About This DVD
Along with Desperate Housewives, Lost was one of the two breakout shows in
the fall of 2004. Mixing suspense and action with a sci-fi twist, it began
with a thrilling pilot episode in which a jetliner traveling from Australia to
Los Angeles crashes, leaving 48 survivors on an unidentified island with no sign
of civilization or hope of imminent rescue. That may sound like Gilligan's
Island meets Survivor, but Lost kept viewers tuning in every Wednesday
night--and spending the rest of the week speculating on Web sites--with some
irresistible hooks (not to mention the beautiful women). First, there's a huge
ensemble cast of no fewer than 14 regular characters, and each episode fills in
some of the back story on one of them. There's a doctor; an Iraqi soldier; a
has-been rock star; a fugitive from justice; a self-absorbed young woman and her
brother; a lottery winner; a father and son; a Korean couple; a pregnant woman;
and others. Second, there's a host of unanswered questions: What is the
mysterious beast that lurks in the jungle? Why do polar bears and wild boars
live there? Why has a woman been transmitting an SOS message in French from
somewhere on the island for the last 16 years? Why do impossible wishes seem to
come true? Are they really on a physical island, or somewhere else? What is the
significance of the recurring set of numbers? And will Kate ever give up her
bad-boy fixation and hook up with Jack?
Lost did have some hiccups during the first season. Some plot threads were left
dangling for weeks, and the "oh, it didn't really happen" card was played too
often. But the strong writing and topnotch cast kept the show a cut above most
network TV. The best-known actor at the time of the show's debut was Dominic
Monaghan, fresh off his stint as Merry the Hobbit in Peter Jackson's Lord of the
Rings films. The rest of the cast is either unknowns or "where I have I seen
that face before" supporting players, including Matthew Fox and Evangeline
Lilly, who are the closest thing to leads. Other standouts include Naveen
Andrews, Terry O'Quinn (who's made a nice career out of conspiracy-themed TV
shows), Josh Holloway, Jorge Garcia, Yunjin Kim, Maggie Grace, and Emilie de
Ravin, but there's really not a weak link in the cast. Co-created by J.J. Abrams
(Alias), Lost left enough unanswered questions after its first season to keep
viewers riveted for a second season. --David Horiuchi
