Lost: Question about Season 2 DVDs

[bratwurst]

Would have posted this in the other Lost threads but I'm a little apprehensive about opening them as I'm about halfway through season 2 by watching DVDs. I just started watching this show through renting DVD's from netflix a few months ago.

I'm trying to watch them quickly now to get up to date and watch season 3 on broadcast tv. I've tivo'd the episode from earlier this week.

Here's my question, the season 1 DVD's had a disk at the end that was bonus stuff, and when I rented it I didn't watch any of it really. I kind of don't like to see the "behind the scenes" or "making of" stuff as it kind of ruins the experience a bit for me. So, my question is, did anyone see the Season 2 DVD bonus stuff? Should I rent this disk? If it has some stuff that is actually storyline based, or cool little features on the plotline, then I might be interested. If its behind the scenes or interviews with the cast and writers then I'm probably not interested.

Anyone seen it?

Thanks

zap2it makes it sound like Disc 7 is all special features and Hanso videos;

But it's Disc Seven that will surely keep the faithful busy until the series returns in October -- a supplemental collection, billed as "Lost: The Extended Experience," packed full of additional mysteries.

Presented as one of those deliciously opaque Dharma Initiative orientation films, the disc offers three separate sections.

"Phase I: Observation" is the conventional making-of material, with a half-hour look at the production of the episode "Fire + Water," ten "Lost: On Location" featurettes totalling an additional 45 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage, and "The World According to Sawyer," a silly little featurette that lets the cast share their favorite memories of everyone's favorite redneck.

"Phase II: Conditioning" pops the top on 14 deleted scenes, three deleted flashbacks, a blooper reel and a lovely video shot by David LaChapelle for British television. (If you've only seen it online, the quality of this version will take your breath away.)

Finally, there's "Phase III: Conclusion." If the previous phases sounded like ordinary DVD supplements, this one makes good on the promise of going further and deeper into the show than ever before.

There's "Secrets from the Hatch," a 15-minute look at the conception, construction and employment of the elaborate Dharma Swan station, celebrating both the mesmerizing detail of the gargantuan set and its remarkable impact on the characters.

The 10-minute featurette "Mysteries, Theories and Conspiracies" explores certain symbols and icons that recur throughout the season, including those accursed Virgin Mary statues and the mysterious Alvar Hanso.

And finally, there's "Lost Connections," which uses an insanely complicated interface to illustrate the seemingly endless connections that exist between the passengers of Oceanic 815. Pick a character, and follow the strands that connect him or her to just about everyone else on the flight ... but be ready to spend a few hours in front of the TV doing so. It's kind of irresistible.

Cool thanks - the description at NetFlix is the same for every dvd in the season set so I didn't really know what to expect. And I'm apprehensive about going and looking for stuff because I'm worried I'll find something out I don't want to before finishing the other episodes.
