To see the whole thing, you&#8217;ll of course need to buy one of those box sets. In the meantime, however, ABC has released a brief clip from it. Yes, it has answers. (Well, <em>an<\/em> answer.)

He describes the complete epilogue as an &#8220;answer-fest&#8221; and says, <em>&#8220;A lot of fans&#8217; burning questions are answered, and we got some answers to questions we didn&#8217;t even know we had. It is a little chopped-together, though, and that half of the video seems like a checklist of questions being rapidly marked off.&#8221; <\/em><\/p>\n<p>This sounds like the producers of the series are using the epilogue as a way to appease those viewers who were upset that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/lost-the-end\/\">finale episode<\/a> didn&#8217;t wrap up enough of the show&#8217;s lingering mysteries. While I was personally satisfied with the finale, this sounds like a pretty good idea to me.<\/p>\n<p>In related news, the latest (August 13) issue of &#8216;Entertainment Weekly&#8217; has a new interview with Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse in which the Executive Producers talk specifically about fan reaction to the finale.<\/p>\n<p>When asked, <em>&#8220;How do you feel about those fans who really hated the finale?&#8221;<\/em>, Lindelof responds: <em>&#8220;To be clear, we are not indifferent to fan reaction. We care about what they think. A lot. And the hardest part for me about the end of Lost has been the people who are so angry at the show. To read that I personally wasted the last six years of your life, or to read that people think we lied to them \u2013 it&#8217;s very hurtful. It sucks to hear that.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Cuse is a little more diplomatic in saying, <em>&#8220;It was never going to be possible for us to fulfill everyone&#8217;s expectations or desires for the show. But the fact that there seems to be a significant amount of people for whom the finale was very meaningful is very gratifying.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>You can find this excerpt and a description of the interview <a href=\"https:\/\/popwatch.ew.com\/2010\/08\/06\/lost-in-ew-exec-producers-carlton-cuse-and-damon-lindelof-speak-plus-a-preview-of-the-season-6-dvd\/\">on the magazine&#8217;s web site<\/a>, but you&#8217;ll need to actually buy the issue to read the whole thing.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;Lost&#8217; fans are no doubt all aware of the news that the upcoming Blu-ray and DVD releases for the show&#8217;s final season will include a new 12-minute epilogue scene featuring Ben and Hurley, called &#8216;The New Man in Charge&#8217;.
