...partner Damon Lindelof and I won an Emmy this past year for interactive media. We’ve done a lot of things in “Lost” that have been groundbreaking, like writing for other media platforms and creating “mobisodes” designed to be watched on cell phones. It’s an Internet driven experience. We’re recruiting people to become interested in the Dharma Initiative. When we write for social media platforms, we write more about the mythology, because that is what these viewers are interested in. We include...

"Let's say I go to a Bruce Springsteen show, and he plays for four hours instead of two hours," says Lindelof. "Why? What is he getting out of it? Your ticket price is exactly the same. But what happens is, you go to work the next morning, and you say, I just saw the greatest f______ show in my life...
