Lost star 'can't see any end in sight'
Wednesday 20 January 2010
Warning: spoiler alert!
Asked by TVGuide.com about his feelings as the series nears an end, Emerson, who plays Ben, said: "I feel great curiosity, because from what I've shot up to this point, I don't see any end in sight.
"The storyline is continuing to expand instead of contract. It's grown more fragmented, rather than becoming more unified. The threads aren't joining up, they're flying away. It will be dazzling to see.
"Certain big mysteries on this show are being answered. Every episode, something huge is falling into place, but it's still a mystery."
On the subject of whether he wanted redemption for Ben, the actor said: "I don't know. I used to have more of a craving for an ending than I do now. Sometimes I think characters are maybe best left alone. I don't know why I thought redemption was going to be satisfying.
"Maybe what's satisfying is that some things never change. I think there will be all kinds of endings for all kinds of characters on our show, but maybe Ben just walks away to do whatever it is he's already been doing for his whole life."
When asked whether he thought fans would be satisfied with the ending, Emerson replied: "Some will, some won't, I'm sure. That was bound to be, no matter what the ending is. There will be argument about it...
"I have high hopes for it being one of those things where you go, 'Oh my God, yeah!' or 'Oh, it's been that all along. I never knew what I was looking at until now'.
"I hope it's a thing that sends us back to Season One and makes us start looking at it all over again with new eyes."
