Editor's Note
Created by successful television producer J.J. Abrams (FELICITY, ALIAS), LOST became one of the most popular and critically acclaimed programs of the 2004-2005 season. Utilizing a ripe premise and well-drawn and acted characters, LOST attracted a huge following and was proclaimed the saving grace of a television year otherwise marred by derivative reality programming. The story concerns the survivors of a terrible plane crash, who find themselves stranded on a tropical island with seemingly little chance of a rescue. Medical doctor Jack takes a position of leadership, helping to rally the survivors and prepare them for a period of difficulty as they learn how to survive on the island. But everything is not as it seems: the island offers potential danger in the form of a large, mysterious creature, and evidence is found that the plane crash may not have been an accident. As they struggle to survive, each of the characters forms alliances and makes enemies while dealing with the unresolved issues of the lives they've left behind. LOST distills the difficulties of society down to their essence, exploring these problems with compelling characters and with a setting that's equal parts paradise and mystery. This release contains every episode from the show's second season, one which avoided the sophomore slump by solving old mysteries, unlocking new ones, developing unexpected frictions and bonds between characters, and heightening the drama overall.

"[T]he show's still addictive; making you howl at the end of each episode as another clue is laid down..." 07/01/2006 p.130Ultimate DVD
4 stars out of 5 -- "This show has everything: compelling character development, immersive mysteries, action and humour." 07/01/2006 p.117 Entertainment Weekly
"[A] slow-burn sociological study of the island's deteriorating group dynamics, as the castaways' already touchy relationships begin to splinter and crack even further..." -- Grade: B 09/08/2006 p.145 Movieline's Hollywood Life
"[I]n its second season the show is still titillatingly tantalizing..." 11/01/2006 p.107 Reel.com 10 of 10
The show is an ambiguous, complex web of possible government conspiracies, secret scientific experiments, and supernatural phenomenon in which one's fantasies and expectations run wild. The audience awaits a mix of suspense, science-fiction, and adventure. And just as one mystery is solved, another crops up in its place...Lost captivates its fans in two ways: There's the psychological aspect, in which we see our main characters facing extreme stress and anxiety, and see how they interact with each other; and there's the mystery, the burning question of whether or not there's a rational explanation for what has unfolded on screen for two seasons. Lost is drenched in conspiracy theories that seem implausible--and almost impossible to explain--unless the entirety of the action is actually taking place inside the mind of a seriously deranged individual (a theory that's been officially refuted by the creators of the show). - Rudy Joggerst
