The End?
On January 15, 2007, news outlets began reporting that Lost producers J.J. Abrams, Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelhof recently met with ABC executives to begin discussions about when and how to end Lost. On May 07, 2007, fans woke to the news that the end date of Lost had been decided.
Fortunately for us, Lost won't be leaving our tv screens for good until May of 2010. Unfortunately, we'll have a long wait between the remaining seasons. The key points of the new contract that executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof recently signed with ABC are:
While a shortened season and a nine month wait between season may upset some viewers, the producers and executives believe the introduction of an end date will help alleviate some viewer frustration.

Fortunately for us, Lost won't be leaving our tv screens for good until May of 2010. Unfortunately, we'll have a long wait between the remaining seasons. The key points of the new contract that executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof recently signed with ABC are:
- Lost will continue for three more seasons.
- The three remaining seasons will consist of sixteen episodes each, totaling 48 episodes remaining and 120 episodes overall.
- The final seasons will run in consecutive episodes (no reruns!) from February through May. Season four will begin in February 2008, five in February of 2009 and the sixth and final season in February 2010.
- Cuse and Lindelof will be working exclusively on Lost through the end of the series.
While a shortened season and a nine month wait between season may upset some viewers, the producers and executives believe the introduction of an end date will help alleviate some viewer frustration.
- From Carlton Cuse:
- "People wait longer than eight months for the next books and films in the Harry Potter story and they don't seem to lose interest. We have faith that our audience, knowing exactly how much of the story we have left, is going to be with us for the rest of the ride." (USA Today)
- "What we didn't know was how long we had to play the story out. By defining the endpoint we can now really map out the rest of the series in confidence."(CNN)
- "We sort of view 'Lost' as a mosaic. Now there are only 48 more tiles that go into that mosaic, and we're figuring out, along with all the other writers, exactly where they all go." (CNN)
- From Damon Lindelof:
- "Shorter seasons will allow plots to be more tightly constructed and 'will make it a real event,' Lindelof says. 'We won't have to do episodes where people are standing on the beach looking at the water and wondering what's going to happen next.'" (USA Today)
- "Lindelof said having the end point in sight was 'incredibly liberating. Like we've been running a marathon and we actually know where the finish line is for the first time.'" (CNN)
- From Steve McPherson (ABC Entertainment president):
- "splitting the current third season in two 'was not the best for the show.'" (USA Today)
- "Due to the unique nature of 'Lost,' we knew it would require an end date to keep the integrity and strength of the show consistent throughout and to give the audience the payoff they deserve." (CNN)

This has like nothing to do with how the show will end, but who here hopes that Jack and Kate will end up together? Someone please comment and tell me cause those two are perfect for each other. No offense, I've got nothing against Sawyer, but I really really really want Kate to be in love with Jack.

i think that this is how Claire and Jack find out how there related! Claire should se the ghost of her dad (also Jack's dad!) while she's w/ Jack and she asks if he can see him and Jack sees him 2 and says thats my father!

I have stuck with this show through thick and thin but I have to say, and please do not say mean things, but I am just ready for it to be over. I want to be through with it, want to just let it go like a bad habit, but every time I commit to doing this I keep coming back for more. But how much longer can it drag out? I have to say I am anxious for 2010 and the resolution of the show so that I can just let Jack and Kate go and move on with something more constructive in my life. But at least then I will (hopefully) have the answers I need from this show.

The 6 are not the charactors we have been following these last couple of years, They are from the plane that crashed into the ocean ( i didn't see the 3/6 airing so this maybe a no brainer by now)
