Lost: Season Three

Plain and simple there is nothing plain and simple about Lost. It isn’t a show for the impatient. It is surprisingly well crafted in a way that seems fresh for TV and perfect for DVD. Superb cinematography, chilling incidental music by composer Michael Giacchino and deadpan humor kick things up another notch.

Those prone to sagas like Star Wars will find Lost a good fit. The show has a huge fan base. Google it and you’ll find a whole herd of nerds dissecting and theorizing what is going to happen in Season Four. The suspense is guaranteed to provoke long conversations with other fans or perhaps just fill you up with a sense of childlike wonder. Is it a modern version of Dante’s Hell? Are they caught in an alternate universe? Or, as one anonymous devoted fan suggests, could there be some reversal of the earth’s magnetic field? Questions left unanswered in Season Three may or may not be answered in Season Four, which begins Jan. 31, on ABC. If you’re new to the show, that’s probably not enough time to get caught up, but you could get to your local video store, get Lost and give it a try.
