List of Lost episodes

Lost is an American serial drama television series that premiered on September 22, 2004 on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC). The series was created by J. J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof, based upon an original pilot script titled Nowhere written by Jeffrey Lieber.[1] Six seasons of the show aired, in addition to numerous clip shows to recap previous episodes. ABC announced that Lost would end after six seasons, having produced a total of 121 episodes.[2]

The series follows the past, present, future and after lives of the survivors of a plane crash, after a passenger jet, Oceanic Flight 815, flying from Sydney to Los Angeles crashes on a tropical island in the South Pacific, as well as the lives of other people on the island. They include the "Others", who initially antagonize the survivors, as well as a group of people who arrive on the freighter Kahana. Each episode typically features action on the island as well as a secondary storyline from another point in a character's life.

In the following list, the term "Featured character(s)" refers to the character or characters who are featured in the secondary storyline of each episode. "Series #" refers to the episode's number in the overall series, whereas "Season #" refers to the episode's number in each particular season. "U.S. viewers in millions" refers to the number of Americans in millions who watched the episode live. However, for season four and future seasons these numbers also include Americans who recorded the episode and watched it within seven days of broadcast.

A total of 121 episodes of Lost were produced, the last of which aired on May 23, 2010. At present, seasons 1–5 are available on DVD in Regions 1–4 and on Blu-ray in Regions A and B.

Seasons

Season 1: 2004–2005

Season one aired from September 22, 2004 to May 25, 2005. In addition to the twenty-four regular episodes in season one, a special, "Lost: The Journey", aired on April 27, 2005 to put the mysteries of the island and the characters in perspective in the lead-up to the season finale. In the UK, the two hour season finale Exodus: Part 2 was further split into two episodes, creating an "Exodus: Part 3", even though they both aired on the same night. The original airdates (U.S.) are listed here for each episode.

Season one begins when a plane crash strands the surviving passengers of Oceanic Flight 815 on a seemingly deserted tropical island, forcing the group of strangers to work together to stay alive. However, their survival is threatened by several mysteries, including the contents of a hatch buried in the ground, an unknown entity that roams the jungle, and the motives of the inhabitants known as the "Others". Season one covers a narrated time of 44 days.

Michelle Rodriguez, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and Cynthia Watros joined the main cast as Ana Lucia, Mr. Eko, and Libby, respectively.

Season 4: 2008

Season four began airing on January 31, 2008 and concluded on May 29, 2008. Production began in August 2007 and was prematurely stopped in November 2007 due to the writers strike. The original plan was to air all sixteen episodes in one consecutive block, uninterrupted by repeats.[93] After the strike was resolved, it was decided that the remaining story for the season would be condensed into what co-creator Damon Lindelof called a "lean, mean five". This would include a three hour finale, after Lindelof and Carlton Cuse petitioned ABC. Due to the time lost to the strike there was a mini-hiatus after the eighth episode had aired. The series resumed with its post-strike episodes on April 24, 2008.

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Dominic Monaghan, and Kiele Sanchez and Rodrigo Santoro, who played Mr. Eko, Charlie, and Nikki and Paulo, respectively, left the cast during the third season making way for Harold Perrineau to return to the main cast as Michael. Alongside Perrineau, three new actors joined the main cast. Jeremy Davies, Ken Leung, and Rebecca Mader play Daniel Faraday, Miles Straume, and Charlotte Lewis respectively.

Season 4 continues the story 91 days after the crash. The season focuses on the survivors splitting into two groups, after making contact with a freighter off-shore. Throughout the season, flashforwards show the lives of the "Oceanic Six", five original survivors and Aaron who make it off the island and have returned to their old lives. The season takes place over 17 days.

Season 5: 2009

Season five began airing on January 21, 2009 and ended on May 13, 2009 featuring seventeen episodes.[13] A clip show recapping the first four seasons preceded the premiere.[107] Season five follows two time lines. The first takes place on the island, where the remaining survivors begin to erratically jump forward and backward through time, following the island being moved in both space and time by Ben, and focuses on the events that lead up to Locke stopping the time jumps and leaving the Island. The second takes place off the island following Locke's death and deals with Jack and Ben's attempt to reunite the Oceanic Six and return to the island with Locke's dead body.[108] The second part of the season starts after the time jumps end and the Oceanic Six return to the island on Ajira Airways Flight 316. The show continues to follow two time lines, both of which take place on the island. The first takes place in 1977 when the survivors who had been left behind are stranded after jumping around in time. It is also where some of the Oceanic Six are transported during the return flight to the island. The second takes place in late 2007 after Flight 316 is forced to crash land on the island.

Harold Perrineau, who plays Michael Dawson, left the cast at the conclusion of the fourth season. Emilie de Ravin, who plays Claire Littleton, was placed on a holding contract, but she returned in the sixth and final season of Lost as a main cast member.

Season 6: 2010

The sixth and final season premiered on February 2, 2010, with a two-hour premiere preceded by a one-hour clip show [125] The show continued from February 9, 2010 at its new time slot of Tuesdays at 9 p.m. with a total of 18 episodes airing in 16 broadcasts, and ended with a four-and-a-half hour series finale on Sunday May 23, 2010. The finale began with a two-hour recap special, and continued with the two-and-a-half hour final episode.[126] This aired in Ireland on RTÉ Two on Monday May 24, 2010 after a last-minute decision to bring the showing forward by three days "in the interest of Lost's loyal audiences who followed all 6 series on RTÉ Two".[127]

This season introduced "flash-sideways." It represents a world created by the collective minds of the Oceanic 815 survivors for their souls to find one another in the afterlife, as revealed in the finale.

Jeremy Davies, Rebecca Mader, and Elizabeth Mitchell, who played Daniel Faraday, Charlotte Lewis, and Juliet Burke, respectively, left the show after the fifth season, but all three reprised their characters for the sixth. Former recurring cast members Nestor Carbonell, Jeff Fahey, and Zuleikha Robinson, who played the roles Richard Alpert, Frank Lapidus, and Ilana Verdansky, were promoted to the starring cast, and Emilie de Ravin returned as main character Claire Littleton after being absent for season 5.

Multiple former and recurring cast members made an appearance in the final episode. For the special occasion, Sam Anderson, François Chau, L. Scott Caldwell, Jeremy Davies, Fionnula Flanagan, Maggie Grace, Rebecca Mader, Elizabeth Mitchell, Dominic Monaghan, Ian Somerhalder, John Terry, Sonya Walger, and Cynthia Watros were added to the starring cast.
