Lost: Season 3

I can’t imagine trying to watch Lost one episode a week, stuffed in between the commercials of broadcast television. Experienced on DVD, its convoluted, quirky plots, maddening flashbacks and textured characters flow into a long, layered movie viewed over several nights. The third season is a treat, hinting at a resolution to the story but drawing no closer to it.

The extra features – a whole other DVD’s worth of deleted scenes, documentaries and out-takes – will prove a welcome nightcap for anyone who gets to the end and still wants another peek at the mystery before waiting for season four. It will come as no surprise that the bonus DVD is fairly thick with easter eggs.
