Who is "The Economist?"

Season 4 Episode 3, "The Economist." Hell motherfucking YEAH that was a great episode.

Spoilerific talk about Sayid inside....

If the strike ends today....

Lindeloff and Cuse told Variety they couldn't finish all 8 episodes, but could probably do 5 and have them ready to air in succession.

Also, they think they'd just compress those 8 episodes into 5 and finish the arc they originally had planned.

And then next year, add 3 more episodes to complete the contract.

So that's good news.
