Trivia

The world premiere of season two took place at Waikiki beach on the island of Oahu one week before ABC aired the episode. The first episode was projected on a screen 30 feet tall and the cast walked a red carpet to greet fans before the episode played. The producers requested that the viewers not disclose the events of the episode before it aired.

Goofs

In "Man of Science, Man of Faith" when Locke warns Jack not to touch the computer he says "I wouldn't do that". In the next episode, "Adrift", when Kate watches the scene, he says "I wouldn't do that, Jack."

Captured In the Shelter

Jack recalls the accident of Sarah, a meeting with a guy called Desmond (Henry Ian Cusick) and how successful the surgery was. Kate shows the word "Quarentine" in the hatch door. While looking for Vincent, Shannon has a vision of Walt. Jack returns to the caves and gives hope to the other survivors. Kate descends in the shelter and vanishes, and Locke tries to find her and is captured. Jack comes back to the shelter trying to find Kate and Locke.

In this first episode of the Second Season, I expected that the mystery about the shelter was disclosed, but it was not. I am still guessing what that mysterious place might be. The story is full of suspense and excellent as usual. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): Not Available

Note 1: I saw the First Season of Lost on DVD, and I have just seen the six first episodes of Season Two in a Marathon of Lost in a cable television channel (AXN). However, it is a shame: lots of advertisement and the titles of the episodes are not informed.

Note 2: On 24 March 2013, I saw this episode again.
