The episodes Pilot (Parts 1 & 2) were written by J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof, and were directed by J.J. Abrams. They originally aired separately, on September 22nd, 2004 and September 29th, 2004. Despite what everyone might think, these are the only two episodes of LOST written and/or directed by J.J. Abrams. Damon Lindelof steered the ship when J.J. left. Give credit where credit is due.

This is a Jack Shephard, Kate Austen, and Charlie Pace flashback-centric episode.

We begin with the opening of Dr. Jack Shephard's eye, which is quite moving when looking back at the entire series of LOST in hindsight. When you realize that it ended where it all began, it is a chilling moment to watch this scene again.

The Entire Series of LOST Chronologically in 8 Minutes

Initial Reaction to "Across the Sea"

Well... That was confusing. For the first half of this episode, I wasn't even sure that I was watching the right show. It felt a little hokey to me. It was like Alice's Adventures in Wonderland meets Lord of the Flies. I was not expecting to get the answers that we got, nor was I expecting to get them in the way that we did. I'm still very confused, and I think that I'm going to have to watch this episode about ten times to understand it even a little, because in LOST, every answer raises about ten new questions. But, to be fair, that's what I've always liked about this show. The thought process is exponential. I've never even come close to expecting every question to be answered. In fact, I don't even want them to. I want to think about this forever, however, I don't want to be frustrated. I want to know what's across the damn sea... Somewhere, waiting for me... Alright, look, I know that's not the song, but as soon as I found out this episode's title, before it even aired, I started singing that to myself. Let's talk about "Across the Sea" and how I now feel bad for the nameless "Man in Black" even though he just killed all my damn friends...

Initial Reaction to "The Candidate"

WOW. That definitely was the most shocking and emotionally heart-wrenching episode of the season so far. I think that I cried pretty much the entire time that I was watching it. It was beyond incredibly sad. I had to watch the episode three times just to get it to sink in, and I think I'm still in utter shock. I don't even know what to say right now, so let's just get into the episode before the waterworks come...

From Lostpedia

Initial Reaction to "Ab Aeterno"

WOW. That was so incredibly compelling. I was in the story from beginning to end. The storytelling in this episode was gripping and heart-wrenching. I don't think that I've ever been this quickly invested into a character's backstory since we were first introduced to Desmond's story in Live Together, Die Alone. From the moment we saw Ricardo on that horse; I was sold. I'm excited, so enough with the chit-chat, let's talk, in great detail, about how incredible this episode was.

From Lostpedia

Initial Reaction to "Sundown"

I enjoyed this episode a lot. It wasn't the best thus far this season, and it definitely wasn't the worst either, but the action in it was just awesome. It also was probably one of the darkest and most disturbing episodes of LOST in a long time (The Man Behind the Curtain always freaked me the hell out.). I strongly disagree with those who are becoming quite frustrated and keep saying that these episodes are "filler" and nothing is really happening. These people need to remember that the reason that LOST drew us all in was its characters. Those wonderful characters lead us to the mythology. That mythology lead us to answers eventually. If I didn't have patience, I would have never kept watching this show. I love LOST for its many questions, its mythology, and the fact that it challenges me to think and to learn and grow as a person, and that is all rooted in the characters. I truly believe that the character and mythology building is going somewhere. Believe me, if it doesn't soon, I will be the first to object. But, the thing is, I've spent six years obsessing over this show. I'm going to let myself enjoy it now. I'm not going to spend what little is left of it complaining. If you want to watch a show that doesn't make you think or leave you wondering, go which HEROES (Sorry to those who still watch it, but it's true.). LOST is still a good show. This is the story that the LOST creators/producers/writers wanted to tell, and I respect that, because for six years they have earned that respect from me. I trust that they will take this where it was meant to go. That's all I have to say about that. Also, Sayid is awesome. Now on with the show...

From Lostpedia

Initial Reaction to "The Substitute"

This was a great episode. It had great story. It had mythology. It had John Locke! This was far better than last week's episode. Again, I still don't think last week's episode was bad by any means, though a whole lot slower, with a lot less dense mythology. It appears as though they're following the format of the episode-centrics from Season One, which is very interesting. Overall, I'm really enjoyed this episode a lot, and would so as far to say that it's my favorite this season so far, although, obviously, there's not much to choose from. I took A LOT of notes on this episode, so let's get into it.

