The Tail Section

A few months back, "LOST" castmembers hit up ABC for a big, and well deserved, pay bump for season 3 contracts;  now it seems "LOST" producers Damon Lindelof and Carloton Cuse have done the same (again, very well deserved.)

Lindelof, as you probably know, was a critical player in the "LOST" genesis and along with Cuse — whose credits include one of my favorites "Brisco County Jr." — continue to be integral to the impetus of the evolving "LOST" universe and story-line.

Not that there was any doubt,  but I personally held my breath when I heard there were negotiations going on.  Yeah,  I’ve been a harsh critic of Lindelof’s bizarre practice of self deprecation and generally "disconnected" commentary with regards to the show, (much of which I’m sure is really being done in some bizarre sort of inside joke), but to not have his presence would certainly have derailed the creative direction of the show.  Heck,  we’ve already lost JAVI!
