Hmm well I'd recommend a blind buy. You and LeAnn would enjoy it. The show has aired 107 episodes. It should end @ around 121 for the full 6 seasons.

No offense, but it's more like "If you're a real IDIOT you'll buy all the seasons individually and then buy the boxed set like I intend to do."
There really is no need to double dip on this set.

Well I wasn't saying that I would buy seasons 1-5 and then buy the complete collection. I was saying I'd buy 1-5 and then 6 separately or wait for the complete collection. But, based on these answers, I'm just going to hold off until August.

Yup...easiest way to keep up on all the episodes. I watched season 1 and 2 online and then bought 3 and 4 on Blu and it was just great..

I am watching Lost right now episode 14 on season 1 and i plan to just buy the seasons as i get to them seeing as it wont cost that much more then the 1-5 pack on Amazon right now.

I started on the show and got hooked as well. However for me I don't see a lot of replay value for the show. I've just been streaming the episodes through Netflix. I know it's not blu-ray quality, but it's still good and there's no waiting for discs or anything.

No replay value? Everyone has their own feelings towards the show but there's so many reasons to rewatch it lol.

I didn't mean to suggest that it's not a good show. IMO it's one of the best I've ever seen, but for me, after all the surprises are out of the bag I just don't think I'll find myself wanting to watch it all again so it wouldn't be worth it for me to buy it. This is only my opinion of course.

The main reason i see to rewatch so far(only 14th episode of 1st season) is there is little things you can miss if you don't pay close attention.

sfmarine · 02-18-2010, 02:19 AM

I totally understand..I just feel that it's really fun to back back and watched it again because there's a lot that is missed the first time etc. I do agree that the "thrill" is gone after the first viewing but that's how it always goes, unfortunately.

Exactly...wait until the plot unfolds even more in s.2 and 3. You'll want to go back and piece everything together.

Replay value? Senility has its benefits.