From Lostpedia

Season Premiere, Initial Reaction to "LA X (Parts 1 & 2)"

WOW. After about 18 hours, and watching it for a second time, I'm still trying to process last night's episode. You would think that after about Five Seasons of an intricate and confusing Television Show, that it would be a little less confusing and hard to wrap your brain around in its Final Season. Nope. I am more confused now than ever before, which is not to say that I don't like where it is headed or that I don't have some theories on said-heading. The biggest thing that I feel coming out of last night's Season Premiere of LOST is that I am proud to say that I watch this show. Sure, sometimes it makes me want to bang my head against a wall, and sometimes I don't agree with the turns it takes, BUT. This show is fearless, and perhaps the most fearless Television Show to ever grace Network Television. It's not afraid to shock us. It's not afraid to kill of our main characters. Hell, it's not even afraid to make an ISLAND a main character, move it through space and time, create an alternate timeline, and then sink it to the bottom of the ocean. For that, I am proud, because LOST doesn't assume that I am not intelligent enough or that I don't have the patience to be challenged into venturing into the unknown. This is one of the many reasons that LOST is not just a Television Show. It is knowledge. It is infinite possibilities. It's not afraid to take risks, to take a chance, to teach us something about ourselves. And as much as I will be so sad when this show ends, I am glad that it's ending.

Questions & Predictions on LOST SEASON SIX!

I can't believe that it's finally here. I've spent over five years religiously, and almost frighteningly, dedicated to this show. I watched from the first moment it was on the screen. Who would've thought that I'd be here right now and that I'd learn so much from a television show. It feels bittersweet right now, as I am glad that it is ending because we'll get the story that was supposed to be told, but I'm also sad. But for right now, I'm going to be excited, and I am sure that when it all comes to an end, I'll spent a lot of time reflecting on the series as a whole.

Here are some of my thoughts, questions and predictions for the FINAL SEASON OF LOST (!!!):

Some of the questions that I ABSOLUTELY NEED answered:

• What is the Smoke Monster? How was it created?
• Why is it afraid of the security fences but can be summoned from inside the barracks?
• How is the island moving through time and space?
• Why is Desmond special? Will he go back to the island?
• Why is Walt special? Will we ever see him again?
• What is Richard Alpert's story? How did he get to the island?
• Why doesn't he age? Why did Jacob do that to him?
• What is the story of the Black Rock? How did it get to the middle of the island?
• What is the sickness? Did Rousseau have it?
• What or who are the whispers?
• Who are Adam and Eve?
• Did the bomb go off? Is it what caused the incident?
• Who is the good guy, Jacob or the Man in Black?
• What are the rules and why must there be a loophole?
• How did Jacob and the Man in Black get to the island?
• When and how was the four-toed statue destroyed?
• Is Aaron special? If so, why?
• What happened to Claire? Did she die?
• Will she ever find out that Jack is her brother?
• Why did Desmond have a flash of Claire getting on a helicopter?
• Will Claire and Aaron ever be reunited?
• Will Claire or Aaron ever get Charlie's ring?
• Will John Locke ever get redemption?
• Is Christian Shephard really dead? Was he on the island before?
• Why did Jacob visit some survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 at an early age?
• Why did he visit some as an adult and some after the crash?
• Why did Jacob touch some of them?
• Why can't women give birth on the island?
• What is the significance of the numbers? Why are they cursed?
• Who built the frozen donkey wheel?
• What is The Temple for? Who created it?
• Who was the first to discover the island?
• Why is the island capable of healing people?
• Why does the island have a pocket of electromagnetism?
• How did The Swan fix that problem and why didn't they just built an automated system?
• Is Sayid dead? Is Juliet dead? Is John Locke really dead?
• Why did it seem as if Jacob was prepared to die? Did he know what was going to happen?
• What is the significance of the hieroglyphs on the island?
• Why did they all have to go back to the island?
• What is the island? Why is it special? Why are they all there?

Things I'm (somewhat) okay with not having an answer for:

• What's Libby's story? Why was she in Santa Rosa? Was she working for Widmore?
• Who and where is Annie? What happened to her?
• What happened to the Hurley bird?
• Why was Ilana covered in bandages and speaking Russian?
• Who killed Nadia? Was it Ben? Did Jacob save Sayid or kill Nadia?
• Was Richard Malkin a fraud or did he know Claire's plane would crash on the island?
• Why do the others always say they're the good guys?
• Why do they kidnap children?
• What happened with Walt when he was with the others?
• What is the magic box?
• How did Anthony Cooper get to the island?
• When did the purge occur? Who was in charge of it?
• Why did Radzinsky build a blast door map if he knew where the stations all were already?
• Did Radzinsky really kill himself?
• Why did Richard say that he watched them all die?
• How did Ben and others get to and from the island so freely and how often did they leave?

