First of all, thanks from the bottom of my heart for all your recent messages. Negative or positive, I read them all, and they really helped me get through one of the toughest weeks of my life. Though there's still a long way to go, I've already learned some invaluable lessons, and I'm doing my best to pick myself off the floor. The silver lining in all this is that in the end, I hope this experience helps make me a better man.

On to happier news though...
Fans of the show will be happy to know that we're wrapping up filming on episode seven, which happens to be a Sun/Jin episode, called "Ji Yeon." Given the turmoil of the past few weeks, it's been great to be able to throw my focus back on my work, and especially on such a great episode. I hope you like it. It should air in March sometime, and if the current strike schedule holds, it will be our second to last episode before we take our unplanned hiatus.

For those of you who don't know, it was just announced that LOST will come back in February as planned, and we'll run all of the episodes we'll have finished, which at the moment, looks to be a total of eight. After that though, we'll be dependent on the strike coming to an end. Please keep your fingers crossed that it will happen soon. The welfare of so many people -and families- are at stake. Many of you have asked me where I stand on the issue, and without getting too political, just let me say that though it's very complicated, I stand behind the writers and what they're trying to achieve. They are as responsible for a show's success as much as anyone -if not more so- and their livelihoods in the face of a rapidly changing entertainment landscape deserve to be protected.

One last thing before I go. I just went back to my college to meet and talk with some of the students, and while I was there, the college theater production happened to be running. It was a play written in 1938 by Gertrude Stein called "Dr. Faustus Lights the Lights." It also happened to be directed by my former professor, so I went back to see it. I'm so glad I did. Eerie, haunting, and so visually inventive, I found it achingly beautiful. Just a nice reminder that inspiration comes from anywhere and everywhere, and sometimes, a little dip back into the wellspring is all you need to feel refreshed.

Hope you're having a good November. Cheers, everyone.

DDK!
You know we're here and you have our support!
You will be able to move forward from that experience! I know you will.

As far as the strike, I support the writers.
I know it's rough for fans everywhere, but it is a necessary step for the writers.
Of course, I am going crazy with anticipation for the show to start up again!
We're all looking forward to the dvd release too.

I wish you and your family a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.
Thank you for your kindness always. Can't wait to see your episode!
Say hi to Jorge for me ;D
MUCH ALOHA,

God bless you Daniel. Glad to hear you are doing ok. I support the writers too, but I hope it all gets settled soon, because it's we the fans who will be coming back to watch the shows that these people write. I just hope they don't hurt their own products by doing this. Can't wait for February. Take care.

Although I have no idea what happened, just keep in mind we are all human. If you didn't make a mistake small or large that would just be not normal. Keep your chin up!

I am glad to hear that the show is going well and I hope that teh strike ends soon for all involved.

That was an uplifting day brightener! Hopefully, by the time all 8 completed shows have aired, the strike will be long over, and everyone will be getting what they rightfully deserve. I know the strike affects so many people, and the unions have to keep on their toes to make sure people aren't being cheated out of what they've worked so hard for.
Happy to hear about a new Jin/Sun episode ..it seems like forever since we've seen one of those! My husband lies, and says he can't remember any of the characters' names except for Sawyer, because we named our newest cat after him (we found a kitten in our yard who was "lost" )..but he's just being grumpy because we've been waiting so long for some new episodes.
Take care, and stay well !

Thank you for the updates, Daniel! I'm glad to know that you're doing well, and that all is also going well on the 4th season of Lost. I'm thinking good thoughts that all will work out with the writers' strike...they deserve to be compensated for their work, and I don't think their requests are out of line at all!

Hello there Jin ! umm I mean Daniel

What a wonderful inspiring blog. We ALL need encouragement. So thanks for the encouragement. I took theater also. My theater director eventually headed back to NY cause he loves off broadway, off off broadway and off off off broadway, Oh well

Look, pleae kick some OTHERS butts on the island. Hey do ya think the Others put an implant in Vincent ? Don't answer, it's a rhectorical question anyway. You may need to go get patchy again. I don't think he's dead, he's got 9 lives minus.

Hugs to ya

Steph now dharmalized into LOSTeph

I'm glad to read you again! And I'm very exciting with your new episode! aww I saw a few pictures of you on the set and I'm sure it will be great! As all the Jin/Sun ones :D

I hope things will be fine soon with the writers' strike :/ It would be really sad if Lost can't finish its 16 episodes...but I understand the writers as well! :)

Cheers,
Sara.

Hey :-)

All you can do is turn things round to make it a positive, and I know I'm not alone on here in saying you have our support.

Can't wait until season 4 - although I only finished watching S3 last week when it came out on DVD here (darn UK cable companies losing channels...grrrr...). I'm fully behnd the writers - hopefully this strike will give them time to cook up some more great ideas (for Lost and other stuff), and not just a rush job when it comes to an end.

Thanks for your blogging - best wishes,

Rach xx

I am here to say that I understand what you are going through and we support you. We love your character and your acting. Know that your fans stand behind you and support you and I am sure that your fellow actors on the set do as well. Life throws us a curveball sometimes you either let it hit you or you batter up! Make it a homerun!

It's so good to know you've come through your situation with your head held high. People make mistakes, but rarely do they learn anything from them. You're truly an example for all of us.

About the strike, I'm very glad to see you support the writers. I'm trying to do my small bit to help them. I planned on buying the Lost Season 3 DVD, but won't until the writers get thier fair share. It may not be much, but it's all a 20something from NJ can do. :)


Here's hoping they get what they truly deserve sooon, so we can get a full season of Lost!!!!!

I had to attend a marriage course and never got to see the ending, but there are spoilers out there, so that helped me. Jorge drives quite like some people I know, if ya gotta move, now's the time. lmao

I can hardly wait till february, given the fact that seeing so many of the actors involved in other things is kinda weird, because we are so used to seeing you/ them in Lost.

Hell is a place on earth, it's called marriage/ separation/divorce, why did I marry?, because everyone else was doing it.

Why did I marry, because at the time it seemed like such a good idea.

It takes 3 to make this marriage work, me, myself and I.

I love writing this stuff, kudo's to the writers, we get along so good. ;)
