Whilst it’s great to be getting more Lost, it’s disappointing that the storyline for this season will have to be condensed. Whilst I support the writer’s strike, and understand the problems of airing episodes in summer with regard to ratings, it’s still not ideal.

I don’t think I am alone in saying that a better solution would have been for them to have aired the current 8 episodes now, ending with the cliff hanger, and then to produce the remaining 8 as planned and air them in the Autumn, meaning we don’t have another painful 8 month wait for new Lost like last year, and the storyline is told as planned.

Why would that be a better solution? Maybe for you, but Carlton said this way is better for the show. It makes more sense to cut it there.

I agree that 7+6 is better than 8+0 or 8+5. They could air the show on Sunday at 11:30PM all summer long, and I think 95% of us would still watch. Slipping episode #8 to the second half of the season actual helps the production and the ratings more so than “it is the best place to break the plot. Slipping ep#8 (already in the bag) buys an extra week to get production and post-production back up to speed with out the pressure of having to meet a hard air date. Plus, with 6 episodes in the second half, it will give them some inertia to straddle the May Ratings Sweeps will a full head of steam. Slipping to a later hour helps too. ‘CSI’ will be back to full force. Okay for ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ to do battle with. Better for LOST to battle against ‘Without a Trace’.

Hurrah! 13 episodes is a lot better than 8! Just glad we’re going to get more Lost. Regardless of time slot, I’ll be there to watch it (and I have two babies that keep me up all night! I need my sleep, but will sacrifice it to spend more time on the island…)

Here we are back to screwing around with the timeslot. No, it is not better to show it at 10:00 on Thursday after Grey’s Anatomy. It’s too late, it’s another move for people to keep track of. If this show is so important to ABC, then find a spot and KEEP it there. Preferably at 9:00, but when it was on at 8:00 the ratings were the best.

I totally agree with Greg. I think they should shoot a straight 24 episodes even if it goes straight into the summer months. This show has become apart of me I cant handle this!
