Finale Watch List

Lost - No Place Like Home, Pt. 1 (May 15, 10:02-11:00pm e/p) and No Place Like Home, Pt. 2 (May 29, 9:00-11:00pm e/p) - ABC

Viewers' reactions to this show range from an abnormal passion to sheer frustration. Whatever your opinion of Lost, the creative team continues its efforts to redefine television storytelling as it incorporates psuedo science and science fiction into the drama about human nature. This has resulted in a rollercoaster ride for the characters and fans that Damon Lindelof and Carleton Cuse are trying to alleviate.

In Part 1 of the three-hour finale, the plane crash survivors' troubled mystic John Locke will try to carry out the island spirit Jacob's directive to move the huge island... The second part will set-up the plot for the fifth season, revealing some of who are still alive on the island and more about the Oceanic Six, who have successfully escaped the island's magnetic pull - or have they? We'll also learn whose funeral was held in last year's season finale.

House - Season Finale, Pt. 2 - Wilson's Heart (May 19, 9:00pm e/p) - FOX
In Part 1, which aired earlier this week, the ascerbic Dr. House was a passenger on a bus that had an awful crash. The doctor cannot remember what happened, but he does know there's something he must recall - and time is running out! As he faces his own potentially life-threatening injuries, his team puts him under hypnosis as they hope to pull forward the memories of the crash. A mysterious woman in his subconscious teases and taunts him to remember, until he realizes Amber was on the bus and is dying. No one knew because she was admitted as Jane Doe No. 2.

In Part 2 of the season finale, Wilson's Heart, House's relationship with Wilson is threatened and may change their lives forever as more from the previous night are revealed from House's peculiar subconscious mind. If the conclusion of the two-parter is anything like the first part, it will be a radical television moment.
