracked it.\u201D Uh\u2026 Carlton Cuse: Not likely that\u2019s going to happen. Damon Lindelof: Yeah, I don\u2019t think that\u2019s going to happen. But uh\u2026 Fan 9: Not looking for that. Carlton Cuse: It\u2019s an interesting theory. Damon Lindelof: Yes. It is indeed. Fan 9: Thank you guys. Damon Lindelof: Well done. Thank you. [Scattered applause] Fan 10: Thanks for coming out\u2026 my question is\u2026 I know that the Lord of the Rings cast all got tattoos that are the same\u2026 have the Lost cast thought of doing something you know, in unison? To kind of cement the fact that you\u2019re like the greatest cast on right now\u2026 [Audience cheers] Jorge Garcia: Well, we haven\u2019t agreed on the design yet. We\u2019ve only agreed on placement. [Crowd and panel laugh] Fan 10: Thank you. Fan 11: I was wondering, what Sawyer nicknames can we expect in the future? [Jorge laughs] I was hoping for a Locke and Luther reference perhaps? Damon Lindelof: What was the second part? Fan 11: Sawyer could call Locke Lex Luther? Damon Lindelof: Yeah, that\u2019s sort of actually a good idea. Carlton Cuse: We have three writers that just sit around all day and come up with Sawyer\u2019s insults and nicknames. That\u2019s they\u2019re full time job. Damon Lindelof: There is an amazing feature, if I may give the DVD a shout-out on the Lost Season 2 DVD, where we have edited together every single insult that Sawyer has ever thrown out. [Crowd cheers] Carlton Cuse: It\u2019s astonishing when you hear them all together. Damon Lindelof: You can sit at home and play with your friends and try to figure out who he\u2019s talking to. [Jorge laughs] Fan 11: Thank you. Damon Lindelof: Thank you. Fan 12: I\u2019m a researcher who works with the spinal cord and internalization. I\u2019m just wondering if you\u2019ve already looked into the explanations for curing paralysis, and if we\u2019re going to see why John Locke is paralyzed, and coming up, maybe\u2026 how the Island is going to solve that in a realistic, slightly logical fashion. [Crowd laughs] Carlton Cuse: Everything but the last part. [Panel laughs] No, well, yeah\u2026 we are definitely going to be back in the world of um\u2026 Jack\u2019s role as a spinal surgeon this year. As well as\u2026 the mystery of Locke and why he\u2019s in the wheelchair is obviously a question that we have not yet answered, but we\u2019re not going to tell you exactly when, but we are going to explain that eventually. Damon Lindelof: You will know definitively. And one of the first things we talked about the very first time we came was\u2026 the sort of idea of the show dancing between the supernatural and actual science. And, as far as the Island\u2019s healing abilities, Locke\u2019s ability to walk, and the fact that Rose was cured\u2026 and many other sort of island mysteries, we\u2019re going to be\u2026 it\u2019s going to get a little scientific this year, which will be fairly cool. We want to be able to bounce between those sorts of ideas, between reality and fiction. So hopefully, you will be satisfied. Fan 12: Well, thank you very much, and from the scientific community, I appreciate it. Damon Lindelof: And we thank the scientific community. [Crowd laughs] Carlton Cuse: Good question. Damon Lindelof: It was a good question, I agree. Fan 13: I was wondering if you could tell us a little bit about the mobisodes, and in particular, will I need to get a new phone to see them? Carlton Cuse: Hm. Technically, I don\u2019t know if you\u2019ll need a new phone to see them, but\u2026 Damon Lindelof: I don\u2019t think so. I think the deal is with Verizon, and then they\u2019re partnering up with Sprint and other carriers, so if you have a phone that has vid-streaming capabilities, you\u2019ll be able to watch it, it\u2019s just a matter of\u2026 you might have to wait a day or two behind the people who have the first deal. But we don\u2019t wanna\u2026 we want all the fans of the show to be able to see it. And then, a week after they\u2019re available on phones, you\u2019ll be able to watch them on the net. So\u2026 [Crowd applauds] free of charge. Carlton Cuse: And, they\u2019re\u2026 our goal is to try to get them done so that they will fall in that period