what are the producers of lost thinking?!

Okay how many of you fellow Lost fans noticed that on the previews for next week's show, they said that it would be the "Fall Season Finale" ... and noticed the advertisements for a new show starting in 2 weeks at 9:00 on Wednesdays? Now, is anyone else thinking, "Didn't they just start this season?!?!?!" Last night was only the 5th episode! I'm starting to think that I'd like to be an actor on Lost ... fame, a good paycheck, work in beautiful Hawaii ... and very little work to do because the season is soooooo short. I'm frustrated that they've opened up so many new questions and given so little in the way of answers ... And now how long do we have to wait? I wouldn't be surprised if the next new episode isn't till the middle of March! (And I don't think they can blame the break on someones maternity leave! I sure hope that when they do wrap everything up that they do a better job than they did with Alias!)

Spoiler - stop reading if you didn't watch last night.
On another note, I'm very sad to see one of my favorite characters go! I will miss Mr. Eko. Anyone else going to miss him?
