the writer’s strike shut down filming on a number of locations, including the CBS show “Cane” , which most everyone knows stars Nestor Carbonell, who played Richard Alpert. I know the writers said that Nestor would not be coming back this season unless they worked out an agreement with CBS due to contracural obligations, however, with the writer’s strike a go and with LOST still set to shoot one more episode, is it possible the writer’s could have wrote him in, knowing that the strike was going to occur and they would still have one more episode to shoot?
Carlton Cuse is on the Writer’s negotating commitee, and in an interview with Variety he told them about episode 8, “We finished writing by mid-afternoon yesterday,” said Cuse, who noted the script was ready to be shot. (http://darkufo.blogspot.com/). If they just finished the scrpit yesterday, then they could have easily made the necessary changes to write in Nestor. However, I do not know the perimeters for what actors can and cannot do in regards to this situation. Please let me know what you think? and let me know if it is a possibility.

radiotower, I think the writer’s strike is much bigger than one show, even if it is our favorite show. It affects daytime, primetime and movie writers.
My understanding is that 8 episodes have been filmed and are ready to go. Several more have been written, but cannot be shot without the writers on hand to do re-writes.
Also, just because there is a strike, doesn’t necessarily mean Cane will be cancelled. So what would the motivation be?
I’m not a fan of Cane, actually stopped watching it and would love to see Nestor back on Lost. But I don’t think your point is valid. The writer’s strike is a much bigger issue.
annie, i know the strike is a much bigger than show and i was not trying to convey the notion that the basis of the strike was mainly around lost. according to darkufo and the interview i referenced 7 have been filmed but 8 have been scripted which allows them to film that 8th episode, “The scribes said they spent much of the weekend putting the finishing touches on episode eight of “Lost,” submitting the script to the network on Friday and tweaking it over the weekend. We finished writing by mid-afternoon yesterday,” said Cuse, who noted the script was ready to be shot.”
also i was not saying Cane would be cancelled, but i was unsure if they had all of their scrpits completed at this point, which would allow them not to film. which led to the basis of my question, with lost having one more episode to film, would he be able to make an appereance if this was the case. again i am unfamiliar with the allowances of actors in situations like this.
Radiotower it would be good if they could bring back the Alpert as we need to learn more about him definitely! I don’t know much about the strike as I’m on the wrong side of the atlantic here but I hope they sort it out!
I can not believe it!! mrs, you must resign your British citizenship, or take back your words! A British is never ever on the wrong side of the Atlantic!!! Tsk, tsk, tsk… XD
[Sorry for the hijacking, radiotower, I just couldn’t help it…]
Radio Tower - I don’t think it’s very likely. Now let me express my sincerest apologies but I am afraid I am going to have to temporarily hi-jack your thread for an important public service announcement:
TrollQueen is dabiatchishere (the real one). I have this on very good authority from somebody you all know, and is tired of dab stirring things up all the while simultaniously professing to be trying to put an end to Trolls! (the TQ thing was the final straw by the way)
It wasn’t rocket science anyway dab!
Thanks for listening people.
DocOc what was I thinking?! You know what I meant of course. Thank goodness you were on hand to point out the error of my ways ;-)
I don’t think its likely that the strike would allow Richard to come back. From what I understand issues that prevent Nestor from reprising his role on Lost has to do with CBS not being willing to let him out of the “exclusive” clause in his contract. I don’t see this going away even if he is not currently filming “Cane” because of the writers strike.
The Radio Tower! What an appropriate name for a thread! You never can tell what the strike might bring!
Btw, Has anyone noticed that Stippie removed his Casual Friday thread, before he abruptly left the site?? Hmmm, I wonder why?
Dab, you disappoint me I expected to you to deny it! At least you know when the jig is up! So how about this, since you’ve now shown that you are no better than a troll yourself, how about you stop giving (non-offensive) Trolls grief? And we can all live in perfect harmony? (It’s just an idea, I know I’m weird)
And who the hell’s stippie?
Lol Dabbie people in glass houses eh!
