Even before the fifth season started there were some rumors that ABC had decided to maximize their May sweeps payoff by “stretching out” Season 5 with a week or two off, rather than having the finale air mid-month.
Well, this has now been confirmed by ABC’s site ABCmedianet.com: on March 11 the network will re-air episode 8. This means that we will have to wait another week to watch episode 9, airing on March 18th.
It is frustrating for LOST fans to have to wait even longer for new episodes, however this allows the writers and the production team to have more time to polish the rest of the episodes for the remainder of the season therefore we shouldn’t complain, right?

@Shluffy04ADN: every movie and TV show needs “polishing”, even LOST.
The photo is from a TV Guide Magazine scan.

i knew this would happen eventually its only 2 weeks we’ve waied a lot more than that in the past so i guess its not to bad considering.

1 week is not that much compared to the 8 moths between seasons.

So why not just add an ADDITIONAL episode to maximize the May sweeps payoffs? I would not mind having 18 episodes in total instead of 17. Anything else is lame….

It’s only 1 week… What can I do? Same thing I’ve always done, guys. Surviving.

@ Sherazade,
HAHA.
But I think you got the quote wrong. It’s “Same thing i’ve always done… Survivin’. No “g” at the end and it has to sound Scottish for some odd reason. haha I always loved that line
