Lost - Series 3 - Complete (DVD)

Some fans weren’t overly crazy about the first eight episodes of the show, which focus exclusively on Jack, Kate and Sawyer and just about ignore the rest of the cast. This was a major departure from the past two seasons, where each episode focused on a different character, but these episode still do a lot: they set the stage for what is to come, they introduce us to The Others and give us some insight into the truth about the island. The series starts off great, with a shockingly suburban scene, and the first half of the season ends great as well, with the amazingly tense scene where Jack holds Ben hostage and orders Kate to run. From there, the show returns to its more ordinary format, focusing on different characters as it sees fit to develop the story. Still, there are a lot more of The Others, and now, instead of making them an elusive shadow people, they are themselves people and characters who just happen to have twisted morals. The introduction of Jacob (if you can call it that) is terrific, and there are plenty of other highlights in the series as well. While there are a few stumbles (Hurley’s van episode), but hey, no one’s perfect.

The DVD, as you might imagine, has a lot of little bonus features, all of which are gathered onto Disc 7. Much like with Lost itself, you have to work to find the features, as the DVD lacks labels for the most part. While I normally don’t like this approach, it fits in with the theme of the show, and also gives you a chance to explore for easter eggs, of which there are several. Some of these easter eggs are pretty lame (one where various cast and crew members talk with sentiment to everyone who has made the experience so great), but there are a few that are entertaining.

The real meat of the special features are these:

The World of the The Others
A look at different aspects of the revelations about the bitter enemies of the survivors. Fans will be delighted that the cast and crew reveal a lot of little tidbits you may not have thought about.
Lost Flashbacks
Nothing too spectacular here. There are a couple additional flashbacks that provide a little more detail into certain stories, but there’s nothing that wasn’t removed without a purpose.
Lost On Location
This is an entertaining featurette that explores several episodes from behind-the-scenes. There are a lot of cast and crew interviews and looks at how sequences were filmed. The most interesting part is where we see how the original crash scene is reconstructed to add in new actors that weren’t around in the first season.
The Lost Book Club
Watch this one. The writers reveal that every book shown in the show has significance, and they let slip a few details about what’s to come. There are definitely a few things in here that had me wanting the fourth season to come along right now.
Lost in a day
This is a look at 24 hours in the day of the production. I honestly can’t remember if I found this one insightful or not, but I think I did.
Deleted Scenes
There are a few decent deleted scenes, but, of course, there’s nothing too spectacular to be found here.
Bloopers
Hey, who doesn’t like bloopers?
I’m not quite sure where this is on the DVD - it may be an easter egg - but the best part of the features is a brief instructional video a la the Dharma Initiative. Does this explain the truth behind Lost?

Series 1 ... Good, Series 2 ... really good, but series 3 ... Excellent! The very best so far and left so many cliff hangers that I can't wait until the next series to appear on the small screens. It has to be "a must-see" for this decade!

Lost is just one of them series you cant get bored of. it makes stopping in on a fri or sat that little bit easier if you want to. with its multi-character storey lines, and individual cliffhanger endings to each episode its hard to turn off and wait till another time to see what happens next.
a gem of a unique series, which has definately earned its place in suspense drama history. roll on series 5!!!

I am loving this new season. It answers a lot of questions about the survivors pasts and how they ended up the way that they are, but also throws up new questions. I think that maybe it tells you why everyone is on the island, but knowing Lost it will turn out to be another red herring. I can't wait for Season 4. Maybe we will find out whats really going on. LOVIN IT!!

I could spell it out for you in real letters, but then again I'm already thrice guilty of this offence to reason! I would love to tell the producers of this tripe to go get LOST - but somehow it would ring false, since I have actually seen all 3 seasons of this nonsense. Therefore I suppose I just have to say something in its favour. Ashamed as I am to admit it, even Season 3 managed to entertain me, although being virtually indistinguishable from Season 2 as regards story development, it does inevitably become repetitive. Maybe it's because I've managed to endure the two previous seasons that I don't seem to care!
Perhaps it's like chocolate: without realising it, you become addicted, and although it doesn't do you much good, you enjoy it whilst it's going down.

