I was thinking of sending Michael some Easter wishes and our semiannual questions. I'm going to give it two weeks for everyone to come up with questions.
Maybe our resident artitists could come up with a nice posterlike design that I could print and wish him a Happy Easter from all of you who want to add your name.
If you want an autographed picture, please let me know. You could either send it to me to my home address or PM the URL of the picture for me to print and send to him.
So, the drop-dead deadline is March 19. That will enable me to prepare the package and send it to him on Friday when I work from home and are able to go to the postal office.
Those of you who are sending photos to my house or sending URLS, make sure that they get to me before the 19.
OK, let's put our thinking cap on and send your questions as replies to this post.

Edith, thank you so much!!! I had several things I wanted to tell him.
From KC (FoldsLinus)
Hi Michael! In your last set of answers, you mentioned that you were fond of "Spring Awakening." I checked it out, and it's now one of my favorites. Thank you so much! What other musicals do you love?
What's the last book you read, and did you like it?
Other than Ben, who is Carrie's favorite Lost character?
Do you sometimes have experiences when you're reading a novel when you just go "Wow, this character would be great to play?"
What's your favorite movie from the past year?
Have you been offered any new roles lately?

Happy Easter, Michael.
I read Terry O'Quinn say before the season started, that a scene he had with you in Season 5 was his favorite ever. Now we know that he was talking about the scene where Ben killed Locke. Was it also your favorite scene ever?
When you read your flashback story for "The Man Behind the Curtain" you were worried that it would ruin your image of Ben as a good guy. Unfortunatly, the Locke murder seemed to have put some fans on Charles Widmore's side-- at least fans outside of this fandom. Did you have those fears of Ben being evil return when you first read the scene?
Have you had to give much advice to Sterling Beaumon about how to play young Ben this season?
Have you begun to think more about how you might like Ben to die, as we get closer to the end of Lost? Or do you still hold out hope that Ben will live at the end?
We all saw your new home in Los Angeles when you and Carrie talked to Kristen dos Santos. How does living in LA live up, or down, to your expectations of what you thought it would be like?
Has buying a home in LA made you more or less homesick for New York?
Have you begun to work out any summer plans?

Great idea, Edith. Here are my questions for Michael: (It would be great if you could ask my question besides my board-name also with my real name "lisa"  ) Aloha Michael and happy Easter. You often mentioned in interviews that you try to avoid the modern technology and you are kind of oldschool about that and want to keep those things simple. What do you think about the turn in season 5 which goes a little bit into sc-fi with all the time traveling and the way how the characters finally found out how they can return to the island? When LOST comes to an end, we all know that you would love to go back on theatre-stage because thats where your heart belongs to. Do you want to be on a TV show ever again? In interviews you are very funny, how about a comedy show sometimes? When your fans sending you pictures they would like to have sign, do you like the pictures of yourself they choose? Have you ever been in Germany? If yes, did you like it? If no, would you like to visit Germany? Thank you for taking time to answer this questions. You are the greatest. Kindest regards, Lisa. (If i made any spelling mistakes, please correct me) |

People on the internet speculate about how many seasons of Lost will there be. If Lost will end with at least 10 seasons, do you wish to be on the show untill the end or do wish yourself that Ben will get an earlier end that you finally can go back to theatre stage? You may modify your second question. We all know that LOST will end next year, with Season 6. |

I guess you could change it. I'll probably have a few more questions later. Also, a bunch of us who love these comics thought Michael would enjoy them as well. If you'd like to print one or two out to send to him, that would rock. Here's the link: www.theackattack.net/?p=497#commentsThank you, Edith, for working so hard to bring awesome everywhere. |

Fans on german lost boards talked about that. However, then I will modify my question. =) |

It was announced at the end of Season 3. |

Hi Edith, thank you so much for doing this. I have quite a few questions so plese feel free to amend or remove any you feel are superfluous.
Happy Easter Michael,
I have a few questions which it would be great if you could answer:
How is the weather today? (this as a Brit, is a mandatory question to ask!!)
What were your favourite stories as a child?
We know you are a fan of the bard but which Shakespearean character would you say you most identify with?
If you could star in a re-make of any film, what would it be and why?
And just some general randomness-
DO YOU......
-Sing in the car?
-Dream in colour?
-Have a favourite smell?
-Believe that time travel will (or maybe already is) possible?
-Have a visible birthmark?
-Multi-task?
-Have any phobias?
-Burn or tan?
WHAT IS.....
-The thing you can't leave the house without?
-Your favourite time of day?
-The thing you like most about yourself?
-Your scariest experience?
-Your favourite season?
Thank you so much for your time, Pip.

Thank you, Edith! I'd like Michael to autograph this pic for me. Would you be able to crop off the top a bit, some of the palm trees, so that Michael is the main focus? www.michaelemerson.net/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/ONA0_02-22-09_06.jpgHello, Michael: I've heard that the stunts that actors do to each other are normally supposed to be faked so that they don't really hurt one another, so I was curious whether you really were hurt during the scene in Season 2 of 'Lost' (when you played Henry Gale, and your character winced painfully when Jack ripped the bandage off of your shoulder.) Was anything special done to lessen the pain of that, such as the bandage being attached more losely or was that done for real? Were you acting that it was more painful than it really was or was that really your reaction? We liked the masks inside your house. I enjoy learning about difficult cultures and customs, so I'm interested in them. Each looked different and had frowns on their faces: Are they from different countries? If you don't mind, "What do they represent or mean to you?" (or if you do mind, "What do they generally represent or mean?") There was also a painting/drawing of a person on your wall, beside the masks. I was wondering, "Did you draw/paint it?" (ie: Is it one of your earlier pieces of art that you drew/painted when you were younger?) We also enjoyed reading your mother talk about who you were as a child and a couple of us wondered what you'd looked like back then. Did you look similiar to young Ben? Thank you! |

Happy Easter, Michael!!
I asked you in the last letter a question, but unfortunately you didn´t understand the question...so i will ask you again and will try to expalin what i mean.. :-)
What are your four greatest Hits in your life? ( do you remember the episode of Lost season 3: Episode 21- Greatest Hits..it is about Charlie, he wrote his five greatest Hits down before he went to his "mission"- swim to the Dharmastion (under water)...to push the yellow button...do you remember?..
for example 3 of my greatest hits in my life are: 1. to meet God
2. my wedding
3. to visit my favourite Countries, the Maldives and Hawaii :-)
..though..maybe the question is too personally?!
Thank you for your time!!!!...truthful: Nadja
Edith, is it ok, how i wrote?..can you understand what i want to ask him?..is it evident?
