Hello, Damon:
I've been trying to strike up the requisite chutzpah to ask you this today, ever since I read what, to me, was a shocking quote by you, linked in the spoiler section. Actually, I read an allusion to what you had said in a different thread, I asked about it, and was referred to that other thread. ANYWAY (too much information, I'm guessing *lol*? ...moving on...), I read a comment by you in an interview to the tune that the mystery of the numbers will most likely never be explained.
I just have to let you know, as a huge LOST fan, while I don't need all the show's mysteries explained within one season, two seasons, five seasons, I do need to know that an explanation exists for a plot point that has consistently been presented to the fans as being central and key to the show. I don't need to know this season or for years to come, but I would be very disappointed if it is true that there is, in fact, no explanation for the numbers, no meaning, no significance, it was all a red herring OR something that doesn't need to be explained...EVER.
I'm hoping that you were just "yanking our chains" and poking a little bit of fun at how obsessed many of us fans are with the numbers, by casually suggesting, oh, there is no meaning and/or the fans will never know what the meaning is and you (Damon) "can't imagine" what the explanation could ever be.
Say it ain't so, Damon! You were funning with us...right? RIGHT? This would be a good time to chime in with a resounding "Right!", fyi.
Meanwhile, LOST is the best show on television and one of my top two faves EVER in TV history (right up there with "I Love Lucy"...I have eclectic taste, what can I say?). And like I said, I don't need to know the explanation to the numbers meaning/significance/power right this second, or this season, or next, just that there is one. I want LOST on the air for many, many years to come, and ongoing mysteries are part of the wonderful package. Just so long as I know that there IS a significance to the numbers and that SOMEDAY we will all know what it is, I'll be good to go for a few decades without knowing!
