Will J.J. direct the final episode?

[God's tom]

I hope so! It would certainly be appropriate, since he directed the pilot...and what a great conclusion to the series that would be!

[bterrill]

as long as Darlton write it I could care a less who directs, but I find it unlikely. From what I've always read and understood the only thing JJ did was come up with inital idea and then hand it off.

[Hunkyhurley]

Not sure if he would come back. Im gonna search around online to see if they released any info on this, but it would be nice to see JJ be the "bookend" director of the series and finish what he started!

That would be so appropriate indeed since he and Damon pretty much brainstormed the main story arc. I think it's gonna be a JJ and Darlton effort. Just my guess.

I can't find which interview they said it in, but I believe it has been released that Jack Bender will direct the final episode...which makes sense to me.

[ManOfScience6]

They have already said that the director of the final episode would be Jack Bender and the writers would be Damon and Carlton.

Why would JJ direct the episode? He's had no impact on the show since the series premier, as far as I am concerned the show belongs to Damon and Carlton along with Jack Bender since he has directed the vast majority of all the episodes.

Yep. I think it was in an interview D & C did with EW.com recently.
JJ could never come back again and Id be fine. Damon and Carlton make this show what it is and Jack Bender is an awesome director...so no need to let JJ come in and ride on the glory wave that those three have maintained since they took over control.

Thats what I've heard also. Makes sense to me also. Jack Bender is so good at what he does.

I can't see it making the slightest bit of difference if he did. Darlton have been the heart and soul of the show since day 1 as far as I know.

Screw JJ, he's not part of the show.

They need to let someone like Bender direct it, someone who has actually put blood, sweat and tears inot the show over the last 6 years.
