The "Getting Lost" series is about a Lost newbie's attempts to watch all five seasons of the show for the first time, just as the sixth (and final) one rolls along.

What I Watched on Week 14: Season 5, Episodes 6-12 ("316", "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham", "LaFleur", "Namaste", "He's Our You", "Whatever Happened, Happened" and "Dead is Dead")

I honestly don't know how to start this week's installment. I watched seven more episodes and it felt like the past few events have been a routine of sorts. Now that I (think I have) figured out how the time traveling aspect of the show works--and now that two-thirds of the cast is stuck in 1977--it's become a matter of how certain things happened. So Ben became an Other because of Sayid? Uhh, okay. And because of Kate, Sawyer and Juliet, in a way? Okay. And then what? It's like watching things unfold, already knowing how things will turn out in the end. Where's the excitement there? And would I have seen these things in a different way if I didn't know the idea that certain things will happen even if some deviations happen on the way?
