Need a season 5 recap?

Bone up on last season before the new episodes begin next year.

Yeah, it's still kind of far off, but Season 6 will be here soon. I hope.

Doc Jensen at Entertainment Weekly gives us the nutshell for each episode and gives them grades.

Do you agree or disagree with his marks?

Spoilers for what's to come in season 5

Michael Ausiellio over at Entertainment Weekly has been reporting for some time that we're to expect a major death and a majorish death.

Well, now that he knows the majorish death, he says it's less ish that he thought.

Casting for season five

Michael Ausiellio and Doc Jensen at Entertainment Weekly have some tidbits and speculation about roles that will be cast for season five:

Ausiellio: Phil's an ogre who works in corporate security, Jerry's his party-boy colleague, and the doctor is, um, a hippieish doctor who finds himself in a sitch for which no internship could've prepared him.

Doc Jensen's says: "Phil and Jerry work in 'corporate security,' huh? And the doctor is 'hippieish'? My guess: Flashback to the Purge. Phil and Jerry are Dharma footsoldiers, charged with protecting the weird science enclave from 'the hostiles'/'the Others.' Of course, we know they will fail miserably, as Turncoat Ben helped gas the village. Perhaps the 'situation outside of his medical experience' that the doctor finds himself in is racing against time to save his fellow peeps from exposure to the gas."

Dissecting the season five teaser

You've seen the season five teaser. But have you dissected it for meaning?

Never fear, it's been done for you. It's a second by second play by play.

SPOILERS: season five scoopage

Doc Jensen at Entertainment Weekly provides what's happening when season 5 returns.

I won't post most of the details to save those who hate spoilers. You'll have to check out his column for that.

But here's a few tidbits.

1. Episode 5.01 will be called The Bridge. (See that's not too much info)
2. It's actually not. Doc Jensen made it up. (WTF?)
3. The real title is Because You Left, which Losties Island has already reported.

Really, Doc Jensen's column is kind of odd. But worth reading for the tidbits.
