Will Lost Benefit from Writer Strike?
Welcome to MamaNeedJava! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Many of you have seen the official trailers (see them below if not!): Lost is to return for its fourth season on January 31st! Interestingly, it will not be on Mondays evenings as previously leeked, but instead on Thursdays at 9pm. This is a prime spot for ABC, one usually taken by shows like Grey’s Anatomy.
(An aside: If you haven’t yet seen this little “Lost in roughly 8 minutes” thing, check it out! What a CONCISE recap!)
So what’s behind Lost’s movement? Most likely the writer’s strike, oddly enough. Since eight episodes were completed before the onset of the strike, (and ABC hits like Grey’s, Ugly Betty, Brother’s & Sister’s and Desperate Housewives have no new programming at this point), the network decided to bump the Lost epi’s into a prime viewing spot and give it a little more promotion. Supposedly, they figured 8 new episodes is better than none at all (can I get a WOOT-WOOT!). I’m crossing my fingers that the strike will end in enough time to get the other 8 episodes shot for a consecutive 16 episode season… am I being idealistic? But you, my friend, might be a man of science, and I; a woman of faith.
It’s been a long, hard wait for season 4 of Lost, let me tell you. My last Lost episode was May 23rd, having just move to Portland in time to catch the finale with my Hubby. Last week our season 3 dvd’s arrived, so we’ve rewatched the episodes and the bonus features, though have yet to listen to the commentary’s which have a few more season 3 “easter eggs”. Check them out here.
The “Lost; Missing Pieces” have provided a little scratch for my itch (yeah, just enough to make me realize just how bad that itch is!) and now I can’t wait until the next season’s premier, not 36 days away! This is the home stretch, ya’ll- so dig in deep and pull out that extra “umph” for the final inning, got it?
Don’t forget, you can follow the links in this post and also check out the latest spoilers if you just can’t hold your horses. If all else fails, join a dynamic Lost message board. The island will understand.
