Trivia

He is the writer of the 2006 comic book miniseries "Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk". Although in a previous 2004-2005 miniseries "The Ultimates," the Hulk had been said to have killed 800 people while on a rampage in New York, Lindelof gave the more exact figure in "Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk" #2 (April 2006) as 815. 815 is the flight number of the doomed Oceanic flight from which the castaways were stranded on "Lost", and constitutes three of the cursed "numbers" used as a recurring plot point on that show.

After creating the characters, the overall storyline, and the first two episodes of Lost (2004) along with J.J. Abrams, Lindelof has taken over as the head writer of the show, since Abrams has numerous other projects on his plate.

His favorite TV show of all time is Twin Peaks (1990-1991).

His writing mentor was Carlton Cuse. In turn, he mentored Carlton's son Nick Cuse.

Wrote more episodes of Lost (2004) than any other contributor, with 44 episodes credited to him.

Considers the graphic novel Watchmen the greatest piece of popular fiction ever produced.

His favorite movies include Touch of Evil (1958), Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), Pulp Fiction (1994), The Shining (1980), Bambi (1942), and The Godfather Part 2 (1974).
