LOST cannot be canceled.

I hope the writers strike ends soon.
Has anyone heard the rumor that the next season of LOST starting in February is going to be canceled because of the writers strike and then the next two seasons extended to 24 episodes each. Just wondering if there is any truth to this? I sure hope not.
I actually heard that each of the next three seasons will be filmed as 2- 8 part series’ for each year. As I understand it, they have already filmed the first 8 episodes of ‘08. My guess would be that they will show those 8 episodes, and then leave the next 8 for the following season. But I don’t know.
I have heard no rumor yet that they will cancel ‘08 totally.
No, Rufus, but rumors are flying about everything so I would take them with a grain of salt.
I did read at BuddyTV.com, which is a fairly good source of info, that Carlton Cuse is going back as producer to go over the last 8 episodes to make sure they are ready to go. He’s not going as a writer, he’s going as a producer. But who knows????
Oh, and they are going back to the bargaining table today too, which is good news!
The following is from DarkUfo!
As the WGA strike begins its 4th week, I’ve been told positive news about today’s resumption of contract talks between the writers and the producers. So positive, in fact, that I’m almost fearful to post it. But here goes: a very reliable source tells me that there appears to be a deal seemingly in place between both sides.
“It’s already done, basically,” the insider describes. That’s because of the weeks worth of groundwork by the Hollywood agents working the writers guild leadership on one side, and the studio and network moguls on the other. I was told not to expect an agreement this week. But my source thought it was possible that the strike could be settled before Christmas.
Look, I don’t want to raise false hope here. But this source has been very accurate in the past. The negotiations starting today will have a news blackout, so don’t expect any significant leaks. But consider the real possibility there’s been a breakthrough. Still, I must caution that this is Hollywood — where defeat is snatched from the jaws of victory nearly every time.

The solution to all this is obvious.
I propose a meeting of all lost-theories.com regulars. My house on Friday. Topic: taking hostages in an effort to bring this craziness to an end.
Maybe some of you could bring jello molds or dip?
well with all the good posts on this site we might be able to write the next three seasons, hahaha
Sounds like a plan, Q, I*ll bring the dip. :-)
I hope that the writers have gotten a better deal and it doesn’t end up costing all of us a little bit more just so the executives can keep raking in the cash.
I am proving everyone with the link to be updated to the strike negotiations. The article today is too lengthy to cut and paste here!
Sounds encouraging, though, but nothing definite.
