Item was ordered and about 10 days later it was in my hands. Good service and fast delivery. The way it should be. ThanksDVD Review: Island of Lost Souls
Summary: 4 Stars
It is really hard to guage this series on the first season since it has now had four more seasons to develop its stories and characters, and has gained such a devoted following. However, I for one had a lot of qualms with season one, which struck me as very discordant.
I have a feeling that Abrams and co. had no idea what they were getting into at the start. What begins as a plane crash on an apparently remote island soon takes on many mysterious tones with a huge ensemble cast not much unlike those old Airport movies from the 70s. The cast is made up of relative unknowns giving the show the initial feeling of a staged reality show, but the writing has a lot of gaps, and the actors really seem to struggle with their roles in the early going.
But, a core group soon emerges, much to the chagrin of the other "Lostaways" such as Arzt, which pretty much carries the action. Even still it is a pretty big group and doesn't break down easily along the lines of other castaway shows like Gilligan's Island, but I can't help seeing Jack and Kate as the Professor and Mary Ann.
The writers, who earned their chops on such shows as Nash Bridges, Alias, Brisco County Jr. and Six Degrees seem to take elements from near and far when it comes to island movies and TV serials. One can't help but sense the menacing feel of Jules Verne's Mysterious Island or even H.G. Wells' The Island of Dr. Moreau, but the threads that develop seem to come more from the 70s, when we were all absorbed with Bermuda triangle theories, alien encounters and supernatural thrillers. The Island gives them a lush venue to update these themes and keep you going with a number of tantalizing threads.
Unfortunately, the writing stumbles and falters and the situations don't bear up that well under scrutiny. This show is mostly for effect, not for any deep underlying themes, and seems to be developed pretty much from week to week. But, take heart, Lostophiles say that the show only gets better with each passing season. However, I give the first season a B-.
DVD Review: Blew me away
Summary: 4 Stars
I always heard people talking about "lost" and had absolutely no idea what it was about...until just last year, when I discovered it on TV. I was shocked. Something so amazing had been released four years earlier, and I had no idea. I have to say I was very confused to what was going on at first, because I caught one of the season 3 episodes. Thats when I learned if you havn't seen the first episode of Lost (pilot), then you will be lost.
I own most of the first series on itunes, and would buy it on DVD. The reason I rated it 4 stars on amazon is because of the price--the first season of lost came out in 2004,making it five years old. How come the price has hardly dropped? If you are going any of the Lost seasons, walk into a Target. I saw them there today and seasons 1-3 are only $34.99! Why pay five dollars for shipping on top of the $10 extra Amazon charges and have to wait a week when you can walk into a target and get it for much less? If amazon drops the price to 19.99-25.00, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it. Otherwise, the item itself deserves five stars.
Otherwise, I highly recommend buying this and can say in a minute it is on my top favorite tv show list. Amazing series--blew me away!
DVD Review: Damn...
Summary: 5 Stars
(DON'T WORRY, NO SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW.)
I'm a die hard Firefly fan. I think it's the best show ever made. Then one day, Sci Fi Channel started showing Lost starting from episode one. As a result, I've now purchased and viewed every DVD set of Lost. Yes. It's that good. I haven't seen Season 5 yet though (waiting for the DVD). I've been busy catching up on seasons 1-4. I really don't know how one can stand watching this show on TV! I can't watch just one episode per week!!!
About this DVD set in particular, it's awesome. I've seen season 1-4 on DVD on my PlayStation 3. Let me tell you, save your money. Don't think you have to get the Blu-Ray version. The audio and video quality, on my PS3 at least, is so amazing, you would think you're watching HD quality video. So bottom line, if you are worried about price and you have a Blu Ray player or an upconverting DVD player, just get the sets on DVD, they look and sound fantastic.
If you are considering checking out Lost for the first time, just do yourself a favor and buy Season 1 and 2 together, because by the end of season one you will be foaming at the mouth until you see the second season.
