No word on what the exact story is with these guys. But, at least you can rest well knowing you'll have a chance to find out, now that Lost's schedule for Season 4 has finally been sorted. Those hoping for a 'full' 16 episode season might have realized that due to the writer's striker there has been little chance of that happening. However all is not lost. The first set of 8 episodes already filmed will be shortened to 7 ending on March 13th. After a six week break, episode 8 will start off a new batch on April 24th and will run for 5 more weeks.

Lost writer, Damon Lindelof, explains that the full story arc for Season 4 will be in effect, just requiring "a shift from high-octane storytelling to superhigh-octane storytelling" to cram 8 episodes of Lost goodness into 5. Great news for all Losties!!
