here's a great article profiling a q&a damon and carlton did for the 2008 screenwriting expo.
among their answers:
- overall mythological structure was not determined (or even really thought about) until the show was given a full season order beyond the original 12 episode deal.
- michael emerson was cast to play ben for a 3 episode stint, which also served as his audition for the character to be the leader of the others.
- "this year will probably be a little bit more science fictiony."
- mr. eko's botched storyline was the result of adewale akinnuoye-agbaje absolutely hating hawaii, and wanting to leave by the time they'd shot his second episode. "originally he was going to be someone who challenged Locke for the spiritual leadership of the castaways." such a shame. that could have been soooo good.
- possibly joking about their 'favorite scene from the series finale,' they said: 'it involves a volcano.' tantalizing, as the island's volcano has been mentioned a couple times.
