"The island it was mythical, but in the end they died. I didn't understand it, but I tried."
Jimmy Fallon chose a song titled: "Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)" for his backhanded Lost tribute.
IMO that says it all. I'm using my S1-S3 DVD's as coasters. Wasted potential, wasted characters and a waste of time! Good riddance indeed.
 Blu-ray: The final season is quite subjective to the viewer but for fans of the series, a solid release on Blu!!!! August 31, 2010

I'm not going to go through the plot of "LOST" but want to focus on the overall Blu-ray. By saying that, I did enjoy this sixth season and loved the finale. But again, I've debated this enough on "The Fuselage" and other forums to know that this series and its finale has striked a chord among the viewers (positive and negative). Here is my feelings of the overall Blu-ray release of "Lost - The Complete Sixth Season - The Final Season" (note: Didn't find many easter eggs this time around on the BD release).
VIDEO:
"Lost - The Complete Sixth Season - The Final Season" is a series that looks incredible on High Definition. Featured in 1080p High Definition (aspect ratio of 1:78:1), the detail of the island is captured quite vibrantly. The green lush plants that surround the island, the blue skies, the blue ocean. Personally, most of the video footage shot in Hawaii tend to be vibrant in colors and "LOST" is no exception. This final season's offering continues its wonderful presentation on Blu-ray. You can see the skin pores much more closely, even the stubble or sweat on the faces of the characters, the mucky water, detail of the plants in the dense jungle, the rocky earthtones, the brownish/reds inside the Dharma buildings and just regular objects, the stained blood on the skin of the characters, you can actually see that the blood is actually dry and much, much more.
There is a lot of detail that you just don't see on television and when you see it on Blu-ray, especially for "Lost - The Complete Sixth Season - The Final Season", you can't help but be amazed. The colors are just fantastic as blue oceans and blue skies are surrounded by beautiful lush greenery. Blacks are nice and dark and skin tones are natural.
Another wonderful presentation of "Lost" on Blu-ray!
AUDIO & SUBTITLES:
As for the audio, "LOST" is featured in DTS HD-Master Audio 5.1. The dialogue is quite clear but one thing that caught my attention is how magnificent the audio is in terms of capturing the ambiance of the island when each person is moving through the jungle. This season tends to have used more panning and audio directional to certain speaker channels much more evident than the first season. Also, sounds of the smoke monster and the growls to the ambiance of the island, explosions, earthquakes, the chanting of the voices of the island and if anything, they really went all out in destruction and chaos with this latest season.
Audio comes quite clear through the various surround channels. Also, good use of surrounds and LFE. Dialogue is crisp, clear and understandable and the music also comes out alive during certain scenes.
I love how the music for the series sounds and how it really brought an overall mood to certain scenes. The music by Michael Giacchino and the way the orchestra creates that tension for the scenes was awesome. So, music plays a big part in the series and the music soundtrack is just wonderful! So, once again, "Lost - The Complete Sixth Season - The Final Season" delivers in lossless audio. Fantastic!
Subtitles are featured in English SDH, French and Spanish.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
The Blu-ray edition of "Lost - The Complete Sixth Season - The Final Season" is featured in 1080p High Definition and 480i Standard Definition. Audio is in English 2.0 Dolby Digital with subtitles in English SDH, French and Spanish. Included are:
DISC 1:

DISC 5:
* Lost University: Master's Program - For those who have Blu-ray 2.0 profile players and are hooked up to the Internet can be part of Lost University. An excerpt from the explanation of "Lost University": Viewers will be able to join LOST executive producers Carlton Cuse, Damon Lindelof, the cast of "LOST," and a panel of esteemed experts for a vast array of courses at LOST University, delving into the themes and storylines regularly explored on the groundbreaking television series. The main campus of "LOST University" will live on the "LOST: The Complete Fifth Season" Blu-ray disc and will be powered by BDLive. Upon launching the innovative interface, students immediately get access to their personalized lesson plans, compelling HD Audio-Visual presentations and communication from the LOST University faculty and staff. Like any real university, campus life at LOST University is not solely focused on higher learning, pop quizzes and homework. Through an extended web experience, students will be able to pay visits to the campus bookstore to purchase LOST U merchandise, or discuss their school experience and "LOST" theories through study-groups on the LOST University message boards. Potential students will even have the opportunity to prep for the LOST U experience in advance on [...] with story and character refresher courses and advanced reading suggestions.
With that being said, I did try out a few classes, watched a few professors (actual college professors) give their lectures on several subjects such as literature and then I took two exams on the first day. I actually like the concept of how the Lost University is implemented on the Blu-ray releases and probably one of the best uses of BD-Live thus far. The video streaming was fine and I didn't have any problems with this feature at all.
* The New Man in Charge - (11:55) The epilogue which has been hyped in many publications in which executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof have been teasing us with. Answers to a few questions that people have had. This epilogue features Dr. Ben Linus, Dr. Chang, Hurley and Walt. The questions regarding the polar bears and also with Walt is revealed and let's just say that I had a smile on my face after watching this. Presented in HD.

JUDGMENT CALL:
"Lost" was an amazing experience since the beginning. Meeting new friends and debating topics that I have never done with a TV series before, it was just a fantastic ride with its ups and downs and each episode just capturing my attention and for the most part, just embracing everything that had come out. From the audio books, the web episodes, the videogame, the podcasts, the magazine, you name it...I was loving every minute of "Lost" and what the writers had to provide for us.
And then it came to this final season and I admit that the flash-sideways episodes were a bit confusing. In fact, I was wondering where this was all heading and right after each episode, I would head to the Fuselage to see how everyone else was interpreting these flash-sideways storylines. Was I missing something? Was I not enjoying these flash-sideways as much and I was more into the original timeline?
But the more we got into the series and to see how Desmond had this connection between the two timelines, I just started to have this silly grin on my face while watching this series because we had a sense that Desmond had to play an important part in this series and then things slowly started to unravel.
But then the original timeline also started to unravel and we didn't know who would turn evil, we don't know what would happen with Sayid and what will happen between Jack, Kate and Sawyer. And for me, I was so happy to see Jin and Sun back together but then to find myself devastated and sad after watching "The Candidate" where favorite characters we have followed for years, were killed off. We knew something was going to happen, we just didn't know who. And I admit, I was so bummed out, it affected me the day after.
And then it was time for the final episode and I just felt it was the most fantastic ending for a series on television that I have seen. Granted, the final episode had a lot to do with faith and if anything, your appreciation for the series as a whole. I found myself going online and having to explain the finale to so many people. But it was quite interesting to read of how the finale affected people. Many, like myself, who absolutely loved it and then those who were upset with the finale and a lot of loose ends not being tied up.
And here we are with the Blu-ray release of "Lost - The Complete Sixth Season - The Final Season". Hyped by many publications and even brought up on the night after the finale on the Jimmy Kimmel "Lost" special about how Executive Producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof will tie up those loose ends on the Blu-ray and DVD release. So, needless to say, many fans of the series have been awaiting this release. And with all said and done, the 12-minute epilogue was satisfying. It may not answer all questions but it does answer the question that relates to Walt (and also the polar bears).
Like every previous release of "Lost" we are treated with a good amount of special features. I wish there were more audio commentary featured (especially for the final episode) and I wish the web episodes or even the Jimmy Kimmel special was included on this Blu-ray but overall, you do get many special features like the previous season box sets and you also get the latest version of "Lost University" (note: you must have a Blu-ray 2.0 player to play this. So, if your Blu-ray is connected to the Internet, you can view this feature).
As for the Blu-ray release of "Lost - The Complete Sixth Season - The Final Season", the picture quality is again, amazing. The detail can be easily seen on Blu-ray and things that never caught my attention when watching the episodes on television, have now caught my attention this time around. From the skin pores and even the hair on one's arm, to the lush plants and the coarse rocks, the blood, the sweat... the amount of detail that pops is simply amazing. Audio quality is also used very well through all channels and because we see the smoke monster quite a bit and also quite a bit of explosions and destruction in this final season, lossless audio was well utilized and sounds fantastic on Blu-ray.
Overall, this series was a fitting conclusion to this fantastic series. Many months since the conclusion of the series, people continue to debate the series finale and I'm sure with the epilogue, there are people who will continue to debate the series throughout the rest of the year.
But in the end, the series did touch millions of people worldwide. May they be content or upset of how the series unfolded throughout the six seasons, it's all subjective. But overall, for me, I was quite content with how the series played out from beginning to end. Do I still have questions in regards to the series? I sure do (especially when it comes to the characters of Eloise and Jacob). But on the grand scale of how the writers resolved many of the important questions of the series, I was content with how the final season played out and I admit to feeling a bit saddened that this series, which had become a favorite of mine for six years, is now over.
"Lost" is definitely the most compelling, entertaining and enthralling drama series to air on television and the cast and crew made sure to end the series on a positive note. If you have purchased all seasons on Blu-ray, this is a no-brainer and easily a must-buy. Highly recommended!

