LOST, Season 6

 
"LA X"
Island underworld
Desolate beneath the sea
Only sharks survive

War on the Island
A second chance in L.A.
Alternate timelines

Desmond's on the plane
He's reading Salman Rushdie
Wait, where did he go?

Maybe there's still hope
They can go dutch on coffee
In another life?

Guess it's not too late
To add some new characters
Hence, other Others

In a wooden ankh,
Inside Hurley's guitar case:
Jacob's latest list

Wondering what's next,
Sayid faces his demise
And then bounces back

"What Kate Does"
Sayid has been claimed
By a burgeoning darkness
It happened to Claire

Under the floorboards
A would-be engagement ring
Now in the ocean

"The Substitute"
Manipulation
Sawyer's grief is Smokey's gain
He's his first recruit

A shame to turn back
When you're so close to answers
But do you trust him?

Etched on a cave wall
The names of those he brought here
Jacob's candidates

"Lighthouse"
In the looking glass
Jack sees the home of his youth
And then smashes it

He has what it takes
He is here for a reason
He'll find it himself

"Sundown"
The scale has been tipped
Apparently, he's evil
No time left for him

What you want the most
You can have your heart's desire
Just do as he asks

"Dr. Linus"
Light the dynamite
This newly enlightened Jack
Knows he won't blow up

Who needs Ben's money
With those jabronies' diamonds
Buried in the sand?

Digging his own grave
He seeks self-preservation
And finds forgiveness

"Recon"
He's playing both sides
And while they're fighting it out
He'll just take the sub

He blows it with Red
Leaving him available
For a certain blonde?

In the Sideways World
He chose a different path
But still plots to kill

A spin-off series
Starring Detective James Ford
Would be so awesome!

Advice for Losties:
Avoid unwanted spoilers
Don't read the guest cast

"Ab Aeterno"
Swept up in a storm
The ship topples the statue
And then lands in Hell

Saved by the Monster
Wasting away in despair
He's vulnerable

The Island's purpose:
Don't let the Darkness escape
Keep it bottled up

No absolution
Or reunion with lost love
Just eternal life

"The Package"
On Sun's camera
Jin gets his first-ever glimpse
Of their little girl

Shot in the Sideways
Left speechless on the Island
Still not giving up

A who, not a what
Poor drugged Desmond's the package
Brought back by Widmore

All the bad fathers
Have nothing on the in-laws
Of Desmond and Jin

"Happily Ever After"
Drinking MacCutcheon's
With a boss he's quite fond of
But is he happy?

Charlie's seen the truth
Consciousness-altering love
He felt something real

Here's where things get weird
Flashes of another life
Before they changed it

In another life
Desmond still finds his Constant
With her brother's help

Not done with him yet
Desmond's talent is vital
He has work to do

"Everybody Loves Hugo"
That stuff's unstable
She doesn't heed the warnings
And then she goes BOOM!

Ready to let go
Jack puts his trust in Hurley
Who leads him to Locke

"The Last Recruit"
A big confession
Dad was Smokey all along
Just being helpful!

It doesn't feel right
Jack takes one more leap of faith
And swims back to shore

"The Candidate"
Though he can't save her
He won't let her die alone
They drown side by side

Sayid's sacrifice
Helps some of his friends survive
For the time being

"Across the Sea"
He wasn't lying
About his crazy mother
Eve to his Adam

"What They Died For"
He gave them a choice
And one Candidate stepped up
Jack has a new job

Special in both worlds:
Sideways consciousness-raiser
And Island fail-safe

"The End"
Jack's learned his lesson
No shortcuts or do-overs
What happened, happened

No need for coffee
An Apollo Bar will do
They found each other

It's Hugo's job now
And he'll find a better way
With some help from Ben

They need each other
They made this place together
They'll move on as one

Where it all began
Jack sees his friends fly away
And then he lets go

"The New Man in Charge"
Tying up loose ends
Setting the Dharma dudes free
With one answer each

Smart, adaptable
But dangerous and cunning
Bears are not your friends

At last, the culprit
Electromagnetism
Bad for pregnancy

To question Hostiles
But not violate the truce
Use cutting-edge drugs

Playing Connect Four
At Santa Rosa psych ward
Walt is still special

Going back with them
To where he's always belonged
He has work to do

LOST, Season 5

 
"Because You Left"
Desmond is special
Unique and miraculous
Dan asks him for help

"The Lie"
Hurley won't go back
He'd rather go to prison
He tells Mom the truth

"Jughead"
Nineteen fifty-four
Young Widmore's on the Island
And so is a bomb

"The Little Prince"
Traveling through time
Sawyer briefly glimpses Kate
But what's done is done

"This Place Is Death"
Time-travel sickness
Is more than a bloody nose
Just ask poor Charlotte

"316"
Ajira Airlines
A way back to the Island
Don't forget Dad's shoes

Fasten your seatbelts
'Cause we're not going to Guam
No turning back now

Sayid's in handcuffs
Hurley's got a guitar case
Ben reads Ulysses

"The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham"
Saved from suicide
And then shockingly murdered
John Locke lives again

"LaFleur"
Sawyer has a plan
After all, he's a con man
He knows how to lie

He lies to buy time
But two weeks becomes three years
Turns out, life is good

His name's Jim LaFleur
Well, actually, it's Sawyer
No, wait, it's James Ford

James and Juliet
Found happiness together
Can their love survive?

"Namaste"
Life in Dharmaville
Was going pretty nicely
Until they showed up

Jack is a workman
That's where his aptitude lies
He's not a thinker

But no one will believe him
It's just too crazy

"The Variable"
Poor little Daniel
He wants to play piano
Mother won't let him

Dan sees his true love,
Charlotte, as a little girl.
He tries to warn her.

Dan's got a theory
Constants and variables
Are both important

Widmore is his dad.
As for his Mom? She shoots him.
It's tough to be Dan.

Daniel Faraday
Is a brilliant physicist
But Mom still shoots him

The good news is that
Desmond Hume is still alive.
The bad news? Dan's not.

"Follow the Leader"
Jack goes for a swim,
In search of the bomb, "Jughead,"
While Locke plots murder.

"The Incident"
Two players, two sides
One is light, and one is dark
It only ends once

Now they have a bomb
It's always something with them
Will their plane still crash?
