So that photo shoot I referred to in this post was for Entertainment Weekly, and the issue is now on the stands — with a variety of different covers of the main characters from ‘Lost.’ It’s a big farewell to the show, with a variety of articles and reminiscences. There’s a piece in it called “The Dead Zone” (not online, tho) dedicated to those — including dear Ethan — whose “end came far too soon.”
The excerpt on Ethan:
When He Died: Season 1, Ep 15
How: Shot by Charlie, whom he’d once tried to kill. [WM: This is supposition, people. Have we not gone over this? Charlie’s hanging occurred off-camera, and Charlie never said who did it. We have an annoying little obligation in this country called burden of proof. Sheesh. Okay, moving on.]
On Learning He Would Die: “Although I had only been on a few episodes, I was looking forward to some more, and I thought, ‘Arrgh! To be gone so quickly after having tasted the fruit of the show.’ I felt sorry for Ethan. He was unarmed and Charlie pulled out a gun. I felt sympathy for Ethan. So I wept for me, and I wept for Ethan.”
I have no recollection of saying the above, but it sounds just like that whiny Mapother, so I have no doubt it’s accurate reporting.
