Damon Lindelof Cried Throughout’The fantastic Place’ Finale:’It Ended Beautifully’
Damon Lindelof has been linked to NBC’s”The fantastic Place” because its launch 2016. Not merely did Drew Goddard, an alum of Lindelof’s”Lost,” direct the pilot and serve as an executive producer, but founder Mike Schur had switched into”The Leftovers” and”Watchmen” showrunner to get ideas for the best way best to craft a serialized humor handling topics like philosophy, mortality and humanity.
Lindelof, consequently, turned into a massive”The fantastic Place” buff — and he is not afraid to show he cried while viewing the show’s finale on Thursday. “It ended superbly,” he advised Variety in the Writers Guild Awards on Saturday afternoon. “It was wonderful. I certainly cried. It was very understated and tasteful. It did not feel excruciating, which I certainly could have done. There could have been more teary goodbyes. And I loved how understated it had been, and just how much it reliable the audience”
Lindelof also appreciated the series’s shoutout to”The Leftovers” early in the event, when Maya Rudolph, who performs with the Judge, shows she is binging the series and that she almost ruined 2% of humankind after studying celebrity Carrie Coon never got an Emmy for the series.
“Clearly I had been deeply and personally touched and touched by’The Leftovers’ shoutout,” Lindelof said. “Especially for Carrie. But after I recovered from this… I am still crying on the’Parks and Recreation’ finale. Those guys are pretty good at this ”
Lindelof said he texted Schur immediately following the finale hurried:”I saw it live, that was a tiny bit annoying as you need to sit through all the advertisements,” he explained. “And I see it DVRed so that I can go through the full emotional weight of this. However, I had been concerned about becoming needing to be in the know. So when Seth Meyers began asking them questions [in the aftershow] I had been texting Mike. I am inventing a much longer reply.”

As for the continuing question of if he will create some more seasons of”Watchmen,” Lindelof repeated his assertion that, at least now, he isn’t itching to do anything longer.
“I know the culture writ large needs a firm response,” he explained. “Is there likely to be , is not there going to be much . And unfortunately the solution is,’not.’ I have been fairly consistent about that because we premiered the series at Comic-Con.”
“When I pitched the series to HBO, at which I looked at it , in the version of’Fargo’ and’True Detective,'” he added. “I think there is a really large likelihood that there’ll be ‘Watchmen.’ I believe that the probability of me being called showrunner begins to lose. I’d really like to find out, and that I believe I would really like to view television shows such as’True Detective’ or’Fargo’ in which other visionaries can come in and take their own conduct at it. I didn’t make’Watchmen,’ therefore I think that it’s hypocritical for me to say I am the only person who will do it. But I also wish to leave space for, if four or three or even five years from today I have that’eureka’ moment we can do the next one.”
Considering that the not-so-positive response among some critics and fans into the”Lost” finale, Lindelof did have a chuckle over the continuing demand he is hearing to get much more”Watchmen”:”We do need to love the irony of me today being asked,’can I have another year?’ I am OK with heritage.”
