Coming up on Lost: Extra episode for Season 4
Lost fans are abuzz yesterday everning, spinning from reports that Lost is going to get an additional hour’s worth of episodes. Whether this is going to be a two-hour finale or just an extra hour for the series, is still undetermined. Because of a conflict in schedule, speculations as to how it will play out are ripe.
Here’s how TV Guide puts it:
• If the dream becomes a reality, how would it work? As it stands, Lost’s Season 4 climax is slated to air on May 22 on a season-finale-themed night that also includes the cappers of Ugly Betty and Grey’s Anatomy. So would the additional Lost hour be broadcast the following Thursday? Or would it perhaps run on another night?
• What does this do to the finale that was going to air on May 22? Would elements of it be incorporated into the new finale? Would this 14th hour come before that episode? And since we were originally supposed to get 16 eppies this season before the strike cut that number back to 13, does this mean we would now be getting a season finale that is more in line with what Darlton intended? Or more exposition that they ran out of time to include? The mind boggles.
From the beginning, Season Finales on Lost always run 2 hours. This year’s strike has forced them to cut back with some episodes, too. So long as we get an episode that’s not a filler and where we have something to take back while waiting for Season Five…then I’m fine either way.