Predictions for the Final Season (I know of NO SPOILERS whatsoever.):

• John Locke will get some sort of redemption.
• We will find out who Adam and Eve are.
• We probalby won't find out more about Walt, unfortunately.
• However, I think Walt having dreams about John Locke and what he says to him about him "wearing a suit, and people standing around you, trying to hurt you." are significant.
• I'm almost positive that we will finally get a Richard Alpert backstory.
• (More of a hope than a prediction.) PLEASE let the love triangle be over.
• Desmond will be important. We will learn why he is special and why the rules just don't apply to him.
• I'm starting to lean more and more toward them not crashing on the island, and landing in Los Angeles.
• We will finally find out what the island is and why they are there.
• We will learn more about the bomb going off, if it actually did, and what happens as a result of that.
• I really feel like the whole story is somehow going to come full circle, and I've felt that way since some time late in Season 2. I would not be surprised if the ending to the show was actually the beginning in some form or fashion and we learned that all we've watched was a way of getting everything right and back to the way it's supposed to be somehow. That would not shock me. 
• The two opposing sides have been going on for a long time. There's Jacob and the Man in Black, Benjamin Linus and Charles Widmore, Jack Shephard and John Locke. There will be great significance to this.
• This has all probably been going on for a very long time, and has taken a very long time to get to whatever the end point actually is. All of these people are special because they fix the timeline somehow.
• My biggest hope for the ending is that it will be left with some mystery and it will be something that grows on you over time, becoming more and more significant and mind-blowing as you think about it. I want it to be something that was clearly there all along, but never in your face; something that makes you go back and watch every episode again and you can't believe that you didn't see it.
• I really trust the writers of this show, so regardless of if there will be things I like or not, which I'm sure there will be, I believe it will all work itself out in a satisfying way.
• It will be amazing, scary, awesome, mind-blowing, bittersweet, sad, happy.
• I can't wait!

That all being said, I don't expect every question I have to be answered. I fully expect, and actually hope, that some of the mysteries will be able to live on forever. It will be what keeps people watching and talking about this show for years and years to come, and it is what LOST deserves. I'm sure there will be some things that I am disappointed in, but I have faith and am now, after five years, just along for the journey.

From Lostpedia

11. At The Hydra building, in Ben's former office, he's looking for something, opening drawers, he finds a photograph of him and Alex, Locke comes in, asks what's that, Ben says that it's just something sentimental, folds it, puts it in his pocket, Locke says so this is his old office, that he never pictured him leading his people from behind a desk, seems a little corporate, Locke sits at Ben's desk, puts his feet up, Ben asks if there was something that he needed, Locke says that he was hoping they could talk about the elephant in the room, Ben says he's assuming that he's referring to the fact that he killed him, Locke says yeah, Ben says that it was the only way to get him back to the island, along with as many who left as possible, he says you do remember, that's why he left in the first place, to convince them to come back, and he failed, the only way to do that was for him to die, and he understood that, that's why he was about to kill himself, but Ben stopped him, Locke asks if all he had to do was die, then why did he stop him, Ben says that he had critical information that would have died with him, and once he'd given it to him, well he just didn't have time to talk him back into hanging himself, so he took a shortcut, but he's here, he's back, just like the rest of them, he doesn't know where they are exactly yet, but they came, it worked, and that's why he did it, because it was in the best interest of the island, Locke says he was just hoping for an apology, says he's decided to help him, Ben says help him do what, Locke says do what he says he was going to do, be judged, Ben says that's not something he wants to see, Locke says if everything he did was in the best interest of the island, then he's sure the monster will understand, Locke says let's go. From Lostpedia