between our two pods of episodes. So they\u2019ll be leaving some content between the six episodes in the fall and the episodes they run in the spring. Panel Host: How many are you guys going to do? Damon Lindelof: The plan right now is to do thirteen. And they\u2019re very short, they\u2019re just a couple of minutes each but\u2026 I think when the fans see what it is\u2026 Everybody keeps saying \u201CWhat are the mobisodes, how is it going to work\u2026 you guys have just seen a little taste of it here, but we think it\u2019s really really cool. We didn\u2019t want to do anything\u2026 it\u2019s been really hard to get them off the ground, because we didn\u2019t want to do anything that was a waste of your time. Even two minutes, y\u2019know, if it\u2019s lame, who cares. So, we feel like\u2026 if you\u2019re going to take the time to download it and watch it, then it should give you something that, that the show is not giving you or enhances your involvement of the show\u2026 [At this point the audio transmission squelches and is abruptly interrupted and Rachel Blake is heard with a male saying \u201CIs this on?\u201D \u201CHurry up and just read the code.\u201D \u201COk, the code is \u2018V-I-X-7-Z-X-T-9-7\u2019, repeat, \u2018V-I-X-7-Z-X-T-9-7\u2019\u201D \u201CRachel, hurry up, go!\u201D \u201CGo, go, go!\u201D (This turns out to be just another glyph code for HansoExposed.com, as just another clue in TLE; it cut off Fan 14's question about where they got the inspiration for different characters)] Damon Lindelof: \u2026The, y\u2019know, in the case of different characters, Hurley didn\u2019t exist until J.J. saw Jorge in an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. [Crowd cheers] Y\u2019know, that show is on on a Sunday night, and he came on the next day and said, \u201CDid you watch Curb Your Enthusiasm last night?\u201D And I said, \u201CYeah. That was really funny\u201D He said, \u201CThat guy has to be on the show.\u201D So, the part didn\u2019t even exist\u2026 this is sort of in the spirit of Jack dying\u2026 So, Jorge, who could probably tell the story much more humorously\u2026 when we asked him to come in and read, there was no character Hurley. Is that\u2026 your recollection, sir? Jorge Garcia: Right, I read Sawyer\u2019s lines when I came in. [Crowd laughs] Uh\u2026 I didn\u2019t think I was up for Sawyer, it was just kind of to like give him a taste. And I guess I was kind of just chattin\u2019 it up. And then they\u2026 wrote the part for me, and\u2026 Damon Lindelof: You got the part. It didn\u2019t exist. Was written for you. Carlton Cuse: We tailor the\u2026 I think this is a very important fact about Lost from other television shows. We tailored the characters to the actors who we cast. So, as we are looking to add new characters as last year this year, we sort of have a general notion of what the characters we\u2019d like should be, and then as we find the actors we like, we then start filling in the specific details to fit that person. I mean, Adewale was a great example. We knew we wanted to introduce an African character and we\u2026 our initial notion was that he was going to be a priest, but then after we sort of sat with Adewale and got a sense of him, it became more complex, and then thus, it evolved into a story where\u2026 his brother was a priest and that he was ultimately masquerading as a priest and the stick was his idea. Damon Lindelof: And yeah\u2026 Carlton Cuse: The stick is also going to have its own flashbacks. [Crowd laughs] Damon Lindelof: As a young acorn. The\u2026 Carlton Cuse: Acorns don\u2019t turn into sticks, Damon. Damon Lindelof: The\u2026 [Crowd laughs] You\u2019re right. The, the uh, there\u2019s a constant dialogue happening between the actors and the producers and the writers, sometimes directly, sometimes indirectly. And very much, the actors experience playing the part and often, this sort of echoes the character. So, for this season, anybody who\u2019s reading anything about the show\u2026 sort of aware of the fact that Terry O\u2019Quinn was very frustrated. In terms of, here\u2019s a guy who, Season 1, he\u2019s running around the jungle, he knows all the answers, he\u2019s on an axis of destiny, he finally, the Island has provided him an answer, and the answer is that he has to sit at a computer every 108 minutes and push a button. And this button frustrates him. Over the course of the season, both Locke and Terry get frustrated and he would say to us, \u201CI want a knife in my hand! And kill things again!