Lost season 5 episode 9 review and theories

So guys, it’s been a while. Sorry about the lack of Lost analysis. I’ve been off abroad visiting family and catching up with uni. But most importantly to all of you, I’m totally caught up with Lost! And yeah, it’s been an awesome season so far… (Arguable high point: LaFleur, with The Little Prince a close runner-up. Agree/disagree?) Just a shame we’re over the halfway mark now. In a month and a half, we’ll be seventeen or so episodes away from the end, and seeing how hard both The Wire and Battlestar Galactica’s finales have – and in BSG’s case, will - hit me… ooft, I don’t even want to think about it. Traumatic.

Right then, Namaste. It was a super-solid episode last night, all about placing all the characters in the right places for upcoming episodes more than anything else. It wasn’t really a character-centric episode, but seeing just how much setup we had to cover this week, it wasn’t really a problem at all. And somehow, it simultaneously managed to be both the tensest and the most amusing episode in a while! Example: the Left Behinders’ and the Oceanic 6ers’ slack-jawed reactions to all the crazy they were having to deal with – best bit was when Sayid, usually the most certain character on the show, gave this look of utter flabbergastion* upon being held at gunpoint by Jin. Priceless.

Okay, let’s dive into what we can take from this episode
