Surprising like stories of supermodels doing coke:

There will be three more series of Emmy-winning TV show Lost before it finally ends in 2010.

Really dont think it's going to do the franchise any good dragging it out. I mean think about it, then end of this series will only be the half way point!

Though some positives:

Quote:

Each series will be 16 episodes with no mid-season break, following complaints the last series was divided in two.

I hope others follow suit with that.

Yay to no mid season break!

But 2010? I can't wait that long to find out WTF is going on!

If it's only 16 episodes a season then it's only 48 more, and more like two series worth, so in fact we're technically past halfway. Hopefully the end of this series will give us at least a small inkling as to what's going on. *Remembers saying that 24 episodes ago*

Lol, this disappoints me to think that I will be three years older when I finally find out what on earth is going on.

After hearing that I have decided to stop 'following' the show after the end of this season, and in 2010 I will decide whether to watch the last 48 shows or not.

I bet Jack wakes up in the shower at the end of season 6.

Its been pissing off the writers something chronic from what I've read.

Its surprising that no-one's done it the way B5 did. Write the general story before hand with a fixed end that you can write to. Now that they have an official deadline they can finish the story in a good way, hopefully. The 2nd half of S3 has been classic Lost and recent episodes do seem to hint at a story of sorts. Apparently the S3 finale will take the show in a new direction. I do get the feeling that they're moving things along and I'm glad that I stuck with it, as annoying as it can be

Good grief, I'm glad I didn't start watching this. Prison break's bad enough.. I swear that each week different people from the production team convene to discuss what happens next, clkueless of what happened in the previous. I'm conviced that even they don't know what's going to happen. "Ehh something will come up".

16 episodes seems like a little copped out to me as it really should be 22 (only season 1 generally are short seasons), i didn't mind the mid season break, it gives me time to catch up with other shows.
