The Lost writers begin the season with a firm grasp on their story and a keen understanding that viewers won't object to the introduction of new characters as long as old favorites are well served. Read full review

Alan Sepinwall

The Lost season three finale was no fluke. The show has got its mojo back, and then some. Read full review

Ellen Gray

I still don't know where it's headed, but it feels, finally, as if we could be getting somewhere. Read full review

Matthew Gilbert

So much of the pleasure of Lost is in the way surprise twists arrive completely out of the blue. Read full review

David Hinckley

ABC's dense, unblinking and occasionally surreal tale of plane-crash survivors on a strange tropical island moves into its fourth season Thursday with its compass still in good working order. Read full review

Best show ever made! Absolutely amazing, best acting, storyline, or plot ever. I don't know one thing wrong with the show because it is the best ever.

This show has already made history; it's just a question of how much. "The X-Files" went on for too long and ultimately imploded.

"The X-Files" went on for too long and ultimately imploded. On the other side of the coin, "Babylon 5" set a five-season goal from the beginning for its storyline, but the realities of network television dealt it some nasty blows. In the end, neither show reached its considerable potential. The creators of "Lost" are on fire in S4, which is easily the best since S1 -- possibly better. Agreeing with ABC on an end date was a smart move. This series is moving in for the kill, and I'm confident despite myself that it will get there.… Expand

I just want to say that A. L.'s review is ridiculous. You say the actors have no real health problems. That's crazy. First off if you watched the shows you would know that the island has healing powers. Also, people still do have health problems occasionally. Why do you think Jack I just want to say that A.

Although still gripping season four just doesn't have writing that is on par with the other seasons. It focuses too much on the mystery of the island and not as much on surviving and the characters themselves. Despite being good that definitely makes it weaker.

This is one of the few shows out there that amazes me with its popularity.

I generally agree with what the critics have to say but not on this one. Some of the few things that bother me - the acting or if you can call it that, the total lack of realism (the actors seem to have no real health problems at all!), how many people are there on the island now - ten thousand? PS. have they discovered any UFOs on the island yet, or at least have they invented time travel (some call it surreal, I call it unrealistic or even stupid)?… Expand
