Has there been cuts to LOST's budget?

[Jack Sawyer]

Does anyone know if there has been cuts to LOST's budget? Is this possibly the reason we've seen so much less of Jack, Locke, Sayid?

Someone...say it ain't so...

Well, I don't think that's the case. Obviously the ratings are not so good, but I don't believe that's why we see so little of Jack or Sayid. In my opinion, Season 5 had so many different storylines and the writers could not fit all the characters in one episode.

Cool. It was just a thought; I hoped it wasnt true and I hope you're right. I just read a little blurp in a google search from darkufo, and it mentioned speculation to this effect, but I dont go in there...so I thought I'd bring the question here.

So is that final? Or does anyone have any more information on this rampant speculation? Darkufoers perhaps??

I think the main actors get paid for every episode of the season, even if they arent in them or just in them a little

After that HORRIBLE CGI sub this gets me thinking..

[NotAnOther89]

Yeah that was terrible...I'd prefer if that shot was taken out for the dvds...I can use my imagination.

Well, the horrible freighter explosion and the horrible helicopter crash were not taken out either...

At least those two had camera movement to offset the graphics.

Guys, this is TV not the movies. There is a certain amount of flexibility you should be giving them in regards to special effects. I am sure the time given to GCI in the movies is much greater than in TV.

I didn't think it was horrible at all.
