LOST’s Final Two Seasons Will Run An Extra Hour Each!!
I am – Hercules!!
“Lost” lost two hours of its fourth season thanks to the writers’ strike, but will get those two hours back over the show’s 5th and 6th seasons, according to producers.
The original plan was to have “Lost’s” 4th, 5th and 6th seasons run 16 hours each. The plan now:
Season Four: 14 hours.
Season Five: 17 hours.
Season Six: 17 hours.
Season six will continue to be the series’ last.

excellent news
-
Tonight's episode was awesome, more Locke & goth Claire, please.
-
Great minds think alike, eh?
-
that article says this year's cliffhanger will be of the "action oriented" variety instead of the giant mind-fuck of last year. hopefully it'll be a little more engaging than someone getting shot or a house blowing up or something.
-
That's just to lower your expectations, I'm sure.
-
Now Locke would be a definite possibility as a Cylon. The guy has to be Fortune's fool. :-)

There needs to be a fan bootleg of Lost in Chronological Order
by tallboy66
Anyone want to make this thier life's quest to complie this after the series ends? I'm too lazy to do it. But it would be hella interesting, but probably extremely confusing, to watch.

I know for the Season 2 re-cap, they did it in order. Maybe they;ll do the same for a season 5 re-cap?
-
I been working on it for a while. check out my blog. http://lostre-edit.blogspot.com/
-
fine news, indeed!
-
to do. And boring as fuck... I expect.
-
They're already accelerating the plot of this season to make up for the missing episodes, now we'll get 2 hours of filler in the coming season, woohoo!
-
It's been pretty easy so far, all you have to do is cut up each segment, take out the flashback/flashforwards, then re-arrange them on the timeline and smooth out the joins with a little creative scene swapping. I've only done season 1 so far though, so i havn't had to deal yet with the difference in time between the island and the rest of the world interactions. Dunno how i'm gonna arrange that, but i got 2 more seasons to edit before i have to worry about that heh...
-
Good! (Assuming of course SAG dosen't go on strike cutting into next years TV season) Regardless, they're going to have a tough time surpassing season 4.
-
sure, a large amount of guesswork would be required, since most flashbacks take place in the indeterminate past, but it wouldn't be impossible.
whether it'd all be worth the massive amount of effort it would take, though, is another matter entirely. the flashbacks and flashforwards work most effectively in context, e.g. the dramatic impact of jack jumping off bridges is heightened once you realise it takes place after the island, rather than before... -
Cool.
-
...but; what about the impending SAG strike?
It seems as though SAG will be dug in on their stance regarding new media; especially since it is widely perceived that the WGA got rooked on their new media deal. SAG could be looking to make a statement on that issue. We've already seen what these work stoppages can do to show's season. (Has anyone watched a fresh episode of 24 lately?)
LOST already has a midseason premiere; if things get delayed as they did this year, there could be an almost two year gap between seasons.
Here's hoping that the AMPTP and SAG can come to agreeable terms. -
It's not too hard to figure out the order of events in the past, there's quite a lot of information out there from people much more obsessive than me that figure out dates from information given in the show and podcasts and such. I definitely agree that it destroys the dramatic structure of the show though. But this was intended to just be a fun experiment for people that have seen the show and know what happens, nothing more.
-
Lost was a great two season idea stretched to a now unendurable six years. Jesus christ.
-
Not smokie or anything we haven't seen. Richard and the island move through time, and Richard needs Locke to relive his old life the same up to arriving at the island again.

Sweet, love to see the re-edit...in, uh, 2 or 3 more years
by tallboy66
Or however long it would take. Long time, I guess.
-
Darlton could continue to write the episodes for the last 2 seasons, and be able to really focus on what should be in each episode, when certain reveals should happen, etc.
These last few episodes have been great, but it's apparent (especially in Ben's episode) that they've been stuffing more than they should into each episode. Perhaps this strike would allow them to slow down a little bit, establish some great pacing for the rest of the show, and send it out in style.
No matter what, when Lost ends it'll be a sad day indeed, so maybe delaying it a little bit wouldn't be so bad. -
That's why she was with Christian in the cabin. She died from that concussion after wandering off into the jungle, following her father's ghost. That's why Miles saw the whole thing, because he can hear the dead. That is why Christian said the baby is better off without her... cause then Aaron would be dead too! I guess Locke, Ben and Hurley can see and hear the dead too.
-
and use it to go back in time to when Claire was a slutty goth chick. And then I would bang the crap out of her while all she was wearing was those knee high leather boots.
-
I think Jack is gonna die at some point. But not just yet. they know how to get to people, these darmha crowd and jack is no different. Notice the stuff, with the smoke alarm, the drink and the prescription meds. Smokey is gonna get jack. why? no idea yet. Jack Killed his old man. Me thinks. his old man was part of dharma. jacks gonna die.
-
or a fire somewhere. started by smoke monster. jack gets trapped in a building. With everyone gone and jack suicidal, he dies alone, but he is rescued and ends up back on the island and makes amends with locke and sawyer. what happens to juliet is unclear.
-
I bailed out after the stupid hatch "climax."
-
How could you have fit all that has happened (The hatch, the raft, the flashbacks, the flash forwards, the others, dharma, Widmore, Ben, etc) into two years?
-
When the six return to the island 4 - 5 years would have passed. This can account for the aging.
-
That's why he isn't supposed to raise the kid. He has been dead from the very beginning he just doesn't know it yet. Papa showed up to guide Claire to deadsville because she didn't realize she was dead. Same with Jack he's been dead since he woke up in the jungle. His father will eventually explain and guide Jack to Deadsville as well but Jack refuses to believe in faith, refuses to stop the fight to save others and survive for one minute. I think the trick with the isalnd is that certain special people don't who are physiacally dead do not actually die until they accept it. And then they become something more, living spirit, echo, ect of who they were but all linked to the temporal power of the island.
-
I can understand that Claire is dead, and I think she died in the explosion, not later. (After all, that was waaay too coincidental that she survived that. C'mon...) But I don't see any real evidence that Jack is dead. Yeah, his dad is wandering the island and all, but so what...? (Claire though... toast. Which is cool.) ;-)
-
Michael Moorcock wrote a short story about the Vanishing Tower that brought together a couple of his popular Champion's Eternal and I think the Island is like his Tower. It constantly shifts around different time periods, that's why Richard appears to be ageless when he's seen around a baby John, then a teen John and he remains the same age. That also enables Ben and his people to amass these incredibly detailed files on people, anyone that becomes relevant they just observe them during any time period in their lives, get the whole skimmy and put it in an easy-to-read dossier. That's why the Dr.'s dead body washes up on shore a day or so BEFORE he gets his throat slit on the boat.
-
Very interesting theory. Unfortunately Jack would be the first dead guy to suffer from appendicitis.
