New season of 'Lost' is beginning of adventure's end [non-spoiler]


From usatoday, Viewers will have to decide whether Lost is half-empty or half-full when the ABC adventure-drama returns for its fourth season Thursday (9 ET/PT). Because of the Hollywood writers' strike, only eight of 16 planned episodes have been produced.

Cast members say that ABC's decision to provide some Lost rather than none is smart and that they are pleased with a quickened pace and more answers to Lost's mysteries.

"We're all going to be disappointed that there are only eight instead of 16, but the eight episodes are amazing, and I think fans will be very satisfied," says Yunjin Kim, who plays Sun, the pregnant wife of Jin (Daniel Dae Kim).

If you have already seen season 3, go here for a good recap and for some hints on the direction of the series.

Wait, why are they only planning 16 episodes instead of the usual 24? Are they packing in that much more awesome?

There are 3 seasons left and each season is only going to have 16 episodes. However, this season might only have 8 because of the writer's strike. If you click on the link they talk about making each episode more intense given the shorter season.