What ever you do,do not start watching the LOST series. You will be completely hooked. The most impelling and intriguing programme on the box!

For anyone who liked to be scared but excited at the same time, want to go back to your childhood, then this is the series for you, from start to finish this series will have you missing work and ignoring loved ones. A visual equivalent to the book you can't put down 10/10

I THOUGHT THIS WAS AWSOME. IT WAS GREAT NOT STOPPING FOR THE ADVERTS IT TOOK ME ABOUT 20HOURS OVER A WEEKEND TO WATCH. ALSO THERE IS A GREAT TWIST AT THE END. TO BUY THIS IS A MUST

After slogging through the utterly tedious serious 2 you'll be wanting an answer or two. Series 3 sets about giving you a much fuller picture of whats occurring on the island without being conclusive. There were episodes in S2 that just left me reeling with frustration as pile upon pile of mystery was unloaded while the viewer was starved of any explanation. S3 is a juicy watch with some key villains atlast getting there comeuppance. Highly recommended

This series is all about the intriguing 'others' how they live, what they do and who they are (but the writers not giving too much away)
Who is the mysterious Jacob? Why are the others living there? Where do the lists come from?
The series starts from where series 2 ends - what happens to Kate, Jack, Hurley and Sawyer.
Throughout the series they have a good mixture of episodes - some quite violent, some lighthearted and some funny scenes. We get to know the main characters more whilst they introduce some mysterious new ones that keep us gripped and intrigued.

However if you want the show to wrap up and conclude then you will be a bit disappointed as it gets more in depth and adds new questions to the growing list.
If you don't want Lost to end anytime soon, you will love it!

In my opinion this series has the BEST FINALE!
ACTION, DRAMA, TWISTS, SUSPENSE. A real feel good ending.

I buy the boxsets because the great thing about Lost is you can watch it over and over again and sometimes you need to re-watch episodes because it gets more in depth and quite confusing as it goes on.

DEFINATELY RECOMMENDED!

One of the best show on the pace of the planet!!!!

Every season is a gripper!!!

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

theres nothing to dislike, im hooked on it!!! cant wait to watch the end of the series!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i love this film, it is just very exciting -i already bought the first and second series, now i'm so happy i've got the third one -- thanks for Davros77 :)

yeah fab, keep it coming, series 3 is great and keeps you on your toes and ready for the current series 4, oh exciting xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If you like lost then series 3 will be right up your street. It shows that right from the first episode they had planed series 3 as it ties all 3 series together. The acting and plots are fab and of course your left waiting for series 4.

Buy one now

If, like me, you have been waiting for this series to be televised and can wait no longer, then this is the DVD for you. It contains all 23 episodes and it does not disappoint. Each episode is enthralling. I had to limit myself to 2 episodes at a time, so I could draw the thrill out a bit longer!! Series 4 is screening on Sky at the moment - I can hardly wait for that to come out on dvd too!

There are lots of bonus features included too, such as 'Lost on Location' and 'Deleted scenes'.

So, if you are getting withdrawal symptoms for Lost I thoroughly recommend buying this DVD - you won't regret it!

I have followed this series from the beginning and love the twist, turns and surprises and could not wait to view the next episode. I bought it as a treat to myself, I just cannot understand why Hurley does not lost weight!!
A great view.

Great Series, Don't have Sky so this DVD is a must have!!! It's good to catch up with Jack, Kate & Sawyer

The dvds were in great condition and were great to watch, I recieved them quick. I bought series 3 so I could watch them before series 4.

I desided to buy the dvds cause it was a fantastic price 4 a box set and the dvds was really good and in very good condition thanks again

What a season and what a show! the characters are brilliant and the story and subplots are just mind blowing!

Jate not Skate!!

Lots of exciting stuff and things going on, but not as believable as the first and second series. I cant see any real explanation for everyones xenophobia of each other, but perhaps thats supposed to be the effect of the island. All the characters seem to behave like they are permanently suffering crack withdrawal symptoms or something ! A bit flawed but brill all the same.

Having watched series 1 and 2 of Lost i have found this just as entertaining.well worth buying and watching but you need to start at the begining first.
