Short interview with Michael Emerson

[Ricardus Alpert]

Having survived the experience again - this was his second win in four career nominations - Emerson returned to Hawaii in August to shoot the sixth and final season of "Lost." Though he confirms that completed episodes are "very dark and bloody," he's able to offer little about where the plot is going.

"I thought I would be able to see the ending that was coming, but I can't," he says of the series finale. "It's still so opaque."

Nor does he have any idea how the character will evolve, though he can guarantee Ben will never veer toward monotony. "I've had some vintage Ben stuff already, in the great tradition of Ben Linus manipulating a turnaround or surprising the audience. And there's lots of that this season."

Sounds like Ben is back to his old "Always have a plan" state. Sounds really exciting to me.

Great, great news. Vintage Ben is exactly what I was hoping for, and it seems like it happens fairly early too. I guess he has no choice but to turn his manipulation and lying game up 100%, seeing as he's killed Jacob and all.

[Ricardus Alpert]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's going to start lying as soon as they get out of Jacob's chamber. I'm hoping he'll get the chance to backstab Flocke, too.

Michael Emerson really is a master when it comes to interviews. He speaks so eloquently and honestly, while managing to cleverly phrase his responses to questions he is obviously not at liberty to answer.

By telling us he's done some 'vintage' Ben stuff already, he's given nothing at all away but has managed to 'load' his statements with just enough fodder to give 'spoiler hungry' fans something else to consider in the meantime.

[Smokey2000]

He's great. I am looking forward to see him as manipulating Ben again! Great news!

[Dharmilla]

Finally the kind of spoiler I was desperately waiting for since I was spoiled on S6. yahoo.gif yahoo.gif

Thanks Michael, you're always the best! <3

Looks there'll be more than this, ''manipulating a turnaround or surprising the audience'' makes me think of some game changing plot twist
