It’s been a very interesting day if you’re a fan of Lost as there has been plenty of news floating about the net, just in time to get your excitement levels up for the February 2nd season premiere.

For your convenience, we have put everything that’s out there in one easy to read article.

Okay, up first…

The final season of Lost will use a new narrative device –

Carlton Cuse, Lost’s executive producer has revealed that the final season will feel a lot like the first season in tone. Here’s what he said…

“We feel tonally it’s most similar to the first season of the show. We’re employing a different narrative device, which we feel is creating some emotional and heartfelt stories, and we want the audience to have a chance in the final season to remember the entire history of the show.

“So we have actors coming back like Dominic [Monaghan] and Ian [Sommerhalder]. We’re hoping to achieve a circularity of the entire journey so the ending is reminiscent of the beginning.”

Exec producer apologizes for “shitty” past episodes –

Damon Lindelof, another exec producer on Lost, has been rather blunt in his assessment over some of the poorer episodes that have been made..

“Look, it would be nice to look back and say, ‘We love every episode of Lost and every episode turned out the way we wanted it to’. There are s**tty episodes of Lost that we wish we had never written.

“But had we not written them we would be in a different situation now, because we ran out of ideas, we stalled, then the network realised what we had been saying from early on – that Lost needed an end date.

“And now here we are six years later on broadcast with a show that is – not what it once was [in the ratings] – but still performing, and we’re ending it on our own terms because we had shitty episodes.”

And finally, season six may not be the final season –

Damon Lindelof also suggested that it is unlikely that Lost as a franchise, will die after the upcoming “final” season…

“The definitive edition of Lost ends this May on ABC, and that is the story that we have to tell  It has a beginning, middle and end.

“That ending will not have cliffhangers, or be set up in such a way that people will be saying, ‘Clearly they’re going to make more of these’. We don’t have any connection to another TV series or movie, but there’s a new A-Team movie coming out, for God’s sake.”

Then Carlton Cuse butted in with…

“The Walt Disney Co. owns Lost. It’s a franchise that’s conservatively worth billions of dollars. It’s hard to imagine Lost will rest on the shelves and nothing will ever be made with Lost.

“Eventually somebody will make something under the moniker of Lost – whether we do it or not. We just made a commitment to this group of characters whose stories are coming to a conclusion this May.”
