"Lost" adds hours
ABC extends final two seasons

05/09/2008 - ABC has found more hours for the final two seasons of "Lost." The 2009 and 2010 editions of the hit drama will be 17 hours each -- not 16 as previously planned.
ABC has added two hours to the show's production plan because the WGA strike knocked three hours out of the current season.

Once a fantasy fan 'ship that provoked derision from other fans, it was suddenly confirmed last episode. Although it was a surprise to some fans, to believers like myself, it was the obvious next step. Read more...
