Damon Lindelof answers fan questions in a fantastic, revealing new Q&A at USAToday.com. In addition to some juicy Season 6 hints, the interview is jam-packed with other info and insights I haven’t seen anywhere else before. No spoilers.
The highlights:
- Right now, Season 6′s 8th episode is being written, the 9th is being worked on, and the 6th is being shot.
- The Season 6 poster that debuted at Comic-Con was very intentionally made and filled with symbolism. The exclusion of Walt from the poster was not an oversight.
- Walt’s overall importance to the story “will have a new significance when all is said and done.”
- The door is still open to actress Cynthia Watros to return and finish up Libby’s storyline, if she should change her mind about ever wanting to return. (Should we start a letter-writing campaign?)
- Like Nestor Carbonell, Jeff Fahey (Frank Lapidus) is a longtime recurring character who’s becoming a full-time series regular this year.
- The significance of the Numbers will be addressed in Season 6.
- Bob Dylan’s “Visions of Johanna” is the song Lindelof believes best matches the mood of Season 6.
- After the show is over, the writers are considering publishing a Lost Encyclopedia (!) that would address, among other things, the creative processes involved in how the show was conceived and created week-by-week.
- Lindelof and his co-executive producer Carlton Cuse will not return to Comic-Con next year after the end of the show, because they’re not interested in holding a panel just “to answer the questions the show didn’t answer.”
- ABC has not yet decided on a date for the Season 6 premiere.
