I'm a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it.
I love Lost, dunno if I can pick out my favorite episodes though. I'd have to say the one that finally explains Richard Alpert's history is one of my favorites. That guy always picked at my brain as to his purpose, and it felt like a relief that they explained it instead of letting it remain a mystery. That and Adam n Eve explained.
The Richard backstory and the Adam and Eve explanation are in two different episodes, but I see why you'd confuse them for one, because they both dealt with the past of Jacob and the Man in Black. The Richard episode is Ab Aeterno, which I included on my list, and the Adam and Eve episode is Across the Sea, which I thought happened at a very inopportune time in the final season. It aired immediately after The Candidate...three main characters had just died, Locke was on a rampage...the suspense had been built up, only for Across the Sea to step in. I think it would have fared better earlier in the season.

I think Across the Sea had to be where it was because we needed that perspective on Jacob and the Man in Black to come at that point. The fact that we had just seen MIB kill a boatload of people and then are given context and actually made to feel sympathy for him in the next episode was a brilliant twist. It also removed some of the mystery that had surrounded Jacob as a godlike figure for the past four seasons. Seeing him in a more vulnerable and even foolish light (as he was portrayed in Across the Sea) made the context of the following episode (in which we saw him lay out his cards and admit "I made a mistake") easier to grasp.
Maybe some answers to Lost were always meant to remain just just that...lost.
I liked The End. I was satisfied with the answers we were given before that. The creators said they wanted the finale to be about the characters. People always say that Lost is about the mystery and the questions, which yeah, that was a great draw for the show, but for me, it was more about the characters. I wasn't on the verge of tears during numerous episodes because of the mysteries, I was because I felt something for these people.

idk if u remember but all the promos for the final season b4 it started and up to half way through the season always said "all your questions will be answered" maybe not that exact phrase but very close to it. that alone is one of the things that pissed me off about the final season, they pretty much false advertised and didn't deliver their promise.
and idk but what is the point of a mystery series that has so many questions and different things goin if they never resolve them? i totally get that some ppl were satisfied with the end and that is fine, honestly i wish i was one of them then i wouldn't be so mad about it
@thebd: Yeah, but you can't blame the writers for that because they have nothing to do with the promos. That's all ABC.
Plus, I mean, really, what big questions didn't get answered or at least addressed? "What is the island" was never a fair question anyway, because the island was an abstract device used to facilitate the events of the show; it wasn't intended to be an answerable mystery. It's like the briefcase in Pulp Fiction.
Lost is one of the best shows on TV ever. I just love to watch each and every episode of Lost. I pretty much agree with the Season ranking given by you. I also feel that season 4 was best among all the seasons.
Lost was great sci-fi drama ever. But i don't like it's end. Although i disappointed after watch lost finale, but now again started watch lost from it's starting episode at http://lost.download-tvshows.com/ as for it's brilliant mysterious storyline and stuffs.
