The producers of Lost have confirmed that the show will feature a definitive ending.
According to The AP, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse said that there will be no sequels or spinoffs for the series.
The pair revealed that they have known what the final image of the series finale will be since the first season, but the actual episode, scheduled to air in May, hasn't been written yet.
Asked if all of fans' questions will be answered, Lindelof replied: "That would be too pedantic."
He added: "I don't think it would be Lost if there wasn't any arguing and active debate among the viewers about whether or not it was a good ending. My mum will say it's a good ending, even though she doesn't understand the show."

The executive producers of Lost have suggested that Maggie Grace will return for the show's sixth and final season.
Speaking to E! Online, Carlton Cuse said that Grace is 'too busy' to reprise her role as Shannon Rutherford.
"We would love to have Maggie Grace back, but she's very busy - she's got a movie career," he said.
"We would love to work it out and have her back on the show, and we've talked to her; we're just trying to get that worked out."
Shannon was last seen in season two when she was accidentally shot by Ana Lucia and died in Sayid's arms shortly afterwards.
Recent confirmed returnees for the final season - scheduled to premiere Tuesday, February 2 on ABC - include Dominic Monaghan, Harold Perrineau and Cynthia Watros.

The executive producer of Lost has revealed that several storylines have had to be changed in the show's history.
Speaking to SFX, Damon Lindelof also said that he and fellow exec Carlton Cuse are often accused of making up plots as they go along.
"All that matter is the story itself," he said. "If you feel satisfied by it, it shouldn't matter whether we had it planned from day one or whether we made it up as we went along.
"In some places, we did have to make it up, but Adewale [Akinnuoye-Agbaje] wanted to leave the show, or the Nikki and Paolo idea didn't work, or we didn't have an end date and had to do a tap dance, or we went over-budget so we had to put them in cages for four episodes in a row."
He continued: "There are certain things we had to adapt, but creatively speaking, there was a plan."
Lost returns for its sixth and final season Tuesday, February 2 on ABC.

Emilie De Ravin has given fans a hint of what to expect when she returns to Lost this season.
The actress has starred as Claire Littleton since the pilot episode of the ABC drama, but her character seemed to mysteriously vanish from the island during the fourth season.
It was recently confirmed that she will reprise the role for the sixth and final run of the show.
Speaking to MTV News, she said: "When I'm coming back to the island, I'm coming back in a pretty unexpected way and there's a whole other Claire for me to explore and play with, which has been so much fun, but also getting to play with who I was, with flashback stuff."
When asked to elaborate, she replied: "Without being murdered in my sleep due to exposing secrets of the series, it's a different Claire, a different side of her, one I never thought I'd be playing. That's all I can say."
De Ravin also revealed that she made a "conscious decision" not to watch the fifth season, explaining: "Claire wasn't there, so I thought it was interesting to not be too in touch with what was going on with the other characters. That gave another side to the mystery for me."
Lost returns to ABC in February and Sky1 in the UK.

Matthew Fox has warned Lost fans that they may be left disappointed by the series finale.
Speaking to The Guardian, Fox said that there are fans of the show who have "written it in their minds".
"I really love the way [series five] ended because it felt like the board had been set, the pieces were in place.
"But when you have a show that makes people think as much as Lost; where you've made them *hypothesise about what it all means and where it's all *going on a plot level; ultimately you're going to disappoint them because they're going to want it to end a certain way, and it's going to end its own way."
Ian Somerhalder recently told DS that he is hoping for a 'real' finale, while Michael Emerson has predicted that fans of the show will argue when the finale airs.
Lost returns for its sixth and final season Tuesday, February 2 on ABC in the US and Friday, February 5 on Sky1 in the UK.

Tomorrow night on Lost Sawyer and Kate will share a beautiful and heart-wrenching scene at the end of a dock, and then another one inside of a house that might turn some Skaters into Sulieters. She sees how deep his feelings for Juliet really go, and they go very deep. (Hint: He has a ring.)
Freaks & Geeks star Sam Levine has reportedly filmed a guest spot for ABC's Lost.
Levine recently flew to Hawaii to film a scene for the show, but didn't reveal any details about his role, reports TV Guide.
"I am the smoke monster and I lift the whole… no! I'm just making stuff up!" he joked.
The 27-year-old is thought to have a longtime friendship with Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof, who asked him to appear on the series' final season.
"Six years ago when [Lindelof] started the show I sat in his living room and watched the screener of the pilot months before it aired, and I went, 'Oh my God, this is the greatest show ever! When are you going to get me on this show?'" Levine said.
He continued: "For six years he's been going, 'I'm going to write you something on the show'."
Levine also recently co-starred in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds.
