The long running WGA (writer's) strike looks like it is all but over. National meetings for the West and East WGA branches for their membership yesterday (Saturday) proceeded positively, and at 12 noon today (Sunday) there was an announcement of the steps that will be taken to end the strike.
First, all show-runners are going back to work tomorrow (Monday). Second, a two-day full membership vote from Monday to Tuesday will be held by the WGA to vote to end the strike formally. Third, a ten day vote will then be held by the entire membership to vote to ratify the new contract. (See

This all means that Lost's show-runner, who is Carlton Cuse (usually over in LA), is returning to work tomorrow. Look to see unofficial word from Carlton, or official word from ABC that the Lost team will soon be assembled with great haste for creating more episodes of Lost Season 4. If we hear or see anything on the ground regarding the film crew in Hawai'i, we'll let you know.