Well, to my recollection Troll Queen never said anything insane, like you have! So, if I really were Troll Queen, I would have no trouble admitting it! Did you make that post, so you’d have another reason to come after me, because I ignore your insane ass?
So, it would appear that your grapevine, is drying up, oh insane one! I have only had contact with one former member of this website, and he was married, and everybody knows who that is, because they made educated guesses! So, unless you’re him, you know nothing about me, or who I may be in contact with!
Everyone on this site knows that you, and only you, have stalked, harrassed and pursued me with vicious and malicious intent! And, that isn’t what a sane person with no personal agenda would do!
BTW; I keep excellent records! Someone, is going to want to see those, very soon!
Indeed Mrs, although my house is made of 6.4mm laminated (Pilky K of course!), and dab’s unfortunately is a mere 4mm float, and anyway the difference is I have no illusions about what I do, I can’t say the same for your pal.
You should trade in your sniper gun for a water pistol. You keep shooting yourself, oh deluded one!
Try another post, see how well that’s going to work for you!
Missus, He’s a snivelling coward who only goes after women! He has shown how frightened of men he is! He won’t even respond to them!
See ya Stippo!!
Valerie, sorry i mean dab, exactly which men am I frigtened of and more to the point why would I be frightened of anybody on a website? Get a grip dab, this is not the real world! Your friend who ratted you out was getting tired of you turning threads into your own personal bullying club’s and, quite frankly I don’t blame him/her.
Oh and by the way, thank you for bringing laughter back into my life! For a while I thought you were close to unmasking me, but you really don’t have a clue do you? Don’t sweat it, just keep firing out random names, see ya val, soz I mean dab!
Oh and re: stalking, I seem to remember it was you who started on me, and I too keep excellent records, and not just of what you say to me.
You seem obsessed with the idea that I am the person who impersonated you, nobody on the site believes that and, at least one of you’re fellow CFers believes that you are deluded and won’t accept this in spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, simply because you just can’t be wrong, can you?
And for the longest time I was not even posting, but you posted as TQ and inspite of my better judgement, after you’re friend (who is a true saint and has the best interests of the site at heart) gave me the info I just couldn’t sit back any longer.
Anyone, I am in contact with, off of this site, knows what my real name is, but I do like the name Val. So, perhaps if I am looking into a name change, I’ll consider it!
But, alas, another delusion! And, I know what people think of you, on LT!
So, enjoy your little rant, and don’t forget to take your meds, and pay attention to your wife and kids, now!
Case closed on LT But, the cops are gonna love it!
Is it safe to come out now? Dab, what are you saying? I’m reading it but I can’t believe what I think I’m reading and I’m afraid I might be jumping to conclusions. When you say Stippie and Stippo, does that mean Stip? You’re not saying what I think you’re saying?
Miss Ozzig, Anyone, who knows my tenure on this website knows that I am a positive person, and not what he is miserably failing to portray me, as.
Do you seriously think anyone would be friends with him?? And, honestly the people on this website, are great people and would NEVER stand by and support such an individual, knowingly. These attacks are personal, in nature. He’s made it crystal clear. He has caused distress for other women on this website, and has disgusted most of the men, who have had to read what he posts!
I will never leave this website, so he may as well give it up, because the folks here are pretty much ready to lynch, his annoying psycho ass! And, he could never come back under ANY name! This person is the definition of insanity, and we all know it, but rather wish, he would just quietly slip back into the bowels of hell, where he belongs.
This individual has created an air of mistrust on this website, the likes which we have never seen before!
And, now I will observe radio silence, and allow the members of this website, to deal with the devil!
Dab, this is the last time you will hear from me, as I quite frankly have nothing left to say to you, nor do I have any genuine lost theories to post under my name.
But dab, if you truly believe I stalking you (which I sincerely doubt, reason doesn’t appear to be your strong point as I learned to my cost, and you are simply saying that because you have no rationality in you) then by all mean’s call the cops, I know that jcrofts records will reflect that I not ANY of the people you think I am! It is nice to have a scapegoat for all your problems isn’t it? And now here I am!
