The ODI

Here is the exclusive interview from E! Online's Kristin with Matthew Fox after the LOST panel at Comic Con 08.

Enjoy!

**Very Minor Spoilers** Related to direction of the show.

Here is an interview of LOST Star Elizabeth Mitchell from EntertainmentWeekly's Kristin.

Kristin visited the set of LOST about a month ago and she has slowly been releasing a new interview everyday of this week. The other interviews had some minor spoilers, but this one did not reveal much, but is still a cool interview.

Mitchell does speculate on what she thinks will happen with her character.

So as rumored a few days earlier, LOST producers were negotiating an extra hour of Season 4 of LOST and today thanks to Kristin at E! Online we have the word that the additional hour is now official!!

So we will be getting a 3 hour finale split into 2 episodes!! However, there is one catch and it is not that bad of a sacrifice for us fans to get that extra hour. The firts hour (part) of the finale will be on May 15th as planned, but the final two hours and finale part 2 will air on May 29th (Initially Scheduled for May 22nd).

So this is what the revised schedule should look like NOW:

Updated Season 4 Schedule:
Episode 9 (Apr. 24th)
Episode 10 (May 1st)
Episode 11 (May 8th)
Episode 12 (May 15th) - Finale Part 1
NO EPISODE May 22nd to Accommodate Ugly Betty and Grey's Anatomy (2hr) Finales
Episode 13/14 (May 29th) - Finale Parts 2 and 3

Of course this is a MAJOR move by the LOST producers and ABC just for the fans, because the extra hour and finale two hours of the season will air AFTER huge TV Ratings Sweeps period. According to Kristin's source, once ABC saw Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse's plan for the finale they knew the change had to be made.

Yes, yes I know ABC would not make this move unless they could make money off of it still, but this is a amazing and it is the right thing to do. Thanks Darlton and ABC!!!

So once again mark your calendars again!!

Here are the details from E! Online and thanks to Lyly for the heads up!!

It's official: Sources confirm to me exclusively that Steve McPherson has signed off on Lost's extra-special 14th hour this season, which means Lost is getting a three-hour finale! The first hour airs May 15, the second and third hours will air May 29. (In between, on Thursday, May 22, Ugly Betty has an hour finale and Grey's Anatomy airs a two-hour season finale of its own.)

Word is that there are so many big reveals that the producers wanted to deliver this season, that they felt like anything less than a full three-hour finale would have cheated the fans. In fact, I'm hearing that writers' draft of the second half of the finale was 80 pages long, which led all parties involved to realize these stories had to be told now. Anything else would be a ripoff.

So, ABC made it happen, with the help of Shonda Rhimes and Grey's Anatomy, who agreed to a two-hour finale on May 22. And bless McPherson and friends for taking the risk of letting the Lost finale air on May 29—that's after the end of the critical ratings sweeps period. If you're a Lost fan, but don't usually watch Grey's you might consider doing Team Alphabet a solid and just tuning your TV to their channel for the GA finale that night!

Needless to say, this news rocks. Post your excitement below.

As most of you know the big news from the LOST-verse was that the producers are trying get one more additional hour approved by ABC.

There is no official word yet, but Kristin from E!Online also has a report with a few interesting tidbits about this potential extra hour.

If you SOME how missed this story, click here to read the original post.

Here are the details:

Truth told, I heard the news last night that Lost's producers met with ABC about the extra hour; however, I was told by inside sources it was "much too early to report," since the pitch meeting just happened yesterday and since ABC has not yet had a chance to respond. I was asked to hold off since my sources didn't want the fans to be disappointed if the extra hour didn't end up happening.

That said, please don't shoot the TV Diva if this doesn't end up going down, but in case it's of any help to you, here's what my well-connected insiders say about where things stand:

* It is looking "highly likely" (yay!) that there will be an additional hour of Lost for season four, for a total of six hours coming up in the spring run, starting April 24.
* Producers pitched the idea of a two-hour finale to ABC, and if they end up getting an extra hour but it is not to extend the finale, well...that could be messy.
* The sense among insiders is that ABC execs very much want to make this happen, but like I said, they have not yet had a chance to respond. Fingers crossed they will soon and it'll be the right (i.e. "yes") decision!

You'll know more when I do. In the meantime, keep your pants on, your nose clean and April 24 circled in glitter on your calendar. And if you're feeling frisky, post your hopes for Lost's spring run below!

Hey Losties,
If you have not heard, Dominic Monaghan was in Los Angeles this week for his art show.

During his visit E!Online's Kristin met up with Dom who played Charlie on LOST and they talked about his role on LOST and she asks him if he is planning a return to the show!?

NOTE: There is a potential minor spoiler where he mentions that he felt that the LOST producers might have a bigger plan for Charlie.

Thanks for stopping bye and namaste.

Here is an article from Kristin at E! Online who has spoken with some of her ABC contacts to get us some dates and schedule for the final 6 episodes of Season 4.

As we already know, the writers said Episode 8 will be moved back and added to the new 5 episodes to make a total of 6 episodes to end the season.

So basically we get 5 more episodes (3-7) ending on March 13th and the next 6 (8-13) will air beginning on April 24th at 10PM after Grey's Anatomy.

So start planning your schedules now.

Here are the full details:

Lost is back! Oh, wait, that happened two weeks ago.

What I mean is, Lost will be back-back, after the strike. And even better, we've just checked in with inside sources, and we have dates! Yes, dates! So, break out your calendars, 'cause we're hearing this is the approved plan:

The last episode of the current pod (episode seven) will air Mar. 13. Then the show will be off the air for six weeks and return Apr. 24 at 9 p.m.

(That Apr. 24 episode will be the already-completed episode eight, which was filmed prestrike, but which apparently works much better as a minipremiere than it does as a minifinale.)

Anyhoo, the following week, on Thurs., May 1, a little show called Grey's Anatomy returns to its usual 9 p.m. time slot, so Lost will move to 10 p.m., where it will stay for the rest of the season.

"Yippee" just doesn't do it justice, does it?

To find out what this all means for the season-four story, I checked in with my personal Jesus, Damon Lindelof, who explains how his writing team plans to squish the eight episodes of plot they had planned into only five more episodes.

"We are going to execute our full story plan for season four," D.L. says. "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."
