Interview with Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse

Here’s a MediaBlvd Magazine interview with Lost Executive Producers: Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse

They talk about Season 3, and how our view of what we’ve learned about The Others so far might change by the end of the season.

This quote from Carlton Cuse really stuck out:

If we forced the storytelling, you would feel worse. Henry Gale was going to be in two episodes and the actor was so awesome that we ended up having him be in eight. But, the plan to discover a prisoner in the hatch and then have him turn out to be a significant member of The Others was always in play.

The way I read that, it sounded like “the prisoner in the hatch” (Desmond) is supposed to be a member of The Others… I have to assume this was a mistake, since they were talking about Henry Gale right before that.

Article about the lead writers of LOST

USA Today is running an article that describes the relationship between LOST writers Carlton Cuse and David Lindelof. It describes how they first started working together, how Cuse is the “science” guy and Lindelof the “pop culture” guy, and the mini “Lost museum” Lindelof has in his office.

I was surprised to find out that Lindelof was so overwhelmed by the Lost project at first that he nearly quit three times! It’s a good thing he didn’t!
