Maybe it's the social-media age, but it does seem as though the pressure on shows to find a perfect ending has increased even since Lost left the air. Finales have to be both incredibly artful and quite explanatory. Did you find yourself needing to check boxes when planning the show?

<!-- react-text: 355 -->Well, I think that there is an aspect of the show that is meant to be highly interpretive. But it always annoys me, as a fan of shows, when people are like, “That's up to you to figure out.” When you're writing from a place of confidence and saying “<!-- /react-text -->I<!-- react-text: 357 --> know what the answer is here,” the audience can feel that, and an episode like “International Assassin” [the surreal season 2 episode in which Justin Theroux's character seems to fantasize a scenario in which he's tasked to kill a senator] airs and the audience doesn't really <!-- /react-text -->want <!-- react-text: 359 -->explanation. When the audience as a whole is demanding explanation, that usually means you've built your story on a shoddy foundation—at least that's what I tell myself when I wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat.