\u201D So we said, \u201COh, you\u2019ll get your knife back, John Locke.\u201D So, Season 3, we think will be really exciting\u2026 but you know, sometimes as writers, we have to frustrate the actors in order to tell the larger story. Carlton Cuse: Just as a final thing, we realize that Daniel speaks English. Which is\u2026 Daniel Dae Kim: Don\u2019t tell anybody. [Crowd laughs] Carlton Cuse: Maybe we\u2019ll see more of that. Daniel Dae Kim: And, once they realized that I was Korean, they started writing more Korean\u2026 so if I were Caucasian, I think Jin would probably be\u2026 Swedish? [Crowd laughs] Damon Lindelof: That\u2019s right. Carlton Cuse: He was Swedish. Damon Lindelof: It was very weird because he was from Korea and married to a Korean woman\u2026 Jorge Garcia: It\u2019s like, when you guys found out that I was like\u2026 crazy. And you started writing all that stuff? [Crowd laughs] Damon Lindelof: Right. That too. Fan 14: Thank you. Carlton Cuse: We weren\u2019t going to talk about that, Jorge. Damon Lindelof: Exactly. Carlton Cuse: You took your pills there before this, didn\u2019t you? They only have to last for six more minutes\u2026 Damon Lindelof: We thought your lawyer said that it was inappropriate when we talked about that\u2026[Jorge laughs] I guess the gloves are off! Fan 15: Hi, my name is Stewart, and I\u2019m a Lostaholic. Damon Lindelof: Everybody. Hi, Stewart. [Crowd repeats \u201CHi, Stewart.\u201D, laughs] Fan 15: Sorry, I\u2019m really nervous just even talking to you guys, but\u2026 Jorge, I love you so much, man. I can\u2019t put it into words. Jorge Garcia: Thank you. The wrist band\u2019s a great touch too. Fan 15: Oh, I\u2019m actually cos-playing as you later at the masquerade ball, that\u2019s why I\u2019m\u2026 [Shows off costume, crowd applauds] Jorge Garcia: Breath, brother, breath. Fan 15: I know I have to ask a question so\u2026 Damon, how do you intend to only let the show go onto how you want it to, and not let the executives drag it out any longer than that\u2026 and what about the rumors of possibly ending the show with a movie? Damon Lindelof: Uh, there\u2019s another question we never get asked. The\u2026 basically, it\u2019s a very slippery slope. Um, one of the things we always talk about is the X-Files, which is\u2026 there was a plan to do x-number of seasons and then end it in a movie\u2026 and from our understanding, that was the original plan, but when a show is successful, the networks, the powers that be\u2026 we\u2019re in a business. So the fact that the show does get good ratings is the reason that we\u2019re all here right now. So we\u2019re sort of in a catch-22 scenario. So, all we can do is\u2026 stick to the original plan. We have at least, for probably five awesome seasons planned out\u2026 and from that point, obviously after that, we\u2019d have to start tap-dancing. Which is something that we just don\u2019t want to do. Y\u2019know, two years from now, will we be in a climate where ABC or Touchstone says, \u201COk, we\u2019ll let you end it, and what is the give in return?\u201D We don\u2019t know. Obviously, that is our preference as story-tellers, but ultimately, it\u2019ll sort of be up to us to sort of put our foot down and say, \u201CFine, you can do more episodes of Lost, but we\u2019re not going to have anything to do with it\u2026\u201D It\u2019s hard for us to do that, because we don\u2019t want to hang any of the writers, or fans, or crew out to dry\u2026 Daniel Dae Kim: Or the actors? Damon Lindelof: Or the actors. [Crowd laughs] Carlton Cuse: Oh yeah, it\u2019s the unfortunate dilemma of \u201Cnow we\u2019re television\u201D\u2026 We wish we could announce like J.K. Rowling that there were 7 Harry Potter books, and you\u2019d sort of have that definitive sense when it\u2019s going to come to a conclusion. We struggle all the time with a developed mythology, but not knowing how