As the series barrels towards its final six episodes and inevitable denouement, the stakes have been made abundantly clear. Gone are all the notions that the show is “about” some massive scientific experiment gone wrong that was perpetrated by the Dharma Initiative.

The light is now dawning for all the remaining survivors and, thank God, for the viewer.
