 Travesty of a Final Season - Sep 13, 2010

Don't buy this season; don't reward poor storytelling. The writers really dropped the ball here. It's not so much the lack of answers (although that is quite annoying) as it is the near total dissolution of the plot in seasons 1-5. How can a show take major plot arcs such as Ben and Widmore's War and push them into the background? As the season progressed, every character we once thought powerful in the realm of the mythology proved to be quite trivial and powerless - Ben, Widmore, and even Jacob. Please. This is bad writing, plain and simple. The dialogue was terrible, as was the inert pacing of most of the episodes. More happened in five episodes of season 5 than happened this entire season. Biggest disappointment in television history.

"Well, we don't have a way to wrap up the show you've been watching the past 5 years, so here's something else." That's season 6 in a nutshell. The producers tried pathetically to justify what they did this season by claiming the show was about the characters all along, a debate that has divided fans more than any other show I've ever heard of. Darlton, I will boycott every film and show you are involved in for the rest of my life, and will encourage others to do the same.

 The writers got Lost - Sep 13, 2010

My wife and I just wrapped up watching the entire series over the past two weeks on Netflix and final season on DVD since we never saw Lost until after the series was over. We were addicted from the pilot. Then came season 6. It was lame. The writers lost their minds and their way. We're left with too many important unanswered questions. What happened to the remaining Oceanic 6? What did the alternate reality have to do with anything? It's sad that a mega million dollar production can't hire competent writers to wrap up the series with a punch. It had so much going for it. They blew it. Frankly, I think they were fat and tired. They burned out after 5 seasons, were paid well and wanted to move on, but perhaps they had contracted for 6 seasons. Argh...!!!! What happened to Ben? Desmond? Desmond was "special too". Richard? Widmore? What was Widmore's goal? Just kill/contain the MIB? Maybe to control or take advantage of the island's energy to make big profits. Clearly from the finale, we learn how MIB becomes the smoke monster, but huh? Does that mean he is now the devil and will kill all of humanity if left off the island? Come on... Why didn't Jacob interview the candidates if he needed to pass the torch. Jacob sure is a poor communicator. And what is this island energy source and what does it do to people who enter it--just make them evil? Sigh... It would at the very least been satisfying to see how Jack took over Jacob's role (who didn't want the burden). Jack never understood what his purpose was on the island that we can tell. There's so much more to complain about, but what's the point? Thanks, JJ Abrams and crew for 5 great seasons. It really was terrific, but we could have done without season 6. Heck, even *I* could writer a better season 6 and finale. Hire me. The writers just clearly gave up. Can you tell we feel a bit gypped? Deeply unsatisfying ending. I can't wait for Star Trek 2.

 Why waste 6 seasons? - Sep 11, 2010

What started out as a great series eagerly followed by fans was made into a mockery by this last season. It is as if the writers all quit and then the producer told everyone to wrap it up in a hurry and they developed a quick, unsatisfying ending. Rather they had made a 2 hour movie if that was the intended way of the ending.

 BEST SHOW EVER - Sep 09, 2010

This is literally the best show of all time. Don't listen to the retards with 1 star reviews. If you're too stupid to understand the ending of a show after watching it for six seasons, you should just kill yourself instead of writing negative reviews. If you haven't watched LOST or haven't watched season 6 of LOST, BUY IT NOW. Seriously, it's the best.

 Whaaaa .... ? - Sep 09, 2010

OK. I can cut the Lost writers some slack because it is one of the best TV shows of all time.
But "The End" of Season 6 was disappointing when aired, and again watching the Blu-Ray. I was hoping I'd missed something, but alas.
So when did they all actually "die"? In the initial crash or with the bomb? Shannon was not near the bomb, but she re-appears as one of the "chosen". If they all died in the initial crash, then is the reference to "all their time together is the most important part of their 'lives'" a la the island as a purgatory?
I mean, GEEZ! "They're all really dead." That's the ending we've all been waiting for? An eighth-grader could have written that sappy ending. And while I'm at it, TOO MUCH WHINY VIOLIN MUSIC.
But up to the last episode, 5 stars.

 Bittersweet and Generally Unsatisfying - Sep 08, 2010

Prior to season 6, I would have rated Lost as a 5 star show without question. Despite a few weak singular episodes from seasons 1-5, all in all I loved this show and was a HUGE fan. Perhaps obsessively so, I read all the episode recaps (Doc Jensen being my favorite), looked for spoilers and often debated/chatted with friends, family and co-workers over this amazing show. I defended its honor when people would question the direction or label it confusing. I had, up until "The End", a lot of confidence in Cuse & Lindelof as writers.

