According to Kristin on E! Online, Steve McPherson has signed off on the extra hour for Lost. This means we get a three hour season finale! The first hour will be aired on May 15th (10pm), then a mini hiatus, and finally the second and third hours of the finale on May 29th. (9pm-11pm)

"Word is there are so many big reveals the producers wanted to deliver this season that they felt anything less than a full three-hour finale would have cheated the fans. In fact, I'm hearing that the writers' draft for the second half of the finale was 80 pages long, which led all parties involved to realize these stories had to be told now. Anything else would have felt like a rip-off for the fans"

How are they allowed to call it a single "finale" if it's spread out over 2 weeks?

The scary thing about having a three-hour finale is that there will probably be more people killed than usual, or than we thought!

Or some kind of flashback-forward to really screw with us!

Ooh that lifts my spirits a bit! It's probably a bit of both! But I reckon they'll kill a few more people, a couple of shockers, and Sawyer better be in season 5!

Just saw a news story about the Lost extension, it is not being considered a 3-hour finale, just a 2-hour finale. The second to last episode will just be considered an episode.

I don't think it really matters, because all 3 hours will no doubt be mind-blowing in their own respects, just clarifying.
