Lost Will End on a Sunday
Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse were on Jimmy Kimmel last night (video below) with a big news announcement: The final episode of Lost will air on May 23. Don’t bother checking your calendar, I’m sure mine is pretty much the same. Yes, May 23 is a Sunday. And yes, Lost normally airs on Tuesdays
I’m not sure why they’re doing this. I’ve asked ABC and will update this if they get back to me. (UPDATE: It’s being done simply to make it a bigger event.)
But from what I can ascertain, Season 6 of Lost is set to be 18 hours long, with the premiere and finale each being two hours. This leaves us with 16 nights of Lost, and when put on a calendar with the May 23 end date, that leaves one week open. Again, I’ve asked ABC when that date will be, and will update if I hear.
In another bit of Lost-dating news, it was announced at the premiere event in Hawaii that the Season 6 DVD set will be available this summer. Not really a surprise. But of greater importance is that the Complete Series DVD set, which is sure to be loaded with goodies, will also be released this summer. And probably set you back at least $200.
