Lost: The Incident Closes Season 5 with 2 Hours of Weirdness and More Questions than Answers
While it wouldn’t be fair to say that I didn’t actually get at least as much if not more guilty enjoyment from the Lost finale more than I did from the season 4 conclusion it leaves the show teetering on the edge of insanity and one push the wrong way could send things about 4 feet to the right of too crazy to enjoy. The real question is that with only a handful more than a dozen hours left in this 6 year saga are ever we going to have more questions answered than raised from week to week? But then again, that’s what the fun is all about.

Lost: Follow the Leader - Season’s Best is Saved for Second to Last as We Prepare to Nuke the Island.
While it wouldn’t be fair to Lost to say that I haven’t enjoyed the hell out of season 5 so far, I’d be first to admit that the story arc seemed to drag, get distracted and lapse into some odd silliness here and there. I didn’t care for the early season dwelling on the children issues or the whole voodoo ritual that brought Locke back from the dead and got the 5/6ths of the Oceanic Six back to the island. However, It would be incredibly unfair to not admit that Follow the Leader is probably the most entertaining episode of the season if not in the best in several seasons.

Lost: The Variable. Time Travel Paradoxes Continue to Elude Attempts to Cause Them in the 100th Episode.
It’s official, Daniel Faraday’s mom is a real punk. We have continually seen her behavior get more distasteful and rude over the show’s run, and this time she finally comes within striking distance of Ben Linus as the most hated character in Lostland. Not only does she shoot my current favorite supporting character, it’s her own son.

Lost: Dead is Dead & Heroes: Turn and Face the Stranger. Two Reviews Shortchanged in One Brief Article!
Since my life this past week has plunged into the twilight world of an intriguing bargain bin Nintendo Wii game, playing the XBOX Live Arcade download of Robotron 2084 until my eyes have started bleeding and pounding down some time with our Nintendo DSi I have had not much time to reflect on this week’s episodes of Heroes and Lost. 
This is actually a tragedy since between both of these programs provided some decent entertainment this week. If you watch both programs, hear me rant for a few paragraphs. If you watch one or the other you can skip the parts you don’t care about.

Lost: Whatever Happened, Happened…or Did It?
I’m going to cry lack of imagination on Lost this week. Not only did they feel the need to explain away something that really didn’t need explaining, they made the show inherently less interesting by doing so. This really starts at the conclusion of the previous episode when our favorite Iraqi castaway gunned down the puberty-primed Ben Linus.

LOST: He’s Our You- The Time Paradox Theories of Einstein, Hawking, Doc Brown and Sayid Jarrah?
Those who have this overwhelming urge to shoot a 12-year old boy had the chance to live vicariously through Naveen Andrews Wednesday night. Speaking from a strictly personal viewpoint I rarely have the urge to pump bullets into a 12-year old with the small but notable exception of my own son. However for the sake of my family and personal freedom I generally resist. In this case however, finding out how this shooting of a minor will turn out should be quite a ride.

Lost: Congratulations Namaste Class of 1977!
I love happy reunions. We’ve been working all season for this moment and when we finally get there everybody hugs, tears well up, and for a brief moment everything was wine and roses. Of course, panic ensues and it seems like Sawyer is going above and beyond to make things smooth and safe for the second round plane crash survivors. Yes, there’s panic and concern but everyone’s on the same side now, right?

LOST: LaFleur is 25 Years Too Soon
Since last season we’ve been hearing the same refrain over and over again. In every possible worried tone and accompanied by every possible facial contortion from Jack we’ve been hearing “We’ve gotta go back to the island.” “You’ve gotta go back to the island, Jack.” “We’ve gotta go back to the island, Kate!” “You shouldn’t have left the island, Jack.” Just like Faraday’s description of the island being a record skipping, this refrain had gotten old. Two weeks ago it was a relief to actually get their rear ends back to the island so we wouldn’t have the hear it again. So now what?

Lost: The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham
If you’re the type of person that’s likely to grow tired of wondering who the hell you’re supposed to trust anymore in Lost you’re probably not too thrilled with The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham, this week’s installment in the ongoing paranormal soap opera. I think conventional wisdom would lead us the conclusion that both Ben Linus and Charles Widmore are simply right bastards.

LOST: 316. “We’re not going to Guam, are we?”
I have to admit that I spent the majority of my life buying into a lot of BS. Whatever the paranormal flavor of the week was I was usually right up front to buy the book or watch the special on the so called “Learning” or “Discovery” Channels. In recent years, I’ve found much comfort in the real world, though as I’ve discovered the wonderful world of critical thinking. This in some ways is hurting my ability to view Lost through objective eyes at times. I can stretch pretty far to buy into the whole paranormal arc of Lost, but ultimately, sometimes it just stretches me just a bit too far, and that’s when it crosses the line from Sci-fi and into some of the crazier magic elements.
