The Short: The sixth season was fitting when you think about the first season. There’s a ton left to interpret and grasp at the end of the show, and yes… there’s still a little bit of mystery.

Lost has taken us through a wild and crazy six seasons. The survivors from Oceanic Flight 815 have suffered through ‘others’, time travel, a black smoke monster, polar bears, a freighter full of soldiers, and I’m sure I missed something. The show went all over the place- and truth be told- now that it’s over, I miss the show and I still have no clue as what happened… I get it, but there are tons of questions at the end of the show and tons of things to search through old episodes for.

Just because there are questions at the end of the show, that doesn’t mean that it didn’t come to a conclusion, because it definitely did. The alternate reality theme that took place throughout the sixth and final season of the show was an interesting theme that helped build the characters even more than in previous seasons. Moreover, the ‘true’ main character in the show Jack Sheppard, played by Matthew Fox finishes his spiritual path and has an incredible peak to his story.

This wasn’t the best season of Lost like many thought it would be six years ago when the show just started, but it was a good season that gave us some answers and left some things open to interpretation. Surprisingly, they creators of the show did something amazing with the final season of the show… they made it one of the most re-watchable shows in recent history. I never thought I’d want to watch an episode of Lost more than once… now that it’s over- I want to go back and look for the hints and clues to the conclusion. Maybe a couple of times. That’s why the seasons of Lost end up being most-own on Blu-ray if you’re a fan of the show.

As for the Blu-ray content itself, it really is brilliant. The show looked great on broadcast and on Blu-ray is the best way to see it on home video. There’s something about the location in Hawaii where they filmed the show that just looks amazing in high definition. Add that to a good sound mix that uses every channel perfectly and you’ve got perfect picture and audio quality to wrap up the show’s sixth and final season.

The final season of Lost wasn’t the best… The introduction to the series will always be its greatest triumph. The mystery of everything and what was happening on that island was something that none of us had ever seen before. Still, the sixth season was fitting when you think about the first season. There’s a ton left to interpret and grasp at the end of the show, and yes… there’s still a little bit of mystery.
