Lost Review: "LaFleur" (Episode 5.08)

Like last week's "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham," "Lafleur" was a filler episode. TV Squad put it well: "when we first started watching Lost, it was like dumping a giant puzzle onto the floor. At this point, the entire puzzle is assembled, and for the most part, we can almost see the big picture, save for a bunch of pieces that are still missing. Lafleur was one of those pieces."...  read more

Lost Review: "316" (Episode 5.06)

Lost has a long, complicated relationship with religion. While the show is not overtly religious, it is decidedly metaphysical, and not just as a sci-fi nodding to whatever else is "out there." Smoke monsters, ghosts, baptisms, churches and priests with rosaries and biblical walking sticks have all populated the island's lush environs since Season One....  read more

Lost Review: "This Place is Death" (Episode 5.05)

When Jin floated up to Rousseau's raft on a piece of plywood, I had mixed feelings. On one rather superficial hand, its nice to see his chiseled cheekbones again. But from a critical perspective, I know that one of Lost's most effective strategies is its merciless annihilation of characters. The production crew kill em' off and don't look over their shoulders, and plot lines are completely unpredictable as a result. Hopefully the show has a deeper, plot-based reason for bringing him back on, and its not just a ratings ploy....  read more

Lost Review: "The Little Prince" (Episode 5.04)

Last night's Lost officially got its groove back. Not that the first three episodes haven't been wonderful, rife with plot twists and turns, flashbacks and forwards, and shocking cliffhangers. But the roller-coaster of the season intro was so wild it was hard to keep a grip on the plot, and "Jughead" delved mainly into the islanders' histories. "The Little Prince" did what ABC's darling does best, and meshed a dizzying, flash-around plot with snippet-glances into each character's mind. The character development is on....  read more
