Damon Lindelof's 'Leftovers' Finale Won't Be Influenced by 'LOST' Ending

More than anything else, I want to approach the ending of The Leftovers with confidence.

That’s certainly criticism I heard about the Lost finale, that it felt like it changed course.

I know there will be a disproportionate amount of emotional energy expended on getting it just right, but if I treat every line of dialogue, every scene, every character move with this incredible preciousness, I’ll end up rewriting it too many times.
