Homework to prepare for the next episode

Yep, that did say homework. But it's totally fun.

Doc Jensen at Entertainment Weekly is suggesting we rewatch two episodes to prepare ourselves for the next episode.

He says we should watch Tabula Rasa" from season 1, "What Kate Did" from season 2.

Trying to watch all or part of season 5 before the new season airs?

If you have Netflix, you can watch season five on your computer or streaming to your PS3 or BluRay. Actually, all five seasons are available this way.

The same is true for Hulu.com, and it's free there!

Doc Jensen previews the finale

Here's the last Doc Jensen preview of the season. Enjoy.

Since ''LaFleur,'' I have argued that season 5 has been modeled on season 2, and
I believe my theory has held. Season 2's finale, ''Live Together, Die Alone,''
hinged on a Big Picture binary question: Does the button really do anything: Yes
or no? The season 5 finale, ''The Incident,'' hinges on the resolution of a
similar, black-or-white issue: Can the past be changed: Yes or no?

He makes three predictions of the finale. Not spoilers. He's just speculating.

Why does Locke want to murder Jacob?

Why does Eloise Hawking know so much about the castaways' destiny? Is she stuck in a self-aware, open-ended time loop, or does she have flashes of the future à la Ben?

What is the significance of the Ajira storyline?
