SF on TV in May 2010
And so Lost ends, Smallville, Supernatural, and Fringe
are gone until the Fall, V and FlashForward are gone at least until the
Fall, maybe forever. Coming in June, the season finale of Stargate Universe. Last month
I forgot all about Supernatural. My bad.

Is the island sentient? If not, why do people keep saying, "The island wants this." "The
island wants that." Are Jacob and the Man in Black good and evil? Order and chaos? Two
players in a cosmic game? Will the ending of Lost be the Titanic
ending (Jack dies and finds himself back on the island with everyone who ever died there
welcoming him)? The 2001: A Space Odyssey ending (the mysterious child looks down on the island and
wonders what to do next)? The 1940s South Sea Island ending (the volcano erupts destroying
the island while Jack and Kate make it to the boat and Sawyer is cut off by the
lava)? I'm enjoying the hell out of the final season of Lost.
