Lost co-creators, Damon Lindelof and Carleton Cuse recently sat down with a Chicago Tribune reported and discussed the upcoming season of the show, which will be the show’s last.
Of particular interest was what they said about the show’s final image.
Lindelof: “The one promise that we are making is that what we’re not going to do is leave the show hanging so we can pick up the ball and run with it two years from now in some other television project or movie. I think that we owe ourselves and the story and the audience a sense of finality.”
Cuse: “The most complete ending that we can give them.”
Lindelof: “Yeah, you can’t break up with somebody and say, “Let’s not go out anymore, but I still want to sleep together, I still want to live in the same house, and we should still go on dates all the time.” No. If it’s over, it’s over. ”
“We’re trying to create a season that really feels like it’s over as opposed to [left open-ended]. People keep saying, “Is there going to be a Sopranos movie?” And I actually feel the question in itself is offensive to anybody who likes the cut-to-black [ending] because it completely neutralizes the deftness. Carlton and I happen to be huge fans of the “Sopranos.” But to do a “Sopranos” movie, you could never watch that series finale again with any level of respect [if you know] know that something followed it. ”
