I'm so happy that it's ending before it gets just terrible and ridiculous. Most shows seem to out stay their welcome. LOST is doing the right thing. |

I don't think it would have ever gotten "terrible and ridiculous", just more backstory. I'll be sad to see it end. |

I believe that they have always known the ending as well. The question has always been how will they get there? Darlton has admitted to spinning wheels from time to time because they didn't have an end date. I think the journey could have gotten a little out of control without a definate end in sight. I was sort of just repeating Damon's sentiments from the interview.

No, they HAD to know the ending. As I stated earlier in this thread, you can't go to a major network with a show idea, ask for $3-4 million per episode but have no ending. They knew all of that before the show was greenlit as a pilot.

Dude, we AGREE. Seems odd to try and agrue with someone who agrees with you. But whatever... I'll say it again. I agree that they have always known the ending.

I think Dane misread what you wrote.
They've said since day 1 theyve known what the last scene of the series is. Only Damon Lindeloff, Carlton Cuse, and Matthew Fox know what it is. |

That's a major reason for the failure of Heroes, which was touched upon by Lindelhoff in that interview. They left it too open ended. If every season, the priority is to "save the world" and it is indeed saved, it no longer becomes a priority. |

I used the word "believe" because (again in the interview I posted) Damon has said some people believe it and some don't.... I was just saying that I'm in the camp that whole-heartedly believes it. I'm with you. I really don't see any conceivable way that this show hasn't had a rock solid ending in mind since the beginning. And your previous posts just support that further. |

Back on topic, I'm really excited for LOST to get started again... although I've been buried in "Dexter" and "Weeds". Dexter is amazing, Weeds has been "meh". |

Dexter is amazing. Though I've only seen the first half of the first season. I really like that show a lot. Weeds was great for two seasons, I thought. Season 3 was weird and I actually really liked the way S3 ended. I thought it was very poignant. So I just pretended that was the end of the series. LOST is the next in a long line of serials that I have loved dearly and seen come and go in my life. I've been really pleased with how most of them have ended (The Dark Tower especially). I'm hoping that I will be equally pleased with this show's resolution. |

Heroes season 1 is definitely worth it.
