S1: Pilot: Part 2

If Part 1 of the pilot is the cake, Part 2 is the icing.

What's the first thing you do when you find yourself stranded on a desert island?  Figure out how to get off, at least, that's what a group of Losties decides to do.  With transmitter in hand recovered from the front of the plane, the group attempts to get a signal after a long hike.  We get a little nugget of information that there is a transmission already broadcasting and it has been for 16 years.  And of all things, the group comes upon a polar bear.  Questions keep piling up and watching it now, a second time, takes away some of the frustration, especially when some of these questions don't get answered until seasons later.  Charlie puts it best at the end of the episode saying, "Guys, where are we?"  Where are they?  They are on an island and they might as well be on an iceberg because we've only just hit the tip.
