I find it very odd that, in the year of the 10th anniversary of the debut of the TV series LOST, the biggest news around the world is a plane that went far off course and disappeared.<\/p>\n

Tony Rossi shared<\/a> some thoughts and quotes from the show\u2019s stars about the role of spirituality in the series, and in particular the series finale. In a recent Entertainment Weekly interview, the show\u2019s producers said:<\/p>\n

Cuse: \u201cLost<\/em>\u00a0was metaphorically about lost people looking for meaning in their lives. The ending had to be a spiritual one that explained these characters\u2019 journey and destiny.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lindelof: \u201cObviously, there are all these mysteries, and in the final episode of\u00a0Lost,\u00a0<\/em>we could answer a question that wasn\u2019t asked: What is the meaning life? And what happens when you die?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I still plan to go back and rewatch the series sometime.<\/p>\n
