Lost: The Complete First Season
Reviewed by Dalton Ross



FOUND! Unseen footage and commentaries with cast members like Fox (left) and Harold Perrineau will have fans lunging for Lost on DVD


Okay, we all know this ABC drama rules, so let's just go straight to the EXTRAS. The bonus features are as insanely comprehensive as the show is confusing. Not only do cast and crew contribute five commentary tracks (creator J.J. Abrams explains that Matthew Fox's No. 5 tattoo will become ''a crucial defining character point'' for Jack going forward), but they actually stop the pilot episode occasionally to show behind-the-scenes footage, like a four-ton chunk of flaming airplane engine accidentally falling near actor Dominic Monaghan.

An hour-long series of docs — including a fascinating one on how they bought a plane, destroyed it, and shipped it over to Hawaii — covers nearly every aspect of filming the pilot, while a separate doc goes through the entire season. Locke (Terry O'Quinn) teaches Walt (Malcolm David Kelley) how to spot a liar in one of 13 deleted scenes, and Sayid (Naveen Andrews) goes tie shopping in one of two previously unseen flashbacks. And we could tell you where to find secret audio transmissions from Danielle, as well as an alternate title sequence, but c'mon — what fun would that be?

This show rocks!!!

It's a brilliant idea!

IF your not watching it- your a LOSER!!!

[Grimmy]

That is one hella interesting show!

btw, Jonas, you seem to have all the inside scoop. What IS the big arsed beast thing that hunts those folk?

I know there WAS a polar bear at one time but that's not it..polar bears dont pull down trees and make the ground shake when they walk around. And...What was a polar bear doing on a tropical island anyway?

The beast hasen't been reveiled yet. It attacked them in the last episode. It's invisible. So, who knows. The polar bear is a real polar bear. I think they are on an island in the Bermuda triangle. -And the island is screwing with them!
