Lost won't end Sopranos-style (spoiler warning): Stuff.co.nz

"Three days after the controversial finale of The Sopranos, the two creators of Lost have promised that their hit ABC drama would not conclude in similarly murky fashion.


"We will not be ending with a blackout," said Carlton Cuse, referring to the black screen that delivered an unresolved ending to HBO's mob drama.

He and Damon Lindelof told electronic-media professionals at the annual Promax/BDA conference that they fleshed out a plan for the last three seasons of Lost during a recent writers' "minicamp."

Lost will end in spring 2010 after 48 hourlong episodes, 16 per season. Lindelof said "Lost" has to move from asking more questions to answering the questions posed during the series' run."

LOST Stars Heading to the Big Screen

"Several of LOST's stars will be either working on or appearing in various theatrical efforts while the show is on hiatus. With projects ranging from violent revenge thrillers, political intrigue, and suspenseful horror, LOST stars Matthew Fox, Evangeline Lilly, Naveen Andrews, and Josh Holloway shouldn't be too concerned about having been typecast by ABC's island drama."

'Lost' season finale leaves viewers torn - Life & Arts

Anti-Lost season finale
Those wonderful folks at ABC are very generous to remind their viewers how great their lives are. On "Lost," Jack pulls out his best Jesus Christ impression by far for the season finale. Look, he's got one hell of a beard to go with all that makeup. All the "I'm so hurt, but leave me alone" speeches, drug binges and unrequited love get old really damn quick. Aren't you "Lost" viewers lucky that Jack will be there to turn the other cheek next season?

Seriously though, the characters on the show have had long enough to develop into more than the one-dimensional comic books they still are. You've got Julia the robot from the clan of robots. I don't even care enough about her to know the actress's name. All she does is squint her eyes, glare and puff out her pouty lips when she's done talking. Sawyer is the classic bad boy with a soft side. Ben is the soulless cult leader.
