'Lost' bosses spill secrets! Well, sort of…

Talk about working down to the wire.
Part I of the “Lost” season finale is on Thursday, and producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse confess that they only finished editing the sucker a few DAYS ago.
The dynamic duo gave a few scoopy tidbits to Kristin at E! Online after last week’s Locke-centric outing. Among them:
• They’re really, REALLY glad they got that extra hour out of ABC for Part II of the finale because the scope of what’s covered in it is HUGE. They call the May 29 conclusion a “two-hour movie.”
• TV Guide and other outlets are reporting that the next two seasons will have 17 episodes each, up from the previously planned 16 (making up for two hours, um, lost due to the writers’ strike). But the producers say nothing is official.
• Christian is dead!!! But is Claire? Lindelof and Cuse were coy on that question, which is the hot topic in “Lost” fandom. They consider a more appropriate quesition to be, “What is dead?” (Sheesh, boys, the show’s confusing enough as it is…)
• Yes, the Losties are definitely time-travelling.
• As far as the Jack/Kate/Sawyer love triangle goes, the producers say they’re both Skaters and Jaters. How diplomatic! But they DO actually know who Kate ends up with … and no, they’re not telling.
• Thank goodness “Cane” got cancelled. Well, Lindelof and Cuse didn’t SAY that, but since Richard Alpert’s going to be featured much more prominently down the road, I’m guessing they’re happy Nestor Carbonell needs a paycheck.
• More Penny and Desmond! Lindeof noted that there’s a lot more to tell about that relationship. Like, duh! But he did add that he hoped viewers “will have a better sense of that over the summer.”
Does that mean a Pen-Des reunion before the season ends? (Tune in here on Thursday for our weekly “Lost” debate and I’ll give you my personal theory on that one.)

GREAT tidbits there! Wow. I can't wait but, at the same time, I don't want the season to end. So conflicted!
So Christian is definitely dead and not resurrected. Interesting.
