Born on the First of July: Canada, Culture, and Cunning in LOST by Pearson Moore
LOST Theories
Her politicians are unknown outside her borders. Her history is subdued; even the most jarring social movement of the last two hundred years is called the “Quiet” Revolution. But her culture?
Hockey. Mounties. Maple Syrup. Molson Dry. We know her culture.
If we know her culture, we must know her citizens. Constable Benton Fraser, Dudley Do-Right, Sergeant Bruce, and Sam Steele taught us. Canadians are decent, polite, trustworthy. When Australian farmer Ray Mullen found a vagabond woman sleeping in his sheep barn he was understandably suspicious. “You’re an American.” Not a question, but a statement. Only Americans could be so disrespectful. The woman shook her head. “Canadian,” she said, correcting him. “I graduated from college and figured I’d see the world.” Her declaration of Canadian citizenship changed everything. Now she was a good neighbour, fellow citizen of a Commonwealth country. She was Canadian. She was decent, polite, trustworthy. He believed her immediately. How could he not? Annie was a fine young woman from a fine country. Ray knew he could trust her with his money, with his farm, with his very life. What could possibly go wrong?

Michael Emerson: “LOST is going to be a wild ride from here on to the end.”
Cast and Crew of Lost, Interviews, Season 6
Fancast.com: The May 23 series finale has been expanded by 30 minutes and will now run two-and-a-half-hours. Why do you think that is?
Michael Emerson: It’s surprising… and yet in a way I’m not surprised at all. The finale script was so thick and so dense with action…. When we were shooting it, we went so far overtime, I thought, “How are they ever going to squeeze all this into two hours?!” If ‘Lost’ has any flaws, it’s that occasionally we suffer from trying to cut too big a show [for the given time slot], so I’m happy to hear they thought there was enough great stuff that they had to let it breathe. It’s a really great sign.
What is there so much of – action? Verbal exposition?
It’s everything. There’s so much in it. There are tremendous action sequences in it, and to give them the full scope and breadth, sometimes you have to let it be a little bit longer.
Might the finale present too much information to download? Could even the most passionate ‘Lost’ fan come away a bit dizzy?
There’s a lot going on in it, I’ll give you that! The show is definitely going to be a wild ride from here on to the end.
What are your own plans for finale night?
Some cast members and I have a thing to shoot for the ‘Jimmy Kimmel’ LOST special in the afternoon, and then I’m doing a personal appearance [at the Los Angeles Orpheum], where they’re showing the finale on a giant screen. But I’m done there when the show starts, so I’ll probably come home and watch it. [Wife] Carrie [Preston] and I may have some friends over.
There has been talk that we could see you and Terry O’Quinn work together again, perhaps playing bounty hunters in one proposed series.
Yeah, that was an idea that we kicked around a bit, and he’s spoken to some producers about it. If it has legs it would be a long way off. But of it’s a fun idea, I would leap at the chance to work with Terry on anything – whether it’s singing on a street corner or doing a play in Baltimore. Why not, it’s what we do! We were good together, let’s take our show somewhere else!

Michael Emerson Teases Tonight’s Episode and Answers Fans’ Questions
Cast and Crew of Lost, Interviews, Season 6
Like many other episodes this season, it’s … it’s just a good reveal. The door creaks open a little bit further. Something in the mechanics of the narrative is going to make itself … we’re going to think about things differently — certainly about Desmond.
