Lost Podcast Scoop

A few things from listening to the producers on the finale wrap-up podcast.
  • They weren't sure if it came across but it was supposed to be clear that when the magnetic surge was allowed to happen was the only time that the island was visible. Interesting eh?
  • They also have been lobbying to remove reruns during the season and show the episodes in blocks. Beginning next September the show will run 6 episodes which will run until the beginning of November and end in a mini-cliffhanger. Then they will go off the air for about twelve weeks and come back in February. After they come back the show will be on straight through with 17 straight episodes to the finale with no repeats.
  • For those of us who missed the monster in the last part of the show (and I know that I was one of those people) they give us the enigmatic statement, "There's a good chance that you guys saw the monster this year but just didn't realize that you were looking at the monster...by the end of next year you will realize what that means."
  • A fundamental rule on Lost is that they don't introduce anything until they know how it will resolve. (So much for the theories that they are seeing what their fans say and writing the show based on feedback.)
