* EstablishingSeriesMoment: For the first twenty minutes, the series looks like it's going to be a dramatic take on ''Series/GilligansIsland'', with a focus on survival on a deserted island while trying to get rescued. Then the survivors hear a loud, mechanical-like roar from the jungle which proceeds to uproot trees, making them and the audience aware that this is ''not'' any ordinary island.

* DeadStarWalking: Character actor and JJ Abrams regular Creator/GregGrunberg appears as the pilot and is set up as though he's going to be a major character, just before he is killed by the Monster. This is a holdover from the original plan for the series, in which Jack was to be played by a major actor, like Creator/MichaelKeaton, and get killed off halfway through the pilot to let the audience know that no one was safe on this show.
