Lost; TV Update #2

Lost continues its excellent run into its fifth season. As before an area of the island is explored during the season. In the first it was the Oceanic survivors (The Losties), the second was The Hatch, the third it was The Others, the forth it was The Rescuers. And this year it's Time Travel.Each episode is divided into two halves. One concerns The Losties still on the island who are jumping randomly through time.This affords us the oppotunity to see the actual history of previously appeared characters and events.The other half takes place in flash-forwards in events taking place 3 years later where The Losties who escaped The Island and are considering going back.
What keeps this series compulsive viewing is its ability to answer long standing questions (sometimes openly, often subtley if you can work it out) while still present many more intriguing questions.It's a shame this has to end next year and has only 30ish episodes to go. However, the nearer we get to a conclusuion, the more gripping the plots and the tighter the scripts.
