The tagline for Lost's fifth season, "Destiny Found," would more properly be applied to this, the show's sixth and final season. In season five, the characters and the show was plagued with confusion, mystifying questions, and very bad advice (the two worst ideas being the killing of Jacob, and the attempt to change history by blowing up a nuclear bomb). In Lost's sixth year, however, things finally come to a point and the survivors face the reasons they were brought to the Island, while learning more about it itself and its history, mostly the history of Jacob and the smoke monster. Jack finally accepts his destiny, becoming an admirable and mature hero. John Locke is in the end vindicated, even as his memory is deeply dishonored by the series' central antagonist. At times the season falters, such as with the explanation of the Whispers, a central mystery present in the show's background. To me, this was a question that didn't need to be answered. Strange whispers heard in the jungle are more powerful and interesting as mysterious phenomenon than as solved mysteries. And much of the philosophical content of the two mythology-centered episodes, "Ab Aeterno" and "Across the Sea," are illogical at best. Evil is not a positive substance that can be contained or allowed to escape; and different religions that differ from each other in basic and essential ways, that advocate conflicting and opposing paths, cannot lead to the same end. But what show is perfect? the show still shines despite them, giving Lost a very satisfying ending. Lost is a great show because it is one whose mysteries and the answers to those mysteries enrich the experience of watching the show over again. The action and adventure of the series finale, "The End," matches the series' highest points of excitement and thrills and the final revelation of the "Sideways world"'s true nature is an interesting treatment of a challenge that is necessary for every human being to face.
