Lost Media

With the hotly anticipated sixth and final season of LOST launching on February 5th, Sky1 HD is proud to announce LOST REDUCED – a specially created ten minute play from the widely acclaimed Reduced Shakespeare Company.

The celebrated comedy theatre troupe have condensed all five seasons into a fast paced flight through the story of the Oceanic plane crash survivors. The world premiere is to be held in London on Thursday 28th January, performed for an intimate audience of competition winners. The production will also be filmed for internet broadcast as well as on the Sky Platform’s Anytime service.

Co-creator and executive producer Damon Lindelof and executive producer Carlton Cuse have praised the idea and granted permission for the production to go ahead.

In December, I interviewed “Lost” executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof over lunch on the Disney-ABC lot in Burbank, Calif. In a week or so, I’ll be using that interview to write a feature for the print version of the Tribune (I’ll post that “Lost” feature here too).

But with the anticipation of the “Lost” Season 6 premiere building — the start of the final season is only two weeks away on Feb. 2 — I thought I’d start posting the full transcript of the interview. It’s looong. Check back here for additional installments (there should be two more installments over the next week or so).

Yes, what follows is only about a third of the interview. I know! But given that Lindelof and Cuse were kind enough to give me an hour of their time, I’m going to share everything they said with my fellow island fanatics. Casual fans might not want to read the whole thing; if that’s the case, there are a few choice excepts here. All my other “Lost” coverage is here.

This interview contains no spoilers for Season 6. I didn’t (and still don’t) want to know any specifics about the season to come.

I was interested in finding out how Cuse and Lindelof approached Season 6 and how they feel about the fans’ expectations for the last season. This section of the transcript also contains the first set of ‘Star Wars references, and there are several “Battlestar Galactica” and “Sopranos” references too. Also, giraffes.

In the next exciting installment: Time travel!!! Later: Ewoks!!!

Here’s Part 1 — enjoy!

Today was ABC’s day at the Television Critics Association press tour, which meant one thing: Lost. Carlton Cuse, Damon Lindelof and most of the cast were there to answer questions, but if you’re looking for major details on season 6, you won’t find them here. Or anywhere.

We’re just three weeks away from the big premiere, and there’s still very little on what exactly will be happening in the final season. ABC still hasn’t provided anything: no episodic photos, no descriptive episode synopsis, no video clips, which leads me to conclude that season 6 is so insane that even the slightest glimpse will be a huge spoiler.

However, there were a few juicy nuggets to come out of the press tour panel.

-You can add Harold Perrineau (Michael) and Cynthia Watros (Libby) to the long list of former Lost stars returning for the final season. But as Cuse and Lindelof are constant deceivers, details were hazy. Cuse claimed all our unanswered Libby questions would be solved, while Lindelof said that was completely untrue. All we know for sure is that one of them is a liar.

-The final season will pick up right where season 5 ended. Since it ended with an exploding bomb, that could be the least helpful spoiler of all time.

-Cuse and Lindelof did say something rather interesting, that the best preparation would be rewatching the first season. Based solely on that, it definitely seems like we’re heading to a “back to the beginning” style final season.

-Emilie de Ravin claims she had to read the season 6 premiere script three times before fully understanding what happens. So either she was a bit rusty on Lost scripts, or this is going to be a complex mental battle.

-In one of those moments where someone might accidentally reveal something, there was an interesting moment when Terry O’Quinn was explaining that he didn’t know that he wasn’t really Locke during last season. Lindelof claimed it was easier not to tell him than to explain that “Thousands and thousands of years ago…” In other words, we now have some sort of time frame context for Jacob and his enemy, and it’s a really long time ago.

-While we still haven’t seen any clips or photos from the new season, we were promised that there will be something new before the premiere.

The final season of Lost premieres February 2 at 9pm on ABC.
