Number 9: ‘La Fleur’ (Season 5, Episode 13)
Season 5 gave us a delicious deep dive into the history of the Dharma Initiative, one of the coolest and most compelling elements of the show. This episode walks us through how Sawyer, Juliet, Jin and Miles ended up living in the barracks during the 1970s. Because, y’know, time travel. If you’re a Lostie, you’re already desensitized to a certain level of suspended disbelief.
Watching the next episode, “Namaste,” gives a fuller, more colorful picture of life on the Dharma compound, but this episode really set things in motion and gave us a much more humanized view of the Dharma folks than we’d had previously. It also set up the epic love story between Sawyer and Juliet.
