 It's About "Time" June 13, 2008
Though shorter than the previous three seasons of the show (partly due to starting in January, and partly due to the writer's strike), the fourth season of LOST is just as compelling as ever.
In reference to the main "mythology" plotlines, for the first time this season the real possibility of rescue is touched on. Also, a dramatic shift (as a result of the Jack vs. Locke feud) is made in the way the castaways are aligned on the island, and as a result we learn that perhaps Ben Linus has not always been the leader of the Others. Finally, picking up on a seemingly forgotten plot thread of a past season, this season really delves into the notion that the perception of time on the island is not the same perception of time in the outside world.
As for the more personal, dramatic storytelling that LOST has become known for, this season picks right up where season three's shocker ("we have to go back, Kate!) left off, flashing forward into the future instead of back to the past. By doing this, the writers/producers were able to keep the dramatic stories fresh, essentially revealing the future location of certain "Losties" and then filling in the gaps as to how/why he/she ended up at that point.
To conclude, the fourth season of LOST keeps up the show's high-quality tradition of mind-bending plots (this season is heavy on those with the time-altering angle), action/adventure, and compelling drama. By the season finale, when the person in the coffin is revealed (and you will be dying to know how he/she ended up there), the show will have taken on almost a completely new "real time" (perhaps episodes will now flashback from the future?!). Let's just say that it will be a long wait until next January, when the sixth season hits ABC.
I'd buy THAT for a dollar!! June 2, 2008

Or $66.95. Great season and it will be fun to watch especially when all the seasons have come out. This is one of those shows that is really setup for Blu-Ray. Oh and the new additions this year in characters along with great storytelling really put this series back on top! I was a little disappointed with Michael's character development but hey you can't have everything and we still have to see where they are going with that.
Looking forward to the release too bad we have to wait till December.

No need for the formulaic breakdown (but thank you for that!) because it doesn't matter if Season 4 ran for 300 minutes or 30 minutes - fact of the matter is, when it comes down to the writing, direction, production, acting, etc., LOST is the best out there. I cannot think of another TV series- or even movie- that comes close. Sure Season 3 sort of hit a slump (in my opinion) but it came back pretty strong this season.
And regardless of how short this season is, LOST is something you end up rewatching a couple of times anyway, again because of the QUALITY of the show (hence the very reason for purchasing the series in the first place, right?) so who cares how much it costs! Because what's the alternative: buy some other movie in its place that you will probably end up only watching once or twice anyway, right? Whereas the LOST series ends up paying for itself because of its replay value!
So if this is the price of great entertainment, I'm in!
Finally... Some Answers! May 30, 2008

Lost Season 4 finally gave us some answers as to who gets off the island, and some clues as to what the island is all about. During the first 3 seasons we learned about each character. Season 4 ties many of these characters together and develops the characters even further. This series has been pretty incredible since the 1st season. Watching Lost gives you the feeling you are watching a full length movie rather than a TV series. The money spent on the set alone (ie. the airplane wreckage) was more than was spent on many other feature movies.
Lost season 4 leaves you wanting more. Season 3 was difficult for viewers because it felt sporadic. There was not a smooth flow week to week and the weekly schedule was affected. Although there was a writer's strike, Season 4 began and was more consistent week to week. It is nice that there is finally a plan to end the series with 16 episodes each year trough season 6. I empathize with another reviewer that it may seem like a rip-off since there are only 16 episodes instead of 24, but I think the episodes are better and there is obviously some inflation over last year :)
I own the first 3 seasons season 3 on Blu-ray. I am excited to get this season 4 on blu-ray as well. Satellite and Cable TV HD Programming do not do this series justice. They are only broadcast in 1080i and are compressed smaller so they can fit the data down the pipeline. This ultimately degrades the picture significantly. Blu-ray allows the viewer to view this series in 1080p (Through HDMI) and there is a significant difference in the quality of video and sound. Plus it is much more fun to watch the series without interruptions and ads on the screen. I am on the reserve list for this series and as a blu-ray lover, I recommend making the switch to blu-ray, especially with your favorite TV Series LOST!
A great 4th season of one of TV's best ever. May 26, 2008

Bluray TV shows are a bargain compared to movies for price. This can be proven with some basic grade school math. The average new release movie on Bluray costs from $20 to $25 and runs around 120 minutes. This season of Lost had 14 episodes including the finale which will be a double episode. Each episode is about 42 minutes without ads. This gives a total of 588 minutes. Divide by 120 minutes and that equals the length of 5 movies. The price currently listed for this pre-release is $66. That gives a result of $13 per 120 minutes. That is less than any new Bluray movie. That just goes to show that season 3 was really a bargain at 23 episodes and around the same price. This took less than a minute to calculate. The shortened season has a high price only when compared to a full season and not compared to the average 2 hour movie on Bluray.
