The ABC site says all new this week...maybe they've decided to air #8 and will go on their one month break after this week? I dunno...
EDIT: IMDB lists Thursday's episode as the last new one until April 24th, so a month hiatus until we get the last 5. I think the writers said there was a good cliff hanger after the 8th episode (This week's), so I guess they decided to go with the original plan and come back after #8.

After Thursday's episode the show will take a hiatus until April 24 when it will return with 5 new shows. Note the new time beginning April 24; 10pm.

BOO on 10pm starts. Which means my wife I and won't start watching until 20 after or so (damn commercials), so it'll be after 11 before getting to bed. Damn, I'm getting old...

It was written as the season finale so it oughta be a freakin' ride and a half. I am stoked we get 5 extra post finale episodes. I think we'd have ended up in basically the same spot as we are going to after this week in a full 16 ep season so the extra 5 gives them some time to flesh some stuff they may not have in the first place Plus it gave us the best run of shows sicne season one.

If this season is only 13 weeks, are they adding the 3 weeks onto one of the last two seasons? I recall they signed a 48-episode deal last year, but I haven't heard if the strike changed that.

Nope, from what I understand, they are putting 8 episodes worth of content into these last 5 episodes. So after this season, it'll be 16 next year and a full last season...

OK, thanks. One note - the final season is supposed to be 16 episodes, not a full season.

yeah they took what was supposed to be two seasons and broke it into three with 16 eps a season. none of the final three are a traditional full season of 23 episodes.

I thought I had read 2 16 episode seasons and a 23 episode season, but it looks like I am very well mistaken...
