"Due to the writers' strike, the season will instead last only 13 episodes, consisting of the 8 pre-strike episodes already filmed, and an additional 5 post-strike episodes currently being filmed. The show will go on a 4 week hiatus after the conclusion of the 8th episode and return April 24."
There is also talk of fitting the three others into the following seasons, making them one or two eps longer
I hate the mid-season breaks. I can't stand to be off of something that should continue the entire season. grrrrrrr....I guess i will have to find something else to do on a thursday night.
Man tell me about it!
There was a big problem with this for Lost fans, so that is why they waited until Jan to start the season, so they can run uninterrupted till may, much like 24 does. Wasn't for the strike it would be.
That is one of the reasons they aren't doing 24 at all this year, they don't want to break it up
At least they tried
That's pretty flawed reasonsing imo.
They're worried about a lousy 4 week break, so instead they force fans to wait 8 months between seasons instead of 4? They shorten seasons to 16 from 24, adding one more year of wait?
All this move did was take the same content and drag it out.
