Evi's interview *updated*

Dal nuovo Lost Magazine. Spot on Evi!

Question: Is Kate set for a big fall next year?

EL: I didn't see it happening in season four, although I do anticipate something breaking her in season five. Now, I don't know if that will actually affect the other characters--like becoming a paid mass killer, ending up in an asylum or addicted to over-the-counter drugs. But I think there will be moments where Kate starts to disintegrate and she has to face where she comes from. I think that may end in her agreeing to go back to the island. I don't know if they will even be able to accomplish that, but I feel like that will be her breaking point. And it won't be so much destructive as constructive; she'll realize they have to do this, and that she's going through the same hell as everyone else. Kate's just in some serious, serious denial.

I also see her bond with Jack is actually stronger than the bond with Aaron, even though it doesn't appear to be that way right now. I feel like watching Jack deteriorate and reach his low--pushing her away and then her pushing him away--I feel like that is what will bring her to her knees. It will be her bond with Jack.

Question: Did it give you pause to have Kate now firmly take a side and have it be with Jack?

EL: No--I really feel like I took it down to the basics of what I feel often happens in a situation where your heart is divided. Sawyer has always been unabashed in his affection for Kate. He never pretended like it's not there. He's always hit on her, always suggested he wanted to be with her, and he's always been vulnerable with her. There was never any hiding. Meanwhile, she and Jack have had a very strained relationship. Every time she feels she is getting close to him, something will happen that will draw him away from her--whether she lies and pushes him away, or something more pressing on the island pulls him away and she then thinks she's dreaming the affection. There is nothing overt about Jack's affection and love for Kate, and therefore there is nothing to base a reciprocal emotion on. I think what happened is that when you're torn between two lovers--you go to the lover who takes you in their arms. Jack wasn't willing to do that.

Question: So what do you think was the change--the ultimate catalyst?

EL: I feel like, when she goes back to the beach camp and Jack gets sick and he says, "I want Kate in the room," Kate--as well as Juliet and Jack--understands the magnitude of what that means. It means that if he is seen breathing his dying breath, the only person he wants to have at his side is Kate. He is making up excuses for her to be there because he doesn't know if he is going to make it through the surgery. I feel that, for Kate, it was affirmed that he loves her and that, well, he's just Jack. She makes so many deprecating jokes about him throughout that episode and the next one because she is so frustrated; his nature makes him so hard to need and deal with. But the reality is that Jack loves Kate. And on the flip side, when you think you are going to lose someone, you actually face what they mean to you. In the cages in season three, she thought she was going to lose Sawyer--and that made her face what he meant to her. Similarly, on the beach, when she had to face potentially losing Jack forever, that made her realize exactly what she felt for him.

Question: Do you think Kate feels she can only really redeem herself through her love of Jack?

EL: I don't think it was as complicated as redemption, because I think Kate is on her own journey with that. I think it's the simplest terms of romance and I believe she is confused about the person that resonates as true.

Question: You could attribute Sawyer evolving into the man that he is now becoming because he allowed himself to love Kate. Do you see it that way at all?

EL: I still see all of that as very heartbreaking because it comes from a place of pain on Sawyer's end. Josh is really amazing at playing that pain and selling the heartbreak. I find that whole thing very heartbreaking and I don't think it stems from a positive place. But I do think it is a positive thing though--what is happening with Sawyer is beautiful to watch. He's becoming much much more selfless. I think it began when they were in the cages. He said he loved her and it was big deal.

avevo dimenticato questi due pezzetti (la skater che aveva riportato l'intervista li aveva accuratamente tralasciati!LOL)

LOST MAG:Last season, we spoke about the positives and the negatives of the ever-present triangle with Kate, Jack and Sawyer. Year three was about Sawyer and Kate; season four swung back to Jack and Kate. Did you know that was coming?

EL: I was given a heads-up, because when we were shooting the finale - the last scene of season three with Jack and Kate in the future - Matthew and I had a lot of questions. We needed to know where the characters were headed. I didn't know exactly how, but I did know to what degree. I think knowing that going into the fourth season obviously made it easier to play it, and to play it convincingly. There is this really unfortunate, fickle yo-yo that Kate does that I get really angry about. I am surprised that the audience sympathizes with her because she is so fickle, and that is an unattractice quality in a person. So I guess I was preparing for that, and trying to make sure that in all of the moments played last season with that triangle, that you really believed there was a difference between one versus the other that Kate is going through with Jack is significant. I tried to play that on the island so that it ended up being convincing on the flash-forwards, when you see the accumulation of that.

LM: Do you see Kate as more of hero these days?

EL: (NON JATE RELATED STUFF)......
But I find it interesting that heroes come in all forms, shapes and sizes. Kate has managed to quietly walk around behind Jack and clean up his messes, support him, as well as mess things up for him and make things more difficult for him [laughs]! But I feel like she is his right hand man in a beautiful way, because in a platonic way, she's his lieutenant. She serves him by being connected to the community and is a bridge to the people that don't understand him. She is almost like the consultant to the king. If someone really wants to get a message to Jack, they go to Kate

like..WOAH!!!!concordo praticamente su tutto.e pensare che stavamo parlando proprio ieri di quanto quel "i want it to be Kate" fosse importante..!
oh..e a quanto pare Jack is now THE KING! lmao!
