It was announced this morning that Lost executive producers/co-showrunners Damon Lindelof
and Carlton Cuse have both agreed to terms and plan to stay on with the show through the third season.
Both producers have a lot invested in the program. Lindelof co-wrote the two-hour pilot episode with J.J. Abrams and Cuse joined the team shortly thereafter. I would assume both EPs have had added responsibility as of late, since Abrams has been off making and promoting Mission: Impossible III.
This is good news though. I'd like this show to go on for at least two more seasons, but I still worry about all the unanswered questions. They've dug quite the hole and I just hope that everything will be answered satisfactorily.

Unlike 24 which has to conclude at the end of the "day" LOST is open ended and the writers can go on and on as long as ratings hold. Once a ratings down trend is confirmed, then the writers will be in a hole to wrap up the story lines..and if there is no time to wrap up everything...it could be all a "Dream"

How exactly are you defining the 'ratings down trend'? Given that ratings have been on a steady decline for all of season two, I think it is confirmed.

Actually no, the show hasn't been steadily declining, and no, they aren't planning on going on as long as the ratings allow. They are gonna take the time they need to tell the story, and end it.
he said he wanted 5 or 6 seasons, and then it's gonna be over.

It's going to be another American series that will be done to death until everyone is bored of it then wrap everything up unconvincingly at the end when no-one actually cares anymore.
I wish they made it nice and concise, ran it for 2 or 3 seasons and concluded it properly.
