'Lost' set for three more years

from Variety.com:

In a potentially paradigm-shifting play, ABC has agreed to let the producers of "Lost" set an expiration date for the series -- three years in the future.
Skein will now wrap after the production of 48 additional episodes that will be divided into three, shortened 16-episode seasons. Final episode -- the show's 119th -- will air during the 2009-10 season.
...
Cuse and Lindelof also wanted an end date in order to mollify critics of the show who worried producers were simply spinning their wheels as they worked through the show's layer upon layer of mystery.
...
In its third season, it's still drawing as many young viewers as NBC's newer, more buzzed-about "Heroes" -- and that's not counting the roughly 2.1 million viewers who watch the show after its live broadcast or via free streaming on ABC.com.

Wow, that was nice of you.

For the rest of us fans, thank you E

Welcome

I'm glad to hear about it, because I go back and forth with my frustrations and boredom, so it's good to know they've intentionally set a deadline so we can finally get some REAL and CLEAR answers!!  I'm willing to wait it out now that I know that.

Apparently the second half of season 3 is really good!  They start to theorize about what's happened to them.
