Three-hour 'Lost' finale!!!

Oh happy day!
I tipped y’all to this possibility last week, and it looks like it’s true: We’re getting an extra hour of “Lost”-erific goodness this season!
This translates to a THREE-hour season finale. (My prayers to the four-toed statue must have worked…)
See if you can follow this:
TV Guide says that the first hour of the finale will air at 10 p.m. on May 15, with the last two hours airing TWO WEEKS later, on May 29. (So no “Lost” on May 22, when the finale was originally supposed to run.)
Why?
Well, the “Lost” producers convinced ABC that the last two hours absolutely HAD to run together. The 22nd air date was then out of the running, because the finales of “Ugly Betty” and “Grey’s Anatomy” were also airing that night.
So the network bumped the rest of the “Lost” season send-off to May 29, from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m.
A bit confusing yes, but well worth a touch of turbulence in my viewing schedule if I get to watch 60 more minutes of “Lost” this season.
And it gets even better: Producer Carlton Cuse confirms that—as promised—the finale will indeed reveal who’s in the freakin’ coffin!!!
The overflow of love for “Lost” benefits “Grey’s” fans, too. The hole that “Lost” created in ABC’s May 22 lineup means that there now will be a super-sized, two-hour “Grey’s” finale that night.
Can’t wait for “Lost” to return next week (on April 24 in—don’t forget!—its new 10 p.m. time slot) in the ramp up to the season ender?

Remember how last season’s show-changing flash-forward scene between Jack and Kate was nicknamed “the snake in the mailbox?”
Well, this time the blockbuster twist is code-named: “Frozen Donkey Wheel.”
Analyze that one…

YAY! All the Lost I can get, I will take.
Frozen Donkey Wheel? Okay, I'm stumped.
