LOST-WTF?

Seriously LOST, WTF? End on a giant cliffhanger, bigger than you've ever done before (which is saying a lot) and then you drop the REAL bomb on us; no new episodes until 2010. 2010?!?

I heard talk on the local radio station that it might not be until Fall 2010, but reading Wikipedia (yeah, I know), they say that the series finale will be in May of 2010, which is not as bad as Fall, but that still means another nine months of waiting until the first episode of the final season. And I swear if it starts off soft and waits until the last three episodes to pick up the pace, there will be blood in the streets. I want action, I want a whole lot of answers, and I want them now.
