As producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse state in their commentary on LOST’s fifth-season premiere, “We’re doing time travel this year,” and the pile-up of flashbacks and flash-forwards will make even the most dedicated fan dizzy. Ben, Jack, Hurley (Jorge Garcia), Sayid (Naveen Andrews), Sun (Yunjin Kim), and Kate (Evangeline Lilly) arrive to find that Sawyer (Josh Holloway) and Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) have been part of the Dharma Initiative for three years. The writers also clarify the roles that Richard (Nestor Carbonell) and Daniel (Jeremy Davies) play in the island’s master plan, setting the stage for the prophecies of Daniel’s mother, Eloise Hawking (Fionnula Flanagan), to play a bigger part in the sixth and final season.
Many other characters come in and out of the equation, some never to return. A few, such as Jin (Daniel Dae Kim), make an appearance once again this year. Lost, even after five seasons, continues to excite and surprise. As Lindelof and Cuse admit in the commentary, there’s a “fine line between confusion and mystery,” adding, “it makes more sense if you’re drunk.” Other extras include deleted scenes, featurettes, a “lost” episode of Mysteries of the Universe, and commentary from writers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz on “He’s Our You,” a reference to Sayid, who tries to change the future by changing the past.
Lost’s massive story full of plot twists, turns and time shifts in this brilliant fifth season. The DVD comes jam-packed with bonus material, including a revealing interview with the cast and an exclusive behind the scenes feature with Josh. Lost doesn’t get any better than this.
