The fifth season of Lost is really solid, and yet it feels a bit disjointed with things happening at different points in time and location, and different groups coming together and parting.
Episodes That I Liked
Four of the EPs were first-rate in my view, including E01, E08 and E11 all dealing with time travel issues. However, I think E06, the second flight 316, has one of the single best lines in the entire series — “Wait a second, we’re not going to Guam, are we?” (see photo below).
Another nine EPs were so good that I rated them 4/5, for a total of 13/17 episodes for the season being 4 or 5/5. That’s pretty impressive, even without a hydrogen bomb or a wandering Jacob.
Episodes That Were Watchable
Two episodes, The Little Prince (E04) and Namaste (E09) were ho-hum, with lots of people coming together and a lot of back-story.
Episodes That I Didn’t Like
E13, Some Like It Hoth, a direct ref to The Empire Strikes Back has Miles meeting his father and generally speaking, it’s pretty cliché. Equally, E16, The Incident Pt 1 is mostly just simple set-up for the last episode of the season.
