#LOST SEASON 2 EPISODE 8 SERIES#

So, why do it? Why take this frozen donkey wheel for another spin? Why rank every Lost episode at all, if my rankings will internally and inevitably change shortly after I push the publish button, thankfully not every 108 minutes? I suppose itвЂ™s as the islandвЂ™s wise protector once said: вЂњIt only ends once.

My feelings on Lost, while always positive (bad Lost is better than no Lost), are ultimately a lot like the seriesвЂ™ villain: amorphous and susceptible to changing shape. IвЂ™m sure the results will change again 15 minutes from now. Fifteen years on (a more notable number in the Lost pantheon, I might add) and IвЂ™m doing it again, with some different results this time out. And yet, here we are! Five years ago, I ranked every episode of Lost in honor of the Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse dramaвЂ™s 10-year anniversary. Ranking each episode of Lost, sorting them into numerical hierarchy over one another, however? It may indeed be as foolish an exercise as trying to delicately wrap baking hot dynamite in the middle of the jungle without blowing up. The Others, of course, are friends to none, one of their surnames notwithstanding.ДЄmong the many lessons it imparted over its run, Lost established that numbers may be reductive but are certainly not arbitrary. The DHARMA Initiative and the Smoke Monster are new discoveries for some, and old friends for others. WhatвЂ™s more, in the binge-mode streaming era, new viewers are flocking to Lost like moths to the Flame.

Given recent television events, it may no longer boast the most controversial ending for a popular series in modern memory. Fifteen years past its premiere date and nearly a decade after its final installment, the ABC island drama maintains an electromagnetic hold over those who come across it, with countless imitators and would-be successors rising in its wake.
