Lindelof: Lost Finale Won’t Answer All Your Questions

 

Lost‘s finale is only weeks away, but don’t expect an ending that’ll answer all of your lingering questions about the show, according to co-creator and executive producer Damon Lindelof. That said, it’s Lost. Did anyone really think they’d be able to answer everything?

Interviewed by the Hollywood Reporter, Lindelof explained that, while the series has an ending, it’s just not one that dots the is and crosses the ts, plotwise:

The series finale has to fit the show. We’re trying to end lost in a way that feels ‘Lost’-ian and fair and will generate a tremendous amount of theorizing. We’re going to be as definitive as we can be and say this is our ending, but there’s no way to end the show where the fans aren’t going to say, ‘What did they mean by this?’ Which is why we’re not going to explain it.

Ah, yes: The old “Well, you wouldn’t have liked it, so why bother?” ruse. That didn’t work in high school and I’m not sure it’ll work here either, Mr. Lindelof. Lost‘s finale will air Sunday, May 23rd.
