8.4/10
This episode shines with its thematic storytelling, using Shannon’s flashbacks to mirror her present struggles. The way Lost connects its character’s past experiences with their actions on the island has always been one of its strengths, and here, it reinforces Shannon’s desire to be heard—both in her life before the crash and now, as she desperately tries to make sense of what she’s seeing. It’s a clever narrative choice that deepens her character just as things take a tragic turn.
The episode also raises some serious questions about Walt. His eerie presence at the end was unsettling, adding another layer to the growing supernatural elements of the show. What exactly is happening to him? Why does he appear so distorted and strange? Lost knows how to drip-feed its mysteries, and this moment only adds to the intrigue.
On the other side of the island, Ana Lucia’s group proves to be a capable bunch, though Ana herself is coming across as overly harsh. Her bluntness makes her stand out, but there’s room for growth if she can soften and connect with those around her. Given how the show handles character arcs, there’s a good chance she’ll become more than just a tough leader.
Charlie continues to be a wild card—his weird, impulsive decision to kiss Aaron was both uncomfortable and bizarre, making his character even more unpredictable. He’s frustrating but undeniably entertaining.
The ending was a true gut punch—though it would’ve hit even harder if it hadn’t been spoiled for me 10 minutes beforehand by a Serialzd review with no spoiler warning 😭 . Still, Lost delivers another gripping episode that blends character depth with shocking twists, keeping the show as unpredictable as ever.