it\u2019s going to play out\u2026 yet, the network invests a lot of money in the show, and yet it\u2019s their business, too\u2026 and their absolute right to make money off this endeavor. That\u2019s what they\u2019re in business to do. Damon Lindelof: We could\u2026 there could be a plan that we all together in this room, if we all promise not to tell anyone\u2026 [Laughter] that we just stop watching the show in the 4th Season\u2026 and just\u2026 wait for the DVD. But then they\u2019d go, \u201COh, nobody\u2019s buying the watching it anymore\u201D and cancel it, and then we\u2019d end it. But\u2026 the reality of ending it on our own terms is unrealistic. So we have to sort of think around corners a little bit. [Someone shouts out \u201CZombie Season 7!\u201D] Yeah, zombies\u2026 and when in doubt\u2026 zombies. [Crowd laughs] Fan 15: Thank you for just\u2026 doing what you guys do. Damon Lindelof: Oh, thank you, man. [Crowd applauds] Thank you for your Lostaholism. Fan 16: Hey you guys, you\u2019re absolutely amazing. Thank you for getting me to watch TV\u2026 it\u2019s amazing what you guys have done. My question is for anyone\u2026 if this is possible to answer\u2026 What exactly is the literal translation of those hieroglyphics? Damon Lindelof: The literal translation of the\u2026 five resolved? Basically, hieroglyphics, each character means something separate, but those five hieroglyphics together are the symbol for \u201CUnderworld\u201D\u2026 in Egyptian. Carlton Cuse: But they are subject to interpretation. But that\u2019s sort of the closest translation. Fan 16: Awesome. And, second of all, could we get a Hurley hug, by any chance? Damon Lindelof: Wow. Not from Jorge. [Jorge laughs] Carlton Cuse: Bryan will give you a Hurley hug. Damon Lindelof: [Laughs] Even after you heard about the crazy thing? Oh, even more? Thank you guys. Carlton Cuse: No, no, we\u2019re kidding, come up here. [Two young ladies invited up on stage to hug Jorge] Jorge Garcia: This is Carlton, pimping me out. Carlton Cuse: Ok, here we go. [Crowd cheers as they get a hug] Fan 17: You\u2019re so sweet! Jorge Garcia: Alright, they asked first, so that\u2019s it. Fan 17: Alright, first off? A big shout-out from The Fuselage. [Crowd cheers] Damon Lindelof: Shouted out back. Carlton Cuse: Shout back. Fan 17: And news flash for Daniel\u2026 I don\u2019t know if they\u2019ve heard, but the U2 concert in Honolulu has been rescheduled to December 9th. And Pearl Jam is opening! Daniel Dae Kim: Wow! Now that\u2019s a show. I\u2019ll see you all there! Fan 17: [Laughs] Ok, my question\u2026 hi Bryan. Bryan Burk: Hi. Fan 17: \u2018Cause I want you to answer it. What kind of additional casting are we going to have anymore sequences off the Island? Since we finally\u2026 at least, we think we made it off the Island at the end of the season. Bryan Burk: Well, unless it\u2019s snowing on the Island, we definitely made it off the Island for the first time. Um\u2026 there\u2019s going to be new regulars on the show on the Island this year\u2026 we\u2019re still in the middle of casting some of them. So it\u2019s all unofficial right now. But um\u2026 our cast-mates will definitely see new people. Carlton Cuse: Um, we have said, if you guys haven\u2019t heard, Desmond will be back on the show this year. [Fan whoops and crowd cheers wildly] Fan 17: And, the only acting Emmy nomination. Damon Lindelof: Sorry? Fan 17: He was the only acting Emmy nomination\u2026 and a lot of people were like\u2026 \u201CWhy didn\u2019t Daniel or Jorge get a nomination?\u201D As if he didn\u2019t earn it\u2026 but I think he did earn it\u2026 Carlton Cuse: No, but I mean, that was really painful to see. We have so many awesome actors on the show. And we were so surprised that we didn\u2019t get more nominations for our cast. [Crowd applauds] Fan 17: Alright, thank you. Damon Lindelof: Thank you. Fan 18: Alright. This is a yes or no question? Carlton Cuse: No. Damon Lindelof: Yes. [Crowd laughs] Fan 18: Is the Monster a cloud of nanobots? Carlton Cuse: [Laughing] Is this the same guy from last year? Damon Lindelof: Did you ask that question last year? Fan 18: No, that wasn\u2019t me. Damon Lindelof: Man, if I had a nickel for every time