Does anyone on my flist follow Lost faithfully? I used to love that show ( season 1 was awesome! ) but I stopped watching it after the second season. I've started watching season 5 because I want to see Mark Pellegrino in the finale. But unfortunately I couldn't make head or tail of any of the episodes. I'm currently at episode 7 and most of the time I was pulling my hair out by the roots, I was so frustrated.

My kids are avid fans and they said something about the show having several timelines and that the island can be moved? But judging from their shifty eyes, I suspect that they don't really get it either.

I wonder if someone could please give me a condensed version of season 5? I was thinking of going straight to the finale without watching the rest of the episodes, but minus spoilers from the finale. Anyone? Please?
