Lindelof added that he wants fans to continue to discuss the show after the series has ended.

"I wish that we could say that the finale is going to be enormously definitive," he said. "We found that when we told people that we've got definitive answers coming, it's not as definitive as the fans want it to be, therefore there's this ongoing and vociferous debate about what things mean.

"All we can say is Lost is ending only once. There's only one finale. There's not a question mark at the end of the end. There's not a dot, dot, dot. This is our story and it's over. Hopefully there's going to be a lot of interpretation in its wake."
