There had been speculation that “Lost” would end on May 18, but the network has announced the finale will air May 23 from 9 to 11 p.m.

That’s a Sunday. It will be preceded by a recap. Recaps are popular and apparently necessary for “Lost” fans.

Will fans be happy to finally learn all the secrets of the complex sci-fi drama, or will they be sad that it’s all over?

No more “Lost” chat rooms. No more endless speculation about what it all means. And there’s the risk that the ending won’t be satisfying.
