garbage 
2008-05-26
After the renting the first season , I was interested enough to rent the second , to see how the writers would resolve some of the mysteries and problems facing the characters. I was willing to overlook the many "minor" faults in the first. A plane breaking into three parts after hitting an air pocket? Or maybe it was the electromagnetic anomaly?Planes are mostly made of aluminum, not affected by magnetic fields. Is this possible?? The large number of survivors , yet the ELT (battery powered and independent of the plane's radio) does not survive the crash? John Locke , after being abandoned and then horribly betrayed by his genetic father , instantly agrees to help him retrieve $700k in stolen money, for part of the loot?
The second season , however , revealed writers who treat absurdity as a virtue. The hatch leads to an underground chamber , part of the "Dharma Project" (oooh Buddhist!!) , where Desmond enters a series numbers every 108 minutes to "save the world". After Desmond runs away , John takes over entering the sequence , why? Because he has faith , that's why !!!
Of course , that makes perfect sense.
Just keep watching, it will all be explained? No thanks.
Confusing , inconsistent, pretentious garbage.

If you didn't read my first review about the first season of Lost then I will tell you the same thing for season two. It is the best show on tv.

The survivors must deal with the mysterious hatch, and they are not alone on the island! OoOoOoOoO......... are you interested yet? You should be. Bring those sweet buns over here to your computer chair and order the second season today!!!
Not as good as season one 
2008-05-02
Season two of Lost is quite enjoyable, but with some shortcomings. Overall, the series is quite intelligent science fiction with tight writing and sophisticated character development. Season two is not as successful when the flashbacks are redundant. Some characters, like Jin and Sun and Locke, have flashbacks that continually reveal new information and story lines. This keeps the show fresh and interesting. Other character flashbacks, like Hurley and Charlie, rehash the same themes as season one making those episodes less interesting. Claire's character also becomes really lame and whiny. If all the characters had new themes to their flashbacks it would have been more engaging. The introduction of new characters like Ana Lucia (Michelle Rodriguez) were not that great. Her character is too dominating and violent. In Season two guns start to dominate the action elements of the show, which I do not care for. Part of the show's appeal was that it was "primitive" and the survivors had to be creative with what they used to survive. Every show on TV these days seems to involve gun violence, and Lost starts to follow that cliché. But, overall, the show remains well done and interesting and Season 3, and especially season 4 are great.
LOST DVD SETS 2008-04-15
I purchased these for my sister (Lost - the first 3 seasons) as she had lost all her tapes where she taped each episode on a VCR. She loved the LOST episodes that I purchased at the same time and was estatic to get these 3 episodes!
LOST is the Best 2008-04-12
I ordered this to add to my collection. I now own all three seasons.
A Solid Follow Up to Season 1 2008-07-09
Season 2 of LOST is a solid follow up to the first season. It had me glued to the TV set each night and talking about it the next morning.
We get some answers, but double the questions are raised in this season, this becomes a pattern with the season to follow as well. BUT, what the story did tell us, about the island and the characters, was fascenating. Some of it even more so than the first season. The reason I love LOST though, is that it's just the best drama out there! It's so unique from anything I've ever watched. It's unconventional and out of the box. It's thrilling and fast paced. It's spooky and shocking. It's emotional and dramatic. It's even fun and entertaining. It's everything I like in a show.
KEEPS GETTING BETTER !!! 2008-07-01
What else can you say LOST grabbed me from show 1 and never let go. I introduced my then girlfriend, now wife, to it and she was so hooked we watched all of season one in a week and then she got season two because she couldn't wait to see what was next!!! I'll be sad when the last season rolls around.
Lost - Second Season 2008-06-26
Excellent. Just what I need to review the second season and get ready for the new season coming up
LOST IN "LOST" 2008-06-19
Anyone who is not a fan of "LOST" is missing quality entertainment - to me it is watching an Academy Award winning hour each week with equally consistent award winning performances by the entire ensemble cast. I now have the first three seasons on DVD and look forward to purchasing the 4th season when released in December. There are a lot of bloggers out there who pull each episode apart; but I just enjoy this fantastic series and relish watching again on my dvds. If you have the inclination, watch the first season - it is and always will be unforgettable to me - the introduction to the best drama on the small screen I have ever seen. Enjoy getting lost in "Lost". Mary Hanley in Connecticut
Inside the Hatch and Taking A Prisoner 2008-06-11
After an incredibly succesful and compelling first season, LOST returned the following fall with another jam-packed slate of episodes filled with mystery, character development, and action.
Picking right up where the season one finale left off, the mysterious hatch is explored throughout this second season, ultimately leading to solving the mystery of why Oceanic 815 went down in the first place. Also, one of the mysterious "Others" (the ones who took young Walt off the boat in the season one finale) is captured by the "Losties" and his interrogation (mainly due to Michael Emerson's incredible acting) is a high point in the entire series. Finally, a new crew of Oceanic survivors is discovered, introducing a few new characters (but can they be trusted?!) into the mix.
Besides the mystery-laden plots, the background flash-backs of the cast-aways are just as dramatic and emotional as ever. Some of the most compelling episodes that come to mind involve:
-Hurley's battle with mental illness (as well as a certain string of numbers that make him incredibly nervous)
-Jack's relationship with his father, Christian
-It finally being revealed "What Kate Did"
-More Sun/Jin drama
-John Locke's family is revealed
-Sawyer as continued "con man"
To conclude, this second season of LOST is just as compelling as the first season. By blending incredible character drama with great action/adventure plots and mysterious happenings, LOST continues to prove that it is still the best-written show on television.
