This series of hieroglyphs translates as "The summoned one ordains it." (Hieroglyphs)

  • The UK Blu-ray Disc release did not include the HMV bonus disc extras on the set, which were only released on the standard DVD set. However, the bonus DVD was available with the Blu-ray Disc set.

Disc 5:

  • When you first view the disc, the menu background is a picture of the statue from behind. Selecting "Bonus Features" takes you to a menu with the statue seen from the beach in "The Incident, Parts 1 & 2". When you try to select an option, an explosion is heard and the menu changes to all white with the options at odd angles.

Trivia

  • The Season 5 DVD has the least amount of discs, one less than Season 4, even though Season 4 had fewer episodes.
    • However Season 4 did have two bonus discs, instead of one to make up for fewer episodes.
  • This season has the least amount of audio commentaries on only two episodes, also its the first season to not have any actors taking part in the commentaries.
  • "The Incident, Parts 1 & 2" was split into two separate episodes for this DVD release, as with most seasons. However due to the split, the order of scenes in the two episodes have been drastically altered from the original broadcast on ABC to make it "flow" better. While all finales are altered slightly for the DVD split, Season 5's seems to be heavily edited. Some of the differences are:
    • There is no "Previously on Lost" on part 1.
    • There were a few lines cut from Rose and Bernard's scene. They never said the line "because we're retired" and the question before that was cut. The cut parts can be seen on the exclusive HMV/JB HiFi DVD feature "Rose and Bernard's Retirement".
    • There is a "Previously on Lost" added to the start of part 2, recapping the events of part 1.
    • On the original broadcast, the second half of the hour (40 mins) starts with Locke and Richard arriving at the statue. In this DVD cut, the scene was moved half way into part 2 and Locke's flashback followed it, when Locke's flashback was originally in Part 1 just after the Cabin is burned. Hurley's flashback was the last one to feature on the TV broadcast. This means Locke's party is not featured until late into part 2.
      • These versions of these episodes aired on Sky1 in the UK, instead of the ABC version.
  • A version of the fifth season with six discs was also released in Brazil's video rental stations from April 29th to August 12nd, 2009. Each disc contained three episodes, except the last one that contained the season's last two-hour episode, and none of them had bonus features. The normal version was also released.[8]
