Quotes of the Day

Alright, I lied, I'm posting again. Hi! Just throwing a link to this conversation at EW.com with Lost showrunners Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof in which they speak about the rest of this season and the recent revelation that there are only 48 episodes until the Series Finale. They've gone and gotten me seriously excited for the next couple of episodes finishing this current season with their teasing:

"EW: Is it true that the season finale for this season has been given the codename ''The Rattlesnake?''

LINDELOF: ''The rattlesnake in the mailbox'' is the full name.

CUSE: It's one of those highly scary and vulnerable things: What if you drove home and stuck your hand in the mailbox and there was a rattlesnake in there?

LINDELOF: Here's how this came about. One day, Carlton was looking at his mailbox and thinking this: ''Wow! No one would expect this — a rattlesnake in their mailbox!'' He shared this in the writers' room one day, and every writer turned to him and said, ''What kind of sick thought is that?! Of course no one would think of a rattlesnake being in their mailbox, because only an extremely sick, deranged individual would put one in there!'' And it was that which made us think, ''Actually, a rattlesnake in the mailbox is the perfect name for what we're doing in our finale.'' Because only an extremely deranged individual would think of doing what we're doing.

CUSE: Well said."
