Well, ABC wants to clear the air: Those photographs were not part of the “Lost” story at all. The network added them to soften the transition from the moving ending of the series to the 11 p.m. news and never considered that it would confuse viewers about the actual ending of the show.

“The images shown during the end credits of the ‘Lost’ finale, which included shots of Oceanic 815 on a deserted beach, were not part of the final story but were a visual aid to allow the viewer to decompress before heading into the news,” an ABC spokesperson wrote in an e-mail Tuesday.

That means, Losties, that we were not supposed to think that Christian Shepherd (John Terry) is a liar. What Christian told his son, when they were reunited at the church, should serve as guidance for our interpretation of the series’ ending.

So let’s review: Christian told Jack that he was dead and everyone else in the church was too — some had died before Jack, as we already knew, and some died long after. The sideways flashes then were a step in everyone’s after-lives, a way to reconnect before moving on permanently. While there still may be unanswered questions related to that religious and spiritual conclusion to the “Lost” story, the photographs were really just a nostalgic, transitional touch added by ABC executives — and not executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse.

Love or hate it, that’s the final answer.

And to add insult to injury, a little over halfway through the Jimmy Kimmel special the cable went totally out! I’m sure, if you had opened your windows you would have heard the angry outcry from Losties in the WEWS viewing area. The ones I really feel sorry for are those that had parties to view the finale. So, it’s on to rerecording the whole thing on Saturday and watching as we should have been able to on Sunday.

LOS ANGELES – An Emmy rules exemption will give the talent behind Sunday’s extended-length “Lost” finale the chance to compete for awards.

The TV academy’s board of governors voted Wednesday night to make the upcoming “Lost” finale eligible for acting, directing and other individual honors despite the episode’s two-and-a-half-hour length.

The academy’s senior vice president for awards, John Leverence, says the ABC drama’s producers had notified the academy that the show would exceed the running time allowed under Emmy rules.

The “Lost” finale airs 9 p.m. EDT Sunday on ABC.

“It’s in production now,” confirms the source, who couldn’t yet confirm the actual running time of the new scenes. “Damon and Carlton wanted to offer fans answers to additional questions they couldn’t get to in the body of the final show.”
