WELCOME TO THE MEETING, TWITCHY: Lost seasons 1-5, recapped in 8:20 8:15.

added: Is this the end? Well, of this iteration of Lost ...:
Q: Can you say definitively, after this final episode, there will never be another produced hour of "Lost" on film, TV, Web, any medium -- this is it?

Cuse: The Walt Disney Co. owns "Lost." It's a franchise that's conservatively worth billions of dollars. It's hard to imagine "Lost" will rest on the shelves and nothing will ever be made with "Lost." Eventually somebody will make something under the moniker of "Lost" -- whether we do it or not. We just made a commitment to this group of characters whose stories are coming to a conclusion this May.

Lindelof: Somebody made a sequel to "Gone With the Wind." Sometimes the franchise transcends the storyteller. The definitive edition of "Lost" ends this May on ABC, and that is the story that we have to tell. It has a beginning, middle and end. That ending will not have cliffhangers, or be set up in such a way that people will be saying, "Clearly they're going to make more of these." We don't have any connection to another TV series or movie, but there's a new "A-Team" movie coming out, for god's sake. This is a business that thrives on known commodities. "Tron" is the most buzzed-about Disney movie for next year, and it has been gathering dust for 20 years. I cannot imagine there will not be something with "Lost" on it involving smoke monsters and polar bears and time travel.

    1.  I so can't wait for 2/2.

    2.  It's (entitled) 8:15, not 8:20, and in this case that matters.  :)

    It is a bit sad, but at the moment, I think I'm sadder that the season premier may be bumped by the State of the Union.

    Hey, they made a sequel to the Old Testament so anything is possible!

    Thirded.  Not that such a thing is necessary in a parliamentary system, but I felt like it.

    Let's hope to God that's not the theme of this year's season of Lost:  "Ugh.  People, we're out of ideas."
