Asked about the fact that each season only seems to cover just a few weeks of time, Lindelof responded with, "You're making a basic assumption that they've been there as long as [the characters] think they've been there," and hinted that perception may be changed in season 3.

The rabbit hole deepens!

Cant wait for season 3, its taking an age for season 2 to finish in the UK so i can buy the full boxset (watched all the american episodes, so the waits tough).

Theres a LOT that needs to be answered this season...

as good as it is, this show is always teetering on the edge of disappearing up its own arse, x-files style. if it's going to happen, it'll happen in season 3

they said theyve enough for 4 or 5 seasons, and when the story ends the story ends. if the network wants to continue the show, the writers wont be taking part of it.
so yea itll prolly drag on too long because the network wants it to, but the actual story they started with will have an ending

I liked Lost A LOT so far. Still, my prediction is it will turn to shit in season 3.

Season 3 will make or break Lost. As critically regarded the first season was, the second totally fell flat. They better put on their A game.

"Lindelof talked about the show having what he saw as a logical endpoint, and balancing that with the network likely wanting the show to go on for several years, saying, "We have four, maybe five awesome seasons planned out, and after that we'd have to start tap dancing, which is something we don't want to do," and pondered telling the network, "Fine, you can do more episodes of Lost, but we won't have anything to do with that." Ultimately, Lindelof observed, "The reality of ending it on our own terms is unrealistic, so we have to work around that.""

Again, they fuck up the season with the time slots...
Lost: Big New Change in Scheduling
TCAs: ABC announces its series premiere dates, and their plan for Lost.

Lost will return on October 4th, at which point it will begin a six-week run of new episodes with no repeats. However, on November 15th, the Taye Diggs series Day Break will take over Lost's timeslot and begin its entire 13-episode first season, which will air without repeats. When Day Break concludes, Lost will return in early February, airing the remainder of its season with no repeats or breaks. McPherson said this decision was based on the frequent fan complaints about repeats interrupting the story flow on Lost, saying, "We listened to the audience about repeats, and it seemed this was the best way."
So instead of like last year having repeats every couple weeks you'll just have a 13 week break after seeing the first six episodes.. nice.
