This is part 1 of a 3 part series of impressions I have for Lost. If you know me well, then you know I love the series. In the past I try not to make impressions because I wanted people to watch Lost without being spoiled. This season, because it's the final season, I wanted give my thoughts and theories of the series. Instead of one whole impression, I'm going to break it down.

In part 1 of my impressions I'm going to give my thoughts on the first 6 episodes. If you need the first 6 episode titles, click here. Prior to the season premiere several weeks ago, I was excited that Lost will find closure and explain it's mysteries on the island. In the past the creators, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, has spoken of an end game to the series. They rightfully told fans that they won't explain everything because they wanted people to talk about it in years to come. I was happy to hear about this, because I thought Lost would be hard to explain, especially of it's sci-fi aspects. Throughout the years fans were upset and confused of what has become of Lost. It seems like it abandon  it's first season of character development to it's not circus of questions and science fiction. I didn't mind. The creators also used great gimmicks and asserted the "flash forwards" to explain it's complex story.

In the final season's premiere titled "LA X" part 1 and 2, the creators created the "flash-sideways" which shows our main characters in Lost in an alternative reality. The reason being is because in last season's finale, when Juliet was about to activate the H-bomb, Daniel Faraday said that it would erase anything after the bomb explodes in 1974. This means the island doesn't exists,  thus making their plane landing safely in LA in 2004.

Are you lost yet?

Well it picked up from that point. Faraday's theory is put into motion when we are revisiting the pilot episode of Lost, but instead certain character developments are shrewd. I love the direction it took, but I don't think it's the right one for a final season. It actually seem more confusing. Following them for the past six years have been exciting and mind blowing, but also heavy and irritating at some parts. Sometimes it's taken itself too seriously.

In the first 6 episodes of the season we dive head first into character development. Which is actually awesome. It's quite interesting to see what would these characters do if the plane didn't crash onto the island. Some stories where hopefully and a couple were tragic but the main aspect I notice was the redemption factor.  By this point of the series all character's have a certain flaw, the new season redeem those flaws and make good with them. Not only do you get an alternate timeline you also see all the what if's. There's a problem though. Even though it's interesting, it's also confusing. You get a sense of what's actually going to happen and why is this alternate timeline important? Then you question how they're going to tie the alternate timeline and the original timeline by not being cheesy. For the better, it's good to see television not being dumb down. The series is working your brain, which is frustration at most, but it's worth your time - maybe.

I have to admit, I'm a bit frustrated. The past two or three seasons hasn't been the best. I do have a quarrel with the series: The introduction of characters and their untimely demise. This season it's Dogen and Lennon, who seem to be important characters that we haven't seen in past seasons. Which is questionably odd. Recurring characters show up and you'll get surprises. Characters have never been a problem with Lost though. It's the story itself.

Overall, this season seem to be shaping up well. We got a Kate episode, that didn't push the story forward by that much. The Locke episode was intriguing. The Jack and Sayid episodes were good. But the episode that had me hoping for great episodes to come is the Ben Linus episode. It's heartwarming and great. Ben Linus has always been a great character, this episode was especially great. Before I forget, did I mention other characters show up in other people's alternate timeline. Which is awesome because their destiny from one another would always happen regardless if they switched timelines or alternate timelines.

Can't wait until this season is over. 12 more episodes!!!  I want to cover everything else from the past 6 episodes but I would love to hear other people's opinions and theories. Try to be spoiler free please!
