When Lost ended on Sunday, it didn’t quite manage to tie up all (or really very many) of the loose ends, leaving the fans with a lot of questions. There may yet be answers on the horizon though, as cast member Michael Emerson (aka Benjamin Linus) visited G4′s Attack of the Show with this tease:
“For those people that want to pony up and buy the complete Lost series, there is a bonus feature, which is…you could call it an epilogue. A lost scene. It’s a lot. It’s 12 or 14 minutes that opens a window onto that gap of unknown time between Hurley becoming number one and the end of the series. It’s self-contained, although it’s a rich period in the show’s mythology that ‘s never been explored, so who knows what will come of it.”
Emerson denied the scene could launch a spinoff, although (and I’ma just throw this out there) that doesn’t sound like a terrible premise… hmm. I am certainly very eager to see the scene, as well as any other explanatory special features. Check out a clip of the interview for yourself after the jump.

Oh god please no spinoff. Didn't we learn anything from AfterMASH?
LOST is like a best friend, for 6 years, that at the end ran off with your girlfriend, robbed you blind, and killed your dog on his the way out! BETRAYED!!!!
Its not just about all the loose ends and mysteries that were unsolved, it just didnt even know what it was going on about at all. It feels like the producers payyed off a couple of new writers to write the final series that had never even watched any of the previous series.
Laziest writing i ever saw, and a nail in the coffin for many other tv shows that they ever try do… V for example, my friend says its good… For NOW I told him, wait till it ended and then see if it goes up its own arse!
I mean, what the hell was DHARMA for? The TEMPLE? Lighthouse? Richard whitmore? …..
DHARMA was a group of scientists that came to the Island in the 70s to study it's electromagnetic properties. The Temple was a place for The Others to live in and reside, safe from the smoke monster. This was also true with the DHARMA barracks or DHARMAVILLE. The Lighthouse was a window into the outside world, so that Jacob could spy on and pick out his Candidates. Richard was Jacob's #2 man. He was made immortal by Jacob when Richard told Jacob that he never wanted to die. Now that Jacob is dead, Richard is starting to get gray hair and will eventually die. Charles Widmore was originally one of the Others but was banished by Ben Linus(the current Others Leader at the time) to ever come back to the Island. He came back on Jacob's invitation and brought Desmond with him, who was a failsafe in order to destroy the Smoke Monster for good.
@LPFreak64 unfortunately, just like the writers of LOST you answered everything by saying nothing. Sorry. You didn't answer the questions properly. Perhaps the asker didn't phrase it properly. Let's rephrase: What brought Dharma to the island? What were their findings? What did polar bears have to do with their research? How did the lighthouse work? How did whidmore become an other? What's his significance within the story? Why was he at odds with Ben? Is he good or bad? How is desmond a failsafe (one would presume it has to do with being able to handle mass amounts of electromagnetic energy, but that's yet another thing we're not sure of). What was it about the temple that kept the smoke monster out? And thos are just his questions. a few of mine are as follows: What was the box that you can summon whatever you think of? (How they got John Locke's father to the island for Locke to kill) How did that pool in the temple work? How was it different when sayid was dunked into it? Why was Aaron a baby in the church? Did he die as a baby? These are questions that I doubt any run of the mill lostie can answer that we deserve answers to. We should be delivering our answers to each other as speculative and not definitive.
If you need more answers then you have no imagination.
Interpret the answers yourself.
Everyone expects that all questions must be answered.
No need, the Island is it's own mystery and was a side story in comparison to the main characters and their journey.
LPFreak64 answered what Lostisdead said about as good as you can.
And I would say the Polar Bear, was prob. there for testing electromagnetic properties on animals; like the bunny rabbit.
End of Line
What boggles my mind is not the lack of answers to everyone's questions, but the overwhelming number of answers I have for most of these questions. It seems as though many people shut there minds down, waiting for answers, instead of allowing their imaginations to explore the ideas that might be the answers. I also have questions, but for most of these question I have many answers. All of which may be wrong but, I have answers. “Why was Aaron a baby in the church? Did he die a baby?” No, of course he didn’t die as a baby. He wasn’t a baby anymore the last time we saw him with Kate. He was 3 or 4 years old and talking. Jack saw him as a baby in the church because Jack bled to death in the forest. He never got to see Aaron grow up. His fondest memories would have been of the baby Aaron. There are certainly questions I don’t have good answers for. “How did the lighthouse work?” I don’t know. Magic maybe? Why are you looking for absolutes in a story filled with smoke monsters, time travel, and people who live for thousands of years? What TV show were you watching? Lost was not a reality show. It was an amazing, Science Fiction story written by some very imaginative people. As Christian said to Jack, “I’m real. You’re real. Everything that happened is real. Those people in the church are real.” Jack says, “They’re all dead?” Christian replies, “Everyone has to die sometime. Some before you and some long after you.” Are they real, as in, it could happen to you or me? No, of course not. It was only real in the Lost world. A TV show. A truly amazing, entertaining, TV show. The only thing that was disappointing about the ending of Lost was that, it was the ending of Lost. It was, and perhaps will always be, my favorite TV show. For those that are looking for answers, go back and re-watch the Lost series. This time, let your imagination take over your thoughts. Perhaps you’ll find the answers you seek.
Can't wait. I loved the finale.
Cuse: You know what I've got a feeling that we didnt totally answer a lot of the arbitrary mysteries we created purely to keep people watching with no intrinsic worth
Lindelof: Hmm you may have a point, its almost as if our cynical nihilistic corporate approach to screen writing, while disguised as something revolutionary and hidden behind terrific acting and great direction, has been exposed by the fact that the ending we wrote revealed we had no idea what we were doing
Cuse: Wasn't every mystery explained by “Mysterious Glowing Light”?
Lindelof: Um, no, don't you remember? “Mysterious Glowing Light” was invented to distract the audience from our ineptitude
Cuse: You know what though, there's one thing we aren't inept at. Insulting and exploiting our audience.
Lindelof (laughs) : Yeah, I miss that. Hey, why don't we create 10 minutes of footage which doesn't explain anything more, rubs the viewers' faces in the fact we are exploiting them more, and make them pay for the pleasure.
Cuse: Yeah, maybe, but I want to go further. Let's throw in a few more mysteries to properly display our contempt for humanity in general
