People have a lot of different problems with the Lost finale, but one common complaint is that it's incomprehensible. If that's your beef, you're in good company.

"Unless Carlton sits me down and explains it to me, I still don't know what happened," Josh Holloway, aka Sawyer himself, admitted to Digital Spy at the TCA Press Tour yesterday (January 14).

"I get it when he explains it, but it's fleeting, it's in the moment."

He recalled being worried for the safety of Carlton Cuse and his co-writer Damon Lindelof when the finale aired, because fan anticipation was so feverish. "I think they did a good job of avoiding getting killed by a mob.

"I have this cabin up in the mountains at 10,000 feet, and I was like, 'you guys can go hide there if you want'. I wasn't sure they were gonna get out of this alive."

Holloway was promoting his new dystopian USA drama Colony, which premiered in the States last night and also stars Sarah Wayne Callies.
