Writers' strike

Executive producer Carlton Cuse of "Lost" writes on his sign: "Do you want to know what the island is?"



I believe the studio is still deciding on whether to air the eight finished episodes written for "Lost's" fourth season, or postpone the premiere until the strike ends.

I'm kind of glad that I'm not caught up to the third season yet. I started watching the first season to "Lost" very recently, so I guess I'm not feeling as much pressure now about completing the other two seasons in time for January. But, when I eventually finish watching all of it, the studio had better start letting Cuse answer that question.

Fox has already made their move on "24". The seventh season will not air its premiere in January. As an avid fan of this show, I don't know whether to be more let down as a fan, or supportive for the writers' cause. I'm thinking, "Yeah, good for them-- it's about time." But, I know in the back of my head that I'm itching to see Tony Almeida (and possibly Michelle, David Palmer... and heck, maybe even Teri Bauer) come back from the dead. I'm waiting to see just how far the creators are willing to go in heightening my suspension of disbelief this time. They pulled off an evil President in season five. I guess a dead character returning can't be that questionable (?).


My hope is for this strike to be effective, beneficial to the creative community... and quick. Please make it quick.
