End Date? 2010

It's been reported that "Lost" will end in 2010.

Here's the breakdown of the structure for the following years:

1. Spring 2008 Feb. to May – 16 consecutive repeat-free episodes
2. Spring 2008 Feb. to May – 16 consecutive repeat-free episodes
3. Spring 2008 Feb. to May – 16 consecutive repeat-free episodes

Lindelof and Cuse seem pretty confident with this bold move. I especially like a few Lindelof quotes:

"...with the answer-filled season finale May 23, viewers 'will begin to get an idea of what that design will be, and it will not be at all what they expect.'"

"the last five minutes of (this month's) finale are going to seal our fate."

There are pros and cons, but overall this will end up being a good decision. If they revert to the 9:00 slot, "Lost" is set for the next three years.
