As we decompress after a wild and fantastic season of Lost, it is easy to forget about the cast

and crew. They are settling down in preparation for next season as well. In their off time, they get to act in movies, on stage, and do press interviews.

Naveen Andrews recently sat down with Digital Spy to discuss Sayid, Lost, and television production in general. There some interesting bits regarding his feelings toward season 3. Here is a highlight:

You were quite critical of season three, weren’t you?
“So was everyone else, as far as I know. I’m not alone in that. It’s difficult not to feel proprietorial towards the work. When you feel a drop in quality, it would be dishonest to yourself if you didn’t acknowledge that.”

What do you think the problems were?
“The writing. We all know what the executive producers, Damon [Lindelof] and Carlton [Cuse], were going through because they had this burden of an endless show. I don’t think it’s what Damon wanted in the first place. He always used to say to me ‘Wouldn’t it be great if we were a bit like the Sex Pistols and did just one season of great television and then bang, that’s it?’ Sort of smash and grab. Obviously you can’t do that on primetime network TV but he wanted a limit to the show. He managed to do a deal where he was able to achieve that. Now that we have an ending to aim towards, I think it’s inevitable the quality will get better.”

Naveen, who has had a very interesting life, interviews well (despite is love of the f-bomb). If you are trying to catch up and follow along with the Lost cast while the show resets and they find the island, head over to Digital Spy .
