Rating:  - LostIf you're a Lost fan, then this season is for you! I always enjoy going back and watching the previous season of Lost before the new season begins. As I went back and watch the 4th season, I picked up LOTS of little details that I didn't notice when this season was airing. It's definately worth the money. :) Rating: - Lost-good dealThis was a gift that was well received. It has the season's shows and extra features. For Lost enthusiasts, it's a winner. Delivery was fast, product and price were excellent. Rating: - Best Show on TV probably ever.Lost is a complex show that has spawned dozens of podcasts and will have a following for the next 30 years easily. It is one of those landmark shows that comes around once a generation and inspires people to achieve new heights in storytelling. Yes there is a small fraction of the viewing audience that stopped watching the show back at the beginning of season two that for some reason hold a grudge. The show is really only for those that like mysteries, and pulling answers from shreds of clues. They say the show hasn't given us answers, but they have. They can't give all the answers or you'd have another show like Heroes that basically gives away the answers in the first season. That's why Heroes is dying, because there is no more mystique. Lost has kept it going and just gets better and better. Season 4 was the season that fans have been waiting for and it was largely born out of the fact that an end date has been set for the show. The next 2 seasons promise to be hugely compelling and the doubters will be left out in the cold. So many people are passionate about this show and there is a reason, but you cannot view this show passively. You have to do the work and read books that appear on the show, talk to other fans and rewatch for the little hints of what is to come. If you prefer force fed entertainment the likes of reality TV or the WB then this show is not for you. But if you don't mind watching closely and with an open mind....this show will suck you in. Rating:  - From a great show to a disasterI absolutely LOVED the first two seasons. Then season 3 started off a little bit uninteresting, but towards the end it got better and better. Now season 4... It's almost unbelievable to me, how a good show could have gotten this bad. As is evident by midseason, when they kill off two characters whose story seemed to matter but now apparently doesn't anymore: The writers have absolutely no idea where they are headed. Or if they do, it's not where the show intended to go in the beginning. The 'war' between this millionaire guy and Ben is so uninteresting it almost hurts. What now seems to be the main story is nothing more than a side story from maybe season 3 or so. Rating:  - Somebody get ME some waterIn all fairness, LOST managed to keep me watching it link after link after link (online), even when I had to study for finals or start excruciatingly long papers. While I found the first and second seasons to be fun and exciting, the show began losing me throughout the third season, and especially the fourth. It started by introducing an array of characters - most of which were so interesting to the point of being just a bit too interesting. Then random plot devices began showing up, and other annoying little things, and they never went away. A few of them really stood out: HOW MANY TIMES did you hear the phrases "Somebody get her/him some water!" "He/she needs water!" after someone was found injured or wounded or whatever..HOW MANY TIMES do we need to hear Locke say "don't tell me what I can't do." HOW MANY TIMES did we need to hear someone say "you don't know me," before getting treated to the wonderful facts about their lives from the others?? Every single sentence uttered by any of the characters is dripping with drama..everything overloaded with passion..too much for me to handle..nothing needs to be THAT dramatic to keep our attention nowadays does it? and forget about the whole visions of dead people thing. I mean, what simpler way is there for a character to figure something out than by making them have a vision of someone or something just telling them what to do? It can't get any easier than that. and this is something they did way too many times throughout the show. Don't know which way to go next? Hey! No Worries! Just get some sleep and some dead person will tell you exactly what to do next! It's like having a drama set in a hospital; scene not dramatic enough? Just bring in someone bleeding to death and shock them and yell CLEAR..that'll have people glued to the screen..at least for the 10-seconds of attention span hollywood seems to think the average viewer now possesses. SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER!!!!!!!! not to mention this wonderful new adventure they started with time travel ugh. how much could these screenwriters possibly know about time travel theories, to feel comfortable enough to incorporate them into their script? But of course, the average viewer won't know much, because the average viewer is not a physicist! how convenient. My knowledge of physics is limited to action and reaction, but I found the whole idea to be a bit fishy. Constants to prevent massive hemorrhaging? Seems more like a literary metaphor than a sci-fi theme to me. But, in the end, it did what a drama should do and entertained me, so kudos to the show for that. But if someone yells for water one more time in season 5, that's it. SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As for the multiple loose ends and questions that get answered 15 episodes later..well, I think that's already been covered. It's easy enough to maintain viewers' interest by posing questions that seem just one episode short of being answered. Would I ever watch LOST again? NO WAY. Each episode was only as good as how much closer it brought me to some bigger "explanation." But do I care to sit through numerous episodes of LOST once again to re-visit how john got in his wheelchair, when I now know it's because of his father? nope. |
