Lost

Before we go any further, let’s make one thing clear: the polar bears maybe aren’t that big a deal. That’s just one of the hints Lost executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof dropped about the sixth and final season of the show when we interviewed them at the show’s Hawaii premiere party. They also told us a bit about the Man in Black, promised to explain the Smoke Monster, and told us who’s really dead.

TVGuide.com: The show raises a lot of questions, but is there anything that fans have focused on that you never intended to be a big deal?
Cuse: The polar bears. We sort of felt like we explained the polar bears. We saw polar bear cages. We saw Sawyer locked in a polar bear cage. But people were still like, “What’s up with those polar bears?” That seems to be kind of an obsession. Libby has also been an obsession.
Lindelof: The new obsession is basically, “How many questions are you guys going to answer?” And people are asking us that like Carlton and I are gonna go, “87. We’re just not going to tell you which ones.” Or, “What percentage of the mysteries are you going to answer?” But that doesn’t take into account the fact that some people consider some things mysteries that other people don’t consider mysteries at all or don’t care about. So we basically say, every mystery that is relevant to the characters on [Flight] 815, if they don’t care about it, then it’s probably not going to be answered. So if it’s relevant to them or they’re asking a question, then it’s something that we’re going to deal with.
