Hi My Brother,
You know Kevin, the more I think about what you said about Lost - The Final Show - the angrier I get about J.J. Abrams & Company! Now I love & respect their work (i.e.- Alias, Lost, & Star Trek, etc. ). But they had a total disrespect for their Black Male fan base! And you're right...Michael/Kevin (our namesake), Walt, Mr. Eko, Abbadon, etc., should have been in that Church! The d**n Dog Is On The Last Show, & Michael/Kevin, Walt, & Mr. Eko, aren't !?! And I don't care how big the actor who plays Walt is now. That Church... supposedly transcended Time & Space. So Walt could have been there; no problem. And so...my vision was correct! Just not the way I thought it would be. We both saw something in the final episode, very specific to You & Me. Besides, check it out Kevin. J.J. Abrams, promised that the final episode, would prove that they knew what they were doing from the very beginning. I say the opposite is true. And I base it on Walt. If I created Lost, & respected Black people, & I knew what I was doing from the very beginning, I would have cast a younger Walt (or Emmanuel Lewis <LOL>), who never would have a teenage growth spurt. I tried to communicate this coming problem to you, in the 1st season. But I could never find the right way to tell you. I knew, & lot of people knew, that the character of Walt - as cast - would soon hit a growth spurt of adolescence, & that would make his character have to be removed from the show. But the character of Michael, shouldn't have had to pay the price, for THEIR (J.J. Abrams & Company's) casting mistake. Although the young Character Actor who played young Walt, was Great! He was in Antwone Fisher, a movie that really spoke to Me.
Now Kevin, if I ever become rich & famous (and I fully intend to), & I meet J.J. Abrams. He & I, are going to have a little problem with each other. And I'm going to have to tell him, what You & I think, as loyal Black Male Fans of Lost. He totally disrespected us!!! Hell...why not make Sawyer the Murderer!?! We discussed this. Not only would it have fit his character, but he could have easily been redeemed with Time. Michael (my namesake) is supposedly trapped in HELL on the Island !!! Hell...what island? Was there even an Island @ all? Were they trapped in "Limbo"? You & I figured that out in the first season! And I'm not going to buy the whole series on DVD (Pop-Up or Not), & look @ it all over again; EVER. Because You & I figured it all out a long time ago. But J.J. Abrams mislead us, & said, "NO...they are not Dead, & NO...they are not in LIMBO!" WHAT-THE-HELL !?! How could You & I ( two intelligent Black Men) figure out Lost (& we really tried), if the creators are lying to us?
And you know what? It's appropriate that J.J. Abrams got Star Trek. As you know, I'm a huge Star Trek (both Classic & TNG), & DS9 fan! And I wrote that great STAR TREK Next Generation Script, that stupid & lazy Lolita Fatjio lost! d**n IT !!! I NEVER EVEN GOT A CRITIQUE, BECAUSE OF HER NEGLIGENT ACTIONS !!! But back to J.J. Abrams, & the new "Classic Star Trek" films. I hope I won't have the same problem with J.J. Abrams treatment of his Black Male characters, as I did with the Late/Great Gene Roddenberry. Because he unfortunately, had no respect for his Black Male fans. And I think, if you're a writer, & you don't have any respect for Black Males, don't put us in your d**n Stories!!! Because I'd rather LOST would have been "Lilly White", than to do what they did to Michael/Kevin, Walt, Mr. Eko, etc. They screwed up, & sacrificed the Black Man to make up for THEIR mistakes. I'M VERY UPSET AND ANGRY !!! >:-(
So that's my story, Kevin...& I'm sticking to it. <LOL>
Later Man,
Michael
:-)
p.s.- I'm saving this e-mail Kevin, & if you don't mind, I want to post it all over the Internet. So that J.J. Abrams & Company, will have to read it, & also deal with it. Please let me know what you think. We can both post it. Especially on Lostpedia. lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page , "Donald Is Lost", etc.
