The already shortened “Lost” season was cut even shorter by the WGA Stike. Producers are making up for one of the 3 lost hours with a super-sized season finale. Sci-Fi Wire has:

ABC confirmed that it has ordered an additional hour of Lost and that the SF hit’s two-hour season-four finale will air May 29 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

ABC’s announcement on April 14 confirmed a rumor, first reported by TV Guide columnist Michael Ausiello. The additional hour brings to 14 the number of hours in Lost’s strike-truncated fourth season.

ABC noted that Lost will be pre-empted on May 22 due to a special two-hour Grey’s Anatomy season finale.

Lost returns with the first of five new episodes on April 24 in its new timeslot, Thursdays at 10 p.m.

The 3 hour finale is spread over two weeks (1 hour then 2 hours). With the way this has come about I assume that the producers/writers needed more time to complete the season arc, and asked for more time. I doubt (and hope not) that this isn’t just filler.

What are your feelings on a 3 hour finale?
