Scifi.com reports that Lost’s Season Four return to our screens will be in a new timeslot on Thursdays, beginning January 31st. Now, my friend Ron has said for a long time that what Lost needed was a slightly shorter season so that there would be less filler episodes, and he was pretty excited to hear about the new 16 episode season. However Scifi also suggests that like Heroes, Lost may also have an abbreviated season, since only 8 of the 16 episodes were filmed before production had to be shut down. I guess we’ll just have to hope that things get resolved soon.
