3 questions...

1. How come no one who was on the plane remembers that Locke was wheelchair bound prior to getting on and being seated? It would have been hard to forget given that he would have been sitting in the terminal with all of them..in his wheelchair.

2. The rumor is that you guys work and physically assult your writer's assistants so harshly that they don't have time to answer questions in the VIP Forum section...is this true? As a graduating college senior I'de love to hear some of their stories and responses to the questions posed.

3. Will we be introduced to a new character sometime this seaon..i.e a full episode with flashbacks devoted to them? And new as in we have not known them prior...they were just a face in the crowd?

Who is your favorite character on LOST?

1. two answers, one he was pre-boarded and placed in his chair before anyone else came on the plane, two it's possible that anyone who saw him either died in the crash, was far too traumatized to remember him as "the dude in the wheelchair" - especially sicne he has been walkming since they landed on the island, or was just minding their own business.

2. that is sadly true.* we are stern and cruel taskmasters.* in addition to their being quite busy, i also think that everyone has to pick their own level of comfort with how and when they engage the fan community - not because they don't like the fans, but because everyone on the show has a different level of web/fandom savviness - and it is a new experience for many of us to have this kind of attention.* that much said, dkny and raggs do have amazing tales to tell!

3.* maybe - you'll just have to keep watching... MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!

4. i don't pick favorites - i have to like them all, it's my JOB!
