Thanks to Annika for the heads up.

LOS ANGELES – "Lost" marks its 100th episode Wednesday, an achievement its producers consider as surreal as the TV drama's mind-bending plots.

Executive producer Damon Lindelof, one of the series' creators, recalled meeting with ABC executives four years ago to pitch the idea of plane crash survivors stranded on an island of mystery and danger.

They were asked where the "Lost" saga would stand at, say, episode No. 74.

"I said, `We're probably not going to get past episode 13. Let's all be honest about that upfront," Lindelof recalled, adding, "If I traveled back in time to tell myself after that meeting that we were going to make it to 100 and still have a season beyond that, I would have laughed in my face."

Fans will appreciate the notion of time-skipping, since the current season has reveled in just that. "Lost" has flung major characters across decades, leaving them — and the audience — feverishly attempting to keep events straight and the end game in sight.

"It was always part of the master plan that the time-travel elements in the show would become more overt," said executive producer Carlton Cuse. He recalled an early episode in which Sayid (Naveen Andrews) is fiddling with a radio and hears 1940s music.

"That was a signpost we were planting early ... that this island was not in the same place and space time as the real world. We knew that in season five we were going to deploy this and the show would become more overtly a genre show, and we were OK with that," Cuse said.

"We've always felt we had to make bold choices," he said, and the audience has responded.

In Wednesday's episode, titled "The Variable" and airing at 9 p.m. EDT, viewers will get a few more pieces of the puzzle.

"We're not promising any big whiz-bang flash pyrotechnics," said Lindelof. But it does serve as what he calls "a companion piece" to another memorable episode, last season's "The Constant," in which Desmond (Henry Ian Cusick) endured vicious, turbulence-caused side effects.

"This season has really been about the rules of time travel as explained by Daniel Faraday," Lindelof said, referring to the brainiac played by Jeremy Davies. "We've never done a flashback story for Faraday, so he's very mysterious. Some of those mysteries will be answered in this episode."

Viewers also check in on Desmond, wounded in the April 8 episode as he defended his beloved Penny (Sonya Walger) from vengeful, gun-toting Ben (Michael Emerson).

"We find out whether it's fatal," said Cusick, his tone carefully neutral. The "Lost" cast is trained to avoid disclosures, but he concedes the show's penchant for killing off characters does take a toll.

"Every season it's, `Am I here, or not? Do I pack?'" Cusick said. "Ever since Penny and I were reunited, I feel like Desmond's story could easily be done. ... He found what he wanted."

But then Cusick suggests there may be more to come. Desmond has yet to confront the guilt of leaving others behind on the island, Cusick said, and perhaps he's among those who must journey back as part of a grand reckoning.

Or not. The actor isn't 'fessing up.

Neither are Lindelof and Cuse, as the two-hour May 13 season finale draws near. But there will be answers someday, they promise.

"Lost" is set to wrap after one more season, a decision the producers made to allow for a carefully plotted finale. According to Lindelof, it will be a "very cool ending, and enormously satisfying."

Here is this week's Official LOST Audio Podcast with Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse.

They confirm that show has won a Jules Verne Award and will be going to Paris next week after they finish editing the finale.

Here is a summary:

1) Confirmed that it was interesting fans did guess Miles was Chang's son when they first introduced Miles and they did not change the story after they realized we knew
2) The Variable and The Constant are indeed connected
3) Faraday Centric and feel it is the best episode they feel of the season.
4) Fun question why Sawyer wear shirts. They have some funny answers.
5) Three facts about Sawyer Damon likes: Wears Glasses (thinking-man Sawyer), Ambidextrous (can use both left and right hands), and likes to hit people without any notice
6) There were two helicopters - 1 Scout (Naomi's) and the other helicopter was Frank's
7) Reference that at LEAST one fan was thankful about the $3.2 Million explanation
8) Episode 5x15 - We will learn more about Phil
9) Ben's favortie show is Nightline - They then joke about it
10) They read an email from a fan that is mad they used the line "Ewoks Suck", they then joke and chat about it. They also confirm the writers debated that line for hours.
11) Are we going to learn about Faraday's memory issues?? We know the results of the tests/experiments on his "girlfriend" Theresa, so it possible his memory loss is a side effect as well. Carlton says maybe Faraday returns to the island to see if the healing aspects help him and that we will learn more in the next episode.
12) Confirm that the Dharma Beer cans that have flip-tops were created by Dharma (they are being sarcastic and joke about have an episode dedicated to beer)
