I always get frustrated with movies and television shows that cheat. For example, if our season premiere started with those guys washing up on the beach? I would be like, wait a minute. Those guys were about 10 miles offshore. How did they get to the beach? I don't want to cheat.

I'm not sitting around thinking of ideas for TV shows.

In television, if I write that Matthew Fox flies up around the island so he can see how big it is, we have to actually shoot that. In a comic book, you write it, somebody draws it and there it is. No budget, no actors. That frees you up to really do some outside-the-box storytelling.

Michelle wanted to hang back and let the Season One guys be in the limelight.

Those who survived the explosion are separated from the rest of the group for the early part of the season.

I've always felt that really good prequels should be original movies.
