HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE COUNTDOWN: #7 LOST: THE COMPLETE FIFTH SEASON DHARMA INITIATIVE ORIENTATION KIT BLURAY

by Canfield, December 21, 2009 10:28 PM


ABCs decision to broadcast the fifth season in murky 720 dpi is corrected here so fans who've been waiting for gorgeous HD 1080p clarity get all they could want here. The question is do they want more? I'm a huge fan of the show but can't help feeling a tiny bit disappointed that this is all they could come up with for gift packaging. You basically get a retro looking cardboard box. Then again this thing does have a serious LARP aspect to it and this edition is tailor made for anyone who likes that. 

Lost will go down in TV history as one of the greatest adventure shows ever. Naysayers have complained that the show is aimless but the faithful can't wait to see how this thing is going to wrap up. And the characters of Lost have made the ride more than worth it. 


The Special Features on this thing are going to take a long time to get through:


VHS Orientation Video for New Recruits

Limited Edition Collectible embroidered DHARMA Patches - MAY Include               Exclusive Submarine Patch
