I have no idea what I think about the end of Lost. (Don't tell me Jacob did not time travel her because she is a mother: so was Kate and he offered her the job.) I feel like Walt, and Aaron, and Dharma, and time travel, should mean something - I don't want to feel like Jin time travelled and Sun did not for no reason other than the writers thought it would be more dramatic to keep them apart. I want to see plots reach their natural conclusion, but I can also be convinced to care about something else.
I was also going to talk about how much I love Kill Bill (the two volumes as one movie), and how I wanted one ending (BIG FIGHT SCENE), and got something totally different (The Bride and Bill did not even get out of their chairs) - and was totally satisfied. Best shot- The introduction of John Locke, orange in mouth and all.I was going to start off here with a gag about that Chekov line where if you have a loaded gun in the first act you have to have it go off in the third, and I was going to say something about how Lost has a small arsenal of unused weapons. Best scene- The first ever flashback aboard Flight 815 just before the crash.

Abrams proves his worth as director here, setting the bar for excellence in direction on this show and TV in general fairly high here. When you look at how well it manages to introduce and develop these characters in 40 minutes it is an outstanding achievement, but for pure entertainment value and rewatchability when compared to many other episodes of the series? It's not quite one of the best episodes, and the second part of the pilot vastly improves on this. "Pilot, Part 1" is iconic because it's the episode that hooked most of the people that are faithful to "Lost" to this day. Few pilot episodes accomplish that much and to be honest it is Part 2 of the "Lost" pilot that it successful in that regard- very, very successful. By the end of that episode you get the basic premise for the show, the characters, the nemesis, etc.
Take for example one of the great pilot episodes in my opinion- "The Way Back" from Blake's 7.

However, as with most pilot episodes, I find this script becomes too bogged down in being an introductory piece that it doesn't quite blossom as a full episode. The subtle introduction of numerous characters makes for outstanding character writing as well. The opening episode of "Lost" will always be iconic- that opening shot of Jack's eye, the progressive heightening of the tension in Michael Giacchino's music, and Matthew Fox's excellent acting as the character of Jack slowly realizes the scope of what just happened. Other survivors with mysterious pasts are introduced: The Iraqi with personal demons Sayid the bumblingly awkward Hurley the determined John Locke the unpleasant and unfriendly self-serving swindler and sociopath Sawyer who tests everyone's patience the very pregnant Australian teenager Claire Littleton the bickering non-English speaking Korean couple Jin and Sun Kwon a friendly guy, Michael Dawson who is overprotective of his estranged 10-year-old son Walt and the egoistical, spoiled, rich girl, Shannon, who quarrels with her estranged older half-brother Boone. Jack, Kate and Charlie, a former British rock music player and heroin junkie, venture into the jungle to locate the pilot cockpit to find the transciever and come up against a mysterious and unseen island "beast".
The first day on the island is full of monsters, countdowns, screams, stories of the past and an unfolding love story between the quick-thinking Jack Shepherd, a doctor, and the level-headed Kate Austen, a mysterious young woman. Following a horrific plane crash, 48 survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 from Sydney, Australia to Los Angeles, California, USA, find themselves on an uncharted tropical island in the South Pacific Ocean that is full of secrets, as they come to learn.
