Review: Lost Season 5 Premiere
One of the best series on television today has to be Lost. The series finally premiered its fifth season last night on ABC, and anybody that watched the episode last night know that it is now an all new ball game. The series has changed things in regards to the island. When Ben turned the wheel in the last episode of season, he started a process that opened a door between time. The island is now jumping back and forth in time, and those still on the island are along for the ride.
They jump into the past before they crashed on the island and destroyed the hatch to a time when they are already on the island. They are able to see people that have already died or left the island. Desmond and is still guarding over the hatch in one time, and big bad evil Ethan is still alive. Those that were on the island during the event are confused. It even looks like they don’t remember some things that have happened. Sawyer doesn’t seem to know Daniel at all at some points.
He is the only one that seems to understand just what the hell is going on with the island, but we all know getting people, meaning Sawyer, to listen is a task. He is dealing with the fact that Kate and the others on the helicopter died when the freighter went down. That is what he thinks. We know differently. The Oceanic 6, plus a few, left the island, and Ben is currently trying to get them to return before all hell breaks loose. We don’t know what will happen, but it sounds bad whatever it is.
It could even mean the end of the world. Ben first get Jack on his side. Sayid goes to Hurley, and in the process he kills three men. One while trying to break Hurley out of the mental ward, and two more that attack the two of them. People put these deaths on Hurley’s shoulders. This makes him and Sayid both fugitives, and they spend the episode on the run. Sayid finally gets into Jack’s hands, but when Ben tries to make contact with Hurley the man is less than willing to work with Ben. He actually ends up turning himself into the police.
Kate is also dealing with issues after a lawyer comes to have blood and tests down on Aaron. This puts her on the run. Sun is also a changed woman when she visits with Kate. She is trying to make a deal with Charles Widmore. To me, Sun is probably the most changed character over this series. The Oceanic Six, and whoever else, left the island, need to return to it, but it seems that won’t be an easy task. We will have to see what happens next week. What did you think of the season premiere of Lost?
