The thing that bothers me about Lost is that they're going to make this season run for 13 episodes, when it was planned as 16 - and they said that they'll still finish the planned story. So that's the remaining 8 episodes compressed into 5..

Sad, I actually kind of liked the Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Does anyone else think that the majority of networks lost out on an opportunity with the writer's strike? Great cable shows like Battlestar Galactica could have had reruns show on NBC as if it were for the first time, exposing those shows to a whole new audience.

Instead they just ran reruns and reality shows, with a few exceptions. Huge mistake, IMO.

I completely agree. It's really disappointing.

I think some networks were planning on doing that, but this writer's strike was just weird.

And it could have also hurt those shows because what if the writer's strike had lasted a month or so. No one knew and it would make it look bad if a show was on for like 2 weeks then suddenly dropped. And also sometimes cable shows are made with a bit more mature audience. Like Dexter was supposed to be shown on CBS but would be editted for a TV audience which would make the show lose some of its charm.
