Lost showrunner Carlton Cuse has once again defended the divisive finale, noting that it "was not a show about people lost on an island".
The series, which wrapped up eight years ago, came to a controversial end, with fans pretty much either loving it or hating it.
However, Cuse praised what the team did with the episode, saying in a keynote address at Series Mania that they "told the ending we wanted to tell".
"Lost was not a show about people lost on an island, but in their lives, searching for meaning and purpose," he said (via Variety). "[The finale] speaks to this notion of how we need other people to get us through our journeys in life."
While the finale didn't answer many fans' questions, we've always thought it's a beautiful piece of television – read our defence of it here.
Meanwhile, buzz has surfaced in the past year or so that Lost could be revived (because its 2018, and past shows are missing out if they're NOT in revival talks).
What to Read Next
Cuse has said before that he was excited about the possibility of a return to the Lost universe, though ABC president Channing Dungey has since revealed that it is yet to get off the ground.
"We have not had any official discussions about that," she clarified. "It's something that's on a list of, 'Wouldn't that be great if...' but at this point it's only at that place."
Lost originally aired on ABC in the US from 2004 to 2010.
