Yeah, ten years is prob not all doing actual filiming, just a contract for spinoff's reruns, and a possible movie. I'm sure it's standard and gets washed away if the show is a failure, but if it happens to catch fire like Lost did, then the original broadcasters gets a benefit, cheap work signed years ealier on a show that makes millions. I mean, who was really a big star on the show before this. The Hobbit, not likely, Matthew Fox maybe, people have seen O'Quinn(locke), but only if you watch ABC.
