The time-twisting fifth season of "LOST" can soon be yours on DVD. The show's penultimate season hits shelves on Dec. 8, giving fans plenty of time to re-live and re-think every episode before the show returns for its final season in the first week of February.
Executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse dived into the world of time-travel. After planting the seeds and rules in season threes's "Flashes Before Your Eyes" and season four's "The Constant," the executive producers decided no time was better to mess with time.
Season five finds Sawyer (Josh Holloway), Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell), Daniel (Jeremy Davies), Miles (Ken Leung), Charlotte and the others left behind flashing through time on The Island while Jack (Matthew Fox) tries to convince the Oceanic Six to return to The Island.
The Oceanic Six eventually return to The Island and the flashes eventually stop but not before time separates some characters from others by 30 years.
Jack, Kate (Evangeline Lilly), Hurley (Jorge Garcia) and Sayid (Naveen Andrews) find themselves in 1977 and where they discover Sawyer is head of Dharma security, and Juliet, Miles and friends working for the Dharma Initiative.
Meanwhile, Ben (Michael Emerson), Sun (Yunjin Kim), Frank (Jeff Fahey), and a seemingly resurrected John Locke (Terry O'Quinn) find themselves in 2007 and on a journey that will eventually take them to an unexpected and surprising place.
As for time travel, the rules in the "LOST" world are seemingly simple. Daniel explains that the future can't be changed nor the past, that whatever happened, happened. But what if things can change?
This question consumes the second half of the season, eventually coming to a head in the season finale "The Incident" when the question becomes: what if Oceanic 815 never crashed on The Island? This is the question "LOST" asks as it prepares to launch its final chapter in 2010.
As for those in 2007, Sun's mission is to find Jin (Daniel Dae Kim) while Ben tries to figure out how Locke can still be alive on The Island and assumes his position as the leader of The Others, after Ben killed him prior to the return to The Island. The Locke story provides the most jaw-dropping and breathtaking moment in the season.
