We Have to Go Back !

Warning: Spoilers
Through the Looking Glass puts most of modern television to shame with its complete brilliance. Turning the whole series on its head, reinventing the flashbacks by subverting viewers expectations and providing some of the most touching and shocking moments in history, it never disappoints. Not Penny's Boat, We Have to Go Back, pick your iconic moment.

It's an absolutely relentless episode who never lets its foot off the gas. Jack brings the survivors to the tower in order to be rescued. Charlie goes inside the Looking Glass to unjam the signal and fulfill his destiny. Can we trust Naomi ? What does Locke have to do ? What happens back at the beach ? So many questions.

Back in the flashes, Jack's situation is dire. He seems completely off. Of course, the audience is led to believe it's the usual flashback, but the ending gives you chills all over. The whole purpose since season 1 has been to get off the island. Not only did the survivors manage to leave, but the new reality suggests it was a bad idea ? Huh.

Get ready for the ride of your life. It's a pure adventure story start to finish with so much heart injected to it you won't be able to take your eyes off the screen. The amount of thought given to the writing and each and everyone of the characters is outstanding. Oh, and the music is obviously phenomenal. The theme changes slightly throughout the episode and puts you directly in the shoes of our protagonists.
