A passenger jet breaks apart in mid-air, crash-landing on a tropical island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. Left without the creature comforts and basic necessities of civilization, the 48 survivors are forced to rely upon one another to stay alive -- and given the personality quirks of these survivors, this won't be easy during the first season of the ABC hit series Lost. Generally with the help of flashbacks, viewers learn a number of deep dark secrets about the castaways on a need-to-know basis, especially the demons plaguing Dr. Jack Shephard (Matthew Fox) and one-hit-wonder rock star Charlie Pace (Dominic Monaghan). Every so often, a crisis arises for the principal purpose of revealing a hitherto unknown and unsuspected aspect of one of the characters. Inevitably, hostilities both minor and serious arise from the basic fundamental differences among the survivors: Korean couple Jin and Sun Kwon (Daniel Dae Kim, Yunjin Kim) are unable to uphold their family traditions under the circumstances, while their inability to speak English creates an additional barrier between themselves and the others; and the MacGyver-like resourcefulness of former Iraqi Republican Guard Sayid (Naveen Andrews) is not enough to overcome the racism of some of his fellow passengers. Then there is the unfriendly aura of the island itself, with its inscrutable topography, and the bizarre menagerie of wild animals, ranging from a polar bear to a (possible) dinosaur! Also, the discovery in one episode of two long-dead bodies certainly does nothing to uplift the rescue hopes of the hapless survivors. And finally, there seems to be someone else on the island...someone not on the passenger list...someone who kidnaps two of the castaways and threatens to kill off the rest one by one. The one overriding question near the end of season one is: who among the "major" characters will not make it to season two? Hal Erickson, Rovi

This box set includes two flashbacks that were not aired on TV. One is Sayid buying a tie in the airport. The other is Claire talking to the pilot before the flight. He tells her that his mother dated a man named Bernard.
The "Making of the Pilot" section is really interesting. I love behind-the-scenes type of stuff. They talk about how they were short on time, so they bought a real plane and cut it into sections.
My favorite part was the audio commentary. Some of the episodes have the option of audio commentary, where you can listen to what some of the writers and producers say about the show. They are so excited about how the show turned out and they really love the actors and think they did a good job. It's really interesting to get their perspectives.
I also enjoyed seeing the stars' audition tapes. Some of them really look different and most of them are performing scenes that I know well.
