Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse have said that when LOST ends, there won’t be a spin off, a sequel, or even a feature film based on the show. When it’s done, it’s done.
ABC never got that memo.
The network says that they want to keep the show going in some way, and besides special DVDs and movies, there might also be a spin off TV show that features new characters and a new plot. [Insert heavy sigh here.] Haven’t they ever seen After MASH or The Golden Palace?
While it’s true that a spin off can be good and successful (we talked about that yesterday), most are ill-conceived and just a way for a network to keep a franchise going for ratings and $$$$$$. These seems like one of those situations.
