Well, okay, they didn't quite promise there wouldn't be any onion rings, but the executive producers of Lost have revealed that they do know what the final scene, not to mention the final on-screen image, of the mind-trippy series will be. (Please no snow globe, please no snow globe.)Thanks to the innovative order Lost received from network ABC (that's three seasons, with sixteen episodes per season), producers have been able to intricately plot the next three years of the series, without the fear of being as prematurely terminated as, say, Naomi was in the season finale.
"Yes, we do know what the last image of the show is," said Carlton Cuse, "and it won't be a black screen!"
"We always knew the ending," Damon Lindelof admitted. "We just didn't know how much time to take before we got there. So, yes, it still completely fits with where we're at in the storytelling right now."
Lost's fourth season kicks off in February 2008 (I'd hazard a guess and say February 6th, if I'm being precise) and will wrap its run in 2010.

I for one was extremely excited when ABC signed up to end the show at a certain date so they knew how long they had to finish the show.