Despite my increasing worry throughout season 6, I kept the faith right up until the finale. I will say that "Across the Sea", did almost put the nail in the coffin, but I still wanted to believe there would come an "ah ha" moment when it would all tie together. I was even willing to allow a few things unanswered questions or things left open to interpretation, but I never expected them to end the show in such a cliché' manner. I also never thought they would end the series without telling us what the island was. "A Cork" is not an answer, it's a cop out!

I also felt the sideways world ended up being completely useless and I was baffled that our Losties would choose a multi-denomination church, instead of beach, as their final meeting place. Jacob and MIB ultimately, despite a lot of indication that they were, ended up to be of little importance to the overall story. Honestly, as it turned out these fine actors played out to be more filler then storyline. There we were at the end of the road and the whole story of these two is that their non-mother was crazy and one brother flushed the other down the golden island toilet, thus turning him into the smoke monster. Huh?

After a lot of careful consideration, I've drawn my own final conclusion in an attempt to provide some personal satisfaction. I believe the writer's either had another ending in mind and for some reason couldn't pull it off. Or they lied and never really knew how to end the show. But here is the kicker, if you didn't know how to end the series or how to answer questions that you posed in the first place, why not go for another season? I'm sure ABC would have loved to milk Lost for all it's worth. You didn't do your show or your legions of loyal fans any justice by wrapping it up to absurdly. We didn't need Dogan, Lennon or the sideways world at all. We didn't need Sun to stop speaking English for no apparent reason or Shannon to come back for ha ha's. What fans wanted was answers, conclusion and a little something to think about when it was all over.

And hey, if you wanted to go all religious, why not have the island be purgatory all along? Sure everyone guessed it in Season 1, but at least it would have made all the island nonsensical stuff somewhat believable. The audience could have chalked up the millions of unanswered questions as part of some ultimate soul test. Instead you ended the show with footage of the plane crash and then came back and said it was just for fun, no relevance, the island was after all, "real"! Jimmy Fallon said best during the 2010 Emmy's, "I didn't understand it, but I tried."

 Great show. Bad ending. - Sep 08, 2010

I will preface this review by stating that I did love this show. It ranks as one of my favorites of all time. I won't allow the ending to take away from that. Lost was that unique show that one would wait for each week with baited breath. With that in mind, I just can't find reason to excuse the finale. The show was about characters, yes, but it also was about the mysteries of the island. One cannot ignore that. To simply end the series with an "Oh the island is magic" just does not suffice. All of the mysteries amounted to nothing more than Jacob's rules for said island. There might as well have been unicorns and elves living on the island as nothing that occurred was ever going to be explained by the writers anyway. I have spent much time pondering over the ending and only now was I able to articulate what I felt. The actors wrtr essentially what elevated the show above the material. But the story itself amounted to nothing much. I enjoyed the journey, but the destination proved to be a major disappointment.

 So Very Sad..... - Sep 08, 2010

I'm not going to repeat all the problems and praises of this series but suffice to say.....So Very Sad.

 The Purpose of The Island - Sep 07, 2010

Spoilers below.

The idea of destroying the Island by bombs to prevent subsequent things from happening can never work. The purpose of the Island from the outset is to ensure tight custody of hell from breaking loose whereas the purpose of the guardian and candidates is to protect it. They are never meant to escape from the Island and definitely not to wipe it out from the surface of the earth by bombs. We can tell the Island is still intact and there is no signs of holocaust when they woke up on the Island in 2007 right after the bombing.

Things got complicated when Jacob laid down the rule : all his candidates will not be told of the reasons behind their painful experiences. They have to figure it out by themselves along the way.

Charles Widmore and his wife have been obsessed by the mysterious power of the Island eversince their youth. They certainly don't want the Island to be destroyed by Mr Blacksmoke. Jacob most probably made a deal with them along with a plan to destroy Mr Blacksmoke by Jack, Desmond and their fellowship. Somehow, Jacob is the only person fully aware of the mechanism of the heart of the Island, among other things, Jack and Desmond's abilities to resist strong electromagnetic current without injuries.

Jacob's twin brother was forbidden to leave the Island by his stepmother because the secret of the Island had been revealed to him and it could not be spread into the outside world. But in the end, Mr Blacksmoke must never leave the Island because now he is evil.

Even when the Island began to fall apart, its mysterious power turn Mr Blacksmoke into a mortal being.

