After watching Lost Season 1, I’m definitely hook’d on this TV series. I’ve told my girlfriends about it, and they’ve watched some the episodes with me. In this second season of Lost, Michelle Rodriguez as Ana Lucia an ex cop, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as Mr. Eko a drug dealer and Cynthia Watros as Libby a psychiatrist join the cast. These people turn out to be castaways from the fallen plane’s tail section. I personally think they were great additions to the show.

Anyways, all three travel to the opposite side of the island, as they arrive, Ana makes a fatal mistake in error of judgment and she shoots Shannon. As the season goes along, Locke loses faith in the island, Michael goes off to find Walt, Hurley falls in love with one of the tailies, Claire explores what happened to her during her “missing month,” and Sawyer scores an unexpected coup which gets him all the guns in the camp.

Lost’s second season started out strong and thrilling, then hit a dead spot for a few episodes, before picking back up again. While the middling episodes are solid enough, the best parts are at the start and finish, where the writers throw several shocking twists into the storyline. The mystery of the island itself is not yet solved — the presence of the mysterious Dharma Corporation is revealed. But the corporation doesn’t explain how the island has healing powers. Some answers are revealed, and some mysteries simply get more complex. On the character back story front, the castaways’ problems still haunt them, from imaginary friends to torture to drugs.

The returning cast from the first season does an amazing job, especially Dominic Monaghan, Evangeline Lilly, Daniel Dae Kim, Naveen Andrews, and Jorge Garcia, who all get their pasts raked up again; the actors do a magnificent job with guilt, sorrow, longing, and love. In fact, all of them do a good job, including ex-star Maggie Grace, who manages to make us actually like Shannon in her final episode.

As for the “tailies,” there are good and bad choices. Michelle Rodriguez was an appalling choice, since her butch ex-cop is the same character she’s been doing for years in films. But on the flip side is Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, who quickly won fans’ hearts as the spiritual Mr. Eko, a mysterious and dangerous priest/drug runner. Think a Christian counterpart to Locke’s animist believer.

“Lost” stumbled a bit in the middle of the second season, but regained its footing for shocking, explosive episodes leading up to the finale. If only all second seasons were as good as this.

The specific aspects of the Blu-ray:

The Lost Season 2 Blu-ray Disc allows movie fans to enjoy the film in high definition format, delivering far more crisply detailed images than standard DVDs. The sounds of Lost Season 2 Blu-Ray Disc is extraordinary.

The Audio and visuals of Lost Season 2 are really incredible, there’s not much to say bad about it.
