Season Five of Lost the Best Yet

With the fifth season of ABC’s Lost in full swing, it’s finally time for this year’s musings about my favorite show. But first, let’s take a look back.

The first season is probably the best season of any TV show I’ve ever seen. Every episode was gripping, emotional, confusing and unbelievably entertaining. Although what we thought was keeping our attention was the mystery of the island, what made the show truly great was its characters. During each episode, we watched one of the characters change. We saw a bad husband become a good husband, a drug addict recover, several characters trying to overcome unresolved issues with their fathers, ex-criminals realize what it means to become a productive member of a community – it was television drama at its highest level.

John Locke is terug

Een artikel van internet dat gaat over John Locke.

Terry O'Quinn's Locke is back from the dead on 'Lost.' Really.

At this stage of “Lost,””%20mystery no one actually believed that John Locke would remain dead, but still, it's satisfying to see him alive again. That is, alive in the way that you and I are -- not in flashbacks, and not in the way that the ghosts of Charlie and Ana Lucia appear to Hurley or the ghost or some supernatural semblance of Christian Shephard roams the island.

Artikel over het ingewikkelde Lost

Een artikel over de theorieën over Lost.

The endless subplots and surprise revelations of the desert-island thriller "Lost" have driven viewers to embrace all sorts of theories about What It All Means. But maybe the answer lies close to home. At least if your home happens to contain DVDs of the 1960s spy sitcom "Get Smart."

"Lost" is in the middle of its fifth season, which some fans have described as one of its most challenging (or frustrating) ever. But it spoils nothing to report that much of the ABC series' mystery has depended on an unusual phenomenon in which electromagnetism causes the island to move, rendering it impossible to locate.

But was all of this actually prefigured in "Get Smart," Mel Brooks' classic parody starring Don Adams as the bumbling secret agent Maxwell Smart?

A friend of ours pointed out (half tongue-in-cheek, but still) that during the 12th episode of the fourth season, which originally aired on Dec. 21, 1968, Max and his new bride, Agent 99 (Barbara Feldon), are stranded on Schwartz's Island.

It just so happens that Schwartz's Island moves. And what do you know? In the center of the island sits ... a giant electromagnet. Freaky, isn't it?

So, is it all just coincidence, or do "Lost" producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof secretly worship at the shrine of Brooks and Adams?

"Yes, that is in the category of complete coincidence," Cuse e-mailed back when we ran the notion by him. "Never heard of that until now — among ALL the theories!"

Lindelof added: "But, for the record, we DO worship at the shrine of Mel Brooks and Don Adams!"

Some "Lost" mysteries are resolved more easily than others.

Overledenen in televisieseries

Een artikel over de grootste schrik-momenten tijdens het overlijden van tv personages. Onze eigen John Locke staat op nummer 6.

6. John Locke/Jeremy Bentham, Lost
Just as John accepts his destiny to lead the island-dwellers known as The Others, it's revealed via flash-forward that Locke is the man in the coffin three years later in Los Angeles. Of course, death is a relative term on Lost (he has since appeared to have been resurrected), but seeing our favorite faith junkie lying in eternal slumber was perhaps more mind-blowing than watching the island completely disappear.