I am not surprised that Jack most likely survives in the end.
After having the sacred drink, now Jack is like Jacob. We can see he survived the strong electromagnetic current. He even managed to get out from the cave all by himself and walked a long way to the bamboo field to lay down to rest. When Vincent the dog appeared, I bet Rose and Bernard won't be far away just in time to save Jack.

Since there is no more Mr Blacksmoke and the threat to the Island is now gone, I strongly believe Kate and James will regroup and return to the Island with Penny. Afterall, the code of fellowship is "No one is left behind".

Newborns on the Island are special. But are they a blessing or a threat to the Island ? Ben's daughter Alex had been killed and Sun's daughter was not born on the Island, leaving Aaron to be the only child born on the Island. Will Aaron become another Jacob or another Blacksmoke ?

Apparently the unanswered mysteries of the Island will not be fully explained. We have to find out all the answers ourselves, perhaps from a new series of Lost.

Anyway, Lost definitely deserves a better ending and a new series of adventures surrounding the original Island world irrespective of what happened in the make-believe world which is too good to be true.

 Swindle at the end - Sep 07, 2010

This how began as a great science-fiction oriented show. Action paced, amazing acting, big budget. But, already in Season Three, it was clear (to me, at least) that the writers did not know where they were going.

Also, the producers probably turned the process of casting into a big money game. That's the simple explanation for the huge quantity of characters, even new ones appearing in Season Six! (you can almost visualize the scene: an agente asking the producers: "How much to I pay to get my client in the show?")

The producers sensed they got a steady following and (rightly so, judging the so many great reviews) thought they could get away with murder. So, why bothering explaining the "hundreds" of unansewred questions? We just tell them that "what matters is the journey".

To me, the ending was a complete swindle on a faithful audience, one that stuck to the show even after the atrocious Season Three.

 Full circle - Sep 06, 2010

When Lost finally wrapped up its final season back in May, the realizatiion of just what the show's creators had managed to accomplish was not immediately apparent. Lost did not provide a mythology heavy, "aha, so that's what it all means" resolution that pulled all of the mysteries and plot threads from the prior seasons together in a way that suddenly made everything crystal clear. No, what this series had accomplished was something much more remarkable. When the show's title flashed on that solid black background for the final time, the series had come full circle; bringing the audience back to where this amazing journey had started. Lost's creative team had managed to construct a self-contained story arc that spanned 6 seasons, tackled huge themes, built a complex mythology, provided some of the most memorable and complex characters in the history of the medium and incorporated elements of science fiction and fantasy. They also did something even more daring and incredible. They risked critical and fan backlash by ending the series with a finale that appeared to be far too simple for the labrynth of mysteries leading up to it and refused to provide clear cut and easily identifiable answers to those mysteries. Say what you will about the final season of Lost, (and many have) but the writer's ended things on their terms. By doing so, they created something rarely seen on television: an ambitous work of art that is built to stand the test of time.

For those who haven't seen the final season, I won't provide any spoliers regarding the plot. Things pick up following the detonation of the hydrogen bomb by Juliet at the end of Season 5. The purpose of this act was to change the past and make it so that Oceanic 815 never crashed on the island and all of the suffering and loss experienced by the survivors could have been avoided. Right off the bat it appears that the detonation was successful. We are taken aboard flight 815 in the opening scenes of the first episode, "LA X" where it appears that the Losties are en route from Sydney to Los Angeles just as they were at the beginning of the series and none of them seem to know each other or have any knowledge of the events that occured prior to the explosion. But there are some noticable differences. Jack has a scar on his neck, Charlie has short hair, Desmond is on the plane and we learn that Hurley considers himself the luckiest guy in the world. What exactly is going on here? Before we can even begin to theorize on that, the action shifts to the island where it turns out the bomb didn't work. Instead, the explosion has propelled Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Hurley, Sayid, Jin and Juliet from 1977 to the present where they must confront John Locke, or whoever has taken his form, who is recruiting people in an effort to leave the island once and for all.

Season 6 jumps back and forth between these two realities (the scenario in which 815 never crashed is referred to as the flash-sideways) as it moves toward the end. On the island some of the shows key mysteries are answered. We learn what the numbers mean, why the Losties were brought to the island, the true nature of the island, what the smoke monster is, how Richard Alpert ended up on the island and why he never ages and who the skeletons in the cave from Season 1 are. All the while, our heroes must decide whether they will join Locke in his attempt to leave or if they will take a leap of faith and stand against him. Meanwhile, in the flash sideways, we watch as 815 lands safely in Los Angeles and the characters begin to go their separate ways only to find themselves crossing paths with each other again.

