If this button pressing thing were so dang important, someone would be taking a better job of paying attention to it.

In a show which started with a harrowing plane crash, season two continues to awe us with mystery and frustration. Frustration not of discontent but rather edge of your seat viewing. The flashbacks become deeper as each character is reviewed and analyzed. At one point, Locke reflects on how Ernest Hemingway battled himself in comparing his own writing with Dostoyevsky. Sharing his thoughts with Doc, perhaps Locke is looking ever deeper into himself, and maybe the show is taunting us to do the same. As with season one, the acting and production is first rate, and despite what you might hear, the answers are slowly unfolding. It wouldn't be the phenomenon it's become if the answers were all spelled out for us.

Season Two wasn't quite as brilliant as Season One, but for the most part "Lost" avoids that second year slump so many new shows fall into and continued to deliver some of the best stories on television. The series remains staunchly character driven, and the internet is as glutted with "Lost" fan speculation as ever. The stage is set for another brilliant season of groundbreaking, almost cinematic television from J.J. Abrams and the cast and crew of "Lost" in Season 3.

Well, they've done it again. Lost: The Complete Second Season is given near-perfect DVD treatment. Cool packaging and menus, informative extras, and the most intriguing TV series since The Prisoner make this a must have.

There are seven discs in the series, with the episodes on the first six discs, with several commentary tracks available throughout. Disc seven contains a bevy of special features, including lost flashbacks, deleted scenes, bloopers, behind-the-scenes documentaries, a spotlight on Sawyerisms and several featurettes that discuss some of the secrets and possible theories of everything from the Virgin Mary statues, Alvar Hanso and the characters? spiritual journeys (which most likely are nothing more than red herrings in the grand scheme of things)? The last disc is pretty comprehensive, but not as chock-full as the one from the first season. Still, there?s plenty to love about the whole season, which is providing viewers with possibly the best television show on air today. It sure beats the pants off of ?Dancing with the Stars.?

Starting with Disc One after some nine months of seeming disappointment with the show, I originally looked at the task of reviewing the show as an unenviable and unenjoyable one. Thankfully, I was wrong; the series plays much better on DVD, where one can watch as much or little as one wants (or has time for), and where the extra features actually expand and explain the conception of the show as it transitions into Season Three. The bonus materials remind fans that there is an actual plan to the show's flow, and that there are forces both creative and technical at work designing the intricate and secretive tales that expand the Lost mythology. This is definitely one of the best TV-to-DVD sets of the year, and a must-have for inveterate and uninitiated Lost fans alike.

LOST is the best show on television, that's all there is to it. It's an amazingly real human drama, an incredible adventure show, and it has plenty of mysteries that need to be uncovered. It's a television experience that is one of a kind and is not to be missed. LOST fanatics will study these episodes in hope of catching new clues they missed the first time around, and it's always good to review before the new season. Newcomers have little time to catch up, but if they cram there is certainly a possibility that they can catch up.
