Season 5 Episode Rankings

I wonder if the ratings will go up a bit for the season finale. I updated my rankings in my post above, but making a new post since the thread disappeared since it has been a month since the last post.

I'm pretty sure that's the trend - a slight increase in ratings for the finale. At least I hope that happens. Anyway, I completely changed around the ratings section at the end of my first post above, making it easier to read.

Outstanding
Jughead
The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham
Follow The Leader
The Incident

Below Par
The Lie

Mixed Bag
316
Because You Left

Really Good
Namaste, Whatever Happened Happened, This Place is Death, LaFleur, Dead is Dead, The Variable
He's Our You

On Par/Good
Some Like It Hoth, The Little Prince

Summary
1&2 Neither did much for me. 'The Lie' was easily the worst of the season, poor Hurley got a predictable hamfisted story, and Because You Left was probably the second worst Season Premiere in the series history (Tale of Two Cities). While outstanding in spots, too much redundant action and dialogue. 3. Jughead was a superb script and episode. 4. Little Prince was passable. 5. This Place is Death was really good. 6. 316 was one of the most disjointed episodes in the history of Lost. Half of it was tremendous and exciting, the other half was incredibly below average and...just odd.

The six episode stretch from 7-12 (TLADOJB-Dead is Dead) was probably as good of a run of 6 consecutive episodes in the shows history. Including the best Kate centric ever, a thrilling Bentham episode, a killer Ben centric and arguably the best Sawyer centric to date. He's Our You was a pretty great episode as well. Great stuff altogether.

13. Some Like It Hoth was what it was, passable, fun and it served to give us a little levity break. 14. The Variable was tremendous and 15. Follow the Leader was an incredibly good script. 16. The Incident was one of the best episodes ever, enough said.
