Lost DVD: The Complete Collection comes with an assortment of neat little collector items, albeit, not in very high quality. As it has already been debated in reviews and on forums, I'm not going to comment on Lost as a series, other than to state that I loved it - I'd have to go back to the original Star Trek to name a series that so held my attention. Grey's Anatomy DVD Why would I have bought the complete series on Blu-ray if it hadn't? So, here is my review on the particulars in this collection.
The 1080p image quality on Blu-ray is spectacular, far eclipsing what could be seen either on the original ABC broadcast (even HD broadcast, which was 720p) and the conventional DVD issues. Entourage DVD Hitherto unseen details are readily apparent here, starting in the opening minutes of the pilot, where the bamboo forest is dazzlingly clear, as is the riveting post crash sequence. If you don't already have a Blu-ray player, this set is good incentive to get one. Criminal Minds DVD From what I can see, there has been no digital noise reduction, so there are instances of grain, especially in darker sequences - but this is not distracting, and adds to the gritty realism of the show. In short, the video quality is far above what is seen on modern series television, and looks more like a big budget movie.Lost is a truly unique television show to watch. One Tree Hill DVDIt's imaginative, surprising, affecting, emotionally-touching, audacious,and it has some of the best characters you'll find. And, yes, it has plenty of mysteries (and also plenty of answers along the way), but in the end, Lost stays true to itself: great characters, compelling stories, but just enough mystery to keep you watching. I've watched the series a lot since it ended, and every time I watch it, it still has the same sense of surprise and mystery and emotion as it did when I saw it the first time around. And though that might be frustrating to some (and if you feel that way, you're certainly entitled to), I'm glad that Lost never had that part of itself taken away and that it will always retain the characteristics that made me enjoy it.
