Summary: True Lost Fan
Comment: I am a lost fan. I have been watching the show since season 1 and have never been disappointed. I was really looking forward to season three and be able to review the shows before the next season begins. I have never been disappointed in any of the Lost box sets I have bought. I also like the bonus disc that is included. If you have never watched the show, and wonder what people are talking about when they say "the others, the hatch and who is the man with the patch eye", here is your chance to see the show and know the jargon. Enjoy!!

Summary: All About The Others
Comment: While the first season of LOST introduced viewers to the important survivors of Oceanic 815, and the second season dealt with what was inside the hatch, the third season dealt primarily with the Others, a mysterious group of people that were on the island long before Oceanic 815 ever crashed on the beach.
This season begins right where the second season left off, with Jack, Kate, and Sawyer as captives of the Others. As the season progresses, we learn more about why the Others only take specific prisoners, what their relationship is to the DHARMA initiative, and how they (most importantly Ben) came to be on the island in the first place. I could go on and on about the dramatic plot twists and turns, but I don't want to ruin anything for you!
Besides the main mysterious plotlines, however, the emotional drama of the show is also ratcheted up a notch. Again, I don't want to ruin any big moments with a slip of the tongue here, but in this season the flashbacks of the "Losties" converge more than ever, as it becomes more and more apparent that the crash of Oceanic 815 was not a random event. More specifically, this season really highlights the Jack/Kate relationship, with some of the most emotional "Jate" moments of the entire show so far. The drama is heightened when Jack finds a new love interest among the Others, while Kate and Sawyer become closer than ever before.
Yet, the entire breadth of the season pales in comparison to the shocking season finale, in which the entire structure of the show is changed. If anyone could fault this season for anything, it would be that it seemed like the writers/producers were milking the plotlines as they did not know how long the show would go (a common problem among popular TV shows). However, once the writers/producers finalized a contract with ABC to run for six seasons total, they become much more free to go all-out with their storytelling as the season went on, and it shows.
To conclude, the third season of LOST is just as action-packed, thought-provoking, and emotionally relevant as the first two seasons. The origin of the Others is better explained, the flashbacks are just as compelling as ever (specifically those involving Jack and Kate), and the season finale will absolutely blow you away. You might as well pre-order season four now, as you will be counting down the days until its release.

Summary: Greatness and blandness in one season
Comment: What makes a show like "Alias" or "Lost" strange is that they're entirely built on mysteries and double crosses, questions and answers and finding out what they all mean is the fun. Sure we can knock the show for drawing out its answers a bit too long and revisiting might lose that mystery because we now know what it all means, it's always great to get immersed into a show that doesn't involve a crime being solved in an hour. But even the great shows stumble and season 3 is one season where there's enough promise and greatness to outweigh the flaws but just too bad the flaws are just so visible.
Season 3 opens with Jack, Kate and Sawyer held hostage by the Others; Sayid, Sun and Jin are on a sailboat attempting to rescue them while Locke and Desmond deal with the fallout of the electromagnetic explosion that happened at the hatch. But naturally there's plenty to branch off from as answers (some) are revealed, new ones are introduced and some characters won't survive till the end.
I tried to be as broad and general as I can since the fun of a show like this is getting caught up in it and not really worrying that you've watched a good number of episodes in one go. And watching it on DVD or Blu-ray helps the flow of the season well since disappointment isn't as easy to get when you don't have to wait a week or deal with frequent commercial interruptions. A lot happens in this season, some of it surprising and some...strange but the show creators don't so much stumble as they occasionally drop the ball then bounce back.
The first ball drop is the opening set of episodes before a long break which dealt rather heavily on Jack, Kate and Sawyer's time in captivity with the Others. While it introduces their society and some motivations and a new main character, it feels strangely sluggish and the show just kind of limps along for awhile. Then there's the new characters Nikki and Paulo which deserve their dislike from fans since it seemed like a good idea to try rather than something vitally integral to the show. But then the show gets into the swing of things and twists add plenty of fuel for the mythology and the 2 part finale is quite the whopper for changing the show around. But as you can probably guess, some of the answers seem slightly frustrating as if the show's winking at us in a "this is all you're getting" way. One of the mysteries surrounding the Others was their kidnapping of several flight survivors and the reveal or shall we say, the tease, of what happens to them is just silly.
There's a lot of episodes that are great here to exceptional to just merely serviceable. Ones like "Man Behind the Curtain" (complete with creepy late night cabin visit), "Man From Tallahassee" and the 2 part "Through the Looking Glass" are season highlights and it's worth checking out the season if you're a Lost fan. Just be prepared for some...iffy parts along the way.
