When 'Lost' was in its prime, it was must-watch television. Remember first watching it, found it remarkably easy to get into, was hooked from the start and was on Season 3 by the end of one week. The general consensus is that the final season is a disappointment and cannot disagree.
There is the agreement that as far as pilot episodes go, that for 'Lost' is among the best of them. It couldn't be a more perfect beginning to a wonderful show and six seasons on it's still among the best episodes. The second part of the pilot is richer in characterisation and the character development than the first part, Charlie and Kate here are especially interesting (very nice twist on Kate), and establishes the featured characters very well, making them easy to root for and feeling every inch of their emotions rather than getting frustrated at them.
"Pilot Part 2" is excellently photographed, made with a lot of atmosphere and slickness and with no cheapness at all, while the setting is both beautiful and mysterious.
Even for so early on, the writing is smart and taut as well as provoking a lot of thought. The story is absorbing, with a lot of emotion, mystery and suspense, not with the same edge-of-your-seat tension of the first part but it has a tension in its own way. The ending will give chills up the spine and make one anxious to continue.
Acting throughout and across the board is very good indeed, Dominic Monaghan, Josh Holloway and Evangeline Lilly has the meatiest material and in particular stand out as a result.
In short, like what was said for the first part pilot episodes don't get much better than this. 10/10 Bethany Cox
