USA Today Robert Bianco
This is an epic big-screen adventure done for the small screen--and done in a way that makes most big-screen versions pale in comparison.

San Francisco Chronicle Tim Goodman
Lost is a different genre, one that may infuriate even the loyalists, but there's something impressive and rewarding in its density.

Philadelphia Daily News Ellen Gray
The decision to create a Season 6 exit strategy for Lost may turn out to be one of the best things ever to happen to a TV series, restoring a sense of purpose for the show, which had been treading water.

Variety Brian Lowry
Lost nevertheless approaches its twists with what appears to be a greater degree of intellectual rigor than almost anything else on primetime.

Kansas City Star Aaron Barnhart
When Lost returns Wednesday with a thoroughly entertaining two-hour barnburner, you will want to be there.

Boston Globe Matthew Gilbert
The feverish action is as tantalizing as ever, and so is the script.

Newark Star-Ledger Alan Sepinwall
I've seen both of tomorrow's episodes, as well as next week's, and I loved every minute. But I'm also a geek who read Ray Bradbury and Isaac Asimov growing up.

Newsday Verne Gay
The season's premiere represents pig-in-the-python storytelling--there's so much to work through, so many details, stories, characters and time dimensions to attend to, that after a while this all starts to feel like a very full meal.

Chicago Sun-Times Thomas Conner
As the fifth season opens this week, the time-travel training wheels are coming off--and the path thus far seems blissfully free of the usual stumbling blocks.

New York Post Linda Stasi
So, two quantum physi cists walk into a bar and one says to the other, "It's 10 p.m. Do you know what time it is?" If you love that joke, or if you even understand that joke, have I got a fifth season for you.

Los Angeles Times Robert Lloyd
You can either let this annoy you, or you can try to work out the meaning, or you can just enjoy the flow in a noncommittal way that does not preclude your being stimulated, shocked or held in suspense--like a fun-house ride. I am of the third disposition, and have also been of the first.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen
The episode is a fast-moving two hours that answers enough questions to satisfy fans and raises still more questions in an effort to further the intrigue.
60
New York Daily News David Hinckley
Lost returns Wednesday exactly the way fans like it: utterly, totally, completely incomprehensible to anyone who doesn't know the secret handshake. If you're a fan, however, or if you're willing to really study the one-hour crash catchup course that ABC is airing before the first two new episodes tonight, you'll be rewarded with richly intertwined and well-acted drama.
