Since Lost made its debut as a cult phenomenon in 2004, certain
things seemed inconceivable. In its fourth year, some of those
things, like a rescue, came to pass. The season ended with Locke
(Terry O'Quinn) attempting to persuade the Oceanic Six to return,
but he dies before that can happen--or so it appears--and where
Jack (Matthew Fox) used to lead, Ben (Emmy nominee Michael
Emerson) now takes the reins and convinces the survivors to
fulfill Locke's wish.
As producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse state in their
commentary on the fifth-season premiere, "We're doing time travel
this year," and the pile-up of flashbacks and flash-forwards will
make even the most dedicated fan dizzy. Ben, Jack, Hurley (Jorge
Garcia), Sayid (Naveen Andrews), Sun (Yunjin Kim), and Kate
(Evangeline Lilly) arrive to find that Sawyer (Josh Holloway) and
Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) have been part of the Dharma
Initiative for three years. The writers also clarify the roles
that Richard (Nestor Carll) and Daniel (Jeremy Davies) play
in the island's master plan, setting the stage for the prophecies
of Daniel's mother, Eloise Hawking (Fionnula Flanagan), to play a
bigger part in the sixth and final season.
Dozens of other players flit in and out, some never to return. A
few, such as Jin (Daniel Dae Kim), live again in the past. Lost
could've wrapped things up in five years, as The Wire did, but
the show continues to excite and surprise. As Lindelof and Cuse
admit in the commentary, there's a "fine line between confusion
and mystery," adding, "it makes more sense if you're drunk."
Other extras include deleted scenes, featurettes, a "lost"
episode of Mysteries of the Universe, and commentary from writers
Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz on "He's Our You," a reference to
Sayid, who tries to change the future by changing the past.
