A Lost Lost Opportunity for J.J. Abrams
Shepherding in one way or another not one (Lost) or two (Six Degrees) but three (What About Brian, returning Oct. 2) prime-time dramas this fall, J.J. Abrams' many TV obligations have caught up with him. As a result, he will not be directing the seventh episode of Lost — the first following the series' mid-season hiatus — as planned. "I was supposed to leave today for Hawaii to begin prep on an episode I was set to direct and I was dying to do — the story is just mind-blowing — but because of work on these other shows, I've been unable to do that," Abrams shared in a Tuesday teleconference with reporters. Instead, Abrams plans to get behind the camera for a later Lost outing, if not the season ender. Already teasing "such an enjoyable conclusion" to Season 3 (which doesn't even premiere until tomorrow night), he says, "I'd love to be able to work on the finale."

What a waste of time to pass on Lost to concentrate on those 2 other shows.
What About Brian? is sooo bad! There's no way it will survive a month. They only agreed to do a second season because it was a J.J. Abrams creation. But it sucked.
And Six Degrees is not much better either.
Anyway, Lost doesn't need J.J. to be great. He's barely done anything on the show. The writers are the ones who count. And as far as I know, they're not leaving.

As long as the writing is there and in place for some great shows, it doesn't really bother me that much.
It's also good to know that they've actually planned ahead enough to know what they're going to do for the season 3 finale!
