Damon Lindelof e Carlton Cuse rispondono a qualche domanda su Lost:
Damon: At the end of season 2, we downloaded a hell of a lot of mythology in those last couple episodes. […] But at the same time, every time we close one door we have to open up another or else we risk falling victim to the Twin Peaks curse, which is that once they told you who killed Laura Palmer, there was no reason to watch the show anymore.
Carlton: What you might also be feeling is that kind of sense that we’re basically working on Episode 60, so that’s a lot of hours to not know, “What’s the nature of this island? Where is this island?" The overarching mysteries of Lost remain unanswered. But those questions have to remain unanswered until the show ends. That’s something we don’t know and we’re not in control of when it is going to end. We will attempt to answer some of the transitory questions, but obviously, the big ones have to stay unanswered.
Damon: Look, here’s the thing, Michael. We believe audiences aren’t really asking, “When are we going to get our answers?” They’re asking, "Are we going to get our answers?" And that’s a very savvy question for them to be asking, because of the nature of the television business, it’s sort of like, "Are they just stringing us along?" And all Carlton and I can say is that we are absolutely committed to giving you those answers. We know what the answers are, and we’re telling them in the most creatively satisfying way for us as storytellers.
Sia chiaro, io non ci credo.
Secondo me “Lost” è la versione allargata, riveduta e corretta ai giorni nostri della serie “The Prisoner” ed in particolare di un episodio nel quale la trama si svolge su due piani, uno reale ed uno immaginario. Vedremo.
Credo che la frase chiave sia: in the most creatively satisfying way for us as storytellers.
