Are you addicted to Lost? Me too. It may be a trend. However, it could also be a problem. The show’s growing popularity means that the authors need to keep expanding the plot without ever answering the root questions: why are they there? what’s the show about?
The upcoming Entertainment Weekly features an interview with Stephen King who provides his answer to the key question, “How would you end lost?”
I would take the main guy, Jack – the first shot of the whole series is his eye-ball close up, right? What that always said to me was that from now on, everything I see, Jack’s the eye of the beholder. So I would do something at the end where I flashback to the airport when they were getting on the plane, and I would have him taken away by people who wanted information out of him.
I would have them hook him up to a machine or something, or feed him drugs, and reveal the whole series had been Jack’s hallucination, built out of fragments of his real life – people from his past, people in the airport, his father, of course, and the numbers. The whole thing would be a lot of shuck and jive. I’d make it work somehow. It would creak, but I’d make it work. - Stephen King
