Javier Grillo-Marxuach, a
supervising producer and writer on Lost, is leaving the show. He was hired on about two years ago when
Lost was just a gleam in J.J. Abrams' eye. On his website, Javi
says his gig on Lost was only meant to be a couple of months so he could help create long-term story arcs and
basically plan out the series (and write a pilot!). Two years, seven episodes, and "one hanging hobbit"
later, Javi said it's the right time for him to leave and let the other writers take the show where it needs to go.Javi has been one of the most high-profile writers of the show, frequently producing the Radio Free Javi podcasts about Lost and his other interests, including comic books. He also is a frequent contributor to The Fuselage, the ABC-sanctioned forum about the show.
