I agree with Greg above, but would go on to say I'd rather watch it w/o Darlton/Cuse involvement, as they have really schmaltzed up season 6 and haven't delivered the goods, esp. on the hardcore myth / questions side of things. At least King would be able to dig into those for a good 1,000 pages for us all. Problem is, he'd have to make it up as he goes along, since D/C have been dodging the answers since they dredged them up in Seasons 1,2,3.
Not liking Season 6, at all... Feel like it turned all "ABC-Network" instead of the cutting edge show it was before. And, whatever else, the sideways stories are just lame and uninteresting, only mildly watchable due to the fact that we have a history w/ the characters and we know they are going to use it as a segue for our story. Still, BOOOOOO!
Doesn't anyone else really want to know:
1. Why Walt is "special"
2. How the Others got to be "other-y"
3. Where the F*** Charles Widmore got all of his tidbits of info
4. Why the island is "unfindable"
5. Why the island can move
6. What got the DeGroots involved
7. What Dharma is really about
8. What happened to all of the other folks that have traipsed to the island in the last 2,000 years
9. Why the dead have so much energy / power @ the island
10. How the mirror lighthouse works
11. the 899 other niggling "Hey, they totally never explained that" bits they have trotted out over 6 years.
12. Could be really cool if he told the story from Jack's (I am supposing) position as the new Jacob. Cutting back and forth in the story from Now to Then, because, gee, since the beginning, that's all we have done as a storytelling device.
In closing, love the premise of the show, and was a die-hard fan but now feel blaaahhh about it, since the concept of the show, MYSTERY, has been trumped by syrupy love as the theme of the show. I didn't mind it in small doses but season 6 has beat that horse to death.
Thanks for the chance to rant.

Sorry about the CAPS there ... it was an error ... meant nothing by it!

How about an option that says, "Yes, I'd watch the sequel whether Darlton WERE involved or not"? That would be my vote.
