Lost season 3

Posted : 4 months ago on 26 March 2008 04:55 (A review of Lost - The Complete Third Season [2007] [2005])

The third season of Lost sees the series return to the high quality of the first one. Let's all admit it right here: the second season was fun, but was way too sparse with letting viewers in on new information.

In this third season, after a few episodes there is no stopping the roller coaster of new information that will give the viewer more knowledge about the island and the people on it.

Where the first season focussed on the island and the second on the hatch, the third is firmly locked on the relationship between the survivors of the Oceanic Flight and 'the Others'. All the while there is still time to offer some background and layers to the characters, so that by the end of this season you will be so fond of them, that you will not want to lose any of them...

... but you will. Lost is, amongst a lot of things, dark and mean and certainly not here to make you feel confortable. Never has this been more clear than in this season. Together with the first season, simply the best that is on offer right now on television and DVD.

Lost Season One DVD Box

Posted : 1 year, 9 months ago on 24 October 2006 03:51 (A review of Lost - Season 1)

You might have picked something up about Lost somewhere the past couple of years. It's a big success, so logically, it's everywhere. Don't be turned off by the fact that this is an extremely commercial product, though, because this first season will suck you right in and won't let you go far after you've watched the last episode of the 25 present in this box.

What's the story? 48 people survive a plane crash and have to survive on a deserted tropical island. I know, it sounds cheesy, and you'd be forgiven to think that all you're going to see are some chaps trying to make a fire with stones and talking to a ball they gave a name (hold on... wasn't that Cast Away?), but actually Lost has more in common with the X-Files than anything.

See, this island isn't your ordinary island. It has something walking around making a lot of noise and chomping off heads... it has a polar bear... it has a mysterious hatch that can't be opened...

but above all, it got a great set of characters that grow with each episode. Each episode is mixed with some flashbacks about a certain person's life before the crash, so you'll get to know them better and it makes for diverse watching material.

Of course, what happens on the island is still the most important factor in Lost, and you won't be able to contain yourself thinking about what is going to happen in the next episode. Well, guess what, you won't have to, because with this box, you'll be able to watch the entire season in one weekend.

Highly recommended, frekkels.
