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. On the DVD Commentaries by various cast members and producers reveal little other than the occasional easter egg (the Dharma logo on the shark fin, Walt's mumbling translating to "Don't push the button; the button is bad" backwards). But disc seven opens with an eerie Hanso Foundation instructional video, leading you to eight hours of bonus features, including cast members' own theories, deleted scenes, and featurettes on specific episodes. It's all well and good for Lost fanatics, but if you want the cream of the crop, check out: "Lost Connections," an interactive feature that reveals how all the islanders are actually linked (for instance, one of the officers who captured Sayid during the Gulf War is Kate's father); a Channel UK promo for the show directed by David LaChappelle in which cast members suck in their cheeks and, dressed in evening wear, tango in slow motion as if in a Calvin Klein ad (it has to be a joke, right?); and "The World According to Sawyer," which strings together each of the un-PC nicknames and pop culture references spewed by Holloway's character. Favorites include "Chewie" for Jin and "Ponce de Leon" for Ana Lucia. It's by far the cherry on top of a sweet dessert. --Ellen A. Kim

 Even better than season 1 November 8, 2008
Katherine Smith (Syracuse, NY)
I love this show, its the best on TV. This show hooks you from the begininng and pulls you in you want to know what happens next. I ended up watching this entire season in two days. A must for all you sci-fi buffs. My favorite episode in this season is Live together, DIE Alone.
One of the things LOST introduced me to was the Twilight Zone which J.J. Abrams was inspired. Besides this box set of season 2 of lost, I recommend a book also on Amazon.com. THE TWILIGHT ZONE: Unlocking the Door to a Television Classic by Martin Grams. Together, they both open the skies for cult television.

The DVD set was in excellent condition. Arrived in a timely manner.
I would purchase from this seller again without hesitation.Lost - The Complete First Season
This is a great TV show October 17, 2008
Charles A. Thibodeaux (Slidell, La.)
I would recommend this TV show to anyone. It keeps you wanting to know and understand more of what is going on. Lots and lots of mystry in the show. The DVD collection is great with additional information, interviews, and much more you don't get to see on TV.
Amazing Drama. October 15, 2008
Adam Gagnon
One of the best shows to ever air on television. This show is a must see (preferably from the beginning).
LOST is about a group of survivors who crash on an island. Nothing about the crash, island, or survivors is obvious or apparent however. The show is full of so many twists and turns you have to follow it closely.
The clever writing and amazing scripts make this show engaging on an episode-to-episode entertainment level as well as an overall arc for a very intriguing series.
 An Unfortunate Sophomore Slump September 24, 2008

Before I say anything else, there are two things you need to know about this set:
1) A subpar LOST episode still better than 90% of the shows on television today.
2) Because of the show's nature, anyone interested in seeing future seasons (which are *really* good) has to watch this set. LOST isn't the type of show you can skip a few episodes and hope to understand what's going on.
Now that I've gotten all that out of the way...
This season was a big disappointment.
After an incredible, Emmy-winning and immensely popular first season, it became clear that LOST was going to be one of ABC's top shows for quite some time. The problem with that is that LOST, more than most shows, needs a definitive ending. There needs to be a point where we find out definitively what happens to all the characters, and get answers to all (or at least most) of our questions. But with pressure to keep such a ratings giant on-air as long as possible, the writers needed to keep a tight control on the flow of answers, leading to a season that feels dragged out.
For every answer you're given on LOST, at least one more question arises. For instance, the season opener answers one of last year's big mysteries: what's in the Hatch? But as soon as you find out, you are left with a ton of new question about who the heck built it and why. This sort of thing used to be entertaining, but as the season progresses the balance between answers and new mysteries gets thrown way out of whack. We are given many, many more questions than answers, and after a while it starts to get frustrating.
This season also introduces of a group of survivors from the plane's tail section to decidedly mixed results. Some, like the Nigerian priest/mystic Mr. Eko (excellently portrayed by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), are fascinating and bring a new layer of intrigue to the show. Others are not so enjoyable, particularly the obnoxious ex-cop, Ana Lucia. Her backstory is awful, her tough-girl attitude seems cliched, and the actress who plays her, Michelle Rodrigez, CANNOT ACT. Her line readings are all identical and unconvincing, and the attempts at making her sympathetic fall flat. She looks even worse in comparison to the rest of the cast, which continues to be stellar.
Luckily, she is somewhat offset by the season's best new character, the deliciously manipulative Henry Gale. Brilliantly underplayed by Michael Emmerson, Gale's scenes are the most riveting part of the season. You won't what he does, and yet you can't help but marvel at just how expertly his mindgames trick the other characters into doing exactly what he wants.
Although it is not as good as the first season, Season 2 of LOST still has a lot to offer. They don't come as frequently as you'd like, but you will get answers to some plot threads leftover from last season. And it's still fun to try and glean as much information as possible from every visual hint and cryptic piece of dialogue. The interactions between the main cast (particularly the Jack-Kate-Sawyer love triangle and the science vs. faith feud embodied in Jack and Locke) continue to be fascinating and expertly acted. The run of episodes leading up to the season finale is tension filled and has more than a few surprise deaths. And the production values and on-location filming continue to be breathtaking.
This set also comes with a decent set of extras, although I do question their choice of which episodes to do commentaries on (the ones chosen seem neither particularly good or important to the plot). Overall, fans will not regret buying this set, even if it doesn't quite live up to the admittedly high standard set by season 1.
