REVIEW:
LOST
(THE
COMPLETE THIRD SEASON)

12/10/07

In its third season "Lost"
continues to be one of the best television shows in recent
years. Just in time for the holidays and two months from the
premiere of season four, "Lost The Complete Third Season" will
hit the shelves on December 11, 2007. The Widescreen edition
has a total of seven discs containing all 23 episodes from
season three plus more that six hours of bonus features that
will get fans ready for season four.
With the capture of Jack, Kate
and Sawyer by "the others" and the end of season two, the
expectations for season three were high. In this
series finally the lives of "the others" came into play.
Unfortunately for many fans, the third season had a slow
start. This was do to the fact that the first eight episodes
were focused on the development of some kind of love
triangle between Jack , Sawyer and Kate. However, to spice
things up some important facts about "the others" were
discovered during those episodes.
Like with previous seasons,
there are a couple of episodes that do not add too much to
the story at least for now and can be looked at as just fill
in episodes. For example the episode called "Exposé", where
we get to know Nikki and Paulo as two more of the castaways
with a past like the other survivals.
The turning point for the
season comes with the episode called "The Man from
Tallahassee" which takes audiences back to the main story of
series and the confrontation between the survivors and "the
others". All merging into a shocking season finale that can
be ranked as the best so far in the series, giving much more
material for speculation as to what is happening.
Overall this season answers
some of the questions from previous seasons, but at the same
time it opens new ones that will keep audiences completely
lost and anxious for more.
The widescreen DVD edition
presentation is excellent from the packaging to the to the
video and sound, keeping the quality that Buena Vista Home
Entertainment put in all of their products. As far as the
special features, there are a few that should not be missed.
"The World of the Others" where the cast gives a little
information as to what is coming up in the series. Also, the
feature " The Lost Book Club" where the producers and cast
talk about the books mentioned in the series and the meaning
to the world of "Lost".
Finally there are a total of
four Easter eggs found in the special features DVD. Two of
these are worth watching. The first one is a Dharma
Initiative video called “Orchid Instructional Video”.
It shows the regular instruction for Station Six, but
something goes wrong during the shooting of the video.
We are still trying to figure out what it means. The second
is the video that Ben was forcing Karl to watch over and
over again back in the episode ""Not in Portland".
Everything continues to be a mystery!!
