Damon & Carlton Reflect on their Experiences as LOST Showrunners
Cast and Crew of Lost, Interviews View Comments
Here’s a new interview from Variety.com:
Your hardest decision as showrunner?
CC: Firing anybody, particularly an actor who is dismissed not for any fault of his own, but because that’s what the narrative demands.Your favorite moment as a showrunner?
DL: Getting the call from ABC that we would get to end the series on our own terms.What’s your reaction when you’re recognized by a fan of the show?
CC: It’s cool but weird. Never in a million years did I expect that as a TV writer I’d ever have any kind of fame. Interestingly, about half the time people think I’m Ted Danson.Your biggest fight with the network?
DL: There was an executive in the early days who felt there was too much gunplay on the show. This forced us to resort to physical beatings and torture … which made them miss the gunplay.Your favorite “happy accident” in writing or producing the show?
CC: It has to be casting Michael Emerson in season two for a three-episode flyer as a mysterious “Other” captured by our survivors. He went to Hawaii and just took command of the show, ended up doing eight episodes that year, became a series regular the next, and we never looked back. Looking back, it’s hard to imagine how “Lost” could ever have existed without him.Your best collaborative moment on the set or with a network?
DL: There are so many. When the network executives finished screening the finale for the first time, we were prepared to beg them for the extra time to extend it another half an hour, but Barry Jossen just said, “You’ve got the time.” No begging necessary. That pretty much categorizes our relationship with them all the way through.Which shows have influenced your show?
CC: Since there weren’t a lot of antecedents to “Lost,” it’s a show that was actually influenced as much or more by books than by other series. Some of the biggest influences were Stephen King, Kurt Vonnegut, C.S. Lewis’ “Narnia” Chronicles and certainly the Bible.“I wanted to give up when …”
DL: The pilot premiered to huge ratings, and we realized we were gonna have to do this for a while.What would you want to say in an Emmy acceptance speech, but won’t?
DL: “Dad, if you hadn’t done such a number on me and then died before we could fully resolve our issues, I wouldn’t be holding this right now. Thanks, man!”
CC: Ditto what Damon says. We took our shitty relationships with our dads and, as the saying goes, made those lemons into lemonade.

Damon Lindelof Compares Star Trek Sequel to ‘The Dark Knight’
Cast and Crew of Lost, Post-LOST, Videos View Comments
We’re looking at a movie like The Dark Knight, which went one step beyond Batman Begins… It was really about something, and at the same time it was a superhero movie. We don’t want to abandon all the things that made the first movie work…but we also really want the movie to thematically resonate.”

Best Supporting Actor nominee Michael Emerson gave PopcornBiz his predictions for the 2010 Primetime Emmy Awards:
Outstanding Drama Series
Breaking Bad, Dexter, The Good Wife, Lost, Mad Men, True Blood
Emerson’s Pick: “This is impossible to call. I have a sentimental favorite among them. But let me say, I’m really pleased that ‘Lost’ has been recognized in so many categories. That hasn’t happened since our first season. I’m proud we have this buoyant exit and so many of us will be there that night.”
“It’s a tough one. But the more we talk about it, the better I like ‘Lost’s’ chances. If that principle is true, I think ‘Lost’ has good a chance as any.”
Outstanding Comedy Series
Curb Your Enthusiasm, Modern Family, Glee, Nurse Jackie, The Office,
30 Rock
Emerson’s Pick: “I have a soft spot in my heart for ‘Nurse Jackie.’ Something about the off-beat chemistry of that show. I really like it. I am sure the people that handicap these things think I’m crazy. But there you have it.”
Outstanding Lead Actor In A Drama Series
Jon Hamm (Mad Men)
, Kyle Chandler (Friday Night Lights),
Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad),
Hugh Laurie (House),
Michael C. Hall (Dexter),
Matthew Fox (Lost)
Emerson’s Pick: “Matthew’s had an extraordinary run on the show, but I thought his game was of a very high order this last season.” Though he calls Chandler “a stellar talent,” Emerson is still blown away by Fox’s farewell: ”Talk about a framing device. Years ago his eye opened and years later it closes. And in that blink is an entire universe. That’s so great.”
