Understandably, Damon Lindelof didn’t immediately let it roll off his back that George R.R. Martin thought Lindelof and co-showrunner Carlton Cuse had fucked up the Lost ending.
But in 2011, those were strong words coming from a big-named author in the days before internet fandoms had gotten quite so riotous.
Granted, a sizable amount of people shared in that opinion around the time of Lost’s finale and for years afterward, but Lindelof couldn’t be expected to remember what everyone said, right?
