    by castor778

    Not that it got another episode, but I never heard about it being cut down from it's original 16 episodes. That's news to me, and I'm disappointed because I expected more than 6 episodes on the shows return. Lets just hope it returns from its break as well as the third season did.

    Actually my real post is - this 14th eppy sounds iffy at best. Me thinks if it does happen it'll be another one of those recapping the entire season throwaway episodes.

    My Lost theory...

    by rutgersjaffo

    I believe that the Island travels in time. I think this is why 'the bad guys' want it. I think the numbers are Jacob's 'safety person' just like Desmond was for that new scientist guy. That's why they are everywhere. No matter what time the island appears in, they make sure the numbers are somewhere so he can maintain. That is also why he is there and yet not there. I think he has been on the island for so long that his temporalness is a bit sketchy and only the numbers keep him focused. I think that's how the Black Rock got onto the island--it just appeared right under it. I think the Darma Project was probably trying to control or steer the island. Just an idea though. any thoughts?

    by crazyhorse2099

    At first I thought it was a takeoff of a Sex in the City montage from like 3 years ago that did the same thing, except with the word "Who?". Either way, neither of them were actually funny. Or awesome, for that matter.

    I guess it's somewhat impressive that someone edited all the "whats" from 70 hours of LOST together in the first place?

    I mean seasons are all screwed up now anyway, so if it ended later than normal so what? They already got their vacation time during the stupid strike. I hope those Canadians enjoyed their Bennigan's.

    It's not a question...

    by bob loblaw law blog

    of ending the season later than normal...

    it's a question of scheduling the cast. Lots of those actors are probably scheduled to do film work, theater, etc., during the hiatus. As awesome as LOST is, the producers simply can't do the show if actors are not available (Cuse and Lindelof have already mentioned this as a post-strike problem finishing up the season in interviews).

    48 episodes

    by enderandrew

    We were supposed to get 48 episodes, as that was the magic plan for the final run of the show. If we get 14 this season, when they then do 17 and 17 for the next two seasons, or are they still planning 16 episodes per season for the next two?

    Its hard to emphsize sarcasim while typing. but I like your idea. Get me JJ and ABC on the phone immediately.... looks like we have a winner!!!!!

    Sequel could be called "Found?" "Still Lost" "Jack Sheppard MD" (played by a different actor), "Hurley Loves Sun" Maybe they can get real people to fill in the cast and have an elimination show, while participants desperatly compete to win and get off the island.Dr. Marvin Candle will host and everyones voices will be dubbed by lame commedians.
