I am – Hercules!! I found this line intriguing: “We’ll learn more about Eloise Hawking and what exactly she was doing as a 'timecop' with Desmond in both timelines.” Widmore and Hawking seem like such important components of the show’s story, yet we still know so little about them. Here’s “BilboFett”:

Just got back from attending the New York Times Talk Live LOST event, having watched it in-theater. It was like a 90 min class on screenwriting. I would highly recommend it to anyone who’s teaching scriptwriting to a high-school level class, as long as the student can get into LOST. Jorge Garcia and Michael Emerson made a surprise appearance, which actually was a little touching. Damon really played the funny man and Carlton the straight guy. The interviewer was very intelligent and asked some great questions. They showed classic clips to which Darlton commented on: Jack and Locke arguing over “faith vs. science” and Locke asking Jack to push the button inside the Swan Hatch. They pointed out that it wasn’t so much that Locke didn’t have faith, he said he didn’t want to do it alone, and needed Jack, referencing the famous “live together, die alone” speech. They mentioned that the scene in the submarine is where they came full circle on Jack’s transformation because he was now the man of faith trying to get Sawyer to NOT do something, (fiddle with the bomb) and Sawyer was playing the role of the empiricist this time. Desmond finally reaching Penny on the phone in the Constant, Sayid in the background. Talked about how ridiculous it was that his mind time traveled to 1997 to ensure Penny would call him in 2004, Faraday’s rat maze, etc. And how it was the hardest and longest episode for them to break. They wanted to reveal time travel in a personal way that involved endearing characters and lots of emotion. That’s why Desmond remarks to Faraday’s mathematical explanation of a Constant: “can it be a person?” The Dharma scene where Hurley debates time travel rules with Miles, and finally stumps him. They anticipated the audience having the same sort of questions that Hurley did, and the scene pretty much already took place within the writer’s room. Some *really* good questions from the audience: “why must there be a human presence on the island?” which they said they’ve never been asked before but couldn’t answer. One guy asked a question which seemed to startle Darlton, especially Damon, and they basically said “We don’t want to spoil the ending to the show” as their answer, which made me think the guy was *extremely* close in his guessing the global reveal. I’ll give you a hint: he asked if there was an allusion in people doubting the button-pushing in the hatch as a critical necessity, and the critical necessity of protecting the lightcave. There was a lot more to it, but that’s all I’m giving. Sorry. CONFIRMED SPOILERS TO FOLLOW, BEWARE: Walt in the finale, confirmed by Carlton, to which Damon seemed a little shocked First 10 mins will be a huge Star Wars reference (Darlton didn’t like Damon saying this, but Damon said ‘but its ok to drop the Walt-bomb?!”) We’ll learn more about Eloise Hawking and what exactly she was doing as a “timecop” with Desmond in both timelines The characters will debate exactly what Widmore was doing back on the island Look for a reference to the fateful scene where Desmond and Jack first met: “you’ve got to lift it up, brotha” (a fan asked this question to which Carlton said “you won’t be disappointed” They showed a snippet from the finale, and it was EXACTLY word-for-word from those leaked script pages on the net: MIB, Ben, and Sawyer at the well, MIB talking about sinking the island, Ben frustrated that he thought he could be on the island, MIB saying Ben could get on a boat with him, them finding a dog’s tracks. END SPOILERS I’m not even gonna say “overall, it was great”. Because I was smiling and enjoying every minute of it. I’ll leave it here. Namaste!
