More LOST-ing news, still no spoilers

[trinityvixen]

Out of curiosity and nostalgia, I looked back over my previous posts with my "LOST" tag. I wrote this back in 2007:

Imagine if the LOST guys had stated their optimal seasons-long deadline as six years two-three years ago when they pitched it. By the time it was the hot thing of the season, advertisers would probably have paid Super Bowl-worthy prices for ad time.

Word has it that advertisers paid $900,000 for 30-second commercials during last night's finale. This explains why there were so many commercial breaks, even for LOST. Makes you wonder what money they could have made if they took out all those inane fan tributes...

Sounds like a good reason to make the finale as long as possible...

Good point, although I didn't feel that this one dragged particularly.

Well, we skipped all the commercials...

Another very good point.

Luckily if you watched online they only had 3-4. You can't skip them, but I find the Mute button works just as well.
