Blowing up submarines; turning an icy donkey wheel in order to move an entire island; outrunning smoky manifestations of evil; freaky time travel... We look back at six seasons of fascinating television - along with an ending that was, to say the least, polarizing. Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse as the one they used to back their argument to ABC that an end date needed to be decided upon for Lost , so they knew they could begin moving forward with certain plot points they had been holding back from; having no idea how many more years the show would run.The flashbacks had been a fascinating element of Lost initially, but by Season 3, we had learned all we could from them in terms of explaining who our main characters were before the island – and there's no better example of that then seeing an episode wasting our time explaining how Jack got his freaking tattoos. Pointless and boring, "Stranger in a Strange Land" is the result of a show clearly at a standstill during this period.The fact that so little happens on the island either during this hour (We're on the ninth episode of Jack as Ben's prisoner; while Kate and Sawyer sloooowly make their way back to the camp, three episodes after their escape from Ben began) only underscores this fact. Hurley sets about fixing up – would later be used in much cooler ways both in flashbacks and in the present. But with a dull story on the island and flashbacks weakly giving Hurley the requisite daddy issues so many of the other characters already had, it was clear Lost needed to make a big change soon to recapture what was special about the show. Thankfully, they did…Meanwhile, very shortly after " In Translation ", we get an extremely similar and redundant story about someone sabotaging Michael's plan to leave on the raft - down to a similar conclusion involving someone doing it out of a misguided sense of showing their love. Charlie anymore, and this episode is a huge example of that issue. On the Island, we're treated to "Dark" Charlie, as he obsessively keeps trying to take Aaron , feeling the baby must be baptized. Charlie comes off as utterly pathetic and unlikeable and the most satisfying scene in the episode is Locke beating the hell out of him.With it now hammered home that Charlie is a heroin addict, the flashbacks -- showing how he really, really tried to help his brother, before becoming a total addict himself -- are hardly illuminating or necessary at this point. Thankfully, Season 3 gave Charlie a much better storyline to end his story on. Shannon and Boone Banged."There weren't many enthralled by these two siblings (here, revealed as step-siblings, to make their night of lust slightly less creepy), so it was hard to be excited for an episode focusing on them. And the trouble is, if it weren't for the sex, there really wouldn't be anything of interest beyond that. Locke helps Boone get over his obsession with Shannon, but who cares? Not to mention, it's not like that would really matter much in the long term for these characters. Meanwhile, everyone keeps forgetting to care that Claire has been kidnapped! Miles . He's a fun, enjoyable character, sure, but he got sidelined a lot of the time and the one and only episode focused on the guy is a disappointment. Having daddy issues be the root of Miles' problems felt really lazy at this point, since the show had dealt with this topic so much, and it was given a very quick, easy resolution.Plus, us being the geeks that we are, we have to fault any episode that involves Hurley thinking he can improve upon Empire Strikes Back. Hurley, dude… Empire is perfect! Jacob and the Man in Black had become increasingly important in the final year of Lost, and it had been exciting to see Jacob explain what the island and his own function was in " Ab Aeterno ", in terms of stopping the evil the Man in Black represented from ever escaping. But "Across the Sea" fulfilled what some fans had hoped for by much more directly showing the origin of these two characters, and in the process delivering a decidedly weak, ill-timed episode.Elements introduced here, like Mother and The Light, only raised more questions we'd never get concrete answers on, while making mysterious elements of the show seem pretty silly when made so literal. Plus, with so few hours left of Lost, this felt like wasted time we could have been spending with the main characters we loved.Meanwhile, we do pick up with Sayid Sun and Jin , but it's really only for yet another "Sun and Jin have had a lot of big issues in their marriage" flashback – a topic we were well familiar with at this point.The reveal that "Dave" never really existed is okay, but ultimately amounts to little – and makes his appearances on the island throughout the episode mean even less.For one thing, it's right after Claire has been kidnapped, but all the tension is quickly deflated – we don't feel any of the urgency we should, and the characters all seem to be remarkably calm (and to not really care about Claire!) considering the situation. Plus, this is also the episode that began the less than thrilling Sayid / Shannon romance. Kate's obsession on and off the island with what turns out to be a toy plane is one of those "huh" reveals that was hard to be excited by without any context.While there are some interesting moments involving Jack here – including his willingness to swallow the pill Dogen means for Sayid to take – this is easily the weakest of the Flash-Sideways stories during Season 6. Despite the title, Kate doesn't actually do very much at all, and the differences between her original off-island life and the one we see here aren't nearly as interesting or notable as almost every other character. Ethan Rom was not on the plane! – but what proceeds it is pretty ho hum.The attempts by Charlie to woo Claire feel forced at this point (they had warmer moments before and after), and the flashbacks to Claire's pregnancy involve a rather stereotypically a-hole boyfriend character. House of the Rising Sun " earlier in the season to set up a lot of their dynamic, it's also hard not to notice that very little happens to move the story forward here – in fact, we get a literal setback, as the raft is set on fire.The most notable element from this episode is probably the uncharacteristic image of Sun in a bikini - which led to its own Lost action figure.The ambitious Jin leaves his fishing village and gets a job as a doorman at a fancy hotel where he's instructed not to let in riff-raff like himself. But we don't really get to the part where Sun and Jin fall in love; we just get them bumping into each other. Meanwhile, back on the Island, Sun loses her wedding ring and Michael heads off on his own to find Waaaaaalt!Oh, but then Michael decides to not go after Walt by himself and rejoins Sawyer, Jin and the Tailies. Sigh... Rose and Bernard is enough to make you want to swallow a Medusa Spider.Bernard's quest to cure Rose's cancer was admirable, but it almost wasn't worth it when you consider how much you doubt these two would have ever fallen in love with each other given their respective "hen pecking." Back on The Island, Bernard tries to make an S.O.S sign on the beach, and Michael returns to the fold.Hurley's choice was to let everyone gorge themselves in one night of pagan gluttony; despite the fact that there's not much out there less appetizing that a giant vat of industrialized ranch-flavored glop. Back in his "flashback", Hurley wins the lottery and doesn't want things to change between him and his loser friend from the Chicken Shack. This episode was near the beginning of Season 2 and our interest in the mystery that was "The Hatch" was wearing thin.The purpose of the backstory really was to make the revelation that Sun is now pregnant on The Island shocking. But this was an island that had already completely un-paralyzed John Locke. This was hardly a miracle, even by Jon & Kate Plus 8 standards. Sun is secretly unsure about who the father is, but tells Jin that she's been with no other man. Later on, she'll find out that Jin really is the dad... which means that she must have slept with him when they'd just gotten to the Island and he was being a total a-hole. Juliet , and for Jack to realize that he, sometimes, had to give up control. It was setting us up for a romance that never took place, as Juliet was initially brought in to be "the other woman."In the "flash forwards", we found out that Jack was unable to deal with his happy life in a relationship with Kate and being a surrogate father to Aaron because he was, well, Jack. He starts to drink because he finds out that Kate has a "Sawyer secret" and he can't deal with the competition… even though he's already watched the two of them have sex AND Sawyer's far, far away, trapped back on The Island.It's nothing against the specific performance from Emilie de Ravin; it's just that the character is specifically designed to create moments of weakness for a group trying to survive in harsh conditions.In this episode, Claire and Kate discover the DHARMA "Staff" station and take a looksy around. Libby helps Claire remember her brainwashed moments with Ethan. Zzzzzz.
