Paradoxical and Messy, 24 January 2009
6/10
Author: Claudio Carvalho from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

After a long period without "Lost", in a total lack of respect of the producers with the fans, this cult-series finally returns with a paradoxical and messy episode à la David Lynch. The plot goes backward and forward in time and using ellipsis, and what was only mystery in the previous seasons, now is confusion. For an average viewer like me, that does not spend time researching in Internet or watching the episodes again and again and see other movies and series, it is almost impossible to follow the storyline with such confusion. The writers have never resolved many intriguing situations from the last seasons, and now they seem to be really lost. My vote is six.
