Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof has claimed that the show will eventually return in some form.

The Star Trek writer / producer dropped hints about a possible revival at Variety's Entertainment & Technology Summit.

"It's been two years [since the show ended] and we told the story we wanted to tell," Lindelof said.

However, he added: "I do feel like the world has not seen the end of Lost but I'm not going to have any involvement."

Lindelof insisted that he would be happy for a new production team to oversee a Lost continuation.

"It would be hypocritical for me to say I'm going to [reboot] Star Trek but I don't want anyone to touch Lost," he said.

The final episode of Lost aired on ABC in May 2010. Exec producer Lindelof was also the show's chief writer, contributing 45 episodes.

Why? It was bad enough the first time and that final episode was honestly the worst thing I've ever seen on TV.

I think they got in over their heads. They dug themselves in a really deep hole which, if they could fill, it would have been considered one of the best finales of all time. Alas, they kinda did the whole cop out with the "character driven" BS, rather than explaining the questions about the island the fans wanted all along. If they made a sequel that focused on the island, i could see it working fairly well.

You don't watch a lot of TV then, do you? :rolleyes:

I love how they ended LOST. I would rather they leave it alone, even if I do miss it, it was great and now it is over, leave it be.

They definitely got in over their heads and lost track of the story line. The show showed promise up until the end of the 2nd season and it was all down hill from there.

I don't actually think there's anything left to explain about the island because the whole purgatory thing can be used to justify any weirdness.

The only way they could have created a lazier ending would have been if all the characters had woken up and the whole thing had been a dream. The final scene in the church/hotel/whatever it was supposed to be was the cheesiest thing I've ever seen - I was actually embarrassed to watch it with other people in the room.

And obviously, you didn't get it.

The island was not purgatory.

They met up in purgatory AFTER they all died. Some of them died on the island, some off, some much later. But the 'weirdness' of the island had nothing to do with the purgatory at the end of the finale.

Agreed. I certainly wouldn't watch anything else they come out with about it. Already wasted enough time on the first series.

I actually got a bit confused with the finale.. not disapointed,,, but certainly lot's of things were left unanswered... and maybe that's what we wanted more.

The ending was just plain stupid and the direction they took really upset me. I loved the show but lets not forget about the 35mins of show for that hour time slot and the 25mins of commercials that seemed to have came in at the worst times and then returned the show a split second after a commercial ended. That right there was what I hated most about the whole show!!

I couldn't make heads or tails of it. I stayed lost the entire time.

I'm usually the one on google asking 'what the hell did that ending mean?' but I completely understood the Lost ending first time around. I just don't get why people still think that they were dead the whole time....

Loved the series, but it doesn't need to come back.
