 blu-ray vs. reg dvd August 29, 2008

So long as you own a blu-ray dvd player or a playstation, you need not waste money on blu-ray movies. I repeat, you need not waste money on blu-ray movies so long as you own a blu-ray dvd player. There is NO difference in picture quality between a regular dvd and a blu-ray dvd when played on a blue ray dvd player or on a playstation. However, they is a major difference in picture quality when comparing regular DVD's played on standard DVD players and blu-ray movies played on blu-ray players.
Such is the case w/ Lost season 4. Why pay double the price for Blu-ray? If you already own a blu-ray DVD player or a playstation, don't bother w/ the blu-ray version. That's because blu-ray players UPGRADE regular DVDs to the point that they look imperceptibly alike even on high-def, flat-screen televisions. In my opinion, there is no discernible difference between blu-ray discs and standard discs when played on blu-ray players.
 Top-notch TV series! August 29, 2008
This is the best season so far. This time, the episodes move from the present moment to a future one, and back again to the present (previous seasons moved from the present moment to the past). Even though future events are known, in no way does this remove the element of surprise and suspense. The script is very well written and the episodes very entertaining and unpredictable. The acting is top-notch, and you'll find yourself watching one episode after the other. Not such a bad form of addiction after all! No one will be rushing you to the nearest rehab center any time soon!
This season tries to explain many riddles, such as the famous button to push on the hour, the strange numbers, the black smoke, the polar bear, Jacob, the powers of the island, etc... However, don't expect all the answers revealed. You'll still find yourself guessing.
To really enjoy this season, I recommend you start-off with season 1 through 3. If you have not watched previous seasons, you'll be at a loss, and you probably won't enjoy this series.
I watched this season as a download from iTunes. This is the first TV series I download. I watched this series on a Sony Bravia HD TV. The picture and audio were very clear. I found no difference in terms of picture and audio quality between the download and DVD discs. In fact, the download works better for me: I don't have to wait for the DVD discs to arrive in the mail, and I don't pay any shipping charges or extra taxes. Living abroad, the cost of the series gets to be much less! I also noticed that season 4 is still on pre-order on amazon.com. For those who can't wait to watch this series I highly recommend you considering legally downloading the episodes. Downloading also preserves the environment since you won't need all the packaging. Another possible advantage to downloading is that in ten years from now you will probably be able to convert the episodes to the future format by a simple computer software. How many of you still have VHS movies? Are you able to easily and cost-effectively convert them into a computer format without expensive hardware? Having movies on your computer will be much easier to convert to the future format, and they won't take any space on your shelves!
The season ends with a very unexpected event, and I am really looking forward to season 5.
amazing August 28, 2008
no way to take the decision of stop or pause or to go for sleep by far it is the best series i have ever seen in my life thanks for everybody who participate in lost to make us happy waiting for season 5
best season of all August 27, 2008
Shortened season or not, I think this is the best season of the series so far.
In previous seasons, the intrique of character flashbacks was beginnning to dim, but the intro. to "flash-forwards" brings a whole new dimension to the show, making it like a puzzle to find out what characters end up leaving the island.
The freighter is awesome, and definitely brings lots of action and suspense to the show (more than in any other season). The characters are all well drawn as usual, and the acting is great as always too. Typical of Lost, there are plot-twists and mysterious galore, and, also typical of Lost, not much of those mysteries are resolved. The main focus is more on the frieghter situation and how the "Oceanic 6" get off the island. That in itself keeps you watching episode after episode.
Plus, the season finale is the best three hours of television I have ever been graced to see in my life.
 Bottom line = $$$$ August 20, 2008

Great season, but charging the same amount (Nearly $40) for only 14 episodes is highway robbery.
Not-to-mention that you can watch it online for free.
In this age of illegal (though easy) downloads, I've paid for the previous 3 seasons, and was looking forward to this one, but not at this price.
Fair is fair.