Locke "It was the only way to get you back to the Island, along with as many of those who left as possible. You do remember, John--that's why you left in the first place, to convince them to come back? But you failed. And the only way to bring them together was by your death, and you understood that. It's why you were about to kill yourself when I stopped you." Ben "If all I had to do was die, Ben, they why did you stop me?" Locke "You had critical information that would've died with you. And once you'd given it to me... well, I just didn't have time to talk you back into hanging yourself. So, I took a shortcut. And look at you, John. I was right. You're here. You're back. So are the rest of them. I don't know where yet exactly, but they came. It worked. And that's why I did it, because it was in the best interests of the Island." Ben
13. "If everything you've done has been in the best interests of the Island... then I'm sure the Monster will understand." Locke
14. On the beach, they uncover some of the outrigger canoes, Caesar comes up, asks Locke what he's doing, he says he's taking a boat, Caesar says where, Lock says over to the main island, Caesar says he doesn't think so, Locke says are these your boats, Caesar says are they yours, Locke says his name is Caesar, that he was under the impression that they were found here, so he's just going to borrow one, he's happy to leave one for him in case he wants to follow us, Caesar says us, asks Ben if he's going with him, Ben says that he didn't really give him a choice, Caesar says he's sorry, but he's calling the shots here, and he says that he's not taking anything, what he's going to do is sit down and tell him how he knows so much about this island, my friend, Locke hits the sand out of his shoes, says Caesar is in the habit of calling people friend, but he doesn't think he means it, Caesar says to step away from the boat, Locke says no, that he's taking the boat, and he's going to let him, Caesar says he's not taking anything, goes to grab his gun, Ben asks if he's looking for this, takes his gun out, shoots Caesar, tells the others that this gentleman and I are taking a boat, asks if anyone else has a problem with that, they back off, Ben throws the gun to Locke, says to consider that his apology. From Lostpedia
15. "I'm sorry, but I'm calling the shots here, and I say you are not taking anything. What you are going to do is to sit down and tell us how you know so much about this Island, my friend." Caesar
16. " You looking for this? [Ben fires, blowing Caesar away. Struck square in the chest, Caesar flies backwards with a grunt. Ben turns the gun to the other three men.] This gentleman and I are taking a boat. Does anyone else have a problem with that? [Stunned, the other three men shake their heads and back away. Ben throws the shotgun to Locke, who catches it.] Consider that my apology." Ben
17. Locke and Ben paddling the outrigger canoe, they dock at the Pala Ferry, Ben says home sweet home, Locke notices another outrigger there, he says that it looks like they're not the first ones who decided to tie up there, Ben says that would be Sun and Lapidus, he says that he showed them where the boats were, and Sun thanked him by smashing him on the head with a paddle, Locke sits on the dock to put his shoes back on, Locke asks Ben if she's the one that hurt his arm, that he noticed he was favoring it on the way over, Ben says no, someone else hurt his arm, Locke says that he just makes friends everywhere he goes, doesn't he, Ben says that he's found that sometimes friends could be significantly more dangerous that enemies, Locke asks if that's why he shot an unarmed man in the chest, Ben says that the man was unarmed because he'd stolen his gun that he was going to use to kill him, that he couldn't let that happen, he says you're welcome, Locke asks if they're going to his old house, aren't they, Ben says yes, it's the only place he can summon it, the monster, and once it arrives he'll either be forgiven or he won't, Locke says he thinks he's lying, Ben says lying about what, Locke says that he wants to be judged for leaving the island and coming back because it's against the rules, but he doesn't think that Ben cares about rules, Ben asks then what does he want to be judged for, Locke says for killing his daughter, Ben is surprised. From Lostpedia
18. "It's the only place I can summon it... the "monster." Once it arrives, I'll either be forgiven... or I won't." Ben "I think you're lying." Locke "Lying about what?" Ben "That you want to be judged for leaving the Island and coming back because it's against the rules. I don't think you care about rules." Locke "Then what do I want to be judged for, John?" Ben "For killing your daughter." Locke
19. Ben and Ethan with Alex, they get back to their camp, Charles Widmore asks, well did he do it, Ben says they had a complication, Widmore says he's sorry, asks is that a baby, he says that his orders were to exterminate that woman, Ben says why, she's not a threat to them, she's insane, besides, he didn't tell him that she had a child, asks what was it he was supposed to do, Widmore says kill it, Ben says it's not an it, it's a child, Widmore says he might find it difficult to understand, but that every decision he's made has been about protecting this island, Ben says is killing the baby what Jacob wants, Ben says then here she is, hands to Alex over to Widmore, says you do it, Widmore scoffs at him, walks away, Ben holds Alex, Richard watches.
