• Here’s a Q&A with Damon Lindelof. Time travel plays a big role this season, but Damon Lindelof says traveling through time was built into the show's DNA. "The big question going into this year is this idea of, there's only two fundamental approaches to time travel," says Lindelof. "There's the 'Back to the Future'/'Heroes' approach where you can go back and change things, that stepping on a butterfly, suddenly, there's a different president, people have antenna, George McFly's a best-selling author. And the other way is, if you went back in time and tried to kill Hitler, you would fail, because Hitler wasn't assassinated. What would happen if you were in the past and tried to change the present as you knew it, would you A)Fail, or B)Succeed, or C)Cause the thing you were trying to prevent. And that's really interesting to us, because there's no (do-over's)."
