Product Description
The Oceanic 6 race back to the island and eventually discover that those who stayed behind have skipped through time as a result of Ben moving the isl
Amazon.com
Since Lost made its debut as a cult phenomenon in 2004, certain things seemed inconceivable. In its fourth year, some of those things, like a rescue, came to pass. The season ended with Locke (Terry O'Quinn) attempting to persuade the Oceanic Six to return, but he dies before that can happen--or so it appears--and where Jack (Matthew Fox) used to lead, Ben (Emmy nominee Michael Emerson) now takes the reins and convinces the survivors to fulfill Locke's wish. As producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse state in their commentary on the fifth-season premiere, "We're doing time travel this year," and the pile-up of flashbacks and flash-forwards will make even the most dedicated fan dizzy. Ben, Jack, Hurley (Jorge Garcia), Sayid (Naveen Andrews), Sun (Yunjin Kim), and Kate (Evangeline Lilly) arrive to find that Sawyer (Josh Holloway) and Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) have been part of the Dharma Initiative for three years. The writers also clarify the roles that Richard (Nestor Carbonell) and Daniel (Jeremy Davies) play in the island's master plan, setting the stage for the prophecies of Daniel's mother, Eloise Hawking (Fionnula Flanagan), to play a bigger part in the sixth and final season. Dozens of other players flit in and out, some never to return. A few, such as Jin (Daniel Dae Kim), live again in the past. Lost could've wrapped things up in five years, as The Wire did, but the show continues to excite and surprise. As Lindelof and Cuse admit in the commentary, there's a "fine line between confusion and mystery," adding, "it makes more sense if you're drunk." Other extras include deleted scenes, featurettes, a "lost" episode of Mysteries of the Universe, and commentary from writers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz on "He's Our You," a reference to Sayid, who tries to change the future by changing the past. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

 Completely Re-Invents Itself Once Again May 27, 2009
Zachary Koenig (Fergus Falls, MN)
25 out of 30 found this review helpful
While watching the first four seasons of LOST, I was continually amazed at the show's ability (due to its incredible writing) to keep the material fresh. Whether it was the flashbacks of season one, the Hatch in season two, or the huge bombshells dropped at the ends of seasons three and four, LOST was always able to keep me guessing and never felt as if it were treading the same ground twice.
This fifth season is no exception, and one could even make the case that this is the "strangest" season of LOST to date. Gone is the relatively linear format of the previous four seasons, and in is a storytelling format that jumps across time as easily as the Starship Enterprise! There are really three main "plot schemes" that exist during the course of the season (warning: minor spoilers ahead):
First, the question of "what the heck happened to the island?!" is answered, as the island (and all on it) are skipping through time and must find a way to reverse the effect before their nervous systems suffer the consequences of being displaced in time.
Once the time-skipping is stopped, the islanders find themselves in vastly different time periods, which allows the writers (in perhaps the most brilliant move in series history) to actually SHOW the Dharma Initiative, not just explain it.
While all of that is going on, the "Oceanic Six" are dealing with problems of their own ("We have to go back, Kate!") and each one must make their own decision about returning to the island.
All those thought-provoking topics provided hours more entertainment the likes of which has never been seen on network TV. Yet, I actually consider this to be the fifth-ranked season of the show for a couple of reasons:
-A few episodes bogging down and not advancing the plot as much as in the past. Though it is interesting to see some of the "Losties" initiate themselves into the Dharma group, a bit too much is made of them just "being there" and the plot stagnates a bit. The same thing happens with the "Oceanic Six" storyline...some parts are interesting, but I just breathed a sigh of relief when "they" (I won't say who or how) get back to the island.
-Also, I really missed the use of flashbacks. Though the writers are still able to tell interesting stories without them, for the first three (and the flash-forwards for one) seasons I considered the "flashes" to be the emotional backbone of the show, as it was how we really became acquainted with all the characters. I realize that the "flashes" had probably run their course, but (selfishly) I still missed them all the same.
So, had I been able to give this season a "4.5 star" rating, I probably would have. But, two factors made me lean to the side of five stars: The incredible finale episode (which I consider to be the most riveting two hours of television I have ever watched in my life...I literally walked around in a stupor for about an hour afterwards in shock) and the "John Locke/Ben Linus" plot thread. Only the LOST writers could show Locke in a coffin and then have him play a larger role in the next season than he did in the previous one!
To conclude, though certain trivial details (few flashbacks, a couple "draggy" episodes) may not put this on top of your "favorite LOST season" list, it is still (by quite a large margin) the greatest show on TV today (and perhaps ever). Buy with confidence knowing that, from beginning to end, you will continue to be amazed and entertained like never before.
LOST: The greatest TV series of all time May 4, 2009
Magnolia 12883 (Oregon City, OR USA)

Never has a show absorbed me, captured my imagination and, yes, challenged me in the ways that LOST has. This seemingly simple premise of a group of strangers crashing on an island and hoping for rescue has, in just 5 short seasons, given way to the most labyrinthine serialized TV plot currently (or perhaps ever) in existence. This season in particular has taken the labyrinthine qualities to another level. There's time travel, hidden connections being revealed, explanations of long-held secrets and questions, and, yes, more questions and cliffhangers than you can shake a fist at. Just a great great great show! :)
OK...so who's the J/A/C/K/A/S/S who changed the packaging?!?!?! PLEASE fire him/her immediately!!! December 9, 2009

NORMALLY I could care less about the packaging BUT........in this case I am more than a little upset!! 4 seasons, 4 DVD boxes, and 4 uniform packages (just changed the colors) that look great sitting next to each other on my shelf. And NOW they decide change the look of the box?!?!?!?! Did IQ's suddenly DROP at the company responsible??!
I'd like to find the imbecilic MORON who ok'd this change and punch him/her in the head!!! (well...if it's a woman...I'd just yell alot!!)
This is right up there with the DEMONS FROM HELL who release DVDs that won't let you skip over previews!!!!
Yes...I LOVE the show and this won't change the quality of the shows contained on the discs inside but......this travesty sticks out like a sore thumb on my shelf!!!
I'm seriously tempted to deduct a star or 2 for this screw-up, which I KNOW is about money (the new box is probably cheaper and you KNOW all the greedy demons really care about is the $$) but that wouldn't be fair to one of the best shows on TV.
As for the show itself....what can I tell fans they don't already know? That it's back in fine form after 2 not-quite-as-good seasons? That it REALLY makes me look forward to the final season? Well..........you already know that or you don't watch the show and probably will never see this review!!
