Oh, this article isn’t that spoiler-ridden, but it does give you an idea of what’s in store for fans on this sixth and last season of ABC’s “Lost“. Showrunners Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof give us an insight into how the show crafts its last installment:
Jack Vs. Locke Cuse talks about this central dynamic of the show:
“Jack and Locke have always been at the center of the show, that dilemma of faith vs. reason, and the conflict between those two characters has been there since the beginning. It’s very exciting to bring that relationship to its conclusion, and we can’t really be any less vague about that.”
Wait, is he talking about Locke or not-Locke for this last season?
Bringing Back the Dead Cuse explains how this season will round out 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 [Somerhalder]. We’re hoping to achieve a circularity of the entire journey so the ending is reminiscent of the beginning.”
Narrative device? Cuse jokes:
“Musical numbers. If you love Bollywood movies, you will love this season.”
Lindelof continues to expound upon the show’s evolution:
“Not because we’re trying to be artsy, but the show demands constant shifts to best tell the story. We’ve known what we were going to do for a couple years now, and there’s been a tremendous amount of work setting up the premise so it would work. But we’re still wondering, ‘Will it work? Will the audience understand? What’s the reaction going to be like?'”
Hope you’ve marked your calendar for February 2nd at 8/7 C for the two-hour premiere of “Lost”! Set your butts down an hour earlier for the recap episode. Pending when President Obama will hold the State of the Union address, the schedule is still on. A White House spokesperson has stated that he ‘does not foresee a scenario in which President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address will fall on Feb. 2, the same night the show’s final season debuts”.
