This could not get out into the world. Maggie Grace Shannon Rutherford : They really enjoyed the spy games of getting people scripts. It was early then, before Marvel took it to another level of paranoia. I had to even purchase a special mailbox that had a lock on it so that they would be able to leave the scripts for me. We just kinda strapped it to a bench in front of my house.
If someone really wanted, they could easily just steal the whole mailbox. Yunjin Kim Sun : I got the script, but it was thinner than I expected.
A lot of the scenes that I was not involved in were missing. But it was like that the last five or six episodes. In season six, we had a lot of pages missing. The whole exchange between Jack and his father, Christian Shepherd, I definitely did not get those pages. Emerson: My whole gig at Lost was kind of operating in the dark. I got comfortable with that. Are you trying to get the ending out of us?
Why did I want to get everyone back to the church? Why was I reawakening everyone, what was my objective? At the end I got there. I knew what was happening as we were filming it. Cuse: We were really concerned about anybody figuring out what was going to be happening in the big church scene. So [during production] we hired two extras that looked like Sun and Jin and we put them in wedding clothes and we put them outside the church. Kim: What? No, no, no. There was no double me in a wedding dress.
No way. Garcia: I believe they had a woman who was like a Sun double dress up in a wedding dress and they would shuttle her periodically [to set]. I never met her.
Kim: Wow. I had no idea that was happening. Production of the Lost finale, which took place in March and April , was an emotional experience for members of the cast and crew, who knew it would be their last time shooting in Hawaii. The work could be physically taxing, daunting, and occasionally a little scary. There was a bit of a mix-up involving a knife. Holloway: I remember the [first] day we came to work, we were working on the beach, all the chairs around, and we all looked at each other, smiling.
What do you think? Cusick: I think people were happy that it was ending. I was one of the few that was like, We could do another season. I think at that time I was I remember Matthew [Fox] running down the hill and diving at me and I thought, This is going to leave a mark. Yes, they did. Holloway: I remember how crazy our stunt guy was. I loved him. He was my stunt guy all those years and the stunt coordinator at that point: Mike Trisler, ex-fricking Special Forces guy.
Just jump, you know? And he went ahead, 70 feet off that cliff. They have plaques on that cliff of the people who have died. Oh, shit. That was scary. Bender: We were really up there [on that cliff]. The actors were really up there. It just is. I think our line producer was really reluctant to have a shoot up there and for all the right reasons.
Because it was coming off of the ocean and the waves were breaking, the spray was up there at times, which made it visually fabulous, but also all the more dangerous. So we mapped out the action, totally safe and broke down all the shots.
But there was one moment in that sequence which I will never forget as an executive producer, as a director, and as a human being. Bender: We had a fake knife and a real knife. Terry was working with a real knife and the fake knife.
We had shot a number of shots in the sequence and were probably getting toward the end of the shoot. Terry was well rehearsed in when he would have the real knife in his hand, even though it was dull, and when he would drop it and right next to him, an inch away was the fake knife. Bender: We were doing this switch with the blade and Terry picked up the wrong one.
It was just to protect him from where I was supposed to stab him. So I stabbed him with a real knife. Bender: The scene ended with Matt rolling off and next thing I know these guys are fucking laughing.
Emerson: I chiefly remember being injured [during production of the finale]. I had torn the meniscus in my left knee on-set. We were shooting a scene, it must have been maybe three or four episodes before the finale. That was a bit of a preoccupation with me, so I may not have been as spiritually present as I would have wished. While previous seasons of Lost included regular flashbacks and, later, flash-forwards, the sixth season featured what were called flash-sideways: glimpses of the characters in a parallel universe where Oceanic had never crashed.
One of the more emotional trigger moments involved Lost power couple Sawyer and Juliet realizing that they had known each other in another life on the island. I was able to give the show so much rope in the sideways because it was literally the place that they made together so that they could find each other.
Contrivance and Dickensian coincidence, which is the stuff that we loved so much in the show, was really able to allow its freak flag to fly in that material. And when they did it, it was awesome, I thought.
Lindelof: We made sure that people understood that in the ever-after Sawyer and Juliet were going to be together. Those things were musts, they needed to be serviced. And hopefully the good side of fan service, where the fans really want you to listen to them. Elizabeth Mitchell Juliet Burke : I remember [while shooting that scene] the air conditioning was rattling like crazy and it was driving sound crazy and then we were all talking about it.
Then I just looked at Josh and the characters were just there and it was — I just remember thinking, Oh yeah, here we are. Holloway: Elizabeth was so sweet, is so sweet, as a person. I tried to get her mad. He then enters the sanctuary of the church and finds everyone he knew on the island, exactly as he remembers last seeing them. This reunion intercuts between shots of Jack, having saved the island, stumbling to his final resting place in the jungle.
So I called them [in Hawaii]. I think first I called Carlton. It was a good dialogue, it was a good back and forth.
Carlton is an intellectual processor, so he kind of worked his way through, he asked questions. Thirty minutes later, Damon called me back. We had our back and forth, and my recollection is whatever was bugging me was the final moment in the conversation between Jack and his father. Probably what I was looking for in that moment was maybe more answers and maybe more clarity.
I think that was what might have been playing out. The one thing I cannot remember is what dialogue was added, if any, to satisfy his note. I remember being very emotional and wanting it to be over. I get it. I know what to do. They went and did their work. And I mean, I loved it. Want to bookmark your favourite articles and stories to read or reference later?

The idea of the Lost characters being dead was a theory audiences had early on that the show creators decided to explore, just not in the way we thought. The most meaningful aspect of the lives they go back to when they are dead in the flash sideways' thought experiment are the group of people they met with on the island while they were living.
And through the flash sideways the characters all come to terms with this. One thing that Lost especially suffered from when it comes to the finale, is the idea that the finale took the easy way out. As already explained and I do still encounter this confusion between some fans they were not dead the whole time!
The only time they were dead is when they had their death scenes on the island throughout the series, ending with Jack closing his eyes and in the flash sideways scenes when they were in purgatory. The most central discussion in the series is found through Jack and John. Jack is a man of science and John is a man of faith. The indisputable main character of the series is someone who inherently longs to be in control and fix situations. As Lost unfolds, he learns that he cannot live his life this way.
On the other hand, John thrives off of the faith that the island is a beautiful place of giving that will answer all of his problems if he believes and submits himself to it, but he too is faced with heartbreak and disappointment.
Lost is an exploration of the human experience and has anyone ever died with every answer at their fingertips? Relive the key finale moment below:. What do you think? Did you like the last episode of Lost?
