From the Star Ledger
But no matter how well they pace things, Lindelof also worries that the final answers will disappoint.

"Inevitably, of course you'll be let down. How can I or J.J. or anyone else possibly be better than your imagination? You don't know what your imagination is, but you have very lofty expectations. If I show you what the monster is at the end of season one, nobody in America is going to be like, 'That is so much better than what I thought it was going to be.' In fact, 100 percent of the people who see it are going to say, 'Wow, that is not as cool as I thought it was going to be.' So what did you think it was going to be? 'I don't know, but I was imagining it would be much cooler.' We think it's pretty cool, but we know people are going to be bummed out."

I just read this online and thought, 'you know I never thought of it that way'.* You probably won't be able to write anything better than what we've built up in our imaginations.* And I thought, that poor guy. That's got to suck for you.* So, I thought I'd let you know, at least one fan (and I'll try and recruit others) will look at it from that perspective and not worry so much about the ending.* I'll sit back and continue to enjoy the ride.* It's the journey that counts, right?*

Thanks in advance for making my Wednesday nights so enjoyable for, oh let's hope, the next 5 years.* *;)

I will pose this question:* Do you find it harder to write the show as you go along, knowing the expectations that are out there?* Do you find yourself not enjoying it anymore?
