Having crashed on a mysterious isle, the survivors of Oceanic Air Flight 815 are learning ever more about the local weirdness, the legacy of an experiment aimed at manipulating space-time. At the end of Season 4, the island's Einsteinian juju caused it to vanish, taking most of the castaways with it, while six escapees realize they have to return--along with a villain now allied with them, plus a dead guy--to prevent a catastrophe...

They suggest that art could be created by placement.It is one thing to treat imagined soap as an object. “Place (Village)” takes it further, however, by treating the houses as physical, aesthetic constructions, causing their souls to vanish along with their contents. In real life, the beauty of houses in aggregate comes from the whole patchwork of messy memory, rooted in warm doughy snacks, wrestling on a sunny lawn, and the hole left when the kids leave for college. Whiteread purposely absents these things, dislocating the dollhouses...
