Here's the Lost episode Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof think is the absolute worst
This year marks the 10th anniversary of Lost, and with it the 10th anniversary of talking endlessly about Lost—a tradition that, along with porn and videos of tiny hamsters eating things, is almost entirely responsible for the flourishing of the modern Internet. Uniquely, much of that talk has been driven by the show’s executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof (when it’s not driving Lindelof into social media seclusion), and a new Esquire interview once again finds them waxing nostalgic on some of the biggest lingering mysteries of the past decade. For example, who keeps making those tiny burritos and tiny pizzas for those tiny hamsters? Is it God? Is it all a metaphor for the hamster wheel purgatory that is life?
But more specifically, Cuse and Lindelof talk about the only real mysteries of Lost that are left after so many years of articles like these—for example, why Sayid’s fingernails were so grotesquely long. (Naveen Andrews liked to play guitar, apparently.) But, even more interestingly, what do they think was Lost’s absolute worst episode?
