We've been waiting 8 lomg months but tonight is the night - the start of Season 5! Here's how the schedule goes down for tonight:
(all times Eastern USA)
8:00 - 9:00pm --> "LOST Clip Show - Destiny Calls"
Viewers take an in-depth look at the many mysteries of the island and its inhabitants, the lives of the Oceanic 6, the effect of outside influences such as Charles Widmore, as well as the questions that have been answered and those that have not.
9:00pm - 10:00pm --> "Episode 5x01 - Because you left"
The tension resides off-island. How will they get back? Will they all want to go back? Slowly and surely we see these questions being answered, with some new questions popping into their place.
10:00pm - 11:00pm --> "Episode 5x02 - The Lie"
With the premiere having recalibrated us to Lost’s mystical plot frequencies, 5.02 “The Lie” gets us back to more of a ‘character centric’ style. The episode is, in my opinion, a Hurley episode even though all of the plot threads are serviced. The consistency is incredible, reminiscent of season 4 but even more purpose driven. Maybe it is the lack of ‘conventional’ flashbacks-although, there are still a few-making the plot feel more condensed. Maybe it’s just the fact that I haven’t had any Lost in so long, regardless of what it is “The Lie” effectively quickens the pulse of “Because You Left” and ends with a character reveal that is stunning on the level of Sayid working for Ben.
