Is it subtitled? I don't speak Canadian.

Lost producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse were guests on KCRW's The Treatment. It was a good interview, definitely got me excited about things to come. But one thing was indeed worrisome.

The host asked the inevitable, "Do you have an end point?" question. Their response was that it's important to have an end point, that the audience deserves an end point, that it would be difficult to write without an end point because they wouldn't know how to pace the story. But they never gave an end point. They didn't even say that they have an end point and just aren't revealing it. And then they started saying things like, "You have to balance the creative side with the business side."

Uh oh.

Crap. What happened to their 5 year plan and avoiding the X-Files syndrome?

that's not what they've said on the podcasts. Likely they are hedging their bets. They are not totally in control of things. ABC has a say as well.

BEST EPISODE EVER!( well, at least until I calm down from my excitement )

Thanks the gods for a Locke/Ben episode. I've been a faithful viewer but the last three episodes were a downward spiral for me. But I LOVE the fire and crackle between Ben and Locke. And I really enjoyed the action and pacing and quiet all intertwined in this episode.

Drew Goddard did wonders with individual Buffy episodes when the over all arc of the series was struggling. I see he worked his magic again last night. Whoo!

I was losing some interest, but then since Kate and Sawyer escaped I've really enjoyed it again. Sadly, though, it looks as if they will once again be in captivity.

The whole thing with Locke's dad at the end, though.....that was major on the creepy side. The others must have had him for a while, since the pulse apparently made it impossible to navigate back to the island.

It doesn't matter if he came via "The Box."

Maybe Lockes Dad was on the plane the whole time

He may have been among the tallies captured that first night.

Hurley must have seen a Sawyer on the manifest durring that episode in which he discovered that there was no Ethan.

But if Sawyer was on the manifest that could only mean that another man by that name was on the plane since I am sure the Australian authorities would have deported James Ford..not Sawyer

Loved the part where Locke broke into Bens home....Ben sounded very frightened, but I think he was scared of his daughter, not an intruder. Seems to be an odd home life there. He has pictures of her everywhere, he seems to love her very much, but yet he must know that she would, all things being equal, see him dead. __________________ River Guardian-less
