Trivia:

The case that flies out of the locker and hits Fredric Lehne on the head was made of rubber. Lane had tiny tubes hidden in his hairline which then released blood to run down his face.

Goofs:

Continuity: During the flashback scene where Charlie is in the bathroom, he opens a bag of heroin that was closed with a yellow rubber band. While he is taking pinches of the drug and rubbing it inside his mouth, the rubber band goes from being loosely over the first two fingers of his left hand, to being wrapped twice around his index finger, back to being loosely over the first two fingers again.

Quotes:

[first lines]
Charlie: [as Jack fiddles with the transceiver] Anything?
Jack: You keep asking if there's anything.
Charlie: Pardon me for appearing desperate, but before the pilot was *ripped* from the cockpit, he did say that no one's going to find us unless we get that transceiver working. So... is there anything?
Jack: No.
Charlie: Okay.

Nothing gained

The second half of the pilot reveals that the transceiver is damaged. Once it is repaired, several survivors decide to get it to higher ground. The rest of this episode plays out somewhat like the first episode. The group tromps through the woods and not surprisingly runs afoul of an island monster. When they are finally able to use the transceiver, they are in for a very large shock. As the episode ends, we know a bit more about some of the characters and realize not everyone is who he or she appears to be. The episode holds onto its edge, although it is pretty clear the show is headed into Twilight Zone territory in future. Wait until you see what the monster turns out to be, for instance.
