Now I'm seeing someone at LTV mentioning it's an official move to Monday at 8... *goes to see if she can find more*

ETA: There's no official press release so it may just be a rumor still.

Question: I am saddened and angered about the way that the Lost producers chose to end Charlie's death story line. They mentioned in interviews that they felt his death would be the best way to end Desmond's premonitions and that the fans would be cheated if Charlie didn't die. What about those of us who feel cheated that they killed Charlie, those of us who hoped that Charlie could overcome his fate? What about the feel of the episodes of "Tricia Tanaka Is Dead" and "Par Avion"? Looking back at those episodes makes me feel depressed as opposed to the hope for Charlie that I felt before. What kind of message are they sending? That fate trumps free will? That we are all destined to do something, and we have no say in it? They also mentioned in one of the interviews that they felt that there wasn't more to say or do with Charlie. I disagree wholeheartedly. Charlie is more than just a character who overcame his heroin addiction. They could have shown Charlie being reborn after his incident in the hatch and the Looking Glass. He could have finished the church that he started with Eko. His relationship with Claire and Aaron could have been further explored. They could tell us what happened to his mom, and why his dad invoked so much fear in the "Fire and Water" episode, his codependency issues, explained the deal with being able to swim or not, etc. Killing him was just a sign of being uncreative. The producers also mentioned that with Charlie's death they are saying to the audience that no one is safe. I disagree. Everyone expects characters that do not have that much screen time to die. If they really wanted to shock the audience, they should have killed someone on the A Team (Jack, Kate, Locke, Sawyer), and not one of the characters whose death we have been told about for months now. Killing Charlie was just anticlimactic, to be honest. Charlie brought a lot to the show that others do not. His relationships with other characters and the way he always wanted to be involved with the goings-on on the island made Charlie a much better character than any of the dreaded A Team and their love triangle of doom. They did a great disservice to the fans, and I hope that they get what they deserve because of it.— Sabrina

I like this chick.

You posted that three days ago.  They already have an 8-page thread!  We are a much less hysterical group.

I think the time change is good  -- I like an earlier time.

Moving Lost to Monday nights? Man. To be honest, Wednesday are kinda sacred to me now. Whenever I think Wednesday, I think of Lost. Besides, I have to work on Mondays.

And Monday is Heroes day...not Lost day...dammit!!! Wednesday is Lost day!!

But, I suppose as long as it's not on on Thursday, I'm good

I agree. Thursdays are no good either. Don't know why but for some reason whenever something good is suppose to be on and it's Thursday, I forget. Weird huh? Like Burn Notice. Love that show, but I always forgot and had to watch it at the 1am showing.

From the New York Times, regarding the writers' strike:

Quote :

Returning favorites that were not scheduled to be broadcast until 2008, like Fox’s “24” and ABC’s “Lost,” also are expected to complete filming on close to half of their expected season’s episodes. If a strike looks like it could continue well into next spring, those shows will probably have seasons that are shorter than planned. Some new shows also could be affected. Variety reported last week that “Heroes: Origins,” a six-episode spinoff of the hit “Heroes” that was expected to be broadcast during a production break in the original series, had been postponed because of the strike. NBC declined to comment.

Damon Lindelhof just called into a local public radio show in Philly about the writers' strike.  Although he claims the writers are prepared to hold out for a 5-6 months, none of the commentators on the show anticipated that the strike will go on for that long.  Only 8 of the Season 4 episodes have been written, and would be ready for airing "as soon as February" (his words).  He suggested an abbreviated Season 4 is not only possible, but likely.

SAG will be attempting to negotiate with producers about "new media" compensation when their contract is up in June, so there is also the possibility of another strike at that time.

24 is also not going to air its episodes for the next season until all are complete for the season.

The producers of Lost offered up a few answers behind the mysteries in season three and a few hints about the upcoming fourth season. The third season drops on DVD on Dec. 11.

Executive producer Carlton Cuse admitted that the people who were on the jet that crashed into the island all have to pay a price for being there. "Yes, and that price is $3.95," he kidded. "In seriousness, the show is about redemption. All the characters on this island are confronting the failures of their past and revisiting issues that go to the core of their emotional make up."

Cuse also 'fessed up about the person in the coffin seen at the very end of season three. Was it someone we've seen before? "Yes," he said without elaboration.

Damon Lindelof, a co-creator and producer, was asked about why the expectations set up for the return of young Walt (Malcolm David Kelley) never seemed to materialize in the third season. Will they be seen again? "Oh, you'll see him again. But you're going to have to be patient. Sorry."

Fans first complained that not enough answers were revealed in the first half of the split-up season, but Cuse said, "We think the balance at the end of the season was right. We see each season of the show like a book. The answers were essential for this book of the show to feel complete."

One of the pressing questions by hardcore fans is how many days the survivors have been on the island. Lindelof said, "By the end of Season Three, the survivors have still be on the island for less than a hundred days ... but don't forget that you may be jumping into the future next year, so anything goes!"

The space-and-time-travel element was explained when the creators nailed down an end-time for the series. "When ABC/Disney allowed us to end the show in 48 more episodes, it was time to begin a new modality of storytelling, which includes flash-forwards," Cused said. "The show is like a mosaic. There are tiles in the present, in the past and now in the future as well. When all the tiles are in place, the story of Lost will be complete."

The third season seems to push Kate (Evangeline Lilly) and Jack (Matthew Fox) even further apart and more toward Sawyer (Josh Holloway), but the last episode muddied the waters a bit. Cuse teased, "The Jack/Kate/Sawyer triangle is something that will go on for a long time. And who says they don't have a chance?"

The creators don't think of their characters as ambiguous when it comes to good and evil, specifically Ben (Michael Emerson) and Locke (Terry O'Quinn). "We would use the word complex," Cuse said. "We are interested in exploring how good and evil can be embodied in the same characters and the struggles we all have to overcome the dark parts of our souls."

The unveiling of Jacob, the mysterious leader of the Others, didn't necessarily satisfy questions in season three. "If you felt the unveiling of Jacob provided answers, you are probably in the minority! We felt it was important to introduce Jacob as more than just a name at this point as he will become important downstream," Cuse said. The fourth season of Lost starts Feb. 6.
