"LOST" Entertainment Weekly Cover Article

EW.com has a cover story on "LOST." It's a pretty good read.

Some nice bits:

"''When they pitched the button, my first reaction was 'No f---ing way!' And I mean that in a good way,'' says ABC Entertainment president Stephen McPherson,..."

"'For me,'' he [Exec Producer Damon Lindelof] says, ''Lost is about meaning — and the search for meaning.''"

"Says Yunjin Kim, who plays Sun: ''When a character reaches some kind of redemption, perhaps it's time to start packing your bag.''"

>> This was true for: Boone (came to terms w/ his feelings for Shannon), Shannon ("redemption" via Sayid "believing" she saw Walt in the jungle), and Ana-Lucia (wanted to kill Henry Gale, but didn't)

...and finally:
"''The more I hear about disgruntled Americans who believe there never was an exit strategy for Iraq, the more I understand why they want to know that the story we're telling has a...well, an exit strategy,'' says Lindelof. ''If they can't get answers to mysteries in real life, they most definitely want answers on their TV sets on Wednesday nights. And they deserve them.''

What those answers will be remains to be seen. Fox, at least, is willing to say what one of them won't be. ''Nobody is going to wake up on this show and mysteriously end up somewhere else.'' Promise? ''That's a promise.''

Told of Fox's pledge, Lindelof betrays a mischievous smirk. ''Well, then,'' he says, ''I guess we're going to have to do that.''"


Those last quotes from Fox and Lindelof are ironic, since the series started off exactly like that: Jack woke up (on the show), and mysteriously ended up somewhere else- the island!
