ABC shuffles Lost post-strike

Island drama moving time slots after minihiatus, previous cliffhanger will now serve as semipremiere.
Lost has some major, major company headed its way, and I don't mean Daniel Faraday, his ghostbusting friend, an anthropologist, and a drunk pilot. Soon, the island castaways will be surrounded by a bunch of amorous doctors.

Miles will break your fingers.


With the strike resolved and shows getting back to work, schedules are a mess. Lost recently moved time slots from Wednesday night to the coveted Thursday 9 p.m. hole, which was previously occupied by another hit, Grey's Anatomy.
Lost guru Carlton Cuse has already said that his crew will try to make five more episodes--in addition to the eight already completed--of the show, and ABC is eager to get new episodes of Grey's Anatomy back on the air. This obviously causes a turf war between the network's two biggest scripted hits.
Rather than butt heads and cause a ruckus, ABC is letting the two shows join forces. When both shows return from their strike-imposed breaks, they'll be part of a huge night for ABC.
According to E! Online, Lost will slide back an hour to 10 p.m., and Dr. McDreamy (or whatever he goes by these days) and company will reclaim their 9 p.m. slot.

Dr. Juliet Burke...NOT on the manifest.


What's more, episode eight of this season of Lost will no longer have to serve as a makeshift finale--as was previously the scenario with no end to the strike in sight--and will now become a minipremiere (because word is it's a jaw-dropper) and be the lead for the back end of Lost's season.
This splits season four into seven episodes and six episodes, with a six-week break in between. The last six will begin April 24 and Grey's will return May 1, at which point Lost will slip back to 10 p.m.
E! Online also got a few more words from executive producer Damon Lindelof about the changes that will have to be made to accommodate the show's arcs.
"We are going to execute our full story plan for season four," Lindelof told E! "This simply requires a shift from high-octane storytelling to superhigh-octane storytelling. It requires no cramming, only a slightly heavier foot on the gas pedal...so, hold on to your hats. Those of you waiting for the long-anticipated Jin and Hurley ping-pong tournament, however, will be very disappointed."
Confusing, yes, but what do you expect? It's Lost!

Basically...
Season 4 will have 13 episodes, (8 filmed pre-strike + 5 to be filmed). They will air up to the seventh episode, then take a six week hiatus until April 24. Episodes 8 - 13 will continue to air on Thursdays, but at 10:00 PM. That means only 4 more episodes till the hiatus!

Oh, I like this set up. That means I don't have to choose between Lost and The Office!

 

[kochie332]

^ yay

 

[julesrules815]

Oh. My. God. Crazy episode!!! So does Aaron count as one of the Oceanic Six? And does that mean Claire didn't make it? Also, if JAck knows that the baby isn't Kate and Sawyer's then why does he not want to see him?<white writing

 

[LoveLetter]

OMG! It's scary! Aaron?
Why did Jack say only 8 people survived?

 

[julesrules815]

^So they think 2 people died on the island? Maybe makes the story seem more believable?

 

[Faith Akiyama]

I was just gonna say! I was really hoping I didn't hear Kate utter that last line of dialogue, but she did

 

[kochie332]

^ i saw that coming but I was like no it cant be. Then she said what she did, and it confirmed what i was thinking

 

[julesrules815]

^^I thougt she said Eric at first. Then it dawned on me.

 

[*Kristina*]

I can't wait to see this episode, just a few more hours.

 

[*Kristina*]

I am curious to find out why Jack has some issues with going to see Aaron. I thought it may be because he did something to prevent Claire from coming back, and so the thought of seeing Aaron would upset him.

So Mind Boggling!!!

They sure knew how to blow us away when most of us were thinking that it was Kate's actual biological child (presumably Sawyer's) when at the last second, BOOM it's Aaron!!

And what the hell was up with Jack talking about only 8 people surviving the plane crash? My jaw literally dropped.

Not really a spoiler either but my heart melted when Jack told Kate he lied about not loving her.

I'm still stunned so it's hard for me to think up of theories right now...

I'm hoping (and pretty sure) that Aaron is not one of the Oceanic 6 because I guess I'm still assuming when they say "6" they're referring to people who were actually on the flight manifest, and I think the story would be that Kate got pregnant on the island by somebody whom the rest of the world thinks died on the island (maybe 1 of the remaining 2 Jack had mentioned in his testimony on the stand?) In fact, I'd be pretty darn disappointed if Aaron was considered one of the Oceanic 6.. because that would mean there's only one unknown left.

The only reason why I think this is so is because Kate kept referring to her as "my son". The Oceanic 6 are obviously trying to cover up the fact that there were more in fact than 8 survivors when the plane crashed. The only question is why.

Anyone confused with my theory yet?

As for Ben... What the hell! His character is so mysterious.. I love it but it drives me INSANE. I liked his little bit of humour towards Miles when they were having their little chat in the cell.

And one more thing.. I'm dying to know the actual chronology of the flash forwards because I'm 100% sure they're not in chronological order. For example...

in the season premiere, when Jack was playing basketball with Hurley, he said he was thinking about growing a beard... yet in last season's finale, he already had one.

-- Ooh this popped up in my head just now maybe when Kate said "he's waiting for me" in last season's finale, she was referring to Aaron. That would make a lot of sense.

Anyway, this show gives me a headache because it makes me think so much.

I'm just worried about our J.Crew model Claire! I mean, she;s not exactly vital, but I certainly don't want her to die! And what Jack did for Kate was intense I just am kind of annoyed with her this episode with the whole Miles debacle, I've gotta say. And also, who died and made locke dictator ?! Thats annoying me too. But in a good way. I LOVE THIS SHOW.

I am curious to find out why Jack has some issues with going to see Aaron. I thought it may be because he did something to prevent Claire from coming back, and so the thought of seeing Aaron would upset him.

Agreed -- especially since he's technically Aaron's uncle!

Was that episode or what?

I won't be able to sleep with that on my mind, so I'll ramble here...

Remember Claire's father was Christian Shepard, so that makes Jack step-brother to Claire. Since Charlie died to fufill Desmond's vision of Claire + Aaron getting off the island on a helicopter, my guess is that Claire dies before they make it 'home'. We know for sure Kate is there, so she cares for Aaron.

But after they all make it off the island, Jack discovers that Claire is his step-sister, making Aaron his nephew. I'm guessing he feels responsible/guilty for her death, and does not want to see Aaron and lie to him.

[edit] You guys post fast (or I'm slow, mostly likely haha)! Came back to the computer before posting and a few new posts pop up

 

[Faith Akiyama]

^That theory makes 100% sense, but it's also terribly sad

 

[LoveLetter]

I was thinking...nothing Ben said is straightforward...so the conversation between him and Miles might be in code and the number 3.2 or 32 (of $3.2million) probably means something else.

I don't think Aaron is one of the Oceanic Six.

 

[julesrules815]

December 25th- I also think that Kate was referring to Aaron in the finale from last season.

Was that episode or what?

^ it was completely !
