Javi’s Greatest Hits
The announcement that Javi Grillo-Marxuach is leaving "LOST" is stunning to be sure, and brimming with all sorts of possibilities. One could read between the lines with the recent hiring of new writers and Javi"s statements that some sweeping changes are coming in the LOST universe.
But let"s not worry about that just yet. Instead let’s take a moment to celebrate the genius works of Mr. Grillo-Marxuach! Javi’s contributions have included some of the major plot twists and genius reveals on "LOST". Certainly he has contributed extensively to the patchwork of accessibility and "thinking-person’s-tv" that is "LOST". It will be very interesting to see where he goes next!
