"The show was never about all the freaky things on the island, it was always about the characters... and if you don't care about the characters then you don't know how to appreciate the art we created and it is your fault if you don't like the show. We have developed deep and complex characters and this show would be great in any setting and without the freaky island stuff. Philistine!"
