Shortened by the writer’s strike, the 4th season of ABC’s “Lost” features only 4 DVDs of episodes but two discs crammed with fascinating Bonus Features about the most addictive (and question-prone) series on TV today.
If you’ve never seen Lost, please don’t mention that to anyone, what you should do however, is set Disc One of Season 4 in your DVD player and select the Bonus Feature titled “Lost 8:15.” Here you will be whisked through seasons 1 – 3 in eight minutes and 15 seconds and ready for your first full episode of Season 4.
Some other Bonus Features sure to treat any new fan or loyal follower:
The Right To Bear Arms – Want to be reassured that there are more stressful jobs out there than yours? This featurette documents the work-life of the man who keeps track of all the guns on the show including whose hands they are supposed to be in and how they got there. Two words – “flow charts.”
The Oceanic Six: A Conspiracy of Lies – Uncover the conspiracy theories of the Oceanic 6 as if the show “Lost” didn’t exist, but the mysterious crash of Oceanic flight 815 actually happened. Some of the investigative questions revolve around Jack’s short hair, the Losties clothes, and why Hurley’s not the only one who hasn’t lost a lot of weight.
Soundtrack of Survival – (a personal favorite feature) Discover each character’s theme song, watch as the musicians create the music to an episode and even learn how the infamous Lost noise was created (you know the one that happens right before the screen goes black after something monumental has just been revealed). And watch clips from a live concert performed in Hawaii offering a more orchestral take on the music that makes the show come alive.
Course of The Future: The Definitive Flash-Forwards – This is the most useful Bonus Feature in the DVD collection because it strings together the flash forwards in chronological order helping out everyone establish what day, time, year and show we are actually watching again.
Lost Missing Pieces – This feature is the most fun, I think. These ‘mobisodes’ or ‘webisodes’ were originally for Verizon subscribers, but eventually placed on the Lost site for a broader audience. Each short snip-it offers clips from episodes that were not actually in any episodes and in some cases provide that extra bit of information avid fans crave. There’s a steamy one with Sun and Michael, wink wink.
