The ODI

- He signed for three episodes 4 years ago, like Michael Emerson did; now Cusick is still on the show and he is glad to be. He thought to be on the show so much that he finally made it happen.
- He will be in Hawaii, staying there for a long time, not because of the show but because that he has other works to do in there.
- He agrees on the idea that Desmond centric episodes are always rated high and writers like to write great episodes for Desmond.
- The scene from "The Constant"; Penny and Desmond on the phone: Separate shots were made and Desmond's phone scene was shot at the end of the day, Cusick mentions how quick it was made.
- Question "Does the fs Desmond think or know the things that on-island Desmond does/knows?" Answer: "Desmond was pushed into the fs with electromagnetic (thing) and he very much aware of what happens on the island and in fs and the thing is that fs is not right. He is on a mission now, not in the fs but on the island."
- Question "Does what Desmond thinks on the island affects fs Desmond?" Answer: "It's not a moment to moment realization, but he knows what happens on the island while he is in fs."
- Question "Is Desmond's mission in fs is to find all 815ers with the manifest (flight list) and remind them about the island life?" Answer: "Yeah it is. It (might not) be specifically to show them their island life, but he felt something and he has to show them something in fs to fix the wrongness of fs. He does what he thinks is right. You'll find that out."
- ODI asks about the underwater car scene in "HEA"; Cusick says it was scary for the first time. They did the underwater scenes in a tank.
- Question: Was it a satisfying moment for Cusick as it was for fans while watching as Desmond attacked on Charles in 6x11? Answer: It was a hard scene. Desmond had that rage for a long time and it was the expression of it.
SPOILER--SPOILER--SPOILER
- Question: Will we see more of Desmond this season? Answer: Not as a single episode dedicated/central for Desmond, because there are other characters also and we will watch all of them (I think this means yes we will see him but not ONLY him)
- A mentioning to Desmond's vision about Claire taken by a helicopter from the island. Cusick says that was a line and in season 4 finale he thought Claire would be on the helicopter too, but this is for now just a line. He doesn't know if it is true or not or will happen or not.
- Desmond said he will read "Our Mutual Friend" before he dies. The question is will Desmond ever read the book? Cusick says Desmond should have read the book already, but he himself haven't yet.
- What would Cusick bring to the island if he were to be stucked on there? Matches (?), his wife, a sailboat. He takes sailboat back and says a musical instrument.
- As the end of the show is near, is Cusick satisfied with the end that his character gets? Answer: It doesn't relate to the question but every actor has its own script, like eleven or twelve actors have their own. They have a 10 act script, but not 11th (I think series finale is about 11 acts, scripts are generally divided to acts). So nobody knows what happens in the final act, which they will be filming soon. So far it's been great. But even with the 11th act, there's a missing final scene that nobody knows and they will need to figure everything out with that missing scene. They joke about all 6 seasons coming onto only one scene. :D
