 great continuation of a great storyMar 10, 2010
This season gives many questions but is still a good telling of an ongoing story. Can't wait to pick up the fourth season.

After the utter lostness of Season 2, watching the first 6 or 7 episodes, you'd think you have been caught in a time-warp where Season 2 never died. But don't worry folks, the brutal tediousness of the beginning of the season was not to keep this season down, and in fact, it's provided the show some of its best & most underrated moments in the history of the show. Sure, it may be small pieces in a big puzzle, but almost every minute of the 2nd half of this season is simply enthralling.
Highlight Episodes:
Flashes Before Your Eyes
The Man from Tallahassee
Exposé
The Man Behind the Curtain
Through the Looking Glass
Season 3 is all about those mysterious Others, a group with the weirdest sense of motives, or lack thereof ever conceived on television. For the first 6 episodes, you got intimate knowledge of their polar bear cages, and the general complex of the zoological facility, which you would never really see again. But hey, you got a lot of tedious dialogue, a lot of Jack being stupid, Kate being the point in a love triangle/quadrangle. Make no mistake about it, if you did not watch these episodes back to back through the wonders of DVD, I feel sorry for you. It's hard enough dealing with this tediousness over a night, much less months.
But again, all is not Lost, because the producers saw the error in their Season 2-type ways, and sought to correct them. We got some Desmond flash-forwarding with one of the most emotional moments the serious produced up until that point. We got some AWESOME Locke dialogue and interactions with Ben Linus, including a lot of Ben Linus vs. John Locke.
And then of course, we have Nikki & Paulo. Oh, that infamous duo that was so eloquently summed up by Sawyer as, "Who the hell are you?" Sure, I wanted to slap them every moment they were breathing until they got an episode of their own, but once they did get a flashback episode, one could consider it one of the worst Lost episodes of all time, or one of its worst. There was strippers fighting crime, hilarious flashbacks that tried REALLY hard to show that this duo was there the WHOLE time (What? You didn't see them in the background doing nothing?), and really atrocious dialogue/acting. I mean, they even conceived an excuse for why Paulo was going to the bathroom in almost every previous scene we had seen him in before! But alas, these truly awful, annoying characters were literally buried alive, set to some of the most inappropriate clapping I've ever done. Oh, Nikki & Paulo, how will I ever get by without you? Just fine actually.
Heck, the producers actually made Charlie likable again, right before they killed him off. I mean, they tried so hard to make him a jerk last season, and here he is making the top 5 moments of his life, and heck, we actually like him again! What's worse is, we genuinely root for him! Oh, how easy we forget. Sure, Jack & Kate are basically the same as last season, continuing their characters' downward spiral. But hey, Sawyer is as hilarious as ever, Hurley is as lovable as ever, and hey, we finally did away with full-time flashbacks! Oh Lost, how far you came in such a short span of time.
Overall, watching this season is one of the most satisfying of the show, especially since you get such plentiful, awesome moments after sitting through so much tediousness at the beginning. Underrated, Season 3 will always have a special place in my heart, if only for the reason that it truly made what Lost became later.

Lost Season 3Feb 18, 2010
SPOILER ALERT: If you have not seen the first two seasons of Lost you may want to wait to read this review. This will either give things away, or confuse you as you watch the first two seasons.
Things start to really heat up on the island as Jack (Matthew Fox), Sawyer (Josh Holloway), and Kate (Evangeline Lilly) find themselves prisoners of "The Others", who might need more from them than they're letting on. As for the other survivors of Oceanic 815, Mr. Eko (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) and Locke (Terry O' Quinn) find another hatch which may prove that pushing a button every 108 minutes in the first hatch is futile. Could "The Others" be their chance to get off the island? Why hasn't anyone come to save the survivors of Oceanic 815? Where did "The Others" come from? What will happen if they don't push that button? What is the purpose of the Dharma Initiative? Some of these questions will be answered, and so many more will be asked by the end of the third season!
The first two seasons of Lost don't even begin to prepare you for what comes next, which is fine by me! One of the great things about Lost is it's compelling storyline that always keeps you guessing, and as time goes by I, all at once, feel that I wish I would have seen this when it first aired on TV and that I'm glad I waited. Watching all of this at once means that I don't have to wait after an episode to see what's going to happen next, but at the same time I can't really talk to anyone who's already seen the series about what happened in the episode I watched last night because they're already way beyond that. But here I am, a little closer to getting caught up with the series.
After season 2 which really felt more like a place holder between seasons 1 and 3, season 3 really gets the ball rolling on what the show's really about. Unlike the previous 2 seasons, season 3 might introduce you to new characters, but because those characters are meant to be shrouded in secrecy it doesn't do much to really introduce them. This lack of introduction allows the story to propel forward faster than the previous two seasons. Not only do you get flashbacks in season 3, but now you have flash forwards as well. The way that everything's set up is brilliant storytelling, even if it doesn't give you the satisfaction of a quick and easy payoff.
More new characters are added to the roster this season, most of which aren't really explained too much as they serve the purpose of fleshing out characters in flashbacks and flash forwards, or to further the story of "The Others". Of these new characters Elizabeth Mitchell (V, Gia) as Juliet is the most important. Of course, there's always the stand outs in the crowd, and Terry O' Quinn continues to shine as John Locke, but in his first full season Michael Emerson as the oily Benjamin Linus upstages everyone. As a master manipulator bending everyone to his needs, Michael Emerson is the true star of this season.
As with season 2 there is a slight problem of some characters doing things that seem to be more about moving the story along rather than being in the best interest of what the characters would or wouldn't do. While not as bad as the second season in this aspect, it can still be distracting as you move along through the series. Of course, this isn't a major problem, as the twists and turns of the plot may leave you more distracted than the character's acting against type at times, and those twists and turns keep your further invested in the story.
In my opinion, season 3 is really where Lost kicks off. The first two seasons get you into the characters, but the third season starts to answer some of the questions and pushes you into the direction of where everything is heading. Of course, by the end you'll probably be asking more questions than what you had answered, but the intrigue will leave you hungry for more.
4.5/5
A wandering we will go...Feb 15, 2010
I won't go deep, but simply say that if you are a true fan, this will add to the mystery, answer a few questions, create more questions and infuriate you to no end. Sometimes it will be the good kind, sometimes the disappointing kind. But overall, as I said, if you're a fan - and I am a fan - you will like more than you dislike.
