Lost producers planning the series demise?
I hate when producers start talking about the end of a series, especially one I love! But it looks like the producers want to set a series end point, so they can plot things towards to series finale.
“It’s time for us to find an endpoint to the show,” said Cuse, speaking Sunday at ABC’s portion of the TV Critics Assn. press tour. “It’s a struggle for us, because we don’t know if we have three years, four years or more to go. If we had an endpoint, then we could figure out where everything goes.”
Such a move would placate fans of the show, who frequently gripe that they have no indication whether the show’s ever-increasing mysteries will pay off. A set timetable would send a message to viewers that all of their questions will be answered eventually.
“Once we figure out when that will be, a lot of those concerns will go away,” Cuse said. “The worst point is when a show ends and no one cares. We don’t want that to happen. We want to make the shows good for as long as we do the show.”
They also go on to say that episode 100 would be a good end-point for the series. Going at the current rate, episode 100 would fall in the fifth season.
They obviously went into the interview with having the series finale in mind… they talk about other things that have overstayed welcomes (such as X-Files, Harry Potter), something they want to prevent happening to Lost.
Hmmmm…..
