Shorts intended for Verizon customers will go online starting Monday; first half of season four still on schedule.

With the writers strike currently causing mayhem on network schedules, several fans of ABC's serial drama Lost are very concerned over the fate of the show.

According to BroadcastingCable.com, ABC is still planning to air season four's first eight shows, which are finished and ready to go. The fourth season is expected to be 16 episodes long, and was given a late start so that the network would not have to split the show up with a midseason break and thus lose momentum.

There will always be a question of whether ABC will ultimately decide to delay the show until it can air the new season uninterrupted--like Fox yesterday chose to do with 24--or stick to its original plan of airing the show in February. However, for now it appears that ABC is taking the latter path.

In the meantime, Lost fans can head to ABC.com beginning Monday to see what are being dubbed "mobisodes"--two-to-three-minute shorts that detail untold adventures of the show's characters, according to Entertainment Weekly. The shorts were originally intended for Verizon Wireless mobile devices (hence "mobisodes") but will now air each Monday online.

The collection, known as the "Missing Pieces," is newly shot material that is part of the Lost universe. It is unclear how many episodes will air.

For those with a guilty conscience who fear that they are going against the writers strike by viewing the "mobisodes," EW says new contracts were developed specifically for the shorts, so you can watch them free of guilt. On the other hand, solidarity is solidarity!
