OK, stick with me on this. Kristin Dos Santos at E! always has the goods on “Lost” and she never disappoints — this time, offering up the post-writers’ strike plan for new episodes, which includes a shift in timeslot.

So here’s the skinny:

• “Lost” will air the seventh pre-strike episode on March 13 and then will be off the air for six weeks.
• The show returns April 24 at 9 PM, with the eighth pre-strike episode.
• On May 1, “Lost” moves to 10 PM, when “Grey’s Anatomy” returns with new episodes in the 9 PM time slot. Five new episodes will air in this time slot each week.

Eight episodes of material needs to be condensed into the five new episodes — Damon Lindelof commented: “We are going to execute our full story plan for season four. This simply requires a shift from high-octane storytelling to superhigh-octane storytelling. It requires no cramming, only a slightly heavier foot on the gas pedal…so, hold on to your hats.”

Consider my hat held.