I think it's fair to say that this is the most complex and challenging season of Lost. The pacing is considerably slower than in prior seasoons and the epidoses are much more devoted to character development and thematic elements than with the mythology and mysteries. The result can feel like a season that is disconnected from the prior five, but the ties to the rest of the series are there. Season 6 explores the larger themes of fate vs. free will, science vs. faith, destiny, redemption, relligion and love that have always been at the forefront of the series. The flash sideways in particular is rich with these themes as well as the recurring motiff of mirrors. This is important since the characters do a lot of reflecting on their pasts and their flaws. Events in the flash sideways also mirror those on the island while the season itself mirrors Season 1 in terms of the focus on character and theme.

As for the finale, it is a work of sheer beauty and genius. It is deeply moving and satisfying; tragic yet hopeful, happy yet sad and most importantly, it provides an ending as well as a beginning. This is not only the case for the characters, but for the viewers as well since the show encourages us to go back to the start and take the journey all over again because as much as we think we know about the island, the characters and the mysteries, there is still more to be learned. There will always be more to learn and Lost will always exist for current fans as well as future generations who want to take the journey. In the end, that's what Lost was always about: understanding that the answers are not always easily obtainable and that you have to work for them. And your answers may not be the same as the next person's. That's quite an accomplishment for any work of art, and Lost was without question a work of art. John Locke said it best: "We're going to need to watch that again."

 The end of a classic - Sep 06, 2010

So, I am not the biggest fan of how the show ended. It was a little too emotional, or spiritual, or cliche, or something along those lines. I would have preferred they prevented the accident and in another life they lived their lives, became friends through other means, and lived normal lives. Up until the finale, the show could have gone any number of directions. The season still deserves all 5 stars in my opinion. Other than the finale, the season was still amazing and I would recommend it to anybody. Season 6 had some of the best episodes of the series and is a must have for any Lost fan, especially those with the previous 5 seasons. And for those of you who may be curious, the packaging is similar in style to season 5, not the first 4 seasons unfortunately.

 Season 6 - Sep 05, 2010

I have to be honest, after reading so many negative reviews for this season I was nervous to watch it. I have been watching Lost since the 1st season was released onto DVD and have enjoyed it immensely! After watching the 6th season I am completely satisfied with it and the ending. The 6th season wasn't as amazing as some of the others, but it was still great. The series as a whole has been one of the greatest shows I have ever had the pleasure of watching.

 Took turns for the less interesting - Sep 04, 2010

I really enjoyed the first few seasons of Lost but then had gotten away from it. I was excited to get season 6 as a gift. They didn't even try. I would have rather gotten an explanation that I didn't like, rather than them not try at all. Instead we got a incredibly boring season that spun its wheels until the finale, where through some fancy misdirection from the writers, we were told it was always about love and the characters and all that nonsense you can find on any other average tv drama. How silly of us fans to even think it was about mysteries and dialoge and clues? I can't imagine recommending this dvd. It would be painful to rewatch this season I would just like to forget. I loved seasons one and two. . I cut them a lot of slack because I always assumed the story was going somewhere in the end. Felt like it had to be a masterpiece in the making with all the plot components at work. The writers must have a grand plan. The sixth season merely reveals that the whole series was just a bunch of mysteries for mystery sake and they never had a clue what they were doing as writers. The season was really disappointing, they must of needed new writing talent.

 Not for the bitter I suppose - Sep 04, 2010

I had not seen any of season six until I recieved the DVD collection in the mail. It was an amazing journey that left me saddened and thoughtful at the end. Very well thought out with an ending that moves you.

 Don't understand the Negativity! - Sep 03, 2010

I for one loved the final season of the show. I watched the first season snd part of the second season, when they first aired, thinking they were so-so. Years went by and I watched the second season finale at a friends place on dvd. This was my turning point. Season 3 brought Juliet and it's been a roller coaster ride ever since. I also love the fact that all the island's mysteries were not explained. Why would I go back and watch all the episodes if I I already know everything. The island was it's own complex character. It's a shame that many Lost Fans fall into the generic category of wanting all the answer's. Heaven forbid that they think or not have everything handed to them on a silver platter, wrapped in a bow. In conclusion, the last episode was beautiful. I felt my own closure with the show and the series, and can't think of any other way I would have wanted the show to end. Great series that will be terribly missed.

 The Last Act - Sep 03, 2010

The groundbreaking show, that has taken it's audience into a mystified journey tethered on the turfs of fate and coincidence, good versus evil, love and scorn, life and death, finally came full circle with it's long awaited two and a half hours series finale, aptly titled "The End". The ending redefines the essence of television in the 21st century: in which a heavily serialized show abound with complex fabrication manages to entertain, educate and spark enthusiasms in the modern age of blogospheres and the evergrowing like-minded Internet community.


