That depends on whether or not he likes you. He is inclined to nickname you based on the way that you look. He is sort of the ugly part of us that says the things we may be thinking but are afraid to say. The only endearing name he has for anyone is Kate.
We obviously come up with these ideas based on the storytelling, what's cool to us. But then our masters will provide us with resources to do this stuff if there's a potential revenue stream down the line. So we're scratching each other's backs.
Michelle wanted to hang back and let the Season One guys be in the limelight.
The answers to those questions were a beginning instead of a payoff. And as a result of that, those answers are coming in the first three episodes of season two. Because they lay out the groundwork for what that entire season is about. Including the numbers.
Those who survived the explosion are separated from the rest of the group for the early part of the season.
Those who survived are separated for the first third of the season.
This show is an exercise in faith. Most of all, I'd like to thank you (the audience) for having faith in us, for inviting us into your homes, watching the show, supporting the show, believing in the show.
We're lobbying ABC for when the show is on, it's on, and when it's off, it's off. So, we want to air it in three acts next year. You know, blocks of seven, seven and eight. But in order to do that, we have to roll the show out in October instead of September, and hopefully that will work out.
What's in the hatch is so intense/cool/complicated that it actually takes three full episodes to fully understand it. Fortunately, these are the first three episodes of the show, so the wait is over!
Whenever we do a story or we show the monster or we find the hatch, that all has to be consistent with what we know the ending to be. We have a goal that we are working towards.
I always get frustrated with movies and television shows that cheat. For example, if our season premiere started with those guys washing up on the beach? I would be like, wait a minute. Those guys were about 10 miles offshore. How did they get to the beach? I don't want to cheat.
I believe that this idea of story or myth or this thing that Joseph Campbell writes about is sort of an inter-connective spiritual force - like The Force in 'Star Wars' - where it doesn't matter where you were raised, or what your background is, there are certain elements of story that totally appeal to you.
There can be things that are happening that are quote, phenomenal, but there's always a scientific answer to it.
My gravestone will say, 'Here Lies Damon Lindelof - Or Does He?'
