Damon Lindelof: And one of the first things we talked about the very first time we came was… the sort of idea of the show dancing between the supernatural and actual science.

We want to be able to bounce between those sorts of ideas, between reality and fiction. So hopefully, you will be satisfied.

Fan 12: Well, thank you very much, and from the scientific community, I appreciate it.

Damon Lindelof: And we thank the scientific community. [Crowd laughs]
