The 15th episode of the 6th season of Lost aired on the 11th of May 2010. "Across The Sea" received a reaction that can only be described as "polarizing". The episode centered around the origins of Jacob and the enigmatic Man In Black, and also answered several of the "fundamental mysteries" Lost: who is this Man In Black? Who were "Adam and Eve"? What needs to be protected on the island? In my opinion, the episode was one of the best of the season, however, I was soon to find out that I was in the minority.
It seems that this was an episode that you either had to love or hate, no in between. And this was acknowledged by executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof, the latter of whom tweeted "is polarizing a bad thing?". The two later also commented that they liked the episode, although they knew that locating it so late in the season was a risk.
Personally, the only gripe i have with the episode is the title...I think that it should have been called "Beyond The Sea". Don't know what I'm on about? Well, remember the song Shannon sang at the end of the episode entitled "Whatever The Case May Be" ? The song was "La Mer", the English version of which is "Beyond The Sea", I think it would have been a rather poetic title for this episode.