I was brought in for the ride six years ago, not knowing the impact it would have on me. A classical tale about a group of survivors stranded on a mysterious island seems too elaborate and bears little entertainment value. After the pilot aired and when Charlie (the rock-star character who died trying to safe his friends from an impending doom in the third season of the show) asked with a puzzling look on his face: "Guys, where are we?" - the hook was set almost immediately.


LOST is inventive in its own indefinite genre, hallmarked by its shrewd devices in storytelling. It is artful without looking down on its audience and doesn't, in return, demands anything from them. Instead it did the direct opposite by having the writers to playfully sprinkle the implications of science, religion, philosophy, psychology, literature and history throughout the show, indirectly confounding the audience and consequently brought about an off-the-wall change in regards to the way a TV show is being dissected. Critics have been religiously analyzing, hard-core fans created their own theories, casual fans speculated, tweeted and blogged about their personal views. LOST has gradually amassed a modern and vocal audience unlike any other.


It must be said that to be a LOST viewer, one has to regard oneself as a freak. To miss an episode is like sinking into obscured territories. Mysteries after mysteries started to evolve and answers tend to pratfall and delved into hiding as the series propels. But once it progresses to a definite end date, some of the important answers finally began to reveal itself, often poignantly and at times off the mark, disproving the loyal fan's speculations. Indeed, no show would be able to please every single viewer, hence the ending eventually brought about two conflicting camps: the ones who were fully satisfied and the others who felt somewhat robbed. I for once believe that the journey is much sweeter than the final destination.


LOST can be seen as a convoluted piece of art, a poetry that disguises itself as an enigma and a tapestry of a magnified question-mark. It fills itself with perceptive contraptions and perplexing materials that breaks away from the one-sided school of narrative exercises. Game-changers and cliffhangers aplenty, it tends to throw audience into all sorts of direction but not dispossessing them. LOST provides a platform for similar genre to flourish, but alas they meet their demises (Heroes and FlashForward for examples). It is one of the earliest shows to truly put forth an international casting, a show not afraid to break all the safe episodic TV rules and even more unafraid to bring in politically-incorrect characters (Republican Guard torturer, anyone?) into the intricate scheme.


When seen from a broader perspective, it is a show that talks about life in its basic entity, about you and me, about the castaways burdened with various issues: parental, personal as well as emotional. Flashbacks on their private lives created windows of opportunity for the viewers to slip into their past and see how these people react to the ongoing island events. The past tends to build the foundation of who these characters are, and their decisions on the present often parallels the story of their past. The beauty (or ugliness) of LOST lies in the anecdotes and development of these troubled characters, and they were done by not resorting to the usually trite soap-opera motives. Even when nonessential episodes like Exposé tend to hinder the show's momentum, they are good storytelling on its own.


The mythological and scientific parts of LOST are one of the aspects that took TV to a whole new level. Not wanting to back down or conform to the exposition in a common heroes-versus-villains syllabus, the writers gave the setting (in this case the mythical island) it's own historical storyline, at the same time peppering pseudo-methodical topics that goes way beyond our heads, such as time-travel, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, pregnancy among others. Mixed these into the characters' interconnectivity beats and you have a contemporary saga flashes before your eyes.


Too much have been said about LOST and many more are bound to surface after the series greets it's final curtain call. Missing the show is an oversimplification, but yes, there will be no shows (not right away, I guess) that are able to fill the vacuum in this self-named geek who loves mystery-laden parables invigorated with character back-stories and thematic allusions. Like reading a good fiction, the end is bittersweet.

 what does it mean ?!?!? - Sep 03, 2010

awesome untill the 5th season...then what ? what is this 6th season ? what does it mean ???

 Cheese Fest Extraordinaire - Sep 02, 2010

"The island it was mythical, but in the end they died. I didn't understand it, but I tried."

Jimmy Fallon chose a song titled: "Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)" for his backhanded Lost tribute.

IMO that says it all. I'm using my S1-S3 DVD's as coasters. Wasted potential, wasted characters and a waste of time! Good riddance indeed.

 Blu-ray: The final season is quite subjective to the viewer but for fans of the series, a solid release on Blu!!!! - Aug 31, 2010

I'm not going to go through the plot of "LOST" but want to focus on the overall Blu-ray. By saying that, I did enjoy this sixth season and loved the finale. But again, I've debated this enough on "The Fuselage" and other forums to know that this series and its finale has striked a chord among the viewers (positive and negative). Here is my feelings of the overall Blu-ray release of "Lost - The Complete Sixth Season - The Final Season" (note: Didn't find many easter eggs this time around on the BD release).

