Lost – Season 6 (TVR00023) – 🐸🐸🐸🐸⚪

The PolyBlog
March 29 2021

Overview

The final season was not the strongest of the six, although Desmond gets some serious and welcome airtime. The candidate vs. Jacob, and all the other history stuff for the island, and Locke 2.0, are all complicated and convoluted in places. All of which leads to a less-than-satisfying ending to the series.

Episodes That I Liked

One of my favourite episodes of the series is this season, E11, Happily Ever After, and it is about Desmond getting to see multiple possible outcomes. It’s really well done, and I generally love Desmond in the series, this EP, and even E16 and E17 of this season (although I only rated them 4/5). E02, LA X Pt 2 was all about Sayid, where they’re trying to help him by almost drowning him. Like he was a witch or something.

Another eight episodes, I rated as 4/5, including the season premiere in LA and dealing with the loss of John Locke; introducing a lighthouse and a family member (E05); the long history of the island back in medieval times (E09) and the choice of immortality for Jacob; and a big decision for the main characters about the future of island defence.

Episodes That Were Watchable

Five more EPs were watchable, including Kate helping Claire in the alt-world (E03); Sawyer playing puppetmaster (E08); finding Jin (E10); and the final EP which was a let-down overall.

S06E18 The End Pt 2 All good things come to an end 🐸🐸🐸⚪⚪ – 3
S06E04 The Substitute You have three choices: 1. Do nothing; 2. Protect the island; 3. Leave 🐸🐸⚪⚪⚪ – 2
S06E06 Sundown Jacob drives a hard bargain and so does Locke 2.0 🐸🐸⚪⚪⚪ – 2
S06E07 Dr. Linus Ben makes a different choice off-island 🐸🐸⚪⚪⚪ – 2

Episodes That I Didn’t Like

While the overall season was still decent, I found three EPs were disappointing. All of them were about choices about the island, decisions with Jacob or Locke, or Ben, and most of them I really didn’t care about (E04, E06, E07).

All good things come to an end, not necessarily a good end or well.

Lost – Season 5 (TVR00022) – 🐸🐸🐸🐸⚪

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.

Lost – Season 4 (TVR00021) – 🐸🐸🐸🐸⚪

The season starts with the supposed rescue team arriving on the island but the extra members beyond the soldiers are not quite what everyone expected. Later in the season, you see a press conference where everyone has to lie.

Lost – Season 3 (TVR00020) – 🐸🐸🐸🐸⚪

While the first two seasons were watchable, I felt the show really hit its stride this season, with the third best season of the series.

Lost – Season 2 (TVR00019) – 🐸🐸🐸⚪⚪

The PolyBlog
November 12 2020

Overall, I would say that there are a lot of storylines going in the season, and not all of them work. A few — like looking for Michael — go nowhere. It is almost like the writers sent people out looking, only to change their mind about where the narrative was going to go. Others were just dead ends. The hatch is interesting, but it takes a LONG time for anything with it to really develop. And I find it really hard to believe everyone knows about the hatch and all of them don’t immediately want to go there or move down there? Even during a torrential rain? Mind-boggling.
