Checking in with the Writers

While we fans stumble aimlessly through the next Lost-less month, the writers of the show are hard at work. Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, the team that most recently brought us "The Economist" and "Ji Yeon," spoke briefly to SciFi.com about how things are going.

"The last two weeks before the strike, we actually sat down and said, 'Here is what we want to tell for the rest of the season,'" Kitsis said in an interview. "We all sat down, and the entire staff came up with a battle plan in place."
When Lost returns in late April, it will wrap up the fourth season with five episodes, three fewer than planned before the strike took place. "We got to tell a little more story this season than we anticipated," Kitsis said. "It's really worked out well. We came back from the strike, and everyone is just really excited, and I have to say, creatively, every day has been a pleasure. Everything we're doing right now is exciting, and every script that is going out, you're jealous if you didn't write it."

As for the three lost episodes that will be tacked onto future seasons, Kitsis suggests that will mean not an extended season, but rather more 2-hour episodes. That would be kind of awesome - I get more excited about those two-hour season finales than I get about Christmas - although he cautions that "those are decisions above our pay grade."
