Lost: What the hell is ABC doing???

Can someone please explain what the hell ABC is doing with the ever popular Wednesday night show Lost? For the second time in a month, they have shown a repeat episode from LAST SEASON! I mean c'mon what's up with that? If I wanted to see an episode from last season, I would've gone out and bought the DVD. It seems like they are showing only one new episode a month with all the repeats they mix in. I know there is a lot of backstory to follow, but could they at least run a few "first run" episodes for a few weeks to keep those fans happy? I know budgets are tight, and with the stars exhorbitant per episode salary, costs need to be kept in line, but the way they (ABC) are going at it, they will only produce 10-12 episodes a season. Maybe I'll just say "Screw it!" and wait until next season and buy this current season so I can watch all the episodes from the start of the season until the end, without any repeats, or last season "fill ins" :lol: Thank God my other favorite show Rescue Me will be re-joining the FX lineup shortly.

Maybe they are running out of ideas, and they are just trying to cover their ass. I have not watched the show, but i have a bunch of pissed off friends who want new episodes
