There's a lot going on behind the scene of Lost and we'd do anything to know a fragment of those things! But, we take what we can get and are content with the little we know!
We've stopped at the 8th episode of season 4 and lots of questions have popped up since and I've just realized that all other questions from the beginning of the season haven't been answered yet!
But that's OK, because over the past three years I've gotten used to those silly question marks hanging over my head and dancing frantically as i get perplexed with each twisted turn of the show!
Well, crazy dudes Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse have decided to relief us of some of the agony and have held a media conference call to discuss all things Lost, including the season 4 finale, the fate of various survivors and what's in store for the finale scene of the whole series. AAAHHH!!!

Here's a summary of the most interesting things they've said:
Cuse and Lindelof have finished writing the season 4 finale and guess what? It's a three-parter!!!
the finale is entitled “There's No Place Like Home” and the first part will air on May 15, the second and third parts will air back to back two weeks later on May 24.

You might have figured this one already, but the dudes say it frankly: Sawyer is not one of the Oceanic 6.
The finale will deal heavily with the Jack/Sawyer/Kate love triangle.

As for Claire, who's been in the shadow for most of this season, this are going to change!
There are some very compelling events involving Claire that will take place between now and the season finale.

On the subject of death, the dudes say: "It's always a tricky thing when it comes to talking about death on the show. If we were to tease a death, like when Shannon died, it leads everybody to chase it down and spoil it. On the other hand, if we were to say that everybody is safe, that would ruin the dramatic impact of the finale. So, we're excited about what's happening and there are definitely some very large and seismic -what does this word mean?- events that will happen to our castaways between now and the end of the season. By the end of the season, some people's fates will be clear, and others will not be so clear". Huh???

Lindelof and Cuse have gotten as far as determining the final scene of the series!
They say: "The last line of dialogue, we have a little bit of wiggle room. But the last scene has definitely been determined. There would have to be some major sort of shift in both our mindsets to back off that. That's what we've been working towards for a couple of years now, even before the May 2010 end date was announced." Wow!

What's your take on this?
Personally, i hope Sawyer makes it through to the 5th season, 'cause there's this sick feeling in my gut about Sawyer and an end to his journey!

The 9th episode of Lost will be airing on Thursday 24th April ... Hey! That's next week! Yepee! The episode is entitle "The Shape of Things to Come".
