Post-Strike Schedule for ‘Lost’ Confirmed
Kristin over at E!Online has confirmed what the post-strike schedule will look like for Lost. The last episode of the current arc, which is episode seven, will air on March 13. The show will then go off the air for six weeks and return April 24 at 9pm, with the first of six remaining episodes.
The next week, on May 1, Grey’s Anatomy will return to the Thursday at 9pm time slot with brand new episodes. Lost will then move to its new home of Thursdays at 10pm, where it will stay for the rest of the season.
Kristin also talked to Damon Lindelof about his plans to condense the remainder of the season 4 story into five more episodes. "We are going to execute our full story plan for season four," he confirmed. "This simply requires a shift from high-octane storytelling to superhigh-octane storytelling. It requires no cramming, only a slightly heavier foot on the gas pedal. . .so, hold on to your hats. Those of you waiting for the long-anticipated Jin and Hurley Ping-Pong tournament, however, will be very disappointed."
Will there be a 2hr. finale then? I hope!

Great news! In addition, if you haven’t said it in a previous blog that we will not lose those three missing episodes from season 4. They will be added to seasons 5 & 6 somehow.
I would like to mention, on a side note with the story line of Lost becoming more revealing and no more stalling, that I would appreciate some effort to conceal, discourage or remove any spoilers from the comment section. I.E. I seriously didn’t need to read a comment about the picture Miles was holding was of Ben. It’s one thing if that occured right in the beginning of the episode, but that was the REVEAL of the episode ruined by a comment.
So please if you guys can deter that. I try to avoid the comments now, but the first comments can be easily read without me trying. I can’t shut off my reading skills

well ivan i have recently commented on a spoiler but it can also be false i mean who actually know whether the things people are commenting on are actually true but i know where your coming from for not wanting ANY spoilers at all but whoever creates thes bulletins should create some sort of room/board where people can talk about lost in any form whether thats spoilers or just genuine lost comments, also they are defo removing they 3 episodes to season 5 because i heard that season 5 is to have 19 episodes and 4 has only to have 13 and im sure season 6 should have 16 too but thats not confirmed.
LOST is just the best and this season is really starting to splash out answers now dont you think.

Why do some people want to be spoiled? I don’t understand that. Are they too impatient to wait a week for more answers or shocks?

well lukeduke i have a theory that the bear found by charlotte usnt even a polar bear and im also sure that the bears that were kept at the hydra werent polar bears aswell because tom says to sawyer that ”the bears figured how to get the fish biscuits in 2 days” or something like that but he doesnt say the polar bears he just says bears and we cant be sure yet as to say that the bear charlotte found was actually polar

Damon sez — a shift from high-octane storytelling to superhigh-octane storytelling.
Maybe this will make up for the very low octane, ethanol-fueled season 3.

Why does everyone have a problem with season three? Everyone says it was slow. For two seasons everyone wanted to know what the others were up to and what was going on with Ben and whatnot, and season three spent most of the season answering those questions. People, lay off season three- one of the best in the series.

I think the reason people have a problem with season three is the fact that while they were ironing out the details of how many more episodes/seasons they would have they really dragged in story telling for the first half of the season. When you add in the Nikki and Paulo debacle it made for some of the least entertaining episodes. I do agree though that overall it was a good season, but only because it is saved by episodes like the man from tallahasee. these are only my humble opinions though.

Season 3 was Lost’s best season after season 1. It dragged a little in the beginning, sure, but at least we were introduced to some of the most fascinating and intriguing characters with Juliet and Ben. And Hello? We are out of the freakin hatch. The entire second season was all filler except for the one episode the didn’t push the button. If you want to start hating a season people, 2 words for you, Ana Lucia.
Season 3 had the most gang-buster episodes with Desmonds time/consciousness travel, Juliet’s flashbacks, Ben’s flashback, Ageless man, Sawyer/Locke/Daddy saga, and the introduction of flash forwards. To name a few. We found out more in season 3 than any other season period. Leave it alone.
Nuff said.

I figured out why the polar bear was in the desert. Sawyer was in a polar bear cage where if you think about it was being trained. It was being trained to throw the switch to move the island. Polar bears are smart, strong, and what it was cold at the switch, then just like Ben sent to the desert. The island was moved many times, put together some of the flashback and you get too.
