Sonya Walger

The cast of Lost gathered together for one final celebration at UCLA last night. Josh Holloway and Henry Ian Cusick are the final two standing in Buzz's Best Lost Character of All Time bracket, but it's anyone's game, so weigh in on Desmond vs. Sawyer here. Ian Somerhalder got killed off the series early on, but he'll be back in one of the final few episodes, and we still get our share of his smoldering eyes on The Vampire Diaries, which had its own amazing cliffhanger yesterday. Sonya Walger represented the ladies of Lost amid news that her new show FlashForward has been canceled. Michael Emerson, Daniel Dae Kim, and more rounded out the event, though two of the most crucial cast members, Matthew Fox and Evangeline Lilly, skipped the party. The May 23 finale event is less than 10 days away, and with all our thoughts and theories buzzing we can't wait to see how it all wraps up!

I've been hooked on FlashForward since I saw the pilot back at the TCA, thanks to the intriguing premise and action-packed episodes. Earlier this week I had the opportunity to chat with Sonya Walger, who stars as Olivia and also plays Penny on Lost. While she made sure not to reveal any spoilers, Sonya talked about her character, the comparisons between shows, and more.

• On how her friends and family have responded to the show: They've been completely thrilled. It was fun, I was in London just last week. I had a few days off so nipped home to see my mom. It's so fun to have the show airing simultaneously there, in a real time experience. Everyone's excited about it. It's really exciting.
• On having a new TV family: It's lovely. It's lovely to have a place to belong to and come to every week. The scripts are so fun to get. They're really exciting. Week after week it's just a treat to come home and find them on your doorstep.
• On her hopes for Olivia and Mark's relationship: You hope for Olivia's sake and for their little girl's sake that they can stay together; but at the same time I wouldn't wish Olivia to stay in a relationship that was miserable and making her and the three of them unhappy. You just want the best for your character, really.

So, did you guys catch FlashForward this week? Even though I had already seen the pilot (OK, I saw it twice), I still tuned in to refresh my memory. No surprises here — I caught a few nuances that I had missed the first time around, and I can already tell that this may be the kind of show that requires a second viewing. (This should be a familiar routine for all you Lost fans out there). Speaking of Lost, did anyone else notice the billboard for Oceanic airlines?

Even if you paid attention, it can be a bit confusing to keep track of who's who in new pilots, so I've broken it all down for you. Check it out and then let's discuss what you thought of the episode! To see what I thought, just read more
