1. Best Resurrection: Death is ever-present on Lost, but we weren’t prepared for two within the first hour. (R.I.P., Juliet!) Efforts to heal a mortally wounded Sayid by bathing him in a sacred pool at The Temple appear to fail. Even super-savior Jack’s CPR ministrations are useless. But in the mind-bending episode’s closing moments, Sayid suddenly bolts upright and asks, “What happened?” We’re kind of wondering the same thing.

2. Lost

Nobody could have predicted what this cult favorite had in store when audiences first met the survivors of Oceanic 815 in 2004. With its fragmented narrative and realistic treatment of unrealistic, supernatural and mind-bending subjects, this character drama has continually shocked and devastated us. Every new episode feels like an event. Here’s hoping the final chapter in the saga will be as satisfying and mind-blowing as the ones that preceded it.

1.Lost

Sure, Lost‘s time-tripping fifth season was the most difficult to follow (at times even we had headaches and nosebleeds), but it also provided many weighty moments for the characters we’ve grown to love. Sawyer took on a leadership role and gave his heart to Juliet; Hurley helped Miles reunite with his long-last father; Jack finally tested the water of being a man of faith; and John Locke is, well, still dead. Throw in the introduction of Jacob and the death of Daniel Faraday, and it’s no wonder why we’re so eagerly anticipating the next and final season.

If anything, last night’s season finale of Lost made two things crystal clear to me: (1) The show is coming to an end pretty soon, finally; and (2) Josh Holloway is definitely the best thing about Lost‘s top-notch acting ensemble. Apropos of both points, then, here’s my question for the guy who plays Sawyer/James/LaFleur: Isn’t it about time you became a big star already, my man? C’mon! Get on with it! The show’s ending, game on!