But that is by-the-by, the main thing is that you realise the (negative) you have on people especially new-comers to the site.
And with regard to valerie, i was refering to Valerie Solanis author of the S.C.U.M manifesto (look it up).
So go ahead, post something else to try and antagonise me (I’d love to hear you explaining that to the cops!) It won’t work, or just bask in the glow of your (false) victory, I really couldn’t care less.
But anyway, its been grand. Hope you find a new victim soon!
I didn’t mean to upset you Dab. I’m just a little confused, and admittedly curious, about some of what I’ve been reading. Probably bad timing on my part (the questions) but I saw it going on and sure didn’t want to ask anything at that time. I know you’re saying TK is hydra, but I thought in this post you were saying he was yet another person. It could be I read it wrong. I guess it doesn’t matter. I recognize the name but don’t think I’ve ever spoken to him. . Again, sorry for my bad timing and/or questions.
Oh. I thought it was all over.
I don’t know about anybody else but I’m glad the sick sob is finally gone. Dab is a fine person who didn’t deserve what this whacko was dissing her. The collective mind has had enough of the likes of him and his games. He’s right about one thing. We were onto him for awhile. He accuses shamballa of being TQ, then cause Dab keeps ignoring him the guy creates more crap for the girl. And keeps at her. Looks to me like a case for the looney bin. He better not show up in Dodge City again. Hope nobody on here is friends with him. Now let’s all celebrate……..
Yes, Dab is a good person and with good intentions, who will stick up for people and is not afraid to do battle, and all admirable. But I’m sorry, Stealthfighter, but you would know all this because of how long you’ve been a member on this site, right? Excuse my suspicions, please.
I don’t feel good about any of this. As many of you probably know, TK admittedly was a troll, but he always denied being THE troll. And as many of you probably know from previous threads, I don’t think he is that one. I think THE one is lurking around letting TK take the blame. Maybe I’m wrong, maybe there is major proof of which I know nothing about. But it doesn’t matter what I think. I just sincerely hope that this was not a case of mistaken identity. And I don’t mean to offend anyone by that. I’m just bothered by the above showdown.
You’re right about not being known by that name. I am tired of seeing nice people being bothered. As a female why would you and have you been so intent on defending his crap. Doesn’t matter which one he is but he is the worst one ever. You wouldn’t want to be attacked and threatened. How would you like it if it was you? If you like him so well then you hook up with him. Where’s your concern lady for your fellow females? The only places you show up is where the trolls are. humph that’s what offends me. bye
Here is another thing. Troll Queen places a post that should have riled Troll King and he doesn’t go after her. Makes his own post and accuses another member of being Troll Queen. Now he goes after dab. 1 +1 =2 last time I remember. People aren’t dumb on here.
Stealthfighter: No people are not dumb, and I see you through you JUST FINE. As a female, I have most definitely wanted caught the person who was doing all those postings, the real one of course. And I do have concern for my fellow females, which is exactly why I went after him myself. I have always had an interest in catching him. That could explain some of my showing up on troll threads, which certainly aren’t the only ones I show up on. But that’s really not an issue here, now is it?
Let’s get off the side-track now and start getting to the real issue. Let’s start with the fact that I have one username and you do not. If you would really like to take me on, by all means go for it, but come out in the open you hypocrite! Secondly, you seem really intent on hurling accusations, but you can’t seem to repeat simple facts that are written on this website accurately. You impress me as having ulterior motives. You trying to kill 2 birds with one stone, 2 people you don’t like, what?
Come on out with your real name and let’s see what happens in a real fight on level ground is like.
how paranoid have we become?
Lokeko, I am not paranoid, this person admits to not posting under their real name. And I would like for them come out in the open and repeat their accusations.
And it’s not a coincidence that this person is on here pointing fingers. He’s doing the same on other posts too.
I left this post this afternoon in total disgust! I thought this was over! With all due respect Miss Ozzig, I don’t feel that anyone is pointing any fingers at you. I really believe that people are tired of this. TK has been after me since Sept. 25th. Ignoring him has not helped. I have had enough! This all needs to end!
