VOTE FOR "LOST'S" BEN LINUS IN REDEYE'S "BEST CHARACTER ON TV" ONLINE TOURNAMENT
“Lost” fans won’t be shortchanged after all. ABC said it will shoot 17 episodes each for the final two seasons instead of the 16 episodes planned when the show’s creators and ABC made a deal last fall to end the series after three more seasons.
Two episodes were lost to the writers’ strike this season, so they will be added back in 2009 and 2010, according to ABC.
Executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse said last month we’d get to see 17 episodes each season.
Meanwhile, Matthew Fox (right), who plays Jack on the show, told the L.A. Time that the decision to set an end date for the series has given it new momentum. He’s also pleased with this season’s post-island flash-forwarding, which he told the Time has been “a genius move.” It has deepened Jack’s hero-complex.
“Jack’s one thing in life has been to get off the island, and he’s accomplished that and found himself in a pit of despair,” Fox told the paper. “So I’m looking forward to that crawl out of the pit and finding some redemption in him.”
Fox wouldn’t talk much about the upcoming finale, only saying, “It’s got a really, really cool ending.”
Lindelof and Cuse consider the remaining the episodes this season a three-part season finale. The first airs Thursday, and the two-hour conclusion airs May 29.
