All The Rage talks to Damon Lindelof
All The Rage point man Blair Marnell sits down with "Lost" co-creator Damon Lindelof for a special edition of the rumor column. The interview touches on Lindelof's upcoming Ultimate Woverine vs. Hulk mini-series (with art from Leinil Yu), but more interestingly, Marnells delves deep into pressing questions about the writer's day job:
I know that the big criticism of the show is that we don’t give satisfactory answers to our mysteries. I would just hope that the fans exercise patience and restraint and remember that the show is primarily about the characters and what they are going through on the show. That if the fans trust us the answers will come. I think that the problem with a show like Twin Peaks, people look back on it fondly, but they say “Once we found out who killed Laura Palmer, I wasn’t interested in the show anymore.” So, the fact is, every time we answer a mystery, we have to lay seeds for a new mystery. I think that gives the audience the illusion that we are always engaging in some sort of con game with them. But that is just the nature of the beast. Moving forward into season two, you will find out in the first five minutes of the season premiere, what’s in the hatch. Once you find out what’s in the hatch, that is going to create more questions as to how it got there and what it’s purpose is. The truth is in there… I would hope.

I wish Leinel Yu had stuck with DC and was doing something cool, like a Batman ongoing or something.
I agree. He was a big loss for them.
