Season 1 » Episode #23 - Exodus (1)

Summary: The French woman -- Danielle Rousseau -- shocks the survivors by showing up to the camp with a dire warning about "the others" who are on the island, and the black smoke that precedes them. Meanwhile, Michael and Jin ready the raft for sailing. Danielle takes Jack, Locke, Kate, Hurley, and Arzt on a trek to the Black Rock. However, once they reach the "Dark Territory," Arzt (who had previously gone back to camp) comes running with the real Beast hot on his heels. Fortunately, Locke's calm demeanor seems to ease the "security system," as Danielle calls it, and it heads in the other direction. They eventually reach the Black Rock, which turns out to be a wooden ship. Black smoke is an ominous sign as the raft sets sail after an accidental delay. Jin and Sun make up, and Walt decides to give the dog Vincent to Shannon since there is no room on the boat. Black smoke continues to rise.

Episode Quotes

	Season 1 / Episode 23: - Exodus (1) Danielle Rousseau: You have only three choices: run, hide... or die.
	Season 1 / Episode 23: - Exodus (1) Walt Lloyd: [asks Shannon to take care of his dog] Vincent took care of me when my mom died, and nobody would talk to me. They'd pretend like nothing happened. So I'd talk to Vincent. He's a good listener. you could talk to him about Boone if you want. Shannon Rutherford: [tearing] Alright. But only until you get us rescued, okay?

MISTAKES/GOOFS

CREW: In the scene when Vincent jumps into the water to swim for the raft you can see on the right side of the screen the crew's vessel/equipment in the water.
CHAR: Leading a party in the woods, Danielle Rousseau announces that they have reached the "territoire fonce" (dark territory), pronouncing "fonce" with one syllable; in French it ought to be "foncé", two syllables. Furthermore, the word means 'dark' only in the sense of a deep shade of a color.
GEOG: When Walt and Michael are arguing in the hotel corridor, the "Exit" signs are the wrong colour for Australia (they should be white letters on a green background).
FAKE: When Sayid shows Michael the flare gun, the primer on the flare has already been struck, as evidenced by the depression in the middle. The flare in the gun is obviously a spent shell, probably used for safety purposes.
CREW: You can clearly see the camera team in the water when Vincent tries to reach the raft (on the right side of the screen). A few shots later you can see the camera again.

TRIVIA

During filming of the first season finale, each cast member was only given the script pages of scenes where they appeared.
This is the first episode since the pilot that didn't center on one individual character for the flashbacks. Instead in this one we get flashbacks from Michael, Walt, Kate, Sawyer, Jack, Sun, Jin, Shannon, Boone and Sayid, all showing what each one was doing before they got on the plane.
In the flashback to Jack#s first meeting with Anna-Lucia at the airport they tell each other their seat numbers: Jack's is 23 and Anna-Lucia's is 42. Both numbers are in the set used in the hatch and that Hurley used to win the lottery.
Only