This is what you expect it to be. A blu-ray release of a TV show from several years ago. The video looks better than standard DVD, but its better within the limitations of the camera equipment that was used at the time.
The sound is great though. Thats really where any Blu-Ray really shines no matter what the source material.
There are extras over the DVD release. They included a bunch of promotional features that were only available on extra DVDs relaesed through retailers and media companies.
The Blu-Ray exclusive Extras are: Lost On Location “The Other 48 Days”, Lost on Location “What Kate Did”. There are are also five deleted scenes previously not available in the DVD: Good With Kids, Scissors, Kate’s Choice, The Saw and Giving Care.
On the downside, there is no booklet or physical extras with the Discs. They don’t even provide an episode list with titles in the packaging which is really annoying given the amount of content on the Discs. They also waste lots of physical space on the media to pad things out to seven discs.
Its virtue is that its cheap. There is a mail-in form included with the package for $20 back if you own the DVD version of season one or season two. After gouging people on season four, the rebates are very much appreciated.

***** SOME SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN THE SEASON YET******
Lost season 2 had alot to live up to. Season 1 was a dynamic debut for a show that captured my imagination right from the get go with the ‘monster’ crashing through the jungles in the “Pilot” episode. But, for all the upside of season 2, it just didn’t ever seem to get on track. There were some struggling, worthless storylines here that didn’t add anything to the overall story arc of the show. However, there were some upsides: we finally get to see the hatch, we meet new characters (Desmond, “Henry Gale”, and the tailies), we get a glimpse of The Others, and some more questions along with a few answers.
I personally would’ve hated this show if I had watched it on television. Luckily, I got into Lost late so I watched this on DVD (and now blu-ray) so I didn’t have to wait for weeks to pass for a new episode or watch reruns. So if you turned the show off and gave up, try it again here. It also helps that it looks pretty damn good on blu-ray. There are some areas where it is extremely grainy, but most of the time it is great looking.

“Fire + Water: Anatomy of an Episode” (31:46)
A great look at making an episode and how far in advance some of the ideas are. From the writer’s room to set design, this is a great way to see all the effort that goes into the smallest of scenes. I just wish they would’ve chose a different episode to follow. “Fire + water” is the worst episode of season 2, so it seems puzzling.
“Lost: On Location” (62:52
13 different looks at certain episodes. usually these are focused on a certain scene of an episode. Not the most entertaining, but has a very production oriented feel to it. So if you like learning about cameras and set designs, this will probably be a favorite of yours.
“The World According Sawyer” (4:31)
Saawyer and the cast talk about some classic Sawyer sayings and comments.
“The Lost Flashbacks” (3:25)
Just three flashacks here, none of which are worthwhile. Completely useless addition here.
“Deleted Scenes” (21:50)
19 deleted scenes. Much better than the absymal season 1 deleted scenes, but still nothing that needs to be scene or watched to understand anything concerning the mythos of the show.
“Lost Bloopers” (4:05)
Exactly what it sounds like.
“Channel 4 UK Promo” (1:06)
A really great piece of work here. Too bad it’s only one minute, but it’s still a fresh look at Lost in a way that I never thought they would (or could) pull off. It’s a neat piece.
“Lost Connections” (no time)
A confusing, difficult to navigate game that shows you all the connections between the characters. This could’ve beena great feature, but they really screwed up the presentation and the functions of it. Alot of people will get frustrated and turn this off very quickly.
“Mysteries, Theories & Conspiracies” (10:17)
Sounds interesting, but it really isn’t. I was looking forward to see what secrets would be discussed, but all that’s covered is what fans and TV personalities think. Very disappointing to say the least.
“Secrets from the Hatch” (15:47)
Another feature that has a great name and made me eager to watch, but quickly disappointed me (as did alot of the features here). Secrets from the Hatch… what a crock. All they cover is the making of the hatch, some items in the hatch and how they wanted it to look. It is interesting, but needs a different name.
