Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse recently took the stage of the ABC Press Tour and spilled a couple of Lost Season 5 secrets.
Damon says that they are definitely working on how they will manage the split casts next season… what with the Oceanix Six off island and the remaining losties still stuck! “We have that [issue] intensely in mind,” Damon says. He says that they find that separating characters geographically and emotionally is a valuable storyline tool for them, but they’re aware that they can only do that for so long before audiences get impatient.
Damon continued speaking about Season 5, saying “This is a tricky year for us. This is like The Two Towers [portion of The Lord of the Rings saga] … it links us to the final season.” They know what they’ve wanted to do in the final season for a long time, but it’s a challenge to make THIS season engaging and exciting. “The worst thing we could ever do on the show is for the show to be boring … If we’re going to be bad, we’re going to be spectacularly bad.”
Damon and Carlton also chatted a big about Harold Perrineau’s recent outspoken ideas regarding Michael’s death. “The show has to be an equal-opportunity murderer … We’ve killed a lot of white people. And I can almost guarantee we will be killing more white people this season,” Damon relates.
