Lost’s Perrineau joins The Unusuals

LostJust last week, Harold Perrineau was wondering why his character was killed off on Lost, wishing the producers hadn’t blown Michael up with the freighter. He wasn’t out of work for long. Harold Perrineau has just been cast on a new ABC comedy/drama called The Unusuals. The pilot, which could be a mid-season replacement on ABC, is an hour set in a New York City police precinct.

Harold will play Detective Leo Banks, an agitated cop who’s so afraid of being shot or attacked that he’s never without his Kevlar bullet-proof vest. (Does he wear it in the john?) Sounds potentially funny. The writer of The Unusuals is Bones’ Noah Hawley and the executive producer is Peter Tolan (Rescue Me, The Larry Sanders Show), so there will be an emphasis on humor. Maybe not full-out Barney Miller, but still funny.

By the way, if there are any doubters that Lost has definitely killed Harold’s character, listen to what writer Damon Lindelof said about Michael. “He sacrificed his own life to redeem himself for past mistakes and to help the Oceanic 6 get off the island.”

And if that wasn’t an obit, Harold himself has commented on his Lost exit, which he believes is final. “I’m disappointed, mostly because I wanted Michael and Walt to have a happy ending. I was hoping Michael would get it together and actually want to be a father to his kid and try to figure out a way to get back [home]. But this is [the producers’] story. If I were writing it, I would write it differently.”

British Sea Power - No Lucifer Lyrics

EASY! EASY! EASY! EASY! EASY! EASY!

Hey you, give me the dummy tits,
Forget the rest of the shit
The man with the skull and bones,
You think you know, but you don’t.

To Sodom I will go,
Not to Megiddo.
Several Lucifers come,
We can beat them all.

A Carlton Corsair,
A Raleigh Twenty, yeah!
A little lost roe deer,
The wind in your hair.

NO LUCIFER!

Come on, Allons-y let’s go,
Can always just say no.
To the anti-aircraft crew,
The boys from the Hitler Youth.

Silk and cyanide,
Six weeks left alive.
Metal, skull and bone,
You think you know but you don’t.

To Sodom I will go,
Not to Megiddo.
Several Lucifers come,
We can beat them all.

A Carlton Corsair,
A Raleigh Twenty, yeah!
A little lost roe deer,
The wind in your hair.

NO LUCIFER!

EASY! EASY! EASY!

Is that what the future holds?
Is that what the future holds?
Kevlar or cherry wood,
Malevolence or good.

Is that what the future holds?
Is that what the future holds?
Is that what the future holds?
Is that what the future holds?

NO LUCIFER!
