LOST Schedule April 7 and Interview with Michael Emerson (Ben)
The new episode will be at 9:00. It’s called Dead is Dead. Are you seeing a trend here with repeated-word titles? First, there was What Happened, Happened. Now, there’s Dead is Dead.
Of course we know that on LOST dead isn’t always dead. Dead is sometimes undead. Dead is also sometimes a few days in a coffin before rising again, good as new, albeit too formally dressed for a tropical island. If you’re an actor on LOST, then dead means never having to say that your contract is over, because you can always come back in a flashback.
This will be a Ben-centric episode. In honor of that, here’s a video of Michael Emerson answering viewer questions, in “Ask Lost,” which I think is the start of a new internet-extra series from ABC.
Schedule for April 7, 2009
9:00 pm to 10:02 pm — New episode, Dead is Dead
(An hour earlier in Central Time)
Next week there will be another new episode, but on April 22 there will be a clip show, called Lost: The Story of the Oceanic 6, instead of a new episode.
Interesting video. Somehow I don’t think that he could pull off Desmond or Mr. Eko quite as well as he pulls off Ben. Of course, that could also be because he is fully associated in my mind with Ben.
In my mind too. I can’t even imagine him in any other role on the show — or imagine anyone else playing Ben. It’s such a perfect fit of character and actor.
