For now, at least, ABC’s sci-fi fantasy ended its time travel in 1977 — and if you haven’t watched this week’s episode yet, stop reading right here.
The reunion in Wednesday’s episode “sets the template for what the show’s going to be in the next phase of storytelling,” says executive producer Carlton Cuse. Kate, Jack and Hurley have rejoined Sawyer and Jin, disguised as new Dharma initiates; Sayid, deemed an island “hostile,” is imprisoned. “We’re kind of done with the rapid skipping through time for a while,” Cuse says.
In the seven remaining episodes (including a two-hour, game-changing finale May 13), he says the show asks, “What do they do now, and what are the consequences of that?”
Starting next week, the show returns to its original format, each episode built around a single character with the back story in flashbacks.

Lost executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof promised to call me as soon as they came up with a nickname for the closing — and assuredly jaw-dropping — scene of this season’s finale, which is now slated for May 13.
The thing is, the boys aren’t nicknaming that moment this year.
You are.
TVGuide.com has learned exclusively that in this week’s official Lost podcast, posting to ABC.com on Thursday, Team Darlton will formally invite viewers to suggest a nickname for the season finale’s final moment.
In seasons past, that head-scratcher has been dubbed “Bagel” (Walt is abducted by the Others!), “Challah” (Penny’s research team locates the island!), “The Rattlesnake in the Mailbox” (Jack is flashing forward!) and “Frozen Donkey Wheel” (which, quite literally, Ben rotated to move the island).
The ink is barely dry on the finale script and it’s at least a week from being filmed, so you’ll just have to go with your gut when conjuring up a nickname. There is talk, however, that the season-ender will (SPOILER ALERT) culminate with “the incident” referred to by Marvin Candle in the first orientation video.
Submissions can be directed to ABC.com/asklost, with the producers’ pick being announced on ABC’s March 26 podcast.

Celebrated US Airways pilot Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger not only scored an invite to Tuesday’s Presidential Inauguration, he also has an open invitation to visit the set of Lost, the ABC series revolving around the miraculous survivors of a plane crash.
“We would love to meet Sully,” Carlton Cuse told TVGuide.com when asked if he and fellow Lost executive producer Damon Lindelof might invite the pilot to visit the show’s production base in Hawaii.
Sullenberger has been commended for his ability to safely land Flight 1549 in New York City’s Hudson River, and without any casualties among the 155 passengers and crew members on board. That he was able to do so, Cuse notes, is rather ironic given one of the “extras” on the Lost Season 4 DVD set.
“It’s funny,” says Cuse, “because there’s a special feature which has somebody trying to debunk the Oceanic 6’s story” about surviving the plunge of Flight 815. “There’s this aviation expert basically saying, ‘A water landing is impossible. That part of their story doesn’t hold up. You could never land a plane on the water.’”
Eau contraire.
