Lost: Серия ABC к концу, никаким Sequels или Spin-offs
Lost showrunners Damon Lindelof и Cuse Carlton причинили довольно ruckus в январе на путешествии давления критиков TV когда они объявили то Lost закончил после 2 больше сезонов. ABC быстро ответил что пока они и производители обсуждали дату конца, они не пришли к согласованию. 4 месяца более поздно, свое, котор будут объявленное которое Lost производители получают их желание - вид.
ABC согласился установить дату конца для популярной серии в 3, не 2, леты, albeit с 3 сокращенными сезонами. Each of следующие 3 лет Lost составит только 16 эпизодов (против обычное 22-24) поэтому полное номер будет приблизительно тот же само. Последний эпизод, 120th, проветрит presumably в мае 2010. Свое неисвестне с этой точки зрения если этот новый план-график будет намереваться то любое Lost подрядам актеров' будет нужно быть renegotiated для того чтобы держать их на борту.
Of course, этот новый план совсем контингентн на серии фактическ будучи возобновлянным на пятые и шестые сезоны. Thus far, ABC только возобновлял Lost на свой четвертый сезон запланирован для того чтобы начать проветривать в начале 2008 (правоподобный февраль) и побежит без повторений.
Это Новый курс с ABC убеждает что творческая команда будет управлять загадочной драмой до конца к своему заключению и продолжать начать новые проекты для сети. Дуо сделало Lost твердая дата конца условие их продолжать с серией.
Это движение вероятн поможет выставке в номинальностях. Телезрители упований ABC будут более правоподобны для того чтобы вставить с серией если они знают, то выставка имеет твердую дату конца - против излишек нарисованных вне storylines выставок как X-Files. Сеть может также сделать каждое возвращение сезона Lost в случай вдоль линий HBO Sopranos или Deadwood.
Cuse надеется что больше выставок объявят будущие даты конца и после того как они сказаны, «я думает для рассказ-основанных выставок как Lost, в отличие от franchise-основанных выставок как ER или CSI, аудитория хочет знать когда рассказ идет быть сверх. Когда J.K. Роулинг объявило что будет 7 Горшечник Гарри книги, оно дало читателям ясное чувство точно их облечение было бы. Мы хотим наши аудитории сделать эти же.»
Co-создатель J.J. серии. Abrams, которое теперь работает с Warner Bros. TV и на новой Star Trek film, supports the decision and told Variety, “It is the right choice for the series and its viewers,” he said via an email message. “It takes real foresight and guts to make a call like this. I applaud ABC and Touchstone for making this happen.”
But can the producers and network really let Lost go after only three more seasons? How many times have we been told that The Sopranos was over? Lindeloff says it won’t happen to Lost. “There will be no extensions or enhancements. That number [48] is absolute. Once you begin to see where we’re going, I think the idea of sequels and spin-offs will completely go away.”
And if the producers some up with an incredible idea that doesn’t fit into their plans? “We’ll do it as a radio play.” Lindelof joked. I don’t think they could come up with a better twist than this one. Stay tuned!

Yo, Lost is the best show ever, besides The Shield, and it needs to go on FOREVER, only 2 more years sucks but atleast we know that it wont be cancelled with no chance of finding out what the hell is goin’ down. And also, ‘Monica Marciel’, is a *** *** who has no idea what good television is and why would you be reading about Lost if you don’t like the show? Is that how much of a loser you are? You don’t have anything better to do? Douche Bag!

Lost is one of the better shows airing at this time. If you have not watched you are missing out, if you have and had anything negative to say you are obviously to dumb to reconize great telivison. You are most likly among the Jerry Springer junkies of the world.

The outlook of the proposed ending of the series “Lost” is a further damnation of the American viewing public demenor… is says something when shows that have no connecting factor, like CSI, are winning the ratings. As i watch television critics, they complain that Lost is a series, for one, if you miss an episode that you, aswell, are lost! But I propose that isnt this the sign of a great series? If the critics are correct that just means that “Lost” doesnt indulge in “throw-away” episodes, which it doesnt - if you forgive the episode about the backstory of side charachters paulo and nikki and there rushed, subsequent deaths. - If each episode is completely pertanent to the next and the next then the show isnt wasting your time, it is a continous novel, not an empty fluff piece. I watch Smallville aswell, and I love the show and the advanced aspect they take on the superman character - I find it much superior to the far-stretched comics and movies - but I often find myself picking apart the episodes… the first season was plauged with, the much complained of, freaks of the week, but though the show responded with advancing a more character direct story line it is only through, mostly, one-shot villans that are proposed to the viewer only to perpetuate a five minute continuity of a season story. What is pertanent to the next episode is slim. Lost doesnt fool with us, it lets it be known that this is a series for those who value a quality story, that yearn for and end that they cant predict with any certainty. This brings me to the annouced ending of the show. Much has been mad that the writers\producers knew where they wanted this show to go before they pitched it, but after the successful pilot they were asked to stretch the middle to last the high ratings. This approach can possibly be blamed for the recent lag in the ratings, but the beauty and pain of the show is that although granted the knowledge that not each episode is truly pertenant to the conlusion, the viewer cant readily tell which episode is a throw-away, hence making each epi important in context to the next. Through the airing, of the series - and this is coming from a tele-junkie - “Lost” has never been anything other than the best show on television (in action\drama (comedy goes to Arrested Developement)) …It bothers me that CBS has the best ratings on network television without having a single show that a care to tune in for weekly (King of queens is great but faces a bad timeslot and a not much adu finale approaching.) Its a shame that all of the best shows on TV are facing either, what they feel is, a forced end\cancelation or to anouce a future end date to ensure a trust in the story line… no one every suggested that Seinfeld announce a date because viewers were becoming compacent with the storyline, or Mash, or Friends! (tho, i cant say I ever enjoyed Mash or Friends) but the point is that TV shows that are considered great, that go into the Tele hall of fame do so when the character-actors on it refuse to go on and break-up like the Beatles over some reason or another *eheh! money desputes. ehem!* This al rings of a damn shame to me, right down the line… Arrested Development, BattleStar Galactica, Smallville, and Lost all announcing proposed (or in arrested’s case, already) endings! Its a sad thing to me, I see the talk of dwindeling ad revenue and the debate of the threat of DVRs and Tivo, companies are looking to another medium, now beeing viral ads. If this trend is to continue it wil spell the end of either quality network programs or congressional outlawing of DVR systems… never before have networks thought it best to take there big shows and annouce a finalization date to boost already fair (to great ratings, i mention this because Lost has been noted as the most DVR’ed tv show, and companies dont count that in their ratings… though, i wonder how they differenciate given that they go off of detected tuned-in systems, which would includes cable and satalite DVRs- which must commit a tuner to record- and neilson fill-outs, which any loyal viewer would include a show that they taped but havent yet watched in their loggings… I dont know… Kudos to any who have read through this, but TV is hitting a major obsticle and milestone, a make or breaker. I feel with the desperation to take afformentioned shows and force them through to abbrieviated finales via annoucment, not through proper process, is a sign of extreme desparating, dooming desparation. a show like arrested, granted all of its awards and acclaimations would not have been shown the door so sson twenty years ago.. hell, ten years ago… but when an ad campaign decides a show’s fate the road is clearly becoming far too narrow!
