In a highly unusual move, the network announced plans today to end the show after three more shortened seasons of 16 episodes each. The episodes will air consecutively, repeat-free, from February to May.
ABC's bold step marks a response to the show's producers, who have been eager to set a finish line to better plot out their convoluted mystery of plane-crash survivors and to placate fans who are frustrated that the show seemed to be vamping its way to a conclusion.
"Among fans there was an unease that they were making an investment in a show that's complicated without any sense of where that's going to lead them," co-creator Damon Lindelof said in an exclusive interview. "From the very beginning, fans and even critics have been saying, 'Are you making it up as you go along?' " which was "a legitimate question."

So, good or bad? Although it means an 8 month hiatus between every season, the speed at which the plot will move will have us begging for more, and with another 3 years to go, this is definitely a good thing.
Hang in there, I expect an active poll will be up within the next couple of hours.

NNOOOOO!!! Im so sad that lost will end but the plus is that hopefully we will get more juicy answers from darlton. 8 months is long but worth the wait.

I'm relieved that ABC has made a commitment for another 48 episodes. The producers will be able to plot out the rest of the story, and the viewers no longer have to worry that the show could be canceled with questions left unanswered.
