LOST Finale - One Year Ago Today

One year ago today Lost aired its final episode on ABC creating one heck of an argument over whether or not it was genius, or the ultimate disappointment (I - Doobie - am in the genius camp). For the most part, co-creator Damon Lindelof has been mum on the subject ever since, but on the occasion of the anniversary he did give a phone interview with the Washington Post to talk about the show. The interview is in 2 parts, in the first Lindelof discusses Lost and how it's affected his life. In the second he is asked the question "if you could change one thing about the finale..." Other notable Lost bloggers are also asked the same question making for some interesting Lostie conversation.
