Season five follows two primary storylines. The first takes place on the island, which has been moved in both space and time by Ben, and focuses on the events that lead to Locke's death in 2007. The second takes place off the island following Locke's death and deals with Jack and Ben's attempt to reunite the Oceanic Six and return to the island with Locke's dead body.
During production of the fourth season, Damon Lindelof said that "[the audience] think[s that] the show is, 'Okay, they're on the island, and then�whoosh [sound clip]�you're in the past or the future.' By the end of season four, I think the audience is going to go, 'How can the show continue to be that?' And they are absolutely right... There could easily be a time when the word flash becomes irrelevant.
Instead of using flashbacks and flashforwards as in previous seasons, stories throughout the fifth season will play out on and off the island at different points in time. With this new storytelling structure, the backstories of Ben, Rousseau, Richard, Daniel and Miles will be further revealed, but not through flashbacks. According to Carlton Cuse, the "mysterious things [that] happen to Claire [in the final episodes of the fourth season] set up the next few ... years" of her storyline.Some intended storylines were pushed back from the fourth season due to the 2007�2008 Writers Guild of America strike. Areas intended to be explored included the reason Libby (Cynthia Watros) was in the mental institution, why Ms. Hawking (Fionnula Flanagan) was in a photograph with Brother Campbell (Andrew Conolly), what happened between Ben and Henry Gale, the survivor of a hot air balloon crash and how Ben was caught in Rousseau's trap in the second season episode titled "One of Them"and the four-toed statue seen by Sayid, Jin and Sun.The first trailer was released on October 22, 2008.A music video for the song "You Found Me" by The Fray features scenes from season five.
