Before I get this off my chest I just want to state that I love Lost, it's the best television show in a long long time, well written and very intelligent, a mainstream show that actually treats its viewers with respect. I also apologise if this has been mentioned before but I don't have time to check through all the posts and I want to see if it’s only me that this is bothering.
After watching Maternity Leave last night I was once again bemused to see the next new episode is in three weeks time on the 22nd March. It is getting really aggravating with constant breaks, but this is plain ridiculous, we have just come off a short break and now there is another. It is totally disrupting the continuity of watching the show. Lost is very involved and these gaps are making it very difficult to keep up with the flow of events especially as Lost has been around for two years yet only 2 months have passed.
I listen to the podcast and I understand there reasons for these breaks, it is a difficult show to make and they don't want long gaps between seasons but I would prefer that over the current one week on, one week off it is becoming now. Damon L. has even apologised for these gaps more than once on the podcast.
I live in England and when series a shown on tv here they are pretty much uninterrupted for the whole season, it makes much better viewing. I don't know if this is commonplace on USA television or Lost is the exception. I believe 24 (how awesome is the latest series?) is shown without any breaks.
As I said I love Lost, but its hurting itself badly with these constant breaks. The season has been excellent but its really difficult to get into due to the stupidly slow pace they are showing the episodes, Lost will suffer in the long run if they keep doing this.
