When it aired in 2006-07, Lost's third season was split into two, with a hefty break in between. This did nothing to help the already weirdly disparate direction the show was taking (Kate and Sawyer in zoo cages! Locke eating goop in a mud hut!), but when it finally righted its course halfway through--in particular that whopper of a finale--the drama series had left its irked fan base thrilled once again. This doesn't mean, however, that you should skip through the first half of the season to get there, because quite a few questions find answers: what the Others are up to, the impact of turning that fail-safe key, the identity of the eye-patched man from the hatch's video monitor. One of the series' biggest curiosities from the past--how Locke ended up in that wheelchair in the first place--also gets its satisfying due. (The episode, "The Man from Tallahassee," likely was a big contributor to Terry O'Quinn's surprising--but long-deserved--Emmy win that year.)
Unfortunately, you do have to sit through a lot of aforementioned nuisances to get there. Season 3 kicks off with Jack (Matthew Fox), Kate (Evangeline Lilly), and Sawyer (Josh Holloway) held captive by the Others; Sayid (Naveen Andrews), Sun (Yunjin Kim), and Jin (Daniel Dae Kim) on a mission to rescue them; and Locke, Mr. Eko (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), and Desmond (Henry Ian Cusick) in the aftermath of the electromagnetic pulse that blew up the hatch. Spinning the storylines away from base camp alone wouldn't have felt so disjointed were it not for the new characters simultaneously being introduced. First there's Juliet, a mysterious member of the Others whose loyalty constantly comes into question as the season goes on. Played delicately by Elizabeth Mitchell (Gia, ER, Frequency), Juliet is in one turn a cold-blooded killer, by another turn a sympathetic friend; possibly both at once, possibly neither at all. (She's also a terrific, albeit unwitting, threat to the Kate-Sawyer-Jack love triangle, which plays out more definitively this season.) On the other hand, there's the now-infamous Nikki and Paulo (Kiele Sanchez and Rodrigo Santoro), a tagalong couple who were cleverly woven into the previous seasons' key moments but came to bear the brunt of fans' ire toward the show (Sawyer humorously echoed the sentiments by remarking, "Who the hell are you?"). By the end of the season, at least two major characters die, another is told he/she will die within months, major new threats are unveiled, and--as mentioned before--the two-part season finale restores your faith in the series.
The extras are as well-stocked as a Dharma Initiative food pantry on this seven-disc set. Commentaries by producer Damon Lindelof, show writers, and numerous cast members reveal a whole lot of juicy trivia; plus, the DVDs even provide a subtitle track for the commentary (rarely seen other than on foreign-language director's commentaries) so you won't miss a thing. "Lost Book Club" goes through the parallels between what characters are reading and the show's storylines (The Wizard of Oz and Stephen King are heavily referenced). "Lost: On Location" gives a lot of insight to some of the biggest episodes, and "Lost in a Day" gives a 24-hour glimpse at the drama's arduous production. The Blu-ray version also includes an interactive panel and "Blu-Prints," a series of maps and renderings giving a tour of the island. If you're a Lost fan who gave up during this season, the bonus features alone might lure you back for the next round. --Ellen A. Kim

 2 defective sets from Amazon July 3, 2008
I ordered this set from Amazon and enjoyed it immensely--until I got to disk five, and discovered that it was, unexpectedly, simply a copy of disk one. Amazon replaced the set.... and the new version has the exact same problem. So I've given up on getting a non-defective set from them.....
 LOST in hi-def is great...getting two of the same disc, not so great. June 18, 2008
Being a fan of the show LOST, I greatly anticipated this set, especially because it's on blu-ray, the best that HD has to offer. As I expected the picture was razor sharp and the sound was crystal clear. But watching through the set, Discs 1-4 were fine, just as they should be, but when I popped in disc 5 expecting to watch the next episodes. To my dismay, it was the same content as disc 1, only mislabed as disc 5. Regrettingly I had to send the set back to Amazon for a replacement. Keeping my fingers crossed hoping to finish season 3 of this great series.
 All About The Others June 13, 2008
While the first season of LOST introduced viewers to the important survivors of Oceanic 815, and the second season dealt with what was inside the hatch, the third season dealt primarily with the Others, a mysterious group of people that were on the island long before Oceanic 815 ever crashed on the beach.
This season begins right where the second season left off, with Jack, Kate, and Sawyer as captives of the Others. As the season progresses, we learn more about why the Others only take specific prisoners, what their relationship is to the DHARMA initiative, and how they (most importantly Ben) came to be on the island in the first place. I could go on and on about the dramatic plot twists and turns, but I don't want to ruin anything for you!
Besides the main mysterious plotlines, however, the emotional drama of the show is also ratcheted up a notch. Again, I don't want to ruin any big moments with a slip of the tongue here, but in this season the flashbacks of the "Losties" converge more than ever, as it becomes more and more apparent that the crash of Oceanic 815 was not a random event. More specifically, this season really highlights the Jack/Kate relationship, with some of the most emotional "Jate" moments of the entire show so far. The drama is heightened when Jack finds a new love interest among the Others, while Kate and Sawyer become closer than ever before.
Yet, the entire breadth of the season pales in comparison to the shocking season finale, in which the entire structure of the show is changed. If anyone could fault this season for anything, it would be that it seemed like the writers/producers were milking the plotlines as they did not know how long the show would go (a common problem among popular TV shows). However, once the writers/producers finalized a contract with ABC to run for six seasons total, they become much more free to go all-out with their storytelling as the season went on, and it shows.
To conclude, the third season of LOST is just as action-packed, thought-provoking, and emotionally relevant as the first two seasons. The origin of the Others is better explained, the flashbacks are just as compelling as ever (specifically those involving Jack and Kate), and the season finale will absolutely blow you away. You might as well pre-order season four now, as you will be counting down the days until its release.

Worth the Extra Dough! April 5, 2008
One of the best blu-ray sets I've seen for image quality. If you love Lost and a videophile like me, it's totally worth the purchase.
