LOST's Final Season Won't Answer All Your Questions

IT’S FINALLY HERE: LOST: The Complete Collection

We’re just weeks away from the final season of LOST on ABC, but if you’re hoping that every puzzling mystery will be resolved, you’d better get used to disappointment.

Executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse say it ain’t gonna’ happen.

“Obviously not every question’s going to be answered, so obviously, some people are going to be upset that those particular questions don’t get resolved,” said Cuse. “We felt if we tried to just answer questions, it would be very pedantic.”

Lindelof adds, “Now there is certainly a hope on all our parts that everybody sort of universally loves the ending that we put forward. I don’t think it would be LOST if there wasn’t sort of an ongoing and active debate amongst the people who watch the show as to whether or not it was a good ending.

“If I could put on my predicting hat, there would be people over here who say it’s the worst ending in the history of television, and hopefully to balance them out, my mom who will say it’s the best ending, although she doesn’t understand the show.”

They went on to add that this final season of LOST should be accessible even to those who haven’t seen all of the previous episodes.

“We are doing something different narratively which doesn’t require sort of deep-and-vast knowledge for you to get, and we also just feel like the stories that we’re telling this season kind of really do harken back to the first season of the show,” said Cuse.

“I think if you watched the first season of the show, that’s probably the most important thing leading into the final season. We do feel that there’s some accessibility there.”