The commentaries are give and take. “What Kate Did” is a terrible commentary as Josh Holloway (in his first commentary) does little talking and Evangeline Lilly just giggles away. “Man of Science, Man of Faith” and “The 23rd Psalm” are the best of the set because they include Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse (and Jack Bender on “Man of Science”) and they actually give useful information.
If you have Lost season 2 on DVD you might not need to upgrade this set. I own both and I was a little disappointed by what they give you here with the blu-ray release. Especially since this set came out years after the DVD I figured they would’ve loaded this up with features, but I was wrong. And for the love of god, where is the booklet?! The DVD version has a booklet, but not the blu-ray? Why? Now fans have to just guess – or look up online – what episodes are on what disc. Completely ridiculous. Feels kind of like a quick cash in special feature wise, but the show is terrific (but so far the worst season of the first five).
9.2/10 “OUTSTANDING”
Rating: 5 / 5
It was bound to happen — after a breathtaking first season, expectations were high for the continuation of “Lost,” a creepy, semi-mystical series with a checkered cast and an exotic island setting.
“Lost’s” second season builds on the story of the first season, picking up where it left off. Though it has some flaws — a bit of bad casting and some lag in the “island” stories — it’s still intriguing and eerie, and solves old mysteries as it introduces new ones, with shocking twists on characters you thought you knew.
As the season opens, Locke, Kate and Jack finally enter the mysterious hatch. But they didn’t count on finding a concrete bunker, a button that might postpone doomsday — and a frantic man who is very familiar to Jack. Meanwhile, Michael, Sawyer and Jin manage to make it back to the island — and are promptly captured by a band of strangers.
These people turn out to be castaways from the fallen plane’s tail section, led by the suspicious Ana Lucia (Michelle Rodrieguez). They make the trek to the opposite side of the island, but as they arrive, Ana makes a fatal mistake — she shoots Shannon. Nice way to start integrating the groups.
As the season goes on, new personal crises arise when Locke loses faith in the island, Michael goes off to find Walt, Hurley falls in love with one of the tailies, Claire explores what happened to her during her “missing month,” and Sawyer scores an unexpected coup which gets him all the guns in the camp.
As the season goes on, things start to heat up. The mysterious French woman gives an “Other” she trapped over to Sayid, but is he really an enemy, or just an innocent castaway? And as Locke and Eko discover the true purpose of the hatches, one of the lost returns to the camp — and treachery is guiding the castaways into a trap…
“Lost”‘s second seasons started out strong and thrilling, then hit a dead spot for a few episodes, before picking back up again. While the middling episodes are solid enough, the best parts are at the start and finish, where the writers throw several shocking twists into the storyline.
The mystery of the island itself is not solved — the presence of the mysterious Dharma Corporation is revealed. But the corporation doesn’t explain how the island has healing powers. Some answers are revealed, and some mysteries simply get more complex. On the character backstory front, the castaways’ problems still haunt them, from imaginary friends to torture to drugs.
The returning cast continues the compelling job they did in the first season, especially Dominic Monaghan, Evangeline Lilly, Daniel Dae Kim, Naveen Andrews, and Jorge Garcia, who all get their pasts raked up again; the actors do a magnificent job with guilt, sorrow, longing, and love. In fact, all of them do a good job, including ex-star Maggie Grace, who manages to make us actually LIKE Shannon in her final episode.
As for the “tailies,” there are good and bad choices. Michelle Rodrieguez was an appalling choice, since her butch ex-cop is the same character she’s been doing for years. But on the flip side is Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, who quickly won fans’ hearts as the spiritual Mr. Eko, a mysterious and dangerous priest/drugrunner. Think a Christian counterpart to Locke’s animist believer.
The extras are a fairly good bunch — the video and sound are beautifully spruced up, and it has deleted scenes, a bunch of featurettes (on everything from the awesome Sawyer to the strange theories that the show provokes), Easter eggs, audio commentary with writers, directors and actors, cut flashbacks sneak peeks, bloopers, and so on and so forth.
“Lost” stumbled a bit in the middle of the second season, but regained its footing for shocking, explosive episodes leading up to the finale. If only all second seasons were as good as this.
