****1/2 – A lot of TV shows hint at lengthy and complex mythologies and back stories, but never get around to showing details of these back stories. After several seasons of foreshadowing (or is it backshadowing?) and showing bits and remnants of things like the Dharma Initiative, Rousseau’s team, Jacob, and other past happenings, Season 5 of ‘LOST’ finally goes in-depth into a large chunk of its mythology. While, like pretty much every season of ‘LOST’, there are parts of this that focus on stupid stuff (romantic subplots, Hurley’s family, Sun, etc.) the good far outweighs the bad here. This is probably the best season since the first.
