Locke and Boone find an abandoned plane. Lost - Season 4. Locke locates Jacob's cabin. Ben moves the island. Lost - Season 3. Kate is imprisoned. Sayid leads a fight against the Others. Lost - Season 2. Michael and Walt leave the island. Lost - Season 5. Ben kills Locke. Jacob is killed by Ben. His final words are "They're coming. Lost - Season 6. After floundering in the previous year, Lost found its footing again in Season 4, thanks to a tighter balance between character drama and sci-fi spectacle.
With a mysterious freighter coming to the island, the survivors must deal with unwelcomed new guests while finding a way to finally get back home. Unlike the previous three seasons, which followed both an island storyline and flashbacks to a specific character's life, Season 4 embraced a flash-forward storyline that detailed the lives of certain survivors that made it off the island.
This new storytelling model helped freshen things up while still sticking to the signature Lost formula. Add in more explosive action and some of the best twists since the show's early days, and Season 4 served as a strong start to the series' final episodes.
By the time Season 5 came around, Lost had leaned more heavily into its sci-fi elements and its own mythology than any season before it. After being teased in earlier seasons, time travel took center stage as the survivors who made it off the island returned to save those they left behind, only for some to get lost in the s. Those stuck in the past helped shape the island's history, while those in the present had to deal with the first real emergence of the human form on the Smoke Monster as he prepared to destroy the island.
Despite some critics beginning to get frustrated with the increasingly ludicrous mythology, reviews for Season 5 were strong thanks to its solid character drama and thrilling action. Every great show has to start somewhere, and Lost 's first season started with a literal bang thanks to a bombastic pilot directed by J. Season 1 introduced fans to the survivors, the mysterious hatch and offered brief glimpses into The Others and the Smoke Monster.
This blend of character drama and intense action made Lost an instant hit with critics, who often pointed out that there was nothing else like it on network television at the time.
Season 1 was much more focused on its characters rather than the island's mythology compared to later seasons. Though the mysteries kept people guessing, learning about how the survivors ended up together and the secrets they brought with them was the true heart of the show at the beginning. Or just, you know, when I think about it. Excuse me for second. Except… for Sun and Jin. Especially after a lighter season five of sitting back and letting some others do their thing, Jack comes through with the clutch in the end and saves the whole entire world, even if only, like, three people actually knew what was happening.
Hottie of the Year Award: Hear me out, ok? Trust me on this, ok? You have no reason to, but just go with me, ok? Regular old John Locke is hunky dory, very handy, very thrifty, very knowledgable, but nothing to write home about in the sex appeal department. Island Hottie for this year is the Man in Black in Locke hehe. ABC, give me a ring. Things picked up in that department post-season 3 the show runners and ABC struck a deal for three more seasons, each consisting of 16 episodes, a move that gave the writers a clear picture of the endgame and the amount of time they had left to tell the story they set out to but the season itself was still mired by episodes where Claire tries to catch birds or something am I making that up?
That said, we had some incredible character introductions this year, and none so delicious as…. One of the things that Lost suffered from in its first two years was the lack of a tangible villain.
Ben put a face to the villainy, even if it ended up being retconned down the road. Please respect my privacy during this difficult time. Favorite Ship: Charlie and Desmond. Honestly, Charlie was a good buddy to anyone he was paired with.
What a delight. That hair, too, my god. But this is the last time, I swear. Was it a lie? Or was someone actually telling the truth for once?
As it turned out, they were telling the truth, and not only was this incredibly satisfying, but it was so much fun to finally see the time travel aspect pay off in exactly the way we wanted it to: our favorite castaways getting into mischief in the past that had a direct effect on things they dealt with in the future.
So cool! Not just time travel for the sake of being thematically twisty and confusing! Even if it was. Those two, for my money, are my favorite relationship the show gave us. Juliet initially served as a foil to the Jack and Kate thing, which was fun for a minute, if not a little annoying. But Sawyer and Juliet getting together and taking care of business is exactly what makes them….
Are we calling it that? Citation needed. Season one of Lost was a revolutionary entry in the canon of network television. It changed the game of serialized ensembles dramas , for better or worse better, see: The Leftovers , Succession , Mad Men ; worse, see: This Is Us , Once Upon a Time , and all those one-season-wonders in the post- Lost era of networks scrambling to find a new Lost.
But as a part of the greater whole of Lost itself, looking back, season one actually served up more frustration than anything.
