Seriously. Shit was epic pretty much all the way through. I got a bit disillusioned with Season 4 at times and felt it dragged its heels too much and was sometimes just being cryptic and making the audience ask questions just for the sake of the "mystery" and not for the overarching story itself.
It was still must-watch-TV and Lost night was always something to look forward to but I know I'm not alone in some of the criticism.
Season 5 on the other hand has been balls to the wall brilliant throughout. Incredibly confusing at times even for those of us who read up and follow more closely which was a big gamble for such a popular mainstream show which has always run the risk of alienating the average fan who would never dream of watching webisodes or reading theories and recaps online and the like.
But it's come together fantastically this season. Outstanding performances from Terry O'Quinn and Michael Emerson and my other stand out actor of the year Josh Holloway who has been brilliant as well.
The next 9 months are going to be painful waiting for the final season and when it comes it's going to be more painful as we move closer and closer to the end of the show. In some ways you don't want the show to end and in others the need to finally have all the pieces in place and to finally "get it" is equally powerful.
One of the Top 5 TV shows of all time? I think so.
