Thursday night saw the final pre-strike “Lost” episode, but after a short break, the producers are promising five more “super-charged” shows to wrap up the season.
The thrilling sci-fi drama will return to CTV after a four-week break in a new time-slot, 10 p.m. ET, on April 24th.
On a previous edition of the official “Lost” podcast, producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse commented on how they had to change their original plan for 16 episodes before the writers’ strike. Tonight’s episode is the eighth episode of the season.
“We’re basically going to take our plan for eight episodes, and we’re going to try and compress it into five more episodes,” says Cuse.
Optimistic about how the new shows are going to turn out plot-wise, Lindeloff promises, “It’s going to be a super-charged five hours of show.”
On April 24th “Grey’s Anatomy” will also return with its first new episodes following the strike.
Last week’s episode, “Ji Yeon,” was originally planned to be the first “mini-finale” before the break, but instead “Lost” left us with a few more answers — and a couple of deaths. Rousseau and Karl were shot by an unknown party, leaving Alex — Ben’s “daughter” — alone in the woods and very, very scared.
“Meet Kevin Johnson” mostly followed Michael Dawson’s flashback, explaining where he’s been since leaving the island by boat in season two.
It also explained how he came to work as Ben’s spy on the mysterious freighter.
Harold Perrineau, who plays Michael, has recently said that he’s slated to appear on “Lost” at least until the end of this season.
Before he left on the island, Michael helped Ben (known at the time as Henry Gale) escape from the Hatch, where he was held captive by Jack and Locke.
In the process of freeing Ben, Michael killed Ana-Lucia and Libby, before shooting himself in the arm. Under suspicion, he was brought along with Jack, Kate, Hurley and Sawyer as they left on a mission to the other side of the island, where they were ambushed by a group of “Others.”