Taking up action against these people proved fruitless, and ignoring them is hard to do, but advisable.
I don’t feel that whoever Stealthfighter is, has any issue with you or anyone else other than TK. He has angered folks, but they will not confront him because they don’t want to incur the wrath which I received. And, who could blame them! I do not regret defending myself, nor will I. My only regret is that I allowed myself to display my frustrations on this website and offend good members. Judge me if you will, however, it is I who walks in these shoes. Whether I am right or wrong, I take responsibilities for my words as well as my actions. With that being said, can we drop this? Thank - You
My sincere apologies to all members and especially Radiotower!
no need to apologize dab, you were the one called out, out of the blue by TK. there was no reason for his comment on this thread. I suspect it was b/c no one ever reads his threads anymore.
AND to explain Ozzig, Dab seems to be saying that TrollKing is Stip. I don’t think she is the only one who suspects this might be the case.
We have all been acting paranoid lately. (Note—that sentence is not directed at Ozzig. If possible, please refrain from taking that statement personally.)
Ok, lockeko, thank you for that. I got ticked at a couple of statements from stealthfighter that I didn’t take kindly to. I thought I knew who stealthfighter was, but now believe I was wrong.
And Dab, once again I’m sorry if I upset or offended you.
And I don’t know Stip. Now if I can get my delayed work done, I can go to bed, but I’ve got a feeling I’m not going to sleep.
So your “thinking” is that this one actor is so important to the show, that they are willing to temporarily lose their jobs for him? They are going to jeopardize their mortgages, their kids’ education, their car payments, and jewelry for their wife’s birthday?
Yeah. That’s probably it.
I’m sorry but I can’t ignore this one. Its one thing to make jokey remarks but another totally to attack a member of this site. Dab IS one of the finest people on here and will stand up for what she believes. Why does that make her TQ? I am inclined to think she has probably hit the nail on the head when she says TK = TQ.
I am now very clear about the goings on over the Mis-identity. I was gone yesterday & have already posted over at DharmaSpy about this very thing but am reading this after the fact. It’s a little bit clearer now & I hope that this is over now. I think I will rest now as, I am a little dizzy from going back and forth.
@ dabiatchishere : I hope you read all of my comments over at theCF thread, if you didn’t I would like to apologize to you for any mis-understanding about remarks I made regarding “elitists“. I feel that you are one of the best contributors to this site. I have said & will state again that I am Only KSJ & no-one else. I also put something on the apology post of “DharmaSpy” that I hope you will take a look at. My only intention here is to show that I really, like most everyone else am interested in all things LOST.
How could TQ be dab??dab writing a time loop theory!! ?!
I know I said I was leaving, and I still am but first I first I feel I do have a few apologies and final points to make.
First and foremost - radiotower I apologise for what I turned your thread into, with hindsight I should have built my own soap-box. Sorry.
dab - it seems I falsely accused you, for that I am sorry, I do however stand by everything else I said, and if you take time and go back through the post’s specifically RaceCaR’s and BCapper you will see it was infact YOU that came after me! But it’s always easier to give rather than take, isn’t it?. I do not appreciate the comments you made towards me, as in spite of what your delusions may have caused you to believe I have not done anything to warrant them. That is the LAST WORD on the matter.
Dharmaspy - Nothing to say to you, cross-dressing muppet! Well whatever lights your candle!
Hydra - I like how you swooped like a vulture at the end there! Didn’t feel like jumping in while it was going on eh? But then you didn’t do too well the last time we spoke did you? (Yes RaceCar it really is that obvious, if you learn proper english your disguises will work a lot better!)
And now that really is the final word for me, I really do not feel I can go back to my old name, so it that’s it OVER AND OUT!
Um…is he calling me Hydra?
It appears he’s calling stealthfighter the hydra (swooping). I can see why he would think so. That’s who I thought stealthfigher was at first, too, due to the same type of behavior. I see nothing to indicate he means you though, so I wouldn’t worry about it (I doubt that you are).
I think this theory is a joke. But I’m new here and I don’t get it.
