Lost Review 5.11 - 'Whatever Happened Happened' Part 1 - Featured
Not long to go until the finale of the season so I feel this week the writers almost let us catch our breath before the triumphant finish to the roller-coaster ride that is season 5 of Lost. Some of you may not feel this, but I thought last night'...

Lost Review 5.11 - 'Whatever Happened Happened' Part 2
Very good time-travel explaining in this episode as well. The scenes between Hurley and Miles are comedic but also telling us the theory of time-travel in the Lost style. First of all we have Hurley looking at his hand waiting for it to disappear ...

Recap: "Whatever Happened, Happened"
Namaste, y'all! Wednesday's episode of Lost was about truth-telling. It was bound to happen. One of the Oceanic 6 had to crack. But who knew it would be truth-challenged Kate? In 1977, she is motivated by her newfound maternal instincts to save th...

Lost 5.14: "The Variable" (Part II)
Daniel's story, and his apparently futile efforts to change history, demonstrate the strict rules of time travel in the "Lost" universe. Whatever happened, happened. That's why the series is like a puzzle; the pieces all eventually fit together ...

Lost 5.1: "Because You Left"
The writers have definitely taken the gloves off, and this new format allows them to arrange the pieces of the puzzle in whatever order they see fit. This helps to keep the audience guessing, because those external factors need to make up for a s...

Lost 5.3: "Jughead"
This episode is more aligned with "The Lie" in terms of structure and style, and that works to its advantage. The name of the game is still revelation and resolution, but the writers are obviously still trying to ensure that the characters are th...
