Trivia:

Season 1 has some similarities to William Golding's novel Lord of the Flies. The novel's basic premise is that a plane crashes on a remote island and the only survivors is a group of kids. The group leader's name is Jack, although he is a more of a negative character in the novel. The group eventually splits into two parts, one staying on the beach waiting for rescue, the other living in caves in order to survive. Just like the survivors in the early season, the boys in the novel try to maintain a constant fire on the beach to be rescued. Also, there is a character similar to Hurley called Piggy, who is overweight and whose real name is never revealed (Hurley's real name Hugo is mentioned for the first time later on) and there is the rumor about a monster on the island among the surviving children.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When Hurley is making his mad rush for his plane he clearly and visibly runs past a doorway with the word "Kamehameha" visible at the top. Most of the airport footage is apparently shot at the convention center in Oahu. Roberts Hawaii buses are also very noticeable within shots in the background.

Quotes:

John Locke: Don't tell me what I can't do!

Best New Drama of the Season

There is no denying that "Lost" is the best new drama of the season. It has already been nominated as Best Drama Series for the Golden Globes and it's headed for great things. Creator and Director JJ Abrams brings his amazing talents into this show to help make it the great success that it is. Along with "Desparate Housewives," "Lost" has helped ABC in its comeback for the 2004-2005 season. I have no idea what the previous review was talking about -- this series will not "tank" after a year. And it is like nothing that has been before. Sure there are similarities in plot but there is SO much more to talk about in "Lost." And I am confident in the great writers that they have on the series as well to create new, exciting, energetic, and interesting plot lines for each episode.
