After a few years pass the Six’s lives spiral into tradgedy and when Locke returns to warn them all, that they must return to the island in order to save it.

Review:
What is not to like about Lost? Season 4 brings us on the suspenseful cusp of the Losties either surviving and getting off the island or being killed. What was deemed to be an exhilarating thought of rescue, (the freighter), turns out to be the opposite of what they were looking for.  It would be too easy to be a simple rescue, and the writer’s of Lost are anything but making it easy for any of the characters on the series. Most interesting of all the new characters has to be Daniel Faraday. His mother, Eloise Hawking, was first amongst the people to inhabit the island (aside of course from Jacob and the Man in Black) and his character seems pivotal in the Losties success at making it off the island.

This season brought us close to the truth and answered a lot of questions we’d be harboring since Season 1.