I got asked the nanobot question. Uh\u2026 NO. It is not a cloud of nanobots. Sorry. Carlton Cuse: But, at least we were honest. Damon Lindelof: See you next year. [Laughs] You look so disappointed. He waited on line forty minutes for that. Fan 19: Hey. When is Sun going to have Michael\u2019s baby? [Crowd laughs] Damon Lindelof: Wow. Carlton Cuse: Wow. Damon Lindelof: How did you no? [Faking talk show audience person] Oh, no you didn\u2019t! Daniel Dae Kim: I\u2019m personally offended by that. [Crowd laughs] Fan 19: Sorry. Damon Lindelof: Well, going back to the earlier question about how each season takes approximately thirty days of real time\u2026 I\u2019d say somewhere in the range of Season 13. Season 14? I dunno. [Crowd laughs] Carlton Cuse: Although, I like your\u2026 R.I.P. Ana Lucia shirt there. [Crowd cheers] Damon Lindelof: Let\u2019s just say that there will be zombies in the delivery room. Fan 19: Thank you. Damon Lindelof: Thank you. Fan 20: I just want to ask. When the heck is Kate going to get with somebody? Carlton Cuse: Very soon! Very soon, we promise. Fan 20: You promise? Carlton Cuse: Promise. Damon Lindelof: It depends what you mean by \u201Cget with\u201D. Carlton Cuse: Yeah. I think you know what she means by \u201Cget with\u201D, Damon. Don\u2019t be playing coy. Don\u2019t be getting her to say things in front of like five thousand people that she doesn\u2019t want to say. [Crowd laughs] Damon Lindelof: It\u2019s a family audience. But yeah, she is uh\u2026 within the first six episodes, there\u2019s going to be\u2026 she\u2019ll be officially making her selection. [Crowd cheers] Fan 20: Also, are we going to see any of Ana Lucia and Libby, in any of the flashbacks in third season? Carlton Cuse: Um. I think characters on our show like Christian Shephard, Jack\u2019s father, if you\u2019re dead, that doesn\u2019t mean you don\u2019t get a lot of story-time. So, let\u2019s just say that there\u2019s still things to be told\u2026 particularly about Libby, that we hope to get to. Damon Lindelof: We really loved working with Cynthia Watros and Michelle Rodriguez, and sometimes the story demands casualties, in the case of Michelle, we had\u2026 despite great cynicism amongst some people, we really had planned that out as a one-season arc. With Cynthia, as much as we valued her as an actor, when we came to that point, we thought it would just be more intriguing to have Libby die before she could sort of reveal all the answers to these questions. But obviously, we\u2019ve left the audience dangling. We know she was in a mental institution, and we know she gave Desmond the boat, but we have a lot of blanks to fill in. And some of those blanks will be filled in the course of Season 3, and some beyond. Fan 20: Thank you. Damon Lindelof: Thank you. [Applause] Fan 21: My question is for Jorge\u2026 is Hurley going to get any better luck? Jorge Garcia: Uh, how is that question for me? [Panel laughs] Damon Lindelof: You can\u2019t get worse luck. Jorge Garcia: There\u2019s like three people at this table that know what\u2019s happening in Season 3, and two of them are not us. Damon Lindelof: Would you like more luck? Jorge Garcia: Better luck? Damon Lindelof: Yeah. Carlton Cuse: You know, better luck isn\u2019t really all that dramatic. Damon Lindelof: We can make that happen for you. Carlton Cuse: How much luck would you like? Damon Lindelof: Oh, look, a clover. Jorge Garcia: I like that. Damon Lindelof: Hurley finds a clover. Fan 21: Thank you. Fan 22: First, I really love the podcasts that you and Damon are doing. And I was wondering, when you do commentaries for the DVD and everything, are you going to do the podcasts on them, or are you going to do new commentaries, or\u2026? Carlton Cuse: Uh, for the Season 2 DVDs, we recorded separate commentaries. We all collectively did one for the first episode of the show for Season 2, yeah, there are a number\u2026 Damon Lindelof: We did one for \u201C23rd Psalm\u201D and the writers and directors are t\u2014did you do one commentary, too? Jorge Garcia: I did one for \u201CDave\u201D. Daniel Dae Kim: I did one. Yunjin and I did one as well. Damon Lindelof: We try to have commentary tracks on at least a third of the