Maggie Grace

A blunt-force narrative...[though] Morel does good work with a string of brutish and short action scenes...

Lost's redemption songs continue to compel, all the way up to another thrilling cliffhanger finale that doles out mortal terrors and, for some, escape.

Part of what makes Lost unique is its sprawling and diverse ensemble; part of it is the show's fearless embrace of 'genre' (read science-fiction) trappings without sacrificing full-blooded character arcs and a novelistic frame.

The ludicrous plot devices that allow Mills to go from point A to point Z insult the intelligence of the character and the audience.
