L O S T - Episode 1.01, Pilot Part 1
We open on Jack’s eye - closed.
No, wait, it’s open now. Lots of tension.
Poor innocent Jacko, he has no idea what he’s about to get himself into. Cue Vincent.
Jack is injured - the perfect excuse to meet...well, we’ll get to that. Cue the first of many, many, MANY future running-through-the-jungle scenes.
The beach seems calm...until we pan a little further left. Shannon screams, people stand around, not sure what to do because they’re not hero/leaders like our good buddy Jack. We see Charlie, Jin, we hear Michael’s first ever cries of “WALT!” They won’t be his last, but first-time viewers don’t know that yet.
Jack’s ready to jump into hero mode. And he’s off!
Locke is up & walking. Jack’s just met his pregnant half-sister, but we’re not supposed to know that yet, either. Oh the joys of a rewatch.

Jack calls on Hurley to help Claire, and Hurley is not amused. Boone is TRYING to be in hero mode too, but he’s rather unsuccessful. Jack revives Rose & off he goes again to save Hurley & Claire from the falling wing of the plane.
RUNNING + EXPLOSION SHOT! Epic.
Hurley utters the first of many “dude”s. Things have quieted down a little now. Jacko needs to collect himself but Hero!Boone interrupts. (I love Boone, don’t @ me.)
Time to dig through the dead people’s luggage for supplies to heal that wound we talked about. Shirtless!Jack makes his first appearance, aaaaaand enter K8, holding the wrist she just had handcuffs on. Yay, she can sew! Jacko tells a story to calm her nerves, because she’s just so helpless and innocent and...lost. Heh heh heh
James - I mean Sawyer - somehow already found a pack of smokes. He’s so over this scene already.
Boone tries to get cell reception (what a cutie) while Sayid makes a fire. Rose is silent.
K8 tells Jack she might throw up on him. How romantic! He tells her the infamous Count to Five story, which will come into play far too many times later on. K8 also tells Jack she’d run for the door in a tough situation & he doesn’t believe her. Hm.

No one is coming.
Shan makes herself busy relaxing & gettin’ pretty for the rescue boat. In a weird, foreshadowy twist, Hurley decides to take charge of the food sitch. Michael has found WALT. Jinsushi has such a long way to go, development-wise…

K8 wonders whether the man who’d been sitting next to her on the plane will survive his injuries. She secretly hopes he won’t, cause she’s K8 & he knows her secret. Jack felt the need to make a plane out of a leaf for some reason.
MISSION #1: find the cockpit.
“I’m goin’ with you” is uttered for the first time.
Ol’ Smokey is wandering around the campsite. (Nope, he’s not a dinosaur.) Terrific.
Flashback to the flight, Jack flirts with the flight attendant so she’ll give him more alcohol & then chats with Rose. Turbulence!
Daylight on the beach. K8 & Jack are on a mission, but first they must steal some corpse-shoes. Locke gives her an orange-peel smile, but it doesn’t seem to help.
B-O-D-Y-S, Hurley? Nice.
Charlie joins the mini-A-team on their mission. YOU ALL EVERYBODY! He flirts with K8, which is distracting because Dom & Evie dated for a minute in real life.

Aaaaaaaaaaand cue spontaneous rainstorm. Locke is the only one enjoying it.
Smokey’s back…
Mini-A-team have found the cockpit, but they won’t be happy about it for long. Pilot gives them a couple answers but he doesn’t stick around too long.
Transceiver - found. Mission: accomplished. Now time to run. Through the jungle.
1...2...3...4...5
Rain’s done! “We have to go back”...for Jack.

Pilot in a tree. Yikes.

L O S T - Episode 1.02, Pilot Part 2
Mini-A-team is headed back to the beach & feeling quite pessimistic after their run-in with the pilot & Ol’ Smokey. Flashback to Charlie’s POV of the crash, we find out why he’s so keen on the bathroom, but he’s saved by the...crash, not bell.
Shanny’s gettin’ tanny & has no interest in helping Boone. She & Claire bond a lil’ bit. I wish we’d gotten to see even more of a friendship between them, but I digress.
Jinsushi is picking sea urchins while Sun looks on disapprovingly. She’s not that great at pretending she doesn’t speak English, I don’t know how they didn’t see through it sooner.
WALT! The count’s already high & it’s only episode 2. Walt is busy looking for Vincent, but instead he finds K8’s (no one knows they’re K8’s yet) handcuffs.
Sayid & Sawyer go at it for the first (and certainly not last) time. SON OF A BITCH! Admittedly, James was being a teeny bit racist. Or a lot bit. He’ll learn. K8 shouts at them to stop but she knows the truth, so. Whatever. Angry James gives out his first nicknames: “Lardo”, which won’t stick, and “Doc”, which will.
Hurley & Sayid bond while the latter fixes the transceiver.
K8 gets half naked and stands in the ocean, because I guess we needed a gratuitous shot of Evie’s perfectly sculpted...okay, yeah, I get it. Her armpits are somehow perfectly smooth after two days. She must have gotten waxed before the trip. I bet the marshal totally let her make a spa appointment. I mean, you don’t want to escort a hairy criminal...okay, I’m done now.
Naveen Andrews is a handsome man. I never truly appreciate that enough.
Jack tends to the marshal while K8 feigns concern. She tells him she’s going on a hike without him. Jack tells her to run if she needs to, as if that isn’t already her first thought at all times. #bitter
Jinsushi has made everyone...sushi. Lolol
Hurley don’t want none, tho

MISSION #1: get a signal on the transceiver
MISSION #2: find some antibiotics
Shanny is sulking, and Boone’s not having it. She joins the mini-A-team for the hike to prove her worthfulness. James gets tired of reading his letter for the billionth time & goes along, too, because he’s “a complex guy, sweetheart.” Lots of climbing ensues.
Locke & Walt discuss the complexities of backgammon...and of life, of course. “Two players, two sides. One is light, one is dark.” A+ foreshadowing.
Jin’s sushi makes baby Aaron jiggle around a lot in Claire’s tummy. She’s happy about it.
Back with the mini-A-team, things get interesting when one of the Dharma polar bears shows up. Luckily James has a secret gun, so he’s not worried. Also, he’s a lefty. Not sure why this has never occurred to me before.
Jack continues his doctoring, sure he can fix everything as usual. Hurley attempts to help, but isn’t actually that great of a nurse.
James has to own up to why he’s got a gun. K8 uses her acting skills & we have to endure a “moment” between her & James, the beginning of the grossest love triangle known to man. We find out - what’s that? Oh right - SHE’S the criminal the marshal was escorting. I mean, at least she had the courtesy to put an oxygen mask on him after stealing his keys, so that’s something, I guess.
The mini-A-team picks up Danielle’s distress signal, and luckily Shanny’s there to translate. My girl is anything but worthless. Just FYI.
NEW MISSION: find the radio tower