That's the worst thing about this show. It's extremely addictive.
There's nothing more to say so I will say no more.

Description of Lost - The Complete First Season
From J.J. Abrams, the creator of Alias, comes the action-packed adventure that became a worldwide television event. Stranded on an island that holds many secrets, 48 people must band together if they hope to get home alive. Now you can experience the nonstop excitement and mystery of every episode, from the show's stunning first minute to its spectacular finale, on a seven-disc set. Presented in a widescreen theatrical format with 5.1 Surround Sound and bursting with more than eight hours of original bonus features -- including unaired Lost flashbacks from the final episode -- Lost is a real find.Along with Desperate Housewives, Lost was one of the two breakout shows in the fall of 2004. Mixing suspense and action with a sci-fi twist, it began with a thrilling pilot episode in which a jetliner traveling from Australia to Los Angeles crashes, leaving 48 survivors on an unidentified island with no sign of civilization or hope of imminent rescue. That may sound like Gilligan's Island meets Survivor, but Lost kept viewers tuning in every Wednesday night--and spending the rest of the week speculating on Web sites--with some irresistible hooks (not to mention the beautiful women). First, there's a huge ensemble cast of no fewer than 14 regular characters, and each episode fills in some of the back story on one of them. There's a doctor; an Iraqi soldier; a has-been rock star; a fugitive from justice; a self-absorbed young woman and her brother; a lottery winner; a father and son; a Korean couple; a pregnant woman; and others. Second, there's a host of unanswered questions: What is the mysterious beast that lurks in the jungle? Why do polar bears and wild boars live there? Why has a woman been transmitting an SOS message in French from somewhere on the island for the last 16 years? Why do impossible wishes seem to come true? Are they really on a physical island, or somewhere else? What is the significance of the recurring set of numbers? And will Kate ever give up her bad-boy fixation and hook up with Jack?
Lost did have some hiccups during the first season. Some plot threads were left dangling for weeks, and the "oh, it didn't really happen" card was played too often. But the strong writing and topnotch cast kept the show a cut above most network TV. The best-known actor at the time of the show's debut was Dominic Monaghan, fresh off his stint as Merry the Hobbit in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings films. The rest of the cast is either unknowns or "where I have I seen that face before" supporting players, including Matthew Fox and Evangeline Lilly, who are the closest thing to leads. Other standouts include Naveen Andrews, Terry O'Quinn (who's made a nice career out of conspiracy-themed TV shows), Josh Holloway, Jorge Garcia, Yunjin Kim, Maggie Grace, and Emilie de Ravin, but there's really not a weak link in the cast. Co-created by J.J. Abrams (Alias), Lost left enough unanswered questions after its first season to keep viewers riveted for a second season. --David Horiuchi

DVD features
Even if you saw every episode of Lost on TV--or perhaps especially if you saw every episode--the DVD set is a must-own. The episodes are presented in widescreen format, just as they were broadcast on high-definition channels. (Conventional ABC-TV broadcasts were reduced to 1.33 full-screen format.) Four of the episodes have commentary tracks by the producing team and the actors who were featured on certain episodes (Terry O'Quinn, Dominic Monaghan, and Maggie Grace and Ian Sommerhalder). The last disc has over three hours of bonus material sensibly broken into three categories. "Departure" discusses the initial creation of the series, the making of the pilot, and the cast (some characters were created to fit the actors, and Evangeline Lilly's Kate was the hardest to cast). It also includes the cast's audition tapes and photographs by Matthew Fox. "Tales from the Island" provides background material on seven of the episodes plus the boars used in filming, Jimmy Kimmel's appearance on the set, and the genesis of the Driveshaft song ("You all everybody..."). Finally, "Lost Revealed" includes two scenes cut from the season finale, 13 other deleted scenes (not identified by episode, unfortunately), a blooper reel, and the cast and crew's giddy appearance at the Museum of Television & Radio. --David Horiuchi
