LOST Review: The Incident, Season 5 Finale
Posted by David Torres Categories: Prime Time, ABC, Lost,
Well, the season finale of Lost is finally here and now the wait begins for the final season next year. So what happened? A lot! But before we get to that, I would like to rate this season finale up against previous Lost season finales. I wouldn’t say it was the best out of all the season finales we’ve seen from this show. I think “Through the Looking Glass,” which was the season finale of season three, is hands down the best the show has ever done. Still this episode was very good and gave viewers a major revelation that we’ve been wondering about for some time. By the end of this episode, the question all of us will be asking is where do we go from here? How will the story continue? How much has changed? Let the speculation begin, but first a more detailed review of season five’s two-part finale “The Incident.”
Spoilers…..........................................................

Lost: The Man Behind the Curtain - David’s Top Five of Awesomeness

Another week, another very cool and dark episode of Lost. Perhaps the greatest accomplishment of this episode is that it redeemed, be it ever so slightly, the miserable mess that was Tricia Tanka is Dead (or something close to that; I’m so annoyed with that episode I don’t even want to go look it up) by showing us that Roger Workman is really Ben’s father. It was a creepy episode, with thankfully lots of Locke and Ben, and, of course, lots of awesome things. Shall I name 5?
It’s Still Super Dark - Last week was a very dark episode, not just dark for Lost, but dark for prime time network TV in general. Now, true, I don’t watch the approximately eight million television shows that deal with an elite group of crime fighting professionals that set out to stop a surprising number of serial killers, so I can’t say for sure that Lost is the darkest show on TV,
however, this week’s episode started with a woman dying in childbirth, featured a father who told his son (the young, Harry Potter-ish Ben) that this was Ben’s fault, and went on to include a father killing his son, a foreboding cabin in the woods, the death of several people at once in a “purge,” and, finally, a mass grave.
ABC’s owned by Disney. Just to remind you. The fact that Disney’s allowing this kind of darkness, that’s pretty awesome.
Ben’s “Psycho” - No, I’m not saying that Benjamin Linus is psychotic; I’m saying that in Jacob’s cabin he was doing quite a reenactment of Anthony Perkins talking to his “mother” in the movie Psycho. But this was something different and equally as spooky. He was utterly convincing, I mean, he really seemed to believe somebody was there. Is Ben crazy? Well, that’s possible. Somebody who’s been on that island for so long, never knew his mother, killed his father ... would you really be surprised if a guy like that snapped? Is Ben lying? Well, that’s possible too. Ben’s been lying since we met him, strung up in one of Rousseau’s traps. He could have easily staged this elaborate ruse of Jacob’s cabin in order to scare Locke or anybody else who questions Ben back into submission. From the moment Ben brought Locke into that cabin until the poltergeist-like barrage that sent both of them running out, that was a supremely creepy scene. In a word: awesome.