VIDEO:

"Lost - The Complete Sixth Season - The Final Season" is a series that looks incredible on High Definition. Featured in 1080p High Definition (aspect ratio of 1:78:1), the detail of the island is captured quite vibrantly. The green lush plants that surround the island, the blue skies, the blue ocean. Personally, most of the video footage shot in Hawaii tend to be vibrant in colors and "LOST" is no exception. This final season's offering continues its wonderful presentation on Blu-ray. You can see the skin pores much more closely, even the stubble or sweat on the faces of the characters, the mucky water, detail of the plants in the dense jungle, the rocky earthtones, the brownish/reds inside the Dharma buildings and just regular objects, the stained blood on the skin of the characters, you can actually see that the blood is actually dry and much, much more.

There is a lot of detail that you just don't see on television and when you see it on Blu-ray, especially for "Lost - The Complete Sixth Season - The Final Season", you can't help but be amazed. The colors are just fantastic as blue oceans and blue skies are surrounded by beautiful lush greenery. Blacks are nice and dark and skin tones are natural.

Another wonderful presentation of "Lost" on Blu-ray!

AUDIO & SUBTITLES:

As for the audio, "LOST" is featured in DTS HD-Master Audio 5.1. The dialogue is quite clear but one thing that caught my attention is how magnificent the audio is in terms of capturing the ambiance of the island when each person is moving through the jungle. This season tends to have used more panning and audio directional to certain speaker channels much more evident than the first season. Also, sounds of the smoke monster and the growls to the ambiance of the island, explosions, earthquakes, the chanting of the voices of the island and if anything, they really went all out in destruction and chaos with this latest season.

Audio comes quite clear through the various surround channels. Also, good use of surrounds and LFE. Dialogue is crisp, clear and understandable and the music also comes out alive during certain scenes.

I love how the music for the series sounds and how it really brought an overall mood to certain scenes. The music by Michael Giacchino and the way the orchestra creates that tension for the scenes was awesome. So, music plays a big part in the series and the music soundtrack is just wonderful! So, once again, "Lost - The Complete Sixth Season - The Final Season" delivers in lossless audio. Fantastic!

Subtitles are featured in English SDH, French and Spanish.

SPECIAL FEATURES:

DISC 5:

* Lost University: Master's Program - For those who have Blu-ray 2.0 profile players and are hooked up to the Internet can be part of Lost University. An excerpt from the explanation of "Lost University": Viewers will be able to join LOST executive producers Carlton Cuse, Damon Lindelof, the cast of "LOST," and a panel of esteemed experts for a vast array of courses at LOST University, delving into the themes and storylines regularly explored on the groundbreaking television series. The main campus of "LOST University" will live on the "LOST: The Complete Fifth Season" Blu-ray disc and will be powered by BDLive. Upon launching the innovative interface, students immediately get access to their personalized lesson plans, compelling HD Audio-Visual presentations and communication from the LOST University faculty and staff. Like any real university, campus life at LOST University is not solely focused on higher learning, pop quizzes and homework. Through an extended web experience, students will be able to pay visits to the campus bookstore to purchase LOST U merchandise, or discuss their school experience and "LOST" theories through study-groups on the LOST University message boards. Potential students will even have the opportunity to prep for the LOST U experience in advance on [...] with story and character refresher courses and advanced reading suggestions.

With that being said, I did try out a few classes, watched a few professors (actual college professors) give their lectures on several subjects such as literature and then I took two exams on the first day. I actually like the concept of how the Lost University is implemented on the Blu-ray releases and probably one of the best uses of BD-Live thus far. The video streaming was fine and I didn't have any problems with this feature at all.

JUDGMENT CALL:

"Lost" was an amazing experience since the beginning. Meeting new friends and debating topics that I have never done with a TV series before, it was just a fantastic ride with its ups and downs and each episode just capturing my attention and for the most part, just embracing everything that had come out. From the audio books, the web episodes, the videogame, the podcasts, the magazine, you name it...I was loving every minute of "Lost" and what the writers had to provide for us.

And then it came to this final season and I admit that the flash-sideways episodes were a bit confusing. In fact, I was wondering where this was all heading and right after each episode, I would head to the Fuselage to see how everyone else was interpreting these flash-sideways storylines. Was I missing something? Was I not enjoying these flash-sideways as much and I was more into the original timeline?