episodes. Carlton Cuse: There a little more on-point, because we\u2019re actually watching the show, so we\u2019re not digressing about Damon not wearing any pants or anything\u2026 Damon Lindelof: Which I\u2019m NOT. [Crowd laughs] Carlton Cuse: There was a lot of discussion backstage about whether Damon was going to wear his pants or not wear his pants\u2026 but he chose to wear his pants. Jorge Garcia: He\u2019s wearing pants, but they\u2019re not his pants. Fan 22: Yeah, thank you. Damon Lindelof: They\u2019re Daniel\u2019s pants. [Crowd laughs] Fan 23: Yeah, so many questions, and I can only choose one. Um\u2026 Damon Lindelof: Don\u2019t choose that one. [Crowd laughs] The next one! Fan 23: Um, I guess I\u2019ll find out from a MySpace URL\u2026 But, um\u2026 I heard J.J.\u2019s going to have a little more involvement in Season 3? If you could let me or some of the J.J. fans know, let us know how that involvement is? Carlton Cuse: Um, J.J. is going to co-write the premier episode, and he\u2019s hopefully going to direct the 7th episode, which will be the first episode of the, y\u2019know the second pod of shows. Fan 23: Well, thank you. Conspiraspies unite! [Crowd cheers] Damon Lindelof: Thank you. Fan 24: Hi, uh, first off, Daniel and Jorge? My favorite characters of all on the show\u2026 so, really good job. But my\u2026 the production staff? You\u2019re the only reason why I turn on the TV just to watch Lost. Carlton Cuse: Well, thanks, man. Damon Lindelof: Thank you so much. Fan 24: But my question is\u2026 \u2018cause we didn\u2019t get to see a flashback for Libby\u2026 is she gonna be like in most of the characters flashbacks that they\u2019re gonna have? Carlton Cuse: Well, I mean, that would be how we would tell her story. So, sort of the example of Christian Shephard, who was dead at the beginning of the show, so\u2026 but we learned his story by watching Jack\u2019s flashbacks\u2026 and even seeing him in other characters\u2019 flashbacks as well, so that might be one way that we could see more of Libby\u2019s story. Damon Lindelof: You know, we have a hard and fast rule on the show, that we will always stick\u2026 that is, when a character dies on the show, they\u2019re dead. The only time you\u2019ll see them again is in someone else\u2019s flashback. So, um, we do that because we want the stakes on the Island to be real\u2014there are characters who have died who have appeared in other people\u2019s memories. I think if we were to tell you that you would see Libby again, the sort of intriguing question would be\u2014well, who did she cross paths with that you already know? And that would be how you would be seeing her again. Carlton Cuse: Thank you. Damon Lindelof: Thanks a lot. Fan 24: Thank you. Fan 25: Hey, what\u2019s up, guys? Carlton Cuse: Hey, man. Damon Lindelof: How are ya? Fan 25: I just wanted to say, thanks for the five minutes of the poker scene\u2026 with Sawyer and\u2026 [Fan cheers] That was sick, man! And Jorge, I wanted to ask\u2026 how was Bill Hellmuth as a person, was he a cool guy? Damon Lindelof: Who? Jorge Garcia: Who? Fan 25: Bill Hellmuth. When he taught you in the\u2026 Jorge Garcia: Really cool guy! Fan 25: Now, for the big guys out there on the right side, I was just wondering if there\u2019s anything that goes along with the rich powerful fathers, like Sun\u2019s dad, Jack\u2019s dad, Locke\u2019s dad, Libby\u2019s husband\u2026 are they all like, have anything to do with the DHARMA Initiative or\u2026? Carlton Cuse: Uh\u2026 you know that I think father issues are very much a part of the show. Dramatically, that is something that we deal with extensively. And if you look at the characters on the show, a lot of the characters have \u201Cdaddy issues\u201D. And that is sort of a thematic thread, and something that is very much a part of how we come up with stories and how we break stories. Damon Lindelof: But, you know, there are obviously\u2026 one of the things that we love writing and we feel that fans that watch the show very closely is realizing at what level do certain characters connect to one another? And there are connections between Mr. Paik and various other parties that are sort of being alluded to\u2026 not on the