I do have the book, it's been available on Amazon for a week or so now. Only gotten thru a small bit of it, there's a Q&A with Abrams and Lindelof, episode guide, Lost diary (think that was online), little bit on each character (think it was also in Entertainment Weekly), making of an episode, tons of pictures, 170 pages, bonus Behind the scenes DVD (havent watched yet)

That was my guess as well.

Well when the question was posted above Amazon was still listing it as Sept. 20th. Obviously that has changed since it won't get to you before that date anyway. But anyway...
That is some bullshit. I pre-ordered it Aug. 8 and it says it isn't shipping until Oct. 3. WTF is up with that?

Did anyone read Stephen King's final page article on LOST in the Sept 9th Entertainment Weekly (the one with Matthew Fox on the cover)? King is a big fan of the show and makes a plea with the makers of LOST to not make the mistake of past shows that ran an idea into the ground by never wrapping it up and ending the show. He references The X-Files and the old Western series Wagon Train as shows that made this mistake, the latter of which kept on "wagon-training" and never actually getting anywhere. So he asks the makers of LOST to provide closure after a few seasons and end it, don't just keep on wagon-training.

Damn, I really wanted to get through the DVDs before Wednesday, but it's not going to happen as I got swamped this weekend with social obligations and I"m only through 14 eps.

Abrams or Lindelhof mentioned it at the Emmys. Don't remember it exactly but it made me think they are quite aware of how pissed people were at the finale and how little they are actually revealing.

For some reason, I really hope this is a finite series. 3 Seasons would be perfect IMO.

I don't think ABC will allow this series to finish in 3 seasons.

^Word its a ratings juggernaught, as long as the ratings are there, this show will go on. Unless they do like 3-4 seasons then a movie? Maybe...

I would prefer 5. 5 seasons is always a nice number of seasons for a good show.......a very common one too.

FWIW, I just figured out that Leslie Arzst is an anagram for: "taller sizes"

I got two more episodes ta go. I should just come in under the wire....

The dvd extras mentioned when they were first mapping out the story it worked out to be 5 or 6 seasons.

Much of the Lost cast was part of the Monday Night Football Intro yesterday, and the girls looked hot even when compared to the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.

and there were also supposed to be 9 or 12 star wars movies. ;)
