  2. Episode 21 Greatest Hits

  3. Episode 11 Cabin Fever
    Lost: Locke, This Is Your Life As soon as we understood this episode was a Locke backstory, we felt preemptively distressed. After all, the man’s history is all retro humiliations and “Don’t tell me what to do.”
  4. Episode 10 Something Nice Back Home
    Lost: Guess Who’s Dead! We’ll admit this was a decent episode, if only because it made us care about the whole Jack/Kate thing, and not just what their hair looks like.
  5. Episode 9 The Shape of Things to Come
    Lost: Die Hard on an Island Whoa! Seems like the ‘Lost’ writers’ room got awfully itchy during the strike, and when they got back all they wanted to do was blow some stuff up.

    Lost: Not Yet! Damon Lindelof, you’re killing us with these sad episodes! And apparently, you’re also intent on killing Michael.

  8. Episode 6 The Other Woman
    Lost: Wherefore Art Thou, Juliet? Even on the island of lying liars, Juliet stands out, with her unique combination of sad doe eyes and icy Kabuki gaze.
  9. Episode 5 The Constant
    Lost: Answers! No, Sorry, Time Travel! Wow! We’re gonna need a bigger chronological structure.
  10. Episode 4 Eggtown
    Lost: Kate, Baby Thief! It’s clearer than ever that the survivors who survived did a bad, bad thing!
  11. Episode 3 The Economist
    Lost: Sayid and His Enormous, Sad Biceps Being one of the Oceanic Six can get you laid in any coffee shop in Europe.
  12. Episode 2 Confirmed Dead
    Lost: What’s the Deal With These New Guys? This episode would have rocked our world even if it didn’t feature the comedic stylings of Jeremy Davies, a.k.a. the Twitchiest Actor on Earth.
  13. Episode 1 The Beginning of the End
    Lost: We’re Pretty Sure We Have It All Figured Out Awwww, the very first episode of the season, and it centers around Hurley, the survivor with the biggest heart and the biggest (and most improbable) gut!

    Lost: So Faraday (Doesn’t Anybody Stay in One Place Anymore?) For those who worry that ‘Lost’ has too many bad dads, this ep is for you.
  4. Episode 13 Some Like It Hoth
    Lost: Miles to Go Before We Sleep This Miles-centric episode focused mainly on daddy issues, ‘Star Wars’ analogies, and fart jokes. Yes, fart jokes.

    Lost: Smoke ’Em If You Got ’Em Ben’s not much of a hero, but he can babysit anytime.

    Lost: Veronica Freckles, Dr. Betty, and Jughead Linus Kate, Juliet, and Boy Ben set the future in motion.
  7. Episode 10 He’s Our You
    Lost: Shot Through the Heart, But You’re Too Late… Intra-Dharmite color, sparkly dialogue, psychedelic torture, only a dash of Kate, plus the most insane ending since they jumped off the Island.
  8. Episode 9 Namaste
    Lost: Why So Hostile? Show, you are so strange and inconsistent, why do we love you? Clearly you are our wonderful, awful Kate.
  9. Episode 8 LaFleur
    Lost: Sawyered! This was basically our dream episode, full of spooning, miracle births, Alpert eyeliner jokes, and four-toed statues!
  10. Episode 7 The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham
    Lost: Picking Locke John Locke, best (and most original) character on the show, light of our life, fire of our loins, anti-hero of our favorite episodes!
  11. Episode 6 316
    Lost: Jack Don’t Know Jack We return to the Island with strategic narrative slices removed just to mess with our heads.
