Reception

The pilot episode garnered 18.6 million viewers, easily winning its 9 pm Eastern / 8 pm Central timeslot, and giving ABC its strongest ratings since 2000 when Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? initially aired—beaten only the following month by the premiere of Desperate Housewives.[10] Based on its strong opening, Reuters dubbed it a "hit drama" noting that "the show appeared to have benefited from an all-out marketing blitz that included radio spots, special screenings and ABC's first billboard advertising campaign in five years."[11] After four episodes aired, ABC announced Lost had been picked up for a full season order. Lost's first season averaged about 18.38 million American viewers.[12]

The first season was nominated for twelve Primetime Emmy Awards. They won six: "Outstanding Casting for a Drama Series", "Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series", "Outstanding Drama Series" (J. J. Abrams), "Outstanding Music Composition for a Series (Dramatic Underscore)" (Michael Giacchino), "Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Drama Series" and "Outstanding Special Visual Effects for a Series". Terry O'Quinn and Naveen Andrews received nominations in the "Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series" category.[13]

Jack, Kate and Charlie set out into the jungle to find the cockpit of the airplane so they can send out a distress signal using the plane's transceiver. They also find the co-pilot, who survived the crash, and informs them that the plane had been steered more than a thousand miles off course before it crashed, and thus any rescuers would be looking in the wrong place.

Flashbacks show that Jin had to take a job working for Sun's father for her hand in marriage. One night, after they are married, Jin returns home covered in someone else's blood.

Jin goes back to the beach and helps Michael rebuild the raft, on which he has gained a spot. Walt confesses to Locke that he burned the raft because he likes the island.

A column of black smoke is soon seen in the distance. Jack, Locke and Sayid tell Rousseau about the hatch, and their need to open it, perhaps with dynamite. Rousseau offers to take them to the Black Rock to get some dynamite. Jack, Locke, Kate, Hurley, Arzt and Rousseau arrive at the Black Rock, a large slave ship stranded inland.

When Sayid and Charlie arrive on the beach with the black smoke, there are no other people, just a pyre and Rousseau and Aaron. She returns Aaron and tells them that she overheard the Others saying that they were going after "the boy". On the raft, the crew encounters a boat. The boat's crew turns out unfriendly and demands that they hand over Walt. Sawyer is shot - but is not killed - and Walt is taken. An explosive is thrown onto the raft, destroying it. Meanwhile, Jack, Kate, Locke, and Hurley blow open the hatch, revealing a very deep dark hole with a broken ladder. The survivors' time in the airport and boarding the plane continues to be shown through flashbacks.
