The 'Lost' Finale. There were three reasons to watch “Lost” — or to stick with it, more aptly, across six immensely engrossing and immensely frustrating seasons. You could watch for the characters, who were two-dimensional and archetypal in a way, but rich and relatable and even lovable in the way that great pulp casts can sometimes be.

You could watch for the thrill of it — the endless cliffhangers, the constant narrative whiplash, the mobius-strip plotting, and the way the show could blithely disassemble and reassemble its narrative architecture (flashbacks followed by flashforwards! Flashforwards followed by time travel!) And somehow have the whole thing work. And of course, you could watch for the macro-plot — the mythology of a mysterious island, which layered puzzle atop riddle atop intrigue like no show since “The X-Files,” promising all the while (or seeming to promise, at least) to be building up to a revelatory denouement. “Guys, where are we?” Is Lost the Best TV Show Ever? - TV Feature at IGN. Lost came to an end, it came full circle, and it did so by either making legions of faithful fans very happy, or very cringe face at six seasons spent on the Island of Button-Pushin', Donkey-Wheelin' Smoke Monsters just to end up with our Flight 815 principles going off into the big white light.

As polarizing as the series finale seems to be, there is no question that, overall, Lost broke new ground in the realm of network television. To those that said you can't do serialized television for the Wonder Bread set - Lost gave naysayers six seasons of "don't tell me what I can't do. " For those who bet an entire shipment of DHARMA food drops on sci-fi and drama and extraordinary stakes grounded with "real" characters not able to work, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse said "Time traveling islands - boom! " and dropped the mic. Equal parts rewarding and confusing, emotionally satisfying and outright migraine inducing, Lost became one of the best shows ever made. Phil Pirrello, IGN Stars. Ranking Lost - TV Feature at IGN. And no, they weren't "dead the whole time! " By IGN StaffIt's hard to believe it's been 10 years since Oceanic Airlines Flight 815 split apart and crashed landed on a mysterious island filled with smoke monsters, glowing caves, and hippie science installations.

And so in honor of this Lostiversary -- Yes, the first episode aired on September 22nd, 2004 -- here's our ranking of every episode of the show, including the very best and the not-so-great. Blowing up submarines; turning an icy donkey wheel in order to move an entire island; outrunning smoky manifestations of evil; freaky time travel... We look back at six seasons of fascinating television - along with an ending that was, to say the least, polarizing. Stranger in a Strange Land (Season 3) Tricia Tanaka is Dead (Season 3) Is there a better metaphor that Lost was running in circles at this point in Season 3 than seeing several of the castaways driving in circles on the island, with goofy grins on their faces?

The Campus Socialite » Holy Lost! – Connecting with Season 6, Episode 11: “Happily Ever After” By: mos jef We’re getting there. Maybe. We’re at least getting to the point where I can stop telling people, “Nah man, I can’t get [drinks, Boston Market creamed spinach, nitrous, etc] tonight. It’s Tuesday.” I mean at least in 5 weeks I’ll be able to pull a Jim Carrey and say “yes” to everything. I vow that every offer that comes my way, when this is all over, for a Tuesday night — I will say yes. Quote of the episode: “I know when it’s scheduled!” Let me start by painting you this little picture.

For some reason the chair in the little magnetic field chamber reminded me of the chair in Jacob’s shack… As soon as Widmore said his son, I prayed that Faraday would have a limited role in the episode. Ok. Sound familiar? We’ve all come to the conclusion that these side-flashes represent a different life for our survivors. Like Rose. “Lost”: Desmond’s “Happily Ever After” | A+E Interactive. Wow! … No, I really mean it: Wow!! I have always found the “Lost” episodes pegged to Desmond to be some of the most engaging the show has produced through the years, and last night’s “Happily Ever After” proved to be no exception.

Best hour of the season. By far. From the opening scenes in which Widmore horrifies Desmond by informing him, “I’ve brought you back to the island” (for a wicked experiment, no less), through the tense flash-sideways sequences involving Charlie, Eloise and Daniel, and all the way up to Desmond meeting Penny (Be still, my heart) on the stadium steps, this episode had me in its grips — my heart pounding and my jaw dropping the entire way. Epic. What I think fueled the excitement — besides all the fun callbacks, juicy twists, surprising reveals and a remarkable performance by Henry Ian Cusick — was the sense of forward progress. Ah, but to paraphrase Widmore, “The island isn’t done with us yet.” What did you think about last night’s episode?

Things We Could Have Done Instead of Watching 'Lost' While there's a lot of talk about whether spending all these years watching 'Lost' will have been worth it (it will), one thing is certain: It took a long, long time to get here. With 121.5 episodes (the finale's two-and-a-half hours) at about 42 minutes a pop (on DVD, arguably the best way to watch), we'll have spent 5,103 minutes, or 85 hours, watching the always-mystifying, often-infuriating series.

What else could we have done in the time it took to watch 'Lost,' and how many times? All your questions answered, after the jump. (And enjoy the finale!) We could have... • Flown the ill-fated path of Oceanic 815 (the 13-hour, 20-minute journey from Sydney, Australia, to Los Angeles) six times. • Watched the 'Back to the Future' saga (5 hours, 42 minutes) 15 times. • Muttered the mysterious 'Lost' numbers, "4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42" (2.5 seconds each), 117,761 times. • Served Nicole Richie's 82-minute jail sentence62 times. • Done a three-and-a-half-day walkabout in the Australian Outback.

One black, one white. " That's from the pilot, and it perfectly describes the entire sixth season. That's one point for the "not making it up" team. The ball's in your court. @n3onkn1ght: Two black one white?

What, like good vs. evil? I'm sure they had an idea of what was going to happen, but one of the producers himself mentioned that the Dharma Initiative wasn't even thought of until they began plotting the second season (after the first had aired). From the Season 3 episode Catch 22 to the season 5 finale (including some earlier mythology rich and Desmond/Jack/Locke/Sawyer centric episodes from the beginnings of seasons 1 and 2) it's my favorite show on television. @n3onkn1ght: Also the fact that the stones were with MIB's corpse in S1.
