The Tail Section

Now that the writers’ strike is this close to being officially over, we can all get back to our normal television loving lives.  E!Online’s TV maven Kristin recently talked to the showrunners of many popular shows, and grilled them on when we can expect to see new episodes.  Of course, I wouldn’t have posted this if she hadn’t talked to the pants-less wonder himself, Damon Lindelof.  Here’s what he had to say about the future of Lost:

"Indeed, it would appear that we are in the endgame of the strike.  Personally, I couldn’t be more psyched to be part of this union.  Like any negotiation, some parts suck and some parts surpassed my wildest expectations for what we could accomplish, but most of all I’m left with a feeling of pride.

"As for Lost (pending the actual lifting of the strike, which we vote for on Tuesday), a game plan should begin to manifest by the end of the week.  All I can say is that Carlton and I and the rest of the writers have every intention of making sure you guys get more episodes this season beyond the eight already completed.  How many and how they will be aired is a conversation we’ll be having with our bosses, but as soon as we’ve got a plan, we’ll tell the fans first."

I’ll definitely keep you updated the instant I hear anything official regarding the remainder of Lost’s season.  To check out what the showrunners of other great shows like Pushing Daisies and Friday Night Lights have to say, check out Kristin’s column here.
