    Season 4 on DVD
















    Well I managed to get my hands on an early copy of the Season 4 dvds. I have to say while these photos are terrible(thanks iPhone) I really enjoyed the packaging. Another pretty dvd box to sit next to Seasons 1-3.

    The dvd contained a nice safety message from Oceanic Airlines. It's designed to be an pamphlet on the airplane itself telling you what to do in case of emergency. One even says "if you need wheelchair assistance please see flight attendant Loche". While I didn't know Locke went to work for Oceanic, it is a little amusing.

    The DVD's themselves are pretty straight forward, since the season was shortened they give you two discs of bonus features the list includes:

    Lost Bloopers
    Audio Commentaries
    Deleted Scenes
    Lost on Location - Go on location with the cast and crew of Lost for a behind-the-scenes look at the making of some of season 4’s hottest episodes.
    Freighter Folk - Where did the folks on the freighter come from? Get to know them and find out what the show runners looked for in new cast members.
    Transforming Hawaii - From the deserted beach to urban Los Angeles, Hawaii serves as a global backdrop for the excitement and intrigue of Lost. Join the small army of technicians that transforms Hawaii to the island as they go about their duties.
    The Right to Bear Arms – Lost features a formidable array of firearms. Get real life gun profiles and find out what it’s like working with so much firepower.
    The Music of Lost – The Honolulu Symphony performs Michael Giacchino’s award-winning score live for the first time ever. Witness the power of the show’s many musical themes as well as its innovative use of instruments, and learn how music affects the production from writing to directing.

    For the most part the features are about 20 minutes a piece and will give you some insight to the making of the show. Not a lot in the way of info about the plot or anything like that.

    The deleted scenes are ok, most of them I understood why they were cut.(they didn't give us any real info about the characters or story) The one I found the most interesting was a scene where Miles, Kate, and Sayid are traveling to the Barracks. They are stopped by the giant "fence" and while Kate and Sayid are trying to figure out how to turn it off, Miles starts to do his "talking to the dead" thing he does and walks through the fence. He then tells them he doesn't "think" it's turned on. There was also a humorous scene between Hurley and Sawyer where they discuss their living situation at the Barracks.

    So get out there and pick up Season 4 on Tuesday December 9th.
