  • Why is Lost season 6 only going to be 16 epsiodes long when the first 3 seasons are 24, 25 episodes long the is no reason for this to have so little episodes. --Pacific Gilly 1992 08:33, 18 May 2007 (PDT)
Season 1 - 22(24) - 2 hour pilot and finale
Season 2 - 22(23) - 2 hour finale
Season 3 - 22(23) - 2 hour finale
Season 4 - 16
Season 5 - 16
Season 6 - 16
My guess for the shortened seasons is that they have material for 2 more full seasons (44/46 episodes), but want more money, so they break it into three short seasons (48/51 episodes) and BS their way though 4 episodes, or use them to tell us about Libby/Rousseau/other stuff that only "die-hards" care about. --Suddud (Talk) 20:04, 24 May 2007 (PDT)
  • Total hours hasn't been confirmed, there could be a 2-hour premier and final, thus making 18 hours total or technically 18 episodes. Besides the final season, they may give us a few more episodes to wrap up the show. Might be 20 episodes. Who knows. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Buffyfan123 (talk • contribs) .
  • Listen to the Podcast by Damon and Carlton. They explain that the 3 season, 16 episode break up works best for the story they want to tell.
  • It also works out fairly well for us, the viewers. A 16-episode season means we get about eight fewer episodes per season, BUT we get 'em all in one big chunk - there should be no extended breaks in the middle, like with S3 and S2 (which had at least /two/ breaks, one of which, frustratingly enough, was right before the finale. I didn't watch S1 when it aired originally, so I can't comment on its schedule, but I can't imagine it was aired continuously). --Shodan1138 20:17, 28 May 2007 (PDT)
  • Per the article linked to on the front page, this season and the fifth are set for 17 episodes now, please change.

Theories about Season 6

  • I reckon that Season 6 is going to be all about after they've been rescued, and how they all adapt to life after the Island. What do you reckon? --   Lost Soul   talk  contribs  01:22, 29 May 2007 (PDT)
  • I reckon it will be them trying to survive Naomi's boat wiping out everyone on the island. Rescue next season (perhaps using Naomi's boat). Then season six dealing with coming back to the island
  • Could be that they get rescued some time in season 4 or 5, a lot of Season 5 could be off the Island, and Season 6 could involve them coming back to the Island leading up to the big finale. Although we've seen that Jack and Kate get off the Island, we don't know when exactly that is. Could be some time during the next three seasons, or could be after the show ends. Maybe we'll catch up to that point and carry on from there. It does seem a pretty bleak place to end the show.
  • A lot of people have speculated that episodes will now be set in the future and we'll start seeing flashbacks of the Island, but I'm not sure it would work for the 'present' to jump forward like that. I think we'll see flash-forwards like we did in the finale, but I don't think the series will jump forward like that, it'd be a bit messy.Liquidcow 02:32, 14 June 2007 (PDT)

Confirmed As In...?

So when they say confirmed, they mean that no matter how bad ratings get, there is garenteed to be a 6th season?-- DeGroot 07:44, 26 June 2007 (PDT)

  • I'm not sure, but I think it's just that if the show remains popular enough to air that it will go to season 6. Just giving us an idea of how long it's intended to air, opposed to just continuously going with no end in sight. I imagine if the ratings plummet huge (knock on wood that they dont) they would pull the show. But the fanbase is too loyal, I don't think the ratings could even drop enough. Voodoo 12:52, 29 July 2007 (PDT)
Just to answer this (I know its been a while) Yes. We are guaranteed that we'll get all the episodes up to the end of Season 6  Plkrtn  talk  contribs  email  05:09, 16 March 2008 (PDT)

Perjury Trial

I'm not sure if I'm being really dumb and missing a joke, but Damon and Carlton say here that Season 6 will be Jack's perjury trial and we'll get flashbacks of the island: http://www.ugo.com/tv/lost/?cur=darlton

I know they joke around in interviews, but if there's a joke here I don't get it. Is it worth noting on the page for Season 6?

If there is any truth to it, then it's as a metaphor, rather than a literal explanation. --Silvertouch 12:29, 18 March 2008 (PDT)


I don't see how you can say that for sure. Jack lied under oath, so he could well end up in court for perjury. I thought it might be worth putting on the main page for Season 6 that they said this, although I could understand if some people might consider it a spoiler.Liquidcow 05:02, 19 March 2008 (PDT)

Updated needed

It's now confirmed that Season 6 will contain 17 episodes --Hunter61 03:41, 10 May 2008 (PDT)

Return to the Island?

I keep randomly hearing that Season 6 is when (some of) the Oceanic 6 will return to the island. Is there any particular reason to believe this will not happen during Season 5?Mrmcpheezy 17:30, 13 May 2008 (PDT)

TPTB said Season 4 would be who gets off the island and how, season 5 would be why they want to go back, and season 6 would be what happens once they get back. As far as when they return, it could be the end of 5 i suppose, but they'll focus on what happens once they get back in 6. --Gluphokquen Gunih ▲ 20:03, 11 June 2008 (PDT)
In theory, season 5 could contain flashforwards to once they manage to return to the Island. But like Gluphokquen said, they made a comment about season 5 being about how/why they need to get back .  Jimbo the Tubby  talk  contributions  20:07, 11 June 2008 (PDT)
