Did you understand the blog you refer to? "Damon Lindelof is almost
certain that his hit series will not end satisfactorily...That's
because network execs are a stubborn bunch that refuse to let go of
hit shows even after their natural story arcs come to an end"
When it was written is the most im****tant item in that blogpost: "Oh
well, I guess we'll have to wait a few more years to see what'll
happen when the hacks get their hands on "Lost" and start squeezing
every last breath out of it. In the meantime, let's enjoy the show
while the original creators and current writers still have a say."
Since that blogpost was written, the creators have been guaranteed the
ability to end the show their way. If one is watching the show, what
more could one want?

Has any television show ever aired without backstage dealmaking and
money?
