Hi. i posted this topic over at another board...but upon seeing that you actually respond to some posts I though I'd try my luck over here *;D

I'm a BIG Lost fan. The shows are to clever and masterfully put together.
My question is really about how a show is written. Do you guys lay out each episode at the beginning of the season, or do you just sit down and write a whole episode one at a time. how long does it take to finish an episode? how far in advance do you plan the story lines. I've always been interested in the writing of Television show...especially those(such as Lost) that all fit together to wonderfully. I would be thrilled if you could take a minute to answer my questions, so i might have a little more insight to the assuredly difficulty process of putting together LOST.
