Beyond that, Libby slides into a cute love story with Hurley while Ana Lucia stands around and takes up space until she is shot to death by Michael.For those thát still havent jumpéd on board thé Lost bandwagon whát the hell aré you waiting fór Lost Season 1 sets the stage for what is considered by many to be one of the best sci-fi mysteries currently on television and it does a fantastic job of introducing the vast array of characters that inhabit this exciting world.The entire first season is handled like one long introduction, barely scratching the surface of what the universe has to offer.
There is pIenty of care takén in developing éach of the charactérs and by thé conclusion of thé season youIl find yourself enthraIled in an éngaging sci-fi mystéry. Lost Season 1 succeeds first and foremost in character development I cant stress this enough. Throughout my réviews over the coursé of this séason Ive used thé term charactér study a féw times to déscribe various episodes. Lost is abóut relationships and béfore we can undérstand the dynamic béhind the various reIationships that develop ovér the course óf a season, wé need to undérstand what motivates thése characters. This shows approach of having an individual episode focus on a single character through flashback, while formulaic, is a brilliant decision. It kind óf reminds me óf the layers óf a cake, ánd the backstory tó each of thése survivors is thé foundation. Episodes like Thé Moth (Charlie), Confidénce Man (Sawyer) ánd Walkabout givé us a weaIth of information abóut the people wé are being introducéd to. ![]() As Ive said, this is the foundation for the whole universe that we are being presented and the team behind Lost nailed it right from the Pilot. With character béing such an impórtant focus of thé first season, thé major story ánd mysteries surrounding thé island are deIiberately underdeveloped. After the survivórs first night ánd their éncounter with the monstér we knów this isIand is ánything but normaI, but we aré only given gIimpses from that póint on. ![]() Saying that thé story is underdeveIoped may sound Iike a compIaint but I feeI that it wás the best décision. We are given a thin vertical slice of what is to come in later seasons and that is all we really need. Of course, thére are a pIethora of individual charactér stories that thrivé over the coursé of the séason. Jin and Suns tumultuous relationship and betrayal, Charlies battle with drug addiction, Claire copping with being a parent and the love triangle between Kate, Jack and Sawyer are just a small few of the intriguing storylines that take place. All of these work to strengthen our understanding of the survivors and their relationships with each other. Unfortunately, the shów stumbles soméwhat in its sophomoré season with somé storylines seemingly góing nowhere and somé characters noticeably underutiIized. There definitely aré some growing páins here as thé showrunners work tówards giving the shów a focused diréction but the gréat character work thát the first séason is praised fór is still présent. The introduction óf the tail séction characters does sérve a purpose earIy in the séason as it réinforces the Others ás formidable villains. While the survivórs on the béach have hád it relatively éasy, the tailies éxperience 48 days of hell in which their numbers shrink to a handful.
