Damon Lindelof Talks How He'd End 'Succession' & Sci-Fi Drama 'Mrs. Davis' | Explain This | Esquire

[@SystemFailing]

Absolutely delightful that his ending of Succession was the actual ending

[@frenchcoupon3391]

The man is a genius writer! Lost is my favorite tv show ever!

[@rebecca8958]

Legendary showrunner! So many projects would benefit from his vision. Lost and The Leftovers are marvelous throughout

[@gabelogan5877]

Damon Lindelof was outed as running a racist toxic work environment who fired a black actor who called him out on his racist behavior. He should never work again.

[@pewburrito]

@@gabelogan5877 not what happened whatsoever. That actor quit because both his parents died and he missed England. I remember hearing about it back then. And though they wanted to bring him back for the finale, he asked for way more than anyone else and ABC didn't approve it.

Damon on a personal level I secretly have a huge man crush on you (no apologies). My wife and have watched LOST 19X l, and it became the catalyst for reconciliation with my own mother (so thank you). Watchmen 6x The Leftovers 3x Mrs Davis 1x ..ready for a rewatch Greatest 4 shows ever created. Your dedication to clever story telling and your ability to feed us something we have eaten a 1000 times and still make it unique is what makes it ART. THANK YOU

[@tuckerhall8530]

My DUDE! I’d love to see him work with the X-Men when they crossover into the MCU. The Leftovers is a top 10 of all time and he did the unthinkable with creating a worthy sequel to Gibbons and Moore’s Watchmen.

[@pewburrito]

you know he wrote some Hulk and X-Men comics yeah?

[@singinwhatimdoin]

Ngl, I actually love that he plays the numbers when there is a big jackpot.

[@Romans8-9]

It's actually bad to play the Lost numbers because so many people play them that if they do win, you end up splitting what would be a large amount of money for 1 person with 1000s of people.

[@binzianer]

Love this format!

[@TheRealHexZombies]

This man is the GOAT.

[@Tullcrafts]

He has far, far too much imagination and creativity for the Star Wars universe.

[@seal2721]

If Lindelof were to end Succession, it’ll be a dream

[@razorbikini5808]

Tell me you don’t understand his work without telling me you don’t understand his work.

[@abelincoln.2064]

But no mention of the debacle that is "Prometheus."

[@pewburrito]

this was only TV shows. Since you're such an expert, why didn't you mention Star Trek or Cowboys and Aliens?

[@Davon85J]

Not really his fault. He was asked to come on and rewrite an already existing script

[@struan8467]

Lindelof and Maguire need to make a movie

[@pewburrito]

Lizzie, Tobey, or Jerry?

[@struan8467]

@@pewburrito Harry Maguire

[@gwh3013]

After the terrible ending to lost I wouldn't let him near anything

[@Chilldude87-nl8ih]

Terrible writer.

[@nothingness863]

so that's the guy who doesn't know how to end any of his projects.

[@Charlosduncan]

what a legendary hack