internet, but maybe gradually as we begin sort of moving towards it on the show\u2026 You\u2019re asking the right question, but we\u2019re certainly not going to confirm or deny it right here. Fan 25: Thanks, guys. Damon Lindelof: Thanks. Panel Host: We have time for one more question. Carlton Cuse: Ooh. [\u201CAww\u201Ds from audience] No pressure, though. Fan 26: Alright, everyone\u2019s telling me to ask this. Is there anything we can look forward to in Season 3 and general information you can give us? Carlton Cuse: Well, there\u2019s a good question. [Audience shouts out of range] Damon Lindelof: What\u2019s that? [Inaudible shouts, laughter] That\u2019s Season 4. [Inaudible shout about Hurley] That\u2019s ALL of Season 5. [Crowd laughs] This is all gold. Jorge Garcia: I might not be naked. Carlton Cuse: We always welcome your suggestions. Damon Lindelof: We\u2019re really excited about Season 3, and one of the things is, it\u2019s going to be a vastly different feeling from the two seasons that preceded it, but at the same time, we\u2019re sort of reembracing the roots that we love about the show. We feel that there\u2019s going to be a lot more adventure elements in Season 3. Obviously, it\u2019s incredibly exciting to us that Kate and Jack and Sawyer have all been captured by these Other people. So finally, we have an opportunity to learn more about these Other people, who they are, where they came from, why they captured Kate, Jack and Sawyer, but more importantly, this idea of telling an adventure story, and this captivity story, and that\u2019s really going to be a big piece of at least the first six episodes, the sort of mini-series event. And then something is going to happen about mid-way through the year that will effectively fry everybody\u2019s brain. So, if it doesn\u2019t\u2026 we\u2019ll once again get cries of jumping the shark, but y\u2019know, as we always say, once we stop trying to jump the shark, the show is going to become incredibly boring and this element has been sort of always part of the DNA of the show. So, we\u2019ve got a lot of factors coming back\u2014Desmond, and Locke and Eko, what happened to them down there, and how did they survive, if they survived. Carlton Cuse: And, we\u2019re going to have a lot more of\u2026 truly, we\u2019ll have a lot more emphasis on the character relationships and romance on the show this year. We\u2019re going to be introducing new characters on the show this year, and the mystery of who they are and where they came from, and what their flashback stories are will be a part of the show, and obviously, the end of last season, we did something that we haven\u2019t done for the first 49 hours of the show, we took you to the outside world. And that was very significant for laying the scenes for the whole new element that is going to come into the show\u2026 and obviously, the Penny and Desmond relationship, the kind of\u2026 that scene teed up something that will become significant in the show this year as well. So, we\u2019re actually really excited. We have a cool game plan and we see each of the seasons of the show as like a book, like in the Harry Potter series. I mean, each one has its own character and its own story. This season will in a lot of ways be about our characters\u2019 interactions with the Others and we\u2019ll get to know a lot about their society\u2026 but as Damon said, with a real action-adventure-type orientation. Damon Lindelof: AND naked Hurley and Jin. [Crowd cheers] All that. Alrighty. Do we have, one more or\u2026 Panel Host: Do we have time? [Crowd members shout \u201COne more!\u201D] One more.

"A transcript is a retrospective written record of dialogue, and like a script (a prospective record) may include other scene information such as props or actions. In the case of a transcript of a film or television episode, ideally it is a verbatim record. Because closed-captioning is usually written separately, its text may have errors and does not necessarily reflect the true Canonical transcript. Jorge Garcia: Hey, this is Jorge Garcia, and you\u2019re listening to the Official Lost Podcast, hosted by ABC.com. [Opening Lost Theme] Damon Lindelof: That\u2019s good. I started that theory.
