LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com)
FOX Entertainment President Gail Berman offered up the story Thursday (July 17) following her Q-and-A session at the TV Critics Association press tour. The series, which starred Dominic Purcell as a man who knew everything about the world but not his own identity, built a fairly complex mythology over last season but not a big enough audience to be renewed.
Central to the story was a question of who or what Doe was. Popular assumptions included that the was some kind of cyborg or alien or a man who had been subjected to some sort of government experiment.
None of those are true, according to Berman, who discussed "Doe's" underlying premise with creators Brandon Camp and Mike Thompson. She says Doe was just a regular guy. Now, here comes the big revelation:
"[According to the show], when you're very close to death, when you're seeing the white light, God or a higher being gives you all the information of life to carry on to the next life," Berman says. Doe was about to die, but for whatever reason -- Berman didn't say why Thursday -- he lived after being imparted with that knowledge.
The shadowy people who were after Doe knew what happened to him and were trying to keep him from discovering it himself, Berman says.
Looks OK to me (apart from the typo in "personally").
Anyway, I had to edit the text to fit it into the length limit having copied it from a post I made elsewhere - for the full text, see the fourth post down here: http://www.futurenoir.com/viewtopic.php?t=1684 .
No explanation about Digger, though.
