Hosted by and
Writer-producer Damon Lindelof wrapped up the hit series Lost in 2010, and he still gets lashed by fans who hated the ambiguous ending. Now as Lindelof launches the final season of The Leftovers on HBO -- another series that revolves around a mystery -- he still cares what people think of his work, but this time, he's stay far away from Twitter.

Damon Lindelof has spent almost two decades writing films and TV shows, including ABC's Lost, and his current series, The Leftovers on HBO. After 6 seasons of supernatural suspense, Lost had an ambiguous finale that some fans just hated. At the core of The Leftovers, there's yet another mystery that so far, hasn't been explained. As the final season begins, Lindelof isn't making any promises on plot, but he is vowing to stay off of Twitter this time. He talks to Michael Schneider about deciding to end The Leftovers after 3 seasons, and explains why his role as a showrunner puts him in an awkward position if there's another writers' strike.
