I was a little suspicious about how this episode of Lost was going to play out after hearing that producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof were going back and forth about which episode should air first, "316" or "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham". They ultimately went with "316" because they felt there was information contained in this episode which should be revealed first, even though "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham" was shot/produced first. Eloise Hawking spilled a fair ... Read More

"This Place Is Death" was an episode which encompassed a hell of a lot. We not only had stuff going on with Jin, but we also stayed with the developments off the island with Sun prepared to kill Ben. I was pleased to see that the smoke monster returned, but I'm curious about that temple it was supposedly guarding. Is it a temple we already know about and I'm just not remembering it, or is it something completely new? While I liked ... Read More

I'm really enjoying the fifth season of Lost. The series has had its dips in quality from time to time, but the story is very good right now, even when relatively little happens. I was curious about why no one other than Charlotte had been experiencing the nose bleeds and I think Daniel may have hit the nail on the head when he mentioned that it may have to do with how long they've been on the island. It's theorized that ... Read More

Wow, Lost turned out one of the best episodes this series has seen last night. Despite being in some intense back pain, I was glued to my seat (when I wasn't moving around, trying to get comfortable), soaking in everything I could. I like the show best when I'm learning things along with the rest of the Oceanic survivors. I don't like it when I (and the rest of the viewers) are two steps ahead and all of the survivors are ...

I don't exactly know how to summarize the first two hours of Lost's fifth season. The first hour was good, but the second hour didn't seem to quite live up to what had taken place. When you air this much TV all in one shot, it takes a lot to process. And with this being Lost, that's a heck of a lot of information. Keeping up with the time changes was a little tough, but I found it interesting that ... Read More

Lost's season five is starting tonight, just in time. I have finished re-watching the fourth season on Blu-Ray and I really enjoyed the season finale. I know that the first episode of this three-part was technically separate, but I'm combining all three parts into one review because it's just easier. Daniel (Jeremy Davies) did quite a bit of work, moving people back to the freighter. I was a little surprised that he would be the one doing it all, but ... Read More

"Cabin Fever" is easily one of my favorite episodes from the fourth season of Lost. It not only contains a fair amount of action, but it also does a good job of setting up the last few episodes of the season. It serves its purpose quite well. Martin Keamy's (Kevin Durand) orders to kill everyone on the island ratcheted up a bit in this episode. His crew had to go back to the freighter to bring a wounded crew member ... Read More

It's no secret that Jack (Matthew Fox) had been getting suck, but it wasn't obvious what his problem was. After some time had passed, it was clear that Jack was in poor shape. It's a damn good thing Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) and Bernard (Sam Anderson) were both there to help remove his appendix. Matthew Fox as Jack Shephard, Elizabeth Mitchell as Juliet Burke Charlotte (Rebecca Mader) and Jin (Daniel Dae Kim) had an interesting little exchange at one point in this episode ... Read More

"The Shape of Things to Come" happens to be one of my favorite episodes from Lost's fourth season. This was one of the few episodes which could be considered to be action-packed thanks to the assault on the camp. Michael Emerson as Benjamin Linus, Terry O'Quinn as John Locke Keamy and his band of commandos took on Locke's camp, blowing up a house and killing numerous background actors and then Ben's daughter, Alex. This was a shocking scene. I've seen this ... Read More

The disappointment continues with the reintroduction of Michael (Harold Perrineau), or Kevin Johnson, if you want to use his alias. It was spoiled very early on in the season as I have mentioned before, so I wasn't especially looking forward to this episode, not now or when I saw it originally. Harold Perrineau Jr. as Michael Dawson/Kevin Johnson The very idea of Michael not being able to kill himself off the island is a little silly but also intriguing at the same time. ... Read More
