Variety’s Season Pass blog has posted an interview with Lost masterminds Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse in which all of the questions came from fans. The ground rules were simple: no questions about what’s to come, and Damon and Carlton each committed to answer five questions each, for a total of ten. It fell to the Season Pass blog to whittle down all of the submissions to just ten questions (though they combined quite a few).
A few highlights:
- Regarding the fabled “lost Sawyer episode” which was filmed several years ago but never aired and switched instead to a Michael storyline, Carlton Cuse says not to expect that footage to ever show up on any future DVD or Blu-ray releases. “That was the only time we dumped an entire storyline,” he says. “[It] was not at the quality bar we have for the show.”
- In reference to the much-discussed “6-season structure” of the show, and how that was finally, contractually decided at the halfway point, Cuse jokes, “People used to be worried that Lost was spinning its wheels. Now the concern is, are we gonna be able to wrap it all up in only one more short season?”
- Damon Lindelof mentions, in answer to an unrelated question, that “the overall storyline of the final season has been planned for almost five years.” That puts the conception of the end of the show back around the end of Season 1.
