Why is there no Lost tonight?

[Subjective]

If they had, we'd be watching the final season right now. Which, as crappy as that sounds, I'd rather be doing than seeing ABC stretch the show out for another year. The producers wanted two more seasons and 48 episodes, IIRC, but ABC decided to be tricky and gave them three more seasons of 16 apiece.

I think it's the other way around. I heard it was the producers who wanted the remaining episodes spread across 3 seasons.

No! The network is always the bad guy!

I believe it was the networks fault we got 3 seasons instead of 2 due to some contractual reason. Could be wrong tho.

I was part of a hilarious Interregnum-like prank on the IMDb Lost board, in which several of us posted threads about Namaste as if the episode had indeed aired last night. It managed to confuse a few people.

that is a pretty darn mean thing to do

Meh, the fake plot points quickly escalated into the incredibly absurd, such that it should be clear to anyone that it was a joke (someone claimed there was a Kate and Ben sex scene, and it got crazier from there). But remarkably, some people were still not catching on, and the mods ended up deleting all the threads.

The exact same thing happened on this board a few years ago in the Enterprise forum, when people started claiming that a new episode (supposedly named "Interregnum") had aired on a night when there was actually a rerun.
