Try and unravel the mysteries of Lost, as season five arrives in high definition…
I treated myself this year.
More to the point, I got to try the series for the first time in high definition.
On the way, I met a new Disney feature.
Bizarrely, it insists that you must create a profile to watch a TV programme!
and then itll keep track of where you are.
So if youre on disc three, you could pick an episode on disc four.
Lostseason five, though, was very good.
This, for me, was the season when some important decisions were made about the show.
This, in trueLostfashion, made things horrendously confusing at times.
It was tricky enough keeping track of everyone on the island and where they were up to before.
Now you have to wrap your head around when they are as well.
Its increasingly a show that you have to sit and watch with a notepad by your side.
But, as usual, answers are not in abundance here.
Instead, the pieces are moved round the board, and characters have their emotions tested.
But Im firmly glad that I didnt.
The Discs
The Blu-ray presentation I thought was strong.
There are plenty of extras too, but nothing really to get too excited about.
Then theres some bitty features and featurettes.
It strikes you as more important for them than it is for you.
There are also deleted scenes and outtakes, neither of which enthralled us very much at all.
But its sure got us looking forward to the final season…
