We were both big fans of “Lost” when it started … and then kind of got tired of the constant shifting sands in terms of storylines and were totally pissed off at the ending (mostly because the writers themselves had dismissed the ending early on, but relied on people’s short memories when it came to the end). But we never knew, or even considered then, some of the implications of the stories being told or the background.

The following Vanity Fair article casts the spotlight on some horrendous things going on behind the scenes and be warned, it was so horrible that I couldn’t complete the article. I have no respect for Damon Lindelof or Carlton Cuse (not that I had before, but I did recognise their names and would watch shows involving them … but no more!) and it is horrible how human beings can behave this way …

@lolbat Yep, I just couldn’t read any more of that article after a point. So I have to wonder how all the people affected by this behaviour must have felt like … It’s just unimaginable for me 😕

I know people do behave this way but I still can’t help but hope that perhaps we can be better … maybe?

@f For me the canonical way Lost was written will always be as the Olde English sketch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAZ0pAIczA0
