Lost: The Complete Fifth Season Reviews:
Why available earlier in Region 2 but not in the USA? 
2009-11-06 - Why is LOST Season Five already available for purchase in Region 2, but an entire month and an half later in Region 1? I think we're being cheated. Any objective reason for this delay? I preordered this item but feel a bit ripped off.
Lost: The Complete Fifth Season 
2009-10-15 - Excellent buy! Great delivery time and item in Perfect condition!
We enjoyed this series very much! Recommend to everyone!
Make an excellent gift idea for anyone!!
Lost continues to amaze.
2009-10-14 - Its pretty simple. There are 2 kinds of people in this world. Those who love Lost and those who say "when are they getting off that island". Most people who dislike Lost have not watched every episode. If you miss episodes then yea... your going to be Lost, pardon the pun. In my opinion Lost is the greatest TV show ever. Consistant quality from episode 1 to season 5's finale.
rip off
2009-10-08 - While I may a voice from the wilderness, let us take a look at the facts!
season one 24 episodes
season two 23 episodes
season three 22 episodes
season four 13 episodes (writer's strike year)
Fact #1 ABC said that there were to be 7 seasons, now reduced to six.
Fact #2 ABC said that they would increase the amount of episodes to make up for the shortness of season 4. NOT
Fact #3 ABC aired two "NEW" episodes in season 5 that were no more than "previously on lost"
season five 16 episodes. add season 1-4 divide by four equals 20.5 episodes. By my math season five should have 21 episodes, or more.
ABC has mis-managed this series so badly. For example: in an effort to get public viewers they started LOST 4 or 5 minutes early (cutting Dances with the Stars short) and many times ran into the next show late to get people watching a "NEW series. If you watched season one and two, you'll remember the six week breaks, then in season two ABC decides to start showing the Tail section 2 weeks into the 6 week break???
My point: I love the series LOST, I watch it over and over. I can't wait for the DVD release of season five. But, at what a cost to the long time viewers of LOST. Only to be diappointed with short seasons and no seventh season.
conclusion: Dallas always had 28-30 shows a season, for 14 yrs. Well the series "24" runs 24 episodes, you get your bang for the buck there.
The Father figure is part of the solution and Sawyer gives us the most emotional journey of the series.
2009-09-01 - Forget about explanations. Millions of people all have their solutions. We'll see next year. I can only say that part of the answer lies with the father figure. Almost all the charcters has had a problem with their father. Plus, you've got Hurley who talks about "The Empire Strikes Back" which is known to contain the famous Darth Vader Line "No Luke. I am your father". Plus, the creators has said that the end would be kind of biblical. And let's just say that in the Bible, The Father plays a big role. You also have Ben who describe the Passion Of Christ at some point... In that Passion, Jesus begs his father to save him and then reconciles with him. I'm telling you: something with the father figure is at the heart of this TV series.
Anyhow, this season gave me the best moment of the whole series. It's a small moment. A lot of people might not even remember. It lasts about 10 seconds and it's about Sawyer, one of the most interesting character, if not the most. At some point, he wakes up and leaves for he was informed that some of his friends were finnaly discovered. Juliete is troubled by it. As he arrives and gets out of his vehicle, what does he see? Hurley, Jack and... Kate getting out of the van. It's been years since he saw her. He even swore to Juliete that he didn't even remember her. And here she is. In front of him. The look on his face... and boum! the episode ends. That particular moment was so touching. Plus, we ourselves could identify with Sawyer cause those characters were absent for a complete episode or two prior to that. I was also glad, like Sawyer, to see them come out of the van. The look on Jack's face. The lines on his forehead. No words. Just emotions and a smile.
That moment surpasses the one, in season 3, where Sawyer, chained and forced to break stones, kisses Kate as he cannot control himself anymore. She is so sexy in her dress and covered with sweat. He just drops everything, walk up to her and kisses her and then, he attacks the others as they come to stop him.
Boy! That character really gives us strong moments... he's kind of the Han Solo of the Star Wars saga.
I still think that season 3 was the best. But season 5 is awesome. It really distances itself from the rest of the series as it embarks on a complete new journey of science-fiction. before, you could almost try (i'm saying "try") to explain everything in a scientific way. But in season 5... forget it. We are in complete fantasy. Now it's clear. Science cannot explain everything here. Some people might stop watching "Lost" from now on. The creators are now showing their cards. They don't care about new viewers. They are satisfying the old ones. The ones who are ready to follow now that it is officially a science-fiction series.
