Re: ss
Aquí os dejo una entrevista con el que es, muy probablemente (sobre todo ahora, tras la marcha de David Fury), el mejor guionista de la serie con diferencia, Javier Grillo-Marxuach.
Huelga decir que contiene SPOILERS, referidos tanto a episodios pasados como a los que quedan por emitir.

And now for the second part of my interview with Javier Grillo-Marxuach. During the first half, we discussed his upcoming comic debut, The Middleman from Viper Comics. This week, the focus shifts to Grillo-Marxuach’s other full time job, as a writer for the television series Lost. Currently in its first season on ABC, Lost follows a group of castaways trapped on a mysterious island, where their past and present lives converge with unexpected results. On this island, anything seems possible and often is. It’s like Survivor with actual drama. And it’s become the first genre show to achieve massive crossover appeal since The X-Files. Recently, Grillo-Marxuach took the time to address the future of Lost and an interesting side project that may come out of it…
Blair Marnell: What’s your role on Lost?
Javier Grillo-Marxuach: I’m a writer and supervising producer on the show. For this season, I wrote two episodes of the show solo and co-wrote three others. I was originally hired with three other writers to come in and help develop the series as the pilot was being written. Lost was picked up very late in the development season and they really wanted a group of writers as a think tank to brainstorm what the series would be. Me and the other writers (which included Paul Dini) worked very hard on developing a lot of the concepts that are the cornerstones of the series. That was my initial involvement, to help generate ideas that J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof could use in the development of the series.
Now that the series is on air, my job is to help generate and develop episode and series ideas I’m also a producer, so when I write a show, I’m involved with a lot of the creative decisions during production. Primarily my job is to generate stories, help other writers break their stories, help J.J., Damon and Carlton Cuse create the broad mythology of the show and to write my own stuff.
BM: Which episodes have you written this season?
JG-M: My first episode was “House of the Rising Sun,” about the Korean couple with the flashback scenes about Sun. My second episode is called “All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues,” which is all about Jack and his relationship with his father and also dealt with the kidnapping of Charlie and Claire. Then I co-wrote - with Leonard Dick - the sequel to House of the Rising Sun,” which was called “...In Translation” and told Jin’s side of the story and an episode called “Hearts and Minds,” which I got to write with Carlton Cuse, in which Boone and Shannon got it on.
My last episode, which hasn’t aired yet, is called “Born to Run.” I co-wrote it with Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz. That is all about Kate and her little DC-3 Airplane and why it’s so important.
BM: With Boone getting killed off two weeks ago, was that the major cast death we’ve been hearing about for so long?
JG-M: There are a lot of shocking death scenes that are going to happen on the show, and I’m not saying that we won’t be killing anybody else, but, that is certainly the major cast death that we promised to do. The island is a treacherous and dangerous place. We promised someone was going to die and that was it.
BM: What’s coming up the rest of this season, leading up to the finale?
JG-M: There’s so much going on. They have a raft that they’ve built and they’re going to try to escape from the island. That’s a pretty HUGE deal. What happens with the raft, who goes on it, who gets on, when does it leave, how does it leave? All of that stuff is going to be addressed. We all know that there are other people on the island and we have an insane Frenchwoman running around. We have a hatch that we have to try to open. The island is not without many mysteries, and what’s going to happen by the end of this season is that all of these things are going to come to a confluence. The mysteries we’ve been building throughout the whole first year all come to a head at the end of the season. In these remaining episodes, you’ll get a lot of character-related jeopardy, a lot of answers and more mysteries that are going to come out of those answers. It’s really going to be about bringing every mystery that we’ve set up to a really explosive place at the worst possible time.
I think it’s going to be very interesting, because the characters have not had an easy life on the island, but it’s about to get a lot worse. At the risk of sounding extremely arrogant, I think we have a season finale that’s going to be one for the books. It’s “Best of Both Worlds” good. And if you understand that metaphor, good. Other people need to get an education. [laughs]
BM: Or watch Star Trek.
JG-M: Yeah. Hence, “getting an education.” Absolutely. I don’t want to jinx this and I don’t want to sound arrogant, but knowing what I know, it’s humbling to me how explosive this finale is going to be.
BM: It’s good to hear you have some idea of where you’re going. I think one of the reasons that The X-Files went off the rails was that they kept the mysteries running too long and didn't offer any satisfying answers.
JG-M: Well, I don’t know how long Lost is going to be on the air - it’s not up to me to decide, but rather you, the viewer. We obviously know what all of the core mysteries are, and I like to think that we are creating a really rich tapestry of character, so that the show isn’t just about the mystery, but about the audience caring about what happens to these people and how they react and what it is in their past that made them who they are. Knowing what I know, I feel that we have a very strong pool of stories and character relationships to draw from - and eventually, when we finally answer everything, hopefully you won’t have been there because you wanted to know all this time, but because you wanted to know how Jack, Kate, Sawyer and everyone else who survives would be affected by it.
BM: Alright, are there any plans for Lost comics?
JG-M: Yes, things are in the works right now. I don’t know that I can talk about it yet, because deals have not been signed yet. But there will definitely be a comics presence for Lost. It’s something that the creative staff of the show, myself included, are going to work on very closely. We want to make sure that the right company is doing them, that we have the right approach, in terms of it not just being a tie-in, but something that really fits in with what we’re doing on the series. It’s being worked on as we speak and it’s going to be completely with the participation of the creative players of the show. I think that when the fans see it, it’s really going to compliment their enjoyment of the series.
BM: Will you be involved with it?
JG-M: Absolutely. I’m hoping right now that I’ll get a chance to write at least one of the issues of the comic book, if not more. Hopefully, I will also take some role between what’s being done in the comic book and what were doing in the series so that everything is in continuity and everything works. There will probably be other writers on the staff that will want to do some the issues. There may even be some of the cast that would be interested in that as well. I think it’s going to be really cool. When it all gets put together, you’ll be the first to know.
BM: What kinds of stories can you tell in the Lost comics that you can't tell on the show?
JG-M: It’s going to be interesting - I think the comics are going to go into a lot of things like the lives of the people in the camp other than the core fourteen, you will get to know other people, see their own adventures and how they interact with the cast you have come to know and love... everything else must, for now, remain shrouded in secrecy!
BM: Are there any other film and television projects that you’re currently working on?
JG-M: Lost is kind of taking up all of my time, to be perfectly frank with you. One 25-hour episode season, with me writing or co-writing five scripts is a lot of work. So, between that and The Middleman, that’s going to pretty much tax my creative faculties for the time being. There’s always the chance that I might get involved in a future project, but my contract makes me exclusive to Lost for my television work, which I feel is the right thing and I don’t want to spread myself too thin. I really want to be someone who does their best work in whatever medium they’ve chosen to work on. With a show like Lost, you really have to bring your A Game. It’s the same for The Middleman which is something I really want to do and I’d never want to phone in an issue. That would just suck. As a writer, I can tell when people are doing that and I can’t allow myself to do that. So for now, Lost and Middleman are going to be it. <hr></blockquote>
