Lost Review: "The Incident" (Episodes 5.16-17)

By Rachel Dovey at 11:56 AM on May 14, 2009

The faceless Jacob appeared in Lost's season finale, "The Incident," last night. In fact, he appeared again and again; he opened, and nearly closed the episode, and his dark annunciations to all of the Lostites before they returned on the plane wove a tight tapestry throughout the episode. As the various groups of characters scurried around like frenzied mad hatters and white rabbits (Jack to detonate the bomb, Sawyer to stop him, Locke to kill Jacob, the beach dwellers to find the statue), Jacob's presence became as certain and quiet and sure as the future every character was bolting away from....  read more

Lost Review: "The Variable" (Episode 5.14)

By Rachel Dovey at 11:15 AM on April 30, 2009

This week's episode of Lost revealed a whole different side of Daniel Faraday. We've oscillated before about the true nature of the physicist to no avail. We decided he's mostly a decent guy, barring the whole experimenting-on-his-girlfriend-then-running-away-when-her-brain-turned-to-mush thing. In the past, he's just seemed lost and confused, and since he has those big, earnest puppy eyes we decided to forgive him. ...  read more

Lost Review: "Some Like It Hoth" (Episode 5.13)

By Rachel Dovey at 11:00 AM on April 16, 2009

This week's episode of Lost, "Some Like It Hoth," was sharper and more finely tuned than one of Jack's (or now, Juliet's) surgical scalpels. With great detail and precision, it carved out the life and past of Miles, one of the final pieces of Lost's missing story....  read more

Lost Review: "Dead is Dead" (Episode 5.12)

By Rachel Dovey at 1:20 PM on April 9, 2009

Locke and Ben are the Ares and Hephaestus of the Lost Olympus, and like true frenemies, the larger-than-life pair likes to stick close together, feeling each other out, watching each other, in "Dead is Dead." They're always on alert, and they have to be; when Locke let his guard down last, Ben clawed his way to control with a rope, a vacant hotel room and an airborne coffin....  read more
