Before J.J. Abrams drove us all nuts with Star Trek, he spent years driving us nuts with Lost. The Season 4 DVDs hit the store on Tuesday, but we’ve already seen it (here’s Bob’s review) and we’ve finagled previews of some of the DVD extras. We’ll be doling them out over the next few days, as soon as we check to make sure that they’re spoiler-free if you haven’t seen the last season.
Here’s one on the difficulty of keeping track of the guns…
If only Plaxico had seen this clip beforehand.
Serialized television has seen a decline in ratings after becoming all the rage, ignited largely by the originality and quality of Lost. Created by J.J. Abrams, Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof, the series had an intriguing premise, an intricate mythology and a sprawling cast, but they never took the focus off the characters. We got to know them, one by one, and came to care what happened. As several regulars died off, we were repeatedly told, this is a dangerous situation and everyone was vulnerable. This season, more favorite characters are wiped away in dramatic fashion and helps inform those who survive.
Of course, the fun of the series is also seeing the dead come back to appear in flashbacks and hallucinations so no one stays away from the show for good.
The third season was accused of losing that tight focus and its audience began to dwindle. In spring 2007, ABC and the producers agreed to an end date for the show, spring 2010, and that freed the producers to finish plotting out the series in broad strokes. We go the first hint of that in the season finale which had the first flash forward, showing us a suicidal Jack insisting he and Kate have to return to the island.
As a result, we were eager for the fourth season, the six-disc DVD collection, which goes on sale Tuesday and were not disappointed. The freighter that has arrived proves not to be from Desmond’s beloved Penny but on behalf of Charles Widmore, who seems to be out to control the island and its secrets. From that point, we delve into sixteen episodes which furthered everyone’s character arcs while introducing new wrinkles and new cast.
As one would expect, Jack and Locke are at odds as Locke’s spiritual side says they have to remain on the island while Jack remains committed to getting everyone off. The cast splits and we follow both sides with Locke’s crew taking over the compound used by The Others, who have fled.
