Lost’s Finale Will Make You Swallow Your Soul
Michael Emerson is Ben Linus in 'Lost'
Lost’s Michael Emerson (Ben Linus) has told E!Online that the two-part finale is just about the craziest two hours of television ever aired.
“Ours is a show that specializes in big shock endings, but I think season five…None of the other shock endings left me wondering how the show goes on,” Emerson said. “We have two kinds of huge shocks at the end of this one. Each one alone would be enough to keep an audience eating its own soul for the whole hiatus, but with two, I don’t know what you can do with that.”
It seems Lost Executive Producers Damon Lindleof and Carlton Cuse have a good idea though with both telling the NY Post that they know exactly where it’s all headed.
“That was a conversation that started back between seasons one and two of the show,” says Lindelof. “We are following the plan pretty much to the letter, although there is room for improvisation.”
The final episode of Lost season 5 airs this Wednesday May 13 on ABC as a double episode titled ‘The Incident’.

Damon Lindelof says that after the finale Lost will have come full circle in time for it sixth and final season.
“Season six will feel a lot like season one,” says Lindelof. “The focus comes back to the characters with whom we began. We’ve been winnowing away everyone else who came along. The Tailies are gone, only Miles [Ken Leung] is left of the Freighter Folk and only Juliet [Elizabeth Mitchell] is left of The Others. We’re getting down to the end now.”