But the more we got into the series and to see how Desmond had this connection between the two timelines, I just started to have this silly grin on my face while watching this series because we had a sense that Desmond had to play an important part in this series and then things slowly started to unravel.

But then the original timeline also started to unravel and we didn't know who would turn evil, we don't know what would happen with Sayid and what will happen between Jack, Kate and Sawyer. And for me, I was so happy to see Jin and Sun back together but then to find myself devastated and sad after watching "The Candidate" where favorite characters we have followed for years, were killed off. We knew something was going to happen, we just didn't know who. And I admit, I was so bummed out, it affected me the day after.

And then it was time for the final episode and I just felt it was the most fantastic ending for a series on television that I have seen. Granted, the final episode had a lot to do with faith and if anything, your appreciation for the series as a whole. I found myself going online and having to explain the finale to so many people. But it was quite interesting to read of how the finale affected people. Many, like myself, who absolutely loved it and then those who were upset with the finale and a lot of loose ends not being tied up.

And here we are with the Blu-ray release of "Lost - The Complete Sixth Season - The Final Season". Hyped by many publications and even brought up on the night after the finale on the Jimmy Kimmel "Lost" special about how Executive Producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof will tie up those loose ends on the Blu-ray and DVD release. So, needless to say, many fans of the series have been awaiting this release. And with all said and done, the 12-minute epilogue was satisfying. It may not answer all questions but it does answer the question that relates to Walt (and also the polar bears).

Like every previous release of "Lost" we are treated with a good amount of special features. I wish there were more audio commentary featured (especially for the final episode) and I wish the web episodes or even the Jimmy Kimmel special was included on this Blu-ray but overall, you do get many special features like the previous season box sets and you also get the latest version of "Lost University" (note: you must have a Blu-ray 2.0 player to play this. So, if your Blu-ray is connected to the Internet, you can view this feature).

As for the Blu-ray release of "Lost - The Complete Sixth Season - The Final Season", the picture quality is again, amazing. The detail can be easily seen on Blu-ray and things that never caught my attention when watching the episodes on television, have now caught my attention this time around. From the skin pores and even the hair on one's arm, to the lush plants and the coarse rocks, the blood, the sweat... the amount of detail that pops is simply amazing. Audio quality is also used very well through all channels and because we see the smoke monster quite a bit and also quite a bit of explosions and destruction in this final season, lossless audio was well utilized and sounds fantastic on Blu-ray.

Overall, this series was a fitting conclusion to this fantastic series. Many months since the conclusion of the series, people continue to debate the series finale and I'm sure with the epilogue, there are people who will continue to debate the series throughout the rest of the year.

But in the end, the series did touch millions of people worldwide. May they be content or upset of how the series unfolded throughout the six seasons, it's all subjective. But overall, for me, I was quite content with how the series played out from beginning to end. Do I still have questions in regards to the series? I sure do (especially when it comes to the characters of Eloise and Jacob). But on the grand scale of how the writers resolved many of the important questions of the series, I was content with how the final season played out and I admit to feeling a bit saddened that this series, which had become a favorite of mine for six years, is now over.

"Lost" is definitely the most compelling, entertaining and enthralling drama series to air on television and the cast and crew made sure to end the series on a positive note. If you have purchased all seasons on Blu-ray, this is a no-brainer and easily a must-buy. Highly recommended!

 Special Features are worth it! - Aug 31, 2010

Thought the season was pretty good overall, but this review is mainly for the DVD collection. After watching all the special features I must say they are worth it! Answers a few questions I had as a die hard fan! Enjoyed seeing the cast and crew work together. Great show! Very Memorable, worthy of your time and money!

 Completely Satisfied! - Aug 30, 2010

I feel like a king having been to a sumptous dinner after having watched this series! I am quite satisfied!

If you have watched this show episode to episode on TV, it really is much better watching them without interruptions on DVDs. You'll get alot more out of it.

There are a great many positive things that I can say about this show. Allow me to say that if you haven't watched any of the show and are still deciding, it is well worth your watching! If you don't want to spend the money, you can always opt to rent it.

What Lost is all about, I believe, is summarized quite beautifully from the episode, "The Moth" from season 1. Again, if you're still trying to decide, I recommend that you watch this episode and if strikes a chord with you, you'll probably enjoy the series.

