Obviously the big question after last night's episode, leading into
that finale, is "How are they going to move the island?" which is a
fantastic twist and also, "Is Claire dead?" Is that a question that
you are wanting the fans to be asking at this point?
CC: I think that we want the fans to ask, "What's happened to Claire?"
I don't think it's "Is she dead?" I think it's like "Where is she?"
and "What's going on with her?"
DL: What's fascinating with Lost is there's a scene where Claire is in
the cabin, and she is sitting next to a guy who is dead, and nobody is
saying "What's up with that?" They're all saying "Is she dead?" I
think the more operative question is, "What is dead?" That's a good
question to ask, and one you will certainly be asking over the long
hiatus.
Can you say if time travel is definitely a part of the series?
CC: Yes.
=2E..This is a question I don't know if you can or will want to
answer...Does Richard Alpert age?
CC: Does Richard Alpert age? I think it's a good observation to say
that Richard Alpert has been observed in various time periods looking
the same, but I think that's all we want to say at this point in time.
However, you will learn a lot more about Richard Alpert as the show
goes on. He is going to become more prominent in the future of the
show.
=2E..DL: There are some questions that are very engaging and
interesting, and then there are other questions that we have no
interest whatsoever in answering. We call it the midi-chlorian debate,
because at a certain point explaining something mystical demystifies
it. To try and have a character come and say "Here is what the numbers
mean," actually makes every usage of the numbers up to that point less
interesting.
You can actually watch Star Wars now and when Obi-Wan talks about the
Force to Luke the first time we hear him, it loses its luster because
subsequently the Force has been explained as, sort of, little
biological agents that are in your blood stream. So you go, "Oh, I
liked Obi-Wan's version a lot better," which in the case of our show
is "The numbers are bad luck, they keep popping up in Hurley's life,
they appear on the island."
CC: I heard that Obi-Wan had actually experienced the numbers. That's
actually a big secret that's now been revealed.
DL: But if you're watching the show for a detailed explanation of what
the numbers mean=97and I'm not saying you won't see more of them=97then
you will be disappointed by the end of season six.
