What was in the Hatch? The cliffhanger from season one of Lost was answered in its opening sequences, only to launch into more questions as the season progressed. That's right: Just when you say "Ohhhhh," there comes another "What?" Thankfully, the show's producers sprinkle answers like tasty morsels throughout the season, ending with a whopper: What caused Oceanic Air Flight 815 to crash in the first place? As the show digs into more revelations about its inhabitant's pasts, it also devotes a good chunk to new characters (Hey, it's an island; you never know who you're going to run into.) First, there are the "Tailies," passengers from the back end of the plane who crashed on the other side of the island. Among them are the wise, God-fearing ex-drug lord Mr. Eko (standout Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje); devoted husband Bernard (Sam Anderson); psychiatrist Libby (Cynthia Watros, whose character has more than one hidden link to the other islanders); and ex-cop Ana Lucia (Michelle Rodriguez), by far the most infuriating character on the show, despite how much the writers tried to incur sympathy with her flashback. Then there are the Others, first introduced when they kidnapped Walt (Malcolm David Kelley) at the end of season one. Brutal and calculating, their agenda only became more complex when one of them (played creepily by Michael Emerson) was held hostage in the hatch and, quite handily, plays mind games on everyone's already frayed nerves. The original cast continues to battle their own skeletons, most notably Locke (Terry O'Quinn), Sun (Yunjin Kim) and Michael (Harold Perrineau), whose obsession with finding Walt takes a dangerous turn. The love triangle between Jack (Matthew Fox), Kate (Evangeline Lilly) and Sawyer (Josh Holloway), which had stalled with Sawyer's departure, heats up again in the second half. Despite the bloating cast size (knocked down by a few by season's end) Lost still does what it does best: explores the psyche of people, about whom "my life is an open book" never applies, and cracks into the social dynamics of strangers thrust into Lord of the Flies-esque situations. Is it all a science experiment? A dream? A supernatural pocket in the universe? Likely, any theory will wind up on shaky ground by the season's conclusion. But hey, that's the fun of it. This show was made for DVD, and you can pause and slow-frame to your heart's content. Just try and keep that head-spinning to a minimum.---Ellen Kim

So I'm really glad that I decided to watch this show recorded instead of on TV. When the first season ended, I almost threw something at the TV until I realized that I had the 2nd season ready to go so I could immediately put it in and continue watching.

Another reason that I'm glad to be watching this show recorded as opposed to TV is because there are a lot of little things to pick up on between the flashbacks and the present time. The characters continue to have a lot of depth and the interaction is wonderful. I have to say that my favorite character is John Locke who is a definite enigma.

This is a great show, if you haven't seen it, it's well worthwhile. If you have, you might be able to pick up on some nuances that you missed with the seasons stretched out over 6 years. Either way, this show is a classic.

Lost is great. I have seen every episode and love watching it all again. BUT, I hate the bluray disc. Disc one has 15 minutes of ads that cannot be ff. If you only watch one episode at a time you have to go thru each time. Getting to the menu is a problem and you have to remember which ep you saw last. There is no list for all the episodes included in the jacket. Season Play does not work at all. Now that I know that I can watch from Netflix this will be my last Blu ray TV program.

I'm a die-hard LOST fan. I just couldn't believe how good the video quality of this blu-ray is. I had the feeling, in many scenes, that LOST was a 3D feature. Absolutely recommended and two important notices: although the blu ray box and amazon claim that this product is Region A locked, it can also be played, without any problem, in region B blu ray players and is dubbed in castilian spanish. The same can be said about Seasons One and Five. However europpean customers should know that Seasons Three and Four will not run on their blu ray players. A must buy absolutely recommended.

I had previously bought all of the seasons of Lost on DVD but I love Lost so much that I dedided that I would like to see the show on the High Def of Blu-Ray and I have to say it was worth it. I have since bought all of the seasons 1-5 and I am very glad I did and most of the seasons have even more extras that the DVD. iwould highly reccomend this to any one who is a fan of Lost.

I appreciate the speedy delivery and great condition the Blu-Ray disks came in. Will do business again!
