In the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly, Lost executive producer Damon Lindelof confirmed that Elizabeth Mitchell's character, Juliet Burke, did indeed die during the cliffhanger finale of the ABC show's fifth season.
"The decision to kill Juliet was absolutely brutal," Lindelof told the magazine, adding, "[Carlton Cuse and I] have to really love you to give you a finale death."
Taking a cue from the stock market, last night’s Emmy Awards were in constant, violent flux. The show opened with The Almighty O, Oprah, and then plummeted into the outer rings of hell when the reality hosts took the stage armed with ... nothing. Steve Carrell and Ricky Gervais managed to jolt the show back to life but then the Desperate Housewives took the stage and used their time to prove they’re the happiest cast on TV (Dana Delany kissing Marcia Crosses forehead was Manson-style overkill).
