It was a classic non-denial denial: Reporter: "There have been rampant theories throughout the show in the last couple of years and this season that the story's being told because the mother is dead."
Miloti: "That's insane." Reporter: "Right?" Miloti: "No, I know. There's, like, some crazy conspiracy theories, which actually just makes me really love the fans more, 'cause I'm like, 'Wow, you guys are like, you're getting to the bottom of like something.' I don't know. There's just such passion there. That is so crazy." Reporter: "Right?" Miloti: "Yeah. That's like ... so I've only seen one episode of Lost. It was the finale. Right? Wasn't that, like?" Reporter: "They were [unintelligible]. But they didn't have a plan like Craig and Carter." Miloti: "No. That's really intense." The logical follow-up would be "Did Craig and Carter tell you what the final scene is?" Because whatever they shot wasn't the end. The end was shot in 2006. We don't know if Miloti knows the final scene (Neil Patrick Harris is the only cast member known to know, and that was after he badgered them). It's also worth noting that interview was shot "the day before the final day filming the nine-season comedy", which would've put it on February 27, before the airdate of Vesuvius. So it's one of two things: 1. A fakeout by Thomas and Bays that we'll figure out in three weeks, during which they'll be laughing uproariously in bathtubs full of money (along with the CBS sales folks who are getting $500K/spot for the finale). 2. The actual ending, and now Thomas and Bays (and CBS) are realizing that all hell will break loose, and somewhere there's a room full of people from all parties involved trying to figure out what to do now. You could even picture a CBS exec being told what the ending is, saying "I dunno...", and Thomas and Bays selling them on the fact that the show's dealt with heartbreak out of the blue in the past, and CBS buys it. I'm pretty sure it's #1. But God how I want it to be #2. Aside: I remember a couple seasons ago in Mad Men (I'm in a bit of a rush so I can't look it up) when Don meets a man named "Connie" in an episode, and in the comment thread of Alan Sepinwall's recap, one of the commenters mentioned that it was probably Conrad Hilton. We found out in the next episode that was exactly who it was (and Alan noted that commenters had it exactly right).
