As I have mentioned before, we don't get another new episode of Lost until April 24, at which point we'll have weekly new episodes on May 1, 8, and 15. Because this writer's strike business, however, Lost has to contend with the two-hour finales of both Ugly Betty and Grey's Anatomy, meaning that we won't actually get our season finale until May 29, with another break on May 22. That's the bad news.The good news is that ABC just gave the green light for Lost producers to film one additional hour than what was originally planned for the show's post-strike run. This extra hour will be aired on May 29, making for another two-hour season finale (and keeping with the two-hour season finale tradition of the first three seasons). That means that altogether, we'll get 14 of the 16 hours that were originally planned for the season.
It is a little strange that ABC would wait until May 29--after May sweeps has ended--to air the finale of one of its most popular shows, but I won't complain. Lost this year has been, overall, very, very good. For all of you out there that keep dragging your feet about getting into this show, it's time to start watching the DVDs and get caught up. Lost isn't perfect, but it will likely go down in history as one of TV's most exciting and groundbreaking shows.
Watch a preview for the April 24 episode here.

Let's hope I've delivered my child by the time the season finale aires and I can watch it without this large belly preventing any possible comfortable position.
Another week...another hobo
Jay thanks for introducing me to Lost. I'm loving it.
