Interesting interview the day after "Across the Sea" aired with Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse.
Don't worry, no spoilers inside. At least not spoilers of things that *will* happen, however there are some mentions of things that *won't* happen...or perhaps more precisely, a few minor mysteries that won't be answered.
So I guess that means still enter with caution, but honestly I didn't find the interview harmful in the spoilery sense.
Anyway, let me know what you all think if you read it. Honestly I find it increasingly disconcerting that the creators of Lost are so defensive about how things will end. It's one thing to anticipate the fact that many people will be disappointed with the way things actually end...it's a completely different thing to constantly need to put up the calculated wall of defense as they have. Honestly from their own podcast, this interview, and other such interviews I have become less convinced that they even like their ending.
If they truly loved it and were confident about it, you would think they would be excited and would be talking it up. I feel like a finale (and final season) should be a show's greatest moment. The exciting and sensational moment in which the creators are able to share the joy of what they've created and share the conclusion of their story that they have been keeping from us for so long.
Easier said than done I guess. I just feel like for a pair of creators who have always come off as confident and surefooted in their creation, they have come off as particularly vulnerable in this final season. I don't blame them...I know they have a mass amount of pressure on them...I've just grown accustomed to them confidently letting the show speak for itself rather than having to constantly reiterate, "the show will speak for itself, and we know a lot of people will hate it."