Thought the season was pretty good overall, but this review is mainly for the DVD collection. After watching all the special features I must say they are worth it! Answers a few questions I had as a die hard fan! Enjoyed seeing the cast and crew work together. Great show! Very Memorable, worthy of your time and money!
Completely Satisfied! August 30, 2010

I feel like a king having been to a sumptous dinner after having watched this series! I am quite satisfied!
If you have watched this show episode to episode on TV, it really is much better watching them without interruptions on DVDs. You'll get alot more out of it.
There are a great many positive things that I can say about this show. Allow me to say that if you haven't watched any of the show and are still deciding, it is well worth your watching! If you don't want to spend the money, you can always opt to rent it.
What Lost is all about, I believe, is summarized quite beautifully from the episode, "The Moth" from season 1. Again, if you're still trying to decide, I recommend that you watch this episode and if strikes a chord with you, you'll probably enjoy the series.
It seems that many people are polarized by season 6. I think the authors did a fine job laying out for us all the inner mysteries that needed to be tied up. People can make a mistake by trying to read too much into something that simply isn't there. I think we should take at face value what happened throughout season 6. I don't believe there's any "hidden" mysteries nor do I feel that the writers left out any important details. Some characters were written out of the story because of their lack of popularity most notably Walt. But, let it go. His story isn't the main one nor is it critical to the overall thematic elements of the series. Sure, it would have been nice to see more of our favorite characters. For me, I would have loved to see Mr. Eko again. But really, this is the writers' fantasy that we're getting to be a part of. We don't dictate it to them.
Anyways, that aside. This is the best writing I've seen in any movie or TV show. The kind of professionalism that we would expect of first rate movies is the kind that the writers, actors, sound engineers, musicians, directors, costumes department, and so on display. And all this talent serves to lift up a storyline that is compelling, exciting, full of emotion, and also highly relatable.
This, I believe, is the show's pinnacle beauty, that it is about the spiritual journeys of growth of ordinary real life people. We can all relate to these characters because some of us are just like them. How many of us are a Jack Shephard or a timid but lovable Hurley? How many of us have experienced the isolation of addiction that Charlie struggles with? Or perhaps, we know all to well of what it is like to be a confused young woman waking up one day to find out that she's now a mother just like Claire? Even the "bad guys" are real people with real stories and real problems. The characters' struggles are the kinds we have or have yet to make. And finally, the promise of redemption is what makes these struggles so worth it. Just like when Charlie overcame his herion addiction, when Benjamin Linus got his needed second chance from Hugo, and even when Jack Shephard finally was able to let go and let life happen.
This is the stuff of good stories. And this is the kind of stuff worth watching.
Thank you,
Cleat
