Lost and the four-toed statue:

[yendi]

From the Ausiello Report: Lindelof satisfied the crowd's appetite for Lost scoop by revealing the real reason the four-toed statue has yet to be seen again. After the monument first appeared "we got a note back from the network that said, 'This is too weird,'" he explained. "I was like, 'Do you watch the show? This is too weird?' Essentially, they said, 'Could it be a six-toed statue?' I was like, 'Someone explain to me why a six-toed statue is less weird than a four-toed statue?' And they're still noodling on that."


Can you imagine what would happen if we lived in a world in which network execs actually watched, understood, and enjoyed TV?

A lot of really good shows wouldn't be cancelled?

I tried to imagine such a thing, but it's just so far outside the realm of the possible it made my head hurt :P

So does that mean that the four-toed statue is never going to be explained? Hmph. I was kind of looking forward to that.
