Watch the entire season before you make a judgement

The creators of Lost definitely know what they're doing. On my original viewing of season 3 I was worried that they may have been losing focus, as the the stories seemed less connected and relevant to the show than the first two seasons. Some weeks would be really enjoyable and enthralling, while others, while still good, just didn't really impress me. As the season reached a close I had some doubts as to how they would tie up everything while still leaving enough unanswered to draw me back in for season 4.

Then the season finale came, and everything made sense. Viewed as a whole, season 3 really delivered. Of all the shows I have watched this is definitely one where you have the judge each season after it's over because the creators definitely know what they're doing. Each episode seemed different in hindsight because I could now see how everything was leading up to the end of the season. As for the season finale, it delivered one of the biggest shocks I have ever gotten while watching a television program.

So, if you gave up during season 3 I strongly recommend you give it another chance. There's still time to catch up before season 4 starts in February.

Lost season 3

After a Slow Start, the Season Restores My Faith in the Show

As season two of the show ended, the "Others" had capture Jack (Matthew Fox), Sawyer (Josh Holloway), and Kate (Evangeline Lilly). While they keep Jack isolated from his friends, they force Sawyer and Kate to work for them, keeping them locked in cages at night. But they soon tell Jack what they want from him. Their leader Ben (Michael Emerson) has a tumor, and they want Jack to remove it.

Meanwhile, back at the beach camp, the rest of the survivors of flight 815 are recovering from the explosion of the hatch. Desmond (Henry Ian Cusick) lost all his clothes when things went boom, but he seems to have gained a new power. Hurly (Jorge Garcia) returns with news of the capture of Jack, Sawyer, and Kate, and various parties set out to rescue them. But this season has plenty of surprises in store for the castaways. What will they learn next?

This season can pretty much be divided into two parts. The first part was slow, with the story only moving forward at a snail's pace. After it return from its hiatus, the pace improved dramatically. I'm not sure that we got that many answers, but I at least feel that the story moved forward. What these revelations mean to the show and the cast aways remains to be seen, but I am once again confident that the show will bring us resolution.

And that leaves out the cliffhanger ending. That had to be one of the best shocks of the season. I never saw it coming, and it left my mouth hanging open. Yes, it truly was a rattlesnake in a mailbox.

This set will certainly wet your appetite for season 4 (and hopefully we'll get that sooner rather then later). If you want to get caught up in a show with plenty of twists and mysteries, get Lost.
