The End of LOST?

The Internet is full of articles today claiming that ABC will very soon be announcing the endpoint for LOST. The rumor is that the show will be over after five seasons, but there is some question as to weather they will be traditional 22 or 23 episode seasons. Several months ago, the producers implied that they wanted to do about 100 episodes in total which would make season five only about 9 or 10 episodes. They have also hinted at a movie that would wrap up the show but this newest rumor doesn't mention that. In short, it would seem that the show will be ending on the producers terms and not milked into irrelevance by the network. If this proves to be true, it should make the episodes that we have left as good if not better than what we've been seeing for the past few weeks. Very exciting if you ask me!
