Storyline

Danielle Rousseau arrives in the camp of survivors at the beach and advises that "The Others" are coming. There is black smoke in the sky, and they have three choices: run, hide, or die. Jack recalls his meeting with Ana-Lucia Cortez in the airport. Meanwhile, the group is about to launch the raft. Sawyer tells Jack the conversation he had with his father in a bar in Australia. Jack, Kate, Locke, Hurley and Leslie Arzt go on an expedition to bring explosives from the Black Rock to blow the hatch. There they can shelter the survivors against "The Others". Meanwhile, Jin and Sun make peace and there are farewells to Michael, Walt, Sawyer and Jin as they finally set sail on their makeshift raft to find help and safety.

Trivia

The husband of the rude woman in Sun and Jin's flashback scene says that Korea's divorce rate is 20 times lower than that of the US. He's close to accurate. With only slight variation since 2004 when this episode aired, South Korea's divorce rate has been 2% while the US suffers from a 50% divorce rate.

Goofs

When Jack, Locke, Kate, Arzt and Rousseau leave the beach to go to the Black Rock, the shot where they are walking along the rocks at approx 25 minutes in has been flipped, as Matthew Fox's tattoos on his left shoulder are now on his right shoulder and his left shoulder is clear.

Quotes

Hurley: Let me ask you something Arnzt.
Mr. Artz: Artz.
Hurley: Arnzt.
Mr. Artz: No, not Arnzt. Arzt. A-R-Z-T. Arzt.
Hurley: Sorry man, name's hard to pronounce.
Mr. Artz: Oh yeah, well I know a bunch of ninth graders who pronounce it just fine.
Hurley: How about I just call you by your first name?
Mr. Artz: How about you don't.
Hurley: Why not? I remember it from the plane's manifest. I think Leslie's a bitchin' name.
Mr. Artz: "Arnzt" is fine.

User Reviews

The Others are coming

This episode pulls every emotion from you: suspense, anxiety, hope, joy, sadness, and grief. It really pulls at the heartstrings. Kate and Sawyer both miss saying goodbye to each other, Vincent is "loaned" to Shannon, and Sun and Jin finally make up. This is why I love Lost - yes the mystery, suspense, and questions keep you tuning in, but at the heart of the story it's all about the characters. The arcs are fluid and executed perfectly.

The Exodus Part I is a 10/10
