LOST: This Place is Death. Charlotte Bites it.
While I’m generally enjoying the hell out of Lost this season up to and including this week’s episode This Place is Death, my cynical nature is starting to pick apart all of the things that seem like they could go awry with this show the rest of the year. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not making any past judgment, but understand that I’m a Lost latecomer. I literally watched 4 years of the show in a very short period of time last year to get into this mode. Unfortunately, I kind of started to build my Lost fanaticism during the period where I was really excited about how great the first season of Heroes had been, and that show is a live example of how a show can go down the water closet in very short order.

LOST - The Little Prince or The Pain in the Ass Rugrat?
I guess it’s a necessary evil to the development of the plot that we had to take Claire’s rugrat to the mainland. It was an intriguing plot twist during season 4 as the dirty laundry of the Oceanic Six got aired through the flash forwards. Unfortunately, when you utilize a plot device of that magnitude you’re eventually going to have to face it head on at some point. In other words, we’ve utilized Aaron as device to complicate the lives of Kate and Jack and to provide motivations for those characters to have make certain decisions. But now as we flow into the next stage of this story, we have to deal with the tangible character of the kid without severely complicating the show’s ability to generate action and pacing.

Now that we’re past first couple of hours of season 5 it appears that we’re not going to be splitting focus too often now. Episode 3 of the new season, Jughead, pretty much confines us to the island again and increasingly intriguing story developing amidst our unwilling time travelers. This time they get to spend a day in the company of a Hydrogen Bomb named after a popular character from the Archie Comics.

LOST Season 5 - Jack Off (drugs) and Island Bound
As if we needed any further reason to plant our asses on the couch for additional hour per week, Lost has come back for it’s 5th and penultimate season. The 2 hour premier, made up of two episodes Because You Left and The Lie did supply quite a bang to jump start my enthusiasm for the show again. While I don’t classify Lost as a television program as much as I do “digital crack” I think it managed to fulfill the fix more efficiently than Jack taking a trip to the hospital pharmacy.
