LOST stopping at 100 episodes?
Following that Lost panel at Television Arts & Sciences this past Sunday, SCI FI Wire snagged an interview with Damon Lindelof, wherein The Nomad indicates that their hope is to end the show around 100 episodes (or after the fifth season). Quotage from Damon in the article:
“We all looked at each other at the very beginning and said, ‘By the grace of God will this show even survive 13 episodes,’” he said. “So Carlton and I are able to now sit down with [the network] and say, ‘Remember in the very beginning when you were having us convince you that this thing could go on for years and years and years and we all agreed it couldn’t? Well, now, just because it’s successful doesn’t mean that that’s changed.’ The reality is, they can produce a sixth or seventh or eight season, but would anybody be watching?
Preach it, brotha. Let’s hope the network is listening.
