With Lost currently airing its fourth season, the powers-that-be behind the mystery and adventure-packed series have already begun dribbling details surrounding upcoming seasons 5 and 6. Lost showrunners, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, spoke to the New York Post and offered a few hints on what fans of the cult program can brace themselves for.
"Season 4 is about who gets off the island and the fact that they need to get back," Lindelof said. "Season 5 is about why they need to get back, and season 6 is about what happens when they get back."
Aside from a general overview of their best-laid plans for Lost's fourth, fifth and sixth seasons, Cuse and Lindelof also gave up their inspiration for how they determined when to end the show. According to them, it was Harry Potter's bestselling author, J.K. Rowling, that helped gave them the idea to end the Lost television adventure after six seasons.
"When we heard her say that she was only writing seven [Harry Potters], we were inspired," Lindelof declared. "Franchise shows like Grey's Anatomy don't need to have a beginning, middle and end. They can bring in new doctors, nurses and patients, but shows like ours need to have a place to go."
Finally, the New York Post interview also shed light on the recent confusion surrounding Lost's broadcast scheduling plans for it's current fourth season lineup of installments. It is now confirmed that Lost will air seven episodes prior to taking a break, and then returning on April 24 with installments eight to 13. This supports reports alluding to the fact that episode seven offers a more sensible cliffhanger point than its successor.
"There will be very significant mysteries answered in the seventh episode," Cuse hinted. "The eighth episode is non-traditional and the start of something new."
The world is changing and so as to be able to keep up with these changes, officials who do have a say on particular matters are making sure that they would be doing everything they can. One of the things that we are experiencing in our world is the high amount of pollution that seems to be unstoppable. However, pollution and smoke may not be entirely eliminated, but people in the automotive world are making sure that they would be able to at least lessen the amount of emissions that automobiles create.
Along this line, the European Parliament also wants to do its share on keeping the environment as clean as possible. Of course, there are certain things that such a form of government could do. Like perhaps ask the manufacturers of Ford auto parts or maybe even Saturn performance parts to actually minimize emissions and lessen the amount of waste that the factories or facilities are sending out to the environment. And on one point, the Parliament now has decided to change and revise their emission standards. Right now, they have already sent out information on the new Euro 5 and Euro 6 emission standards.
According though to motorists and also to car manufacturers, the newest set of emission standards have actually become quite challenging. You see, the European Parliament has already set that the new standards would be having rules on the limit values for elements like nitrogen oxide as well as on particulate matter. These can be found on both the proposals for Euro 5 and Euro 6. The new emission standards have already been affirmed by the government a couple of days earlier.
Ivan Hodac explains, ?The European car industry will do its utmost to meet the extremely ambitious targets within the set time frame. What concerns us, is that the proposed limit values will not only be extremely difficult to meet, but will have a significant counter-productive effect on reducing CO2 emissions from passenger cars. They also pose a serious risk for the market of small diesel cars.? Hodac is the secretary-general for the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, or the ACEA.
