The Alphabet exasperates Lost viewers
The latest episode of ABC'S Lost was full of the dramatic tension, flashbacks, chracter development and cliffhangers the series is known for.
A delirious Mr. Eko wrestles with past demons; some of the castaways go to the Pearl station to find a computer they can use to locate Jack, Kate and Sawyer. Jack does not know who to trust when two of the Others are at odds with each other. Unfortunatelly for fans, next week's episode will be the last new one for a while.
I almost stopped watching this show when I learned that ABC is stretching out the third season's 22 episodes into what amounts to two seasons of real time. This means that even though the fall TV season barely began, we are getting a "fall season" finale next week and then there won't be another new episode until 2/07/07 when the network will air the other 15 eps. That's three whole months in between new episodes!!
To think I used to complain when the UPN network used to air all the Buffy episodes in a row, then we would have 11 weeks of reruns until we found out the resolution to a cliffhanger or got to see a new show. Compared to this, that seemed like a walk in the beach.
Considering this is one of the alphabet network's blue chip shows, I can see why they would refrain from airing new eps during the holidays, most networks do the same thing, but does this scheduling seem a bit screwed up to anyone else??
