I’m a huge fan of Lost, having watched the show right from the beginning unlike some who have only joined much later after they’ve heard their friends talk about the latest episode and decided to get in on the act.

It’s a great show but is sometimes hard to keep track of. So in tribute to the start of season 5, this video shows a quick recap of the first four seasons of Lost. It still doesn’t explain any of the strange goings-on but it does make it all slightly less confusing.

With everything that’s happened since, the original airplane crash sequence seems so long ago and unimportant. And I’d almost forgotten how bad Kate’s character actually is. But this video brought it all back in an instant.

If you’re hoping that season 5 is going to offer more in the way of explanations, I think you’ll be disappointed. From what I’ve heard, this season is mess with our minds even more than previous ones did. I can’t wait.
