Lost secrets revealed by Damon Lindelof
May 11, 2008
ABC has found more hours for the final two seasons of “Lost.”
The 2009 and 2010 editions of the hit drama will be 17 hours each — not 16 as previously planned.
ABC has added two hours to the show’s production plan because the WGA strike knocked three hours out of the current season. To partly compensate, the network recently added an additional hour to Part 2 of the season finale that airs May 29.
All told, the changes will wrap up the show with the same number of episodes that producers and ABC negotiated last year.
“We were supposed to do 16-16-16,” “Lost” co-creator Damon Lindelof said. “But we ended up doing 14 this season, so we owe two.”
Lindelof, however, ruled out the show extending beyond the remaining 34-episode order.
“(Executive producer) Carlton Cuse and I worked so hard to get the show to end that I think to suddenly say, ‘Oh, I think we got another season in us’ would be a betrayal to everybody involved in the show — but most of all the audience,” he said. “It’s better to retire your number at the top of your game.”
For the upcoming season finale, Lindelof promised a more action-driven cliffhanger instead of the mind-bending flash-forward time shift that stunned fans last season.
“The finale this year will not be as tricky as last year,” he said. “Hopefully, this year it’s a little bit more of a straightforward action-adventure narrative. But the ending of the episode will hopefully engage and intrigue people looking forward to the next season of the show.”

‘Yes, you’ll find out a lot about Michael. But you’ll ALSO learn why bearded Jack was unable to jump. AND where the Others are holed up. AND, according to those silly promos, apparently someone dies, too.”
Lost, the Video Game

“Watching the tense faces of actors carefully carrying dynamite made for several minutes of very exciting television in season one of “Lost.” Watching the back of an animated character carrying dynamite as you make him walk through the jungle in slow motion? Not so much. That’s the fundamental problem of “Lost: Via Domus,” Ubisoft’s new adaptation of the ABC series that hews so closely to its source material it never gives players anything remotely interesting to do. The only people bored enough to play through this tedious and poorly conceived videogame would have to be stranded on a remote island.”

There are many questions we cannot answer when it comes to “Lost,” but here’s one we can: Co-show runners Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof confirmed today that they will produce five more episodes of the ABC island-castaway drama to air this spring. Before the strike, production had completed eight episodes — half of its season order.
“With three less episodes, that’s 18.7% less episodes than the originally promised total of sixteen,” Lindelof wrote in an e-mail. “Therefore, while it is true you will get 18.7% less answers, you will also get 18.7% less new QUESTIONS to bang your head against the wall about. So at least there’s that.”
