{5\/5} “I’m your father.”<\/p>\n

We find out more about the Others — who have captured Jack, Kate, and Sawyer. Just as there’s some trouble among members of the group of castaways we’ve been following, all of the members of the Others don’t get along all the time. They’ve been on the island for a few years, and their leader needs Jack’s help with a dire situation. We also find out more about the Dharma Initiative — the ones who built the hatches. And a new person arrives on the island — she bailed out of her helicopter which crashed into the ocean.<\/p>\n

Lost<\/strong> season 3 originally aired in 2006-07. As in season 2<\/a>, the story keeps getting stranger.<\/p>\n

I’m still rating this\u00a0season\u00a05\/5 but I do feel the first two seasons were a hair better.<\/p>\n

Some viewers complained about the focus on a specific group of characters at the beginning of the season, but I didn’t mind. Of course, I don’t have to wait a week for the next episode.<\/p>\n

The story of the castaways continues to be fascinating. I feel that the story of the Others and the Dharma Initiative should have been planned out a bit more carefully. Some earth-shattering events needed more explanation, like the final fate of the Dharma Initiative. There are some times when a character needed to provide a bit more information to produce a different outcome — this makes it seem like they were deliberately obtuse\u00a0in order to make the plot move in a certain direction.<\/p>\n

Everyone has seen bizarre things in the jungle — people who are far away or dead, a horse, polar bears, and black mist that can kill you. The island continues to be a dangerous place — some people who survived the crash are no longer with us.<\/p>\n

I’ve decided Hurley is my favourite character. He’s always friendly and calls everyone “dude.” He gets to save the day in the season 3 finale.<\/p>\n

The season premiere reminded me of Planet of the Apes<\/strong> with people in cages and music reminiscent of that (original) movie.<\/p>\n

One episode focuses on Nikki and Paulo, two minor characters we’ve seen a few times in season 3. The episode is mostly not-so-interesting as it covers things we’ve seen before, but the ending is pretty amazing.<\/p>\n

In a long list of surprising things, the very end of the season 3 finale might be the most surprising.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth Mitchell (Frequency<\/strong>) plays Juliet, one of the Others. Henry Ian Cusick (the TV show Scandal<\/strong>) plays Desmond, the man who was in the hatch when Locke opened it. Tania Raymonde (the TV show Death Valley<\/strong>) plays Alex, Rousseau’s daughter.<\/p>\n

Nathan Fillion (the TV show Castle<\/strong><\/a>) guest stars as someone from Kate’s past. John Terry (The Living Daylights<\/strong>) continues to play Jack’s father and Kevin Tighe (the TV show Emergency!<\/strong>) continues to play Locke’s father. Billy Dee Williams (The Empire Strikes Back<\/strong>) has a funny cameo as himself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
