When Lost returns this fall, it will be in two big blocks. The fist block of 6, then the rest will start in February. Meaning we’ll get a big break between the two.
The producers are apparently looking at the first block of 6 as a mini-series.
I am not overly happy about how big a gap there is, but what can we do. At least it is better than the couple episodes, tons of repeats then more episodes, repeats, episodes, cycle of last year.
Spoilers may follow…

It may be a while before we learn more about Michael and Walt, but they are ready to account for Michael David Kelly’s (Walt) growth spurts. The first episode will focus on Kate, Jack and Swayer, so at least we don’t have to wait too long to find out how that resolves. We’ll find out if Jack and Kate winked at each other as if everything was going to plan.