It seems that many people are polarized by season 6. I think the authors did a fine job laying out for us all the inner mysteries that needed to be tied up. People can make a mistake by trying to read too much into something that simply isn't there. I think we should take at face value what happened throughout season 6. I don't believe there's any "hidden" mysteries nor do I feel that the writers left out any important details. Some characters were written out of the story because of their lack of popularity most notably Walt. But, let it go. His story isn't the main one nor is it critical to the overall thematic elements of the series. Sure, it would have been nice to see more of our favorite characters. For me, I would have loved to see Mr. Eko again. But really, this is the writers' fantasy that we're getting to be a part of. We don't dictate it to them.

Anyways, that aside. This is the best writing I've seen in any movie or TV show. The kind of professionalism that we would expect of first rate movies is the kind that the writers, actors, sound engineers, musicians, directors, costumes department, and so on display. And all this talent serves to lift up a storyline that is compelling, exciting, full of emotion, and also highly relatable.

This, I believe, is the show's pinnacle beauty, that it is about the spiritual journeys of growth of ordinary real life people. We can all relate to these characters because some of us are just like them. How many of us are a Jack Shephard or a timid but lovable Hurley? How many of us have experienced the isolation of addiction that Charlie struggles with? Or perhaps, we know all to well of what it is like to be a confused young woman waking up one day to find out that she's now a mother just like Claire? Even the "bad guys" are real people with real stories and real problems. The characters' struggles are the kinds we have or have yet to make. And finally, the promise of redemption is what makes these struggles so worth it. Just like when Charlie overcame his herion addiction, when Benjamin Linus got his needed second chance from Hugo, and even when Jack Shephard finally was able to let go and let life happen.

This is the stuff of good stories. And this is the kind of stuff worth watching.

Thank you,
Cleat

 right up till the end - Aug 30, 2010

first off let me say this,LOST is an amazing show to be on network tv. it is probably one of the best ever on abc,nbc,or cbs.
i did not watch one episode the entire time,preferring to wait for the dvd. the dvds are stunning. great picture and vibrant colors. i got caught up in this show and give every season but 6 five stars, i would have given season 6 a better rating if not for the ending, i mean, come on, this is the exact ending we all HOPED wouldn't happen, right? so cliche, certainly not up the the standards the show had set right up to that point. but ending a great dramatic show must be very difficult.
i can only think of two that ended with grace and the dignity that the shows deserved. they were SIX FEET UNDER and BATTLESTAR GALACTICA. LOST, at least in my mind, deserved a better ending. does that negate the entire series?
hardly! this was a very good dramatic series. i certainly looked forward to getting each new season on dvd, usually watching it in four or five nights. i was very into it. i highly recommend it.
i just wish they had reached beyond the TWILIGHT ZONE and OCCURENCE AT OWL CREEK to find a more fitting and creative, as well as maybe give a few explanations, ending. apparently, from reading other reviews, many people are happy with the ending, and that is fine. also, there are many people who feel very ripped off by the ending. i can understand that.
in a nutshell...i loved the series. i do no care for the ending and had definately hoped for something different. the writers really seem to have taken the most obvious course to end the show and that is exactly what i had hoped they would not do.

 Filled with sound and fury, signifying nothing. - Aug 30, 2010

Aside from a couple of interesting episodes this season had to have been the biggest letdown in television history.

Dozens of intriguing plot lines leading nowhere. No. Really. Nowhere. It's not open to interpretation.

The saving grace coming from the privilege of watching great actors such as Michael Emerson and Terry O'Quinn.

We hoped for depth. We hoped for intelligence. We believed that we were about to witness something that had never been achieved in television before. Instead, the writers shamelessly led a dedicated audience of six years into a abyss of absurdity.

A 10-year-old child could have written a better ending.

After discussing the last season with friends, the conclusion we came to was that the name Lost could only stand for the hours we lost trying to make sense of a story that made no sense.

There are worse things in life. Still, it is a shame to see a unique show with so much potential meet such a pathetic ending.

Season 6 of Lost? One of Shakespeare's great quotes comes to mind: It is a tale told by an idiot, filled with sound and fury, signifying nothing.

 The only decent season of this wretched show! - Aug 29, 2010

I'll be honest with you, I used to hate this show. I thought the title Lost was an allusion to the plot, because that's what it left me. Lost. Boring, bad plots, bad characters, bad acting. The only thing 'bad' that this show was missing was Michael Jackson. Get it? Because he's 'bad.' lol.

However, at the constant urging of my, ahem, significant other, this is where I continued to spend my Tuesday afternoons. Glued tot he TV watching Lost. Finally when season 6 rolled around I started to get into it. They fixed all the annoying plot devices and the acting improved.

I can't wait until the next season comes out! Hopefully it will live up to this one. In the mean time, stick to good TV serials such as The Young and the Restless, The Jersey Shore, and Car 54 Where are You?
