NEW! Hints About the Season 6 Storyline
In a recent NY Post article, Damon and Carlton hint that Season 6 will be a return to the roots of the show: focus on character-driven stories. This isn't terribly spoilery, so here you go:
The show has been a wild and often confusing ride, but Lindelof and Executive Producer Carlton Cuse say they know exactly where it's all headed.
"That was a conversation that started back between seasons one and two of the show," says Lindelof. "We are following the plan pretty much to the letter, although there is room for improvisation." Lindelof says next season - which will be the Emmy- and Peabody Award-winning series' last - will bring things full circle.
"Season six will feel a lot like season one," says Lindelof. "The focus comes back to the characters with whom we began. We've been winnowing away everyone else who came along. The Tailies are gone, only Miles [Ken Leung] is left of the Freighter Folk and only Juliet [Elizabeth Mitchell] is left of The Others. We're getting down to the end now." [Note: uh....isn't Ben also an Other?]
"The metaphor we like to use is that this is a road trip. We know we intend to end up in New York City, but maybe we'll pick up a hitchhiker or stop at a bar and get drunk along the way," says Cuse.
"And then linger there for six episodes," jokes Lindelof.
Will Claire Return in Season 6?
We do know that Emilie de Ravin, who plays Claire Littleton, will be back for Season 6: "Claire is a wonderful part of the show and the audience can rest assured that they will see [her] again on Lost," Cuse said. "It's just all part of Damon and my grand plan for how the story is going to be best told. And we don't want someone to be on the show and not be serviced well. The story that we're telling this year is going in some other directions, but we'll circle back around to include Emilie we think in a very exciting way."
