Our heroes prepare for next week's finale, when they all (according to Richard) die. 

  • S.05
  • Ep.14
  • 'The Variable'

Lost: So Faraday (Doesn’t Anybody Stay in One Place Anymore?)

For those who worry that 'Lost' has too many bad dads, this ep is for you. 

  • S.05
  • Ep.13
  • 'Some Like It Hoth'

Lost: Miles to Go Before We Sleep

This Miles-centric episode focused mainly on daddy issues, 'Star Wars' analogies, and fart jokes. Yes, fart jokes. 

  • S.05
  • Ep.12
  • 'Dead Is Dead'

Lost: Smoke ’Em If You Got ’Em

Ben's not much of a hero, but he can babysit anytime.

Kate, Juliet, and Boy Ben set the future in motion. 

  • S.05
  • Ep.10
  • 'He's Our You'

Lost: Shot Through the Heart, But You’re Too Late...

Intra-Dharmite color, sparkly dialogue, psychedelic torture, only a dash of Kate, plus the most insane ending since they jumped off the Island. 

  • S.05
  • Ep.09
  • 'Namaste'

Lost: Why So Hostile?

Show, you are so strange and inconsistent, why do we love you? Clearly you are our wonderful, awful Kate. 

  • S.05
  • Ep.08
  • 'LaFleur'

Lost: Sawyered!

This was basically our dream episode, full of spooning, miracle births, Alpert eyeliner jokes, and four-toed statues! 

  • S.05
  • Ep.07
  • 'The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham'

Lost: Picking Locke

John Locke, best (and most original) character on the show, light of our life, fire of our loins, anti-hero of our favorite episodes! 

  • S.05
  • Ep.06
  • '316'

Lost: Jack Don’t Know Jack

We return to the Island with strategic narrative slices removed just to mess with our heads. 

  • S.05
  • Ep.05
  • 'This Place Is Death'

We don't rate episodes, but hey: B+? 

  • S.05
  • Ep.04

The plot gods have enriched us beyond measure.

  • S.05
  • Ep.01-02
  • 'Because You Left, The Lie'

Something bad, bad, bad is about to happen, some event that left our favorite people looking deeply screwed-up in that big, empty airplane. 

  • S.04
  • Ep.11
  • 'Cabin Fever'

Lost: Locke, This Is Your Life

As soon as we understood this episode was a Locke backstory, we felt preemptively distressed. After all, the man's history is all retro humiliations and “Don't tell me what to do.” 

  • S.04
  • Ep.10
  • 'Something Nice Back Home'

Lost: Guess Who’s Dead!

We'll admit this was a decent episode, if only because it made us care about the whole Jack/Kate thing, and not just what their hair looks like. 

  • S.04
  • Ep.09
  • 'The Shape of Things to Come'

Lost: Die Hard on an Island

Whoa! Seems like the 'Lost' writers' room got awfully itchy during the strike, and when they got back all they wanted to do was blow some stuff up. 

  • S.04
  • Ep.08
  • 'Meet Kevin Johnson'

Lost: Not Yet!

Damon Lindelof, you're killing us with these sad episodes! And apparently, you're also intent on killing Michael. 

  • S.04
  • Ep.07
  • 'Ji Yeon'

Lost: Tough Job for a Recapper on Maternity Leave

They really turned the screws last night, throwing Sun into flash-forward labor and leaving us in tears over a tragic twist we were completely unspoiled for! 

  • S.04
  • Ep.06
  • 'The Other Woman'

Lost: Wherefore Art Thou, Juliet?

Even on the island of lying liars, Juliet stands out, with her unique combination of sad doe eyes and icy Kabuki gaze. 

  • S.04
  • Ep.05
  • 'The Constant'

Lost: Answers! No, Sorry, Time Travel!

Wow! We're gonna need a bigger chronological structure. 

  • S.04
  • Ep.04
  • 'Eggtown'

Lost: Kate, Baby Thief!

It's clearer than ever that the survivors who survived did a bad, bad thing! 

  • S.04
  • Ep.03
  • 'The Economist'

Lost: Sayid and His Enormous, Sad Biceps

Being one of the Oceanic Six can get you laid in any coffee shop in Europe. 

  • S.04
  • Ep.02
  • 'Confirmed Dead'

Lost: What’s the Deal With These New Guys?

This episode would have rocked our world even if it didn't feature the comedic stylings of Jeremy Davies, a.k.a. the Twitchiest Actor on Earth. 

  • S.04
  • Ep.01
  • 'The Beginning of the End'

Lost: We’re Pretty Sure We Have It All Figured Out

Awwww, the very first episode of the season, and it centers around Hurley, the survivor with the biggest heart and the biggest (and most improbable) gut! 

  • S.03
  • Ep.22
  • 'Through the Looking Glass'

‘Lost’: So Who Was That Dead Man?

Wow. Last night's episode of Lost was possibly the best ever. 

  • S.03
  • Ep.21
  • 'Greatest Hits'

‘Lost’: Die, Charlie, Die!

After so many months of not hearing Drive Shaft's "You, All, Everybody," we almost missed how the song gets stuck in our head … and remains there for the rest of the week. 

  • S.03
  • Ep.20
  • 'The Man Behind the Curtain'

‘Lost’: We're (Not) All in the Same Gang

So who's really running this operation? 

  • S.03
  • Ep.19
  • 'The Brig'

‘Lost’: Freewill Doesn't Come Cheap

Last night on Lost, the unthinkable happened: a plotline was (partially) resolved. 

  • S.03
  • Ep.18
  • 'D.O.C.'

‘Lost’: Even God's Got Daddy Issues

Flight 815 crashed and all the passengers were killed?!?
