Wired Magazine: As LOST Ends, Creators Explain How They Did It, What’s Going On
Cast and Crew of Lost, Interviews, Season 6 View Comments
Wired.com has EIGHT pages of amazing LOST content, including a VERY interesting interview with Team Darlton:
Wired: Do you still see man of faith versus man of science as the central issue?
Lindelof: The paradigm has shifted from that to, were we brought here for a very specific reason, and what is that reason? Locke is now the voice of a very large subset of the audience who believes that when Lost is all said and done, we will have wasted six years of our lives, that we were making it up as we went along, and that there’s really no purpose. And Jack is now saying, “the only thing I have left to cling to is that there’s got to be something really cool that’s going to happen, because I have really, really fucking suffered.”
Carroll: It’s like purposefulness versus randomness.
Lindelof:. That’s right. It’s order versus chaos, which is what it always was. But first it had to start as science versus faith, because Jack is a doctor and Locke is a guy who got up from his wheelchair and walked. Now the question has been boiled down to its essential root—is there a God or is there nothingness?
Carroll: Presumably, if it is order versus chaos or purpose versus randomness, there is no right answer. It’s not as if in the finale you’re going to say, “Yup, it was order.”
Cuse: I don’t think there’s a right answer.
Lindelof: But the show can’t have its cake and eat it, too. At the end of the day, if Locke and Jack were to sit down and say, “Well, we were kind of both right,” that would not be satisfying. It has to come down one way or another.
Cuse: But there’s still going to be plenty of room for debate when the show is over. We are going to take a stab at providing a conclusion, and one that we hope will be satisfying on a character level. The bigger questions, we recognize, are not answerable. We feel that demystifying some of the things we do on Lost is like the magician showing you how the trick is done, and we don’t want to do that.

Spoiler Alert: Some of the upcoming titles are visible on the whiteboard behind Damon and Carlton

Though it looks like that “glare” covering up part of it isn't an accident

There's much bigger spoilers than that in that picture.

I don't read spoilers so I thought they were fake spoilers?

I never understood how anybody could consider an episode title to be a spoiler. For me its essential to know the title of the episode before I watch it so I can wonder about what it means and then it's fun to find out during the episode.

Most of the people who regard episode titles as spoilers are ok with knowing the next upcoming episode. They just want to avoid possible hints of what's going to happen in previous episodes, which could happen if you know the title of a further away episode.

I wonder how long those notes has been up.

That whole board is a spoiler. Wow. I only read a little but there's no way that any of that information is foiler material. There's some real stuff there.
April 20th, 2010 at 5:43 pm
I know some minor things so I can vouch for those. I don't know about the rest but that stuff is definitely real.
April 20th, 2010 at 5:49 pm
It's pretty hard to read out most of the stuff on there

Please, do NOT discuss spoilers here.
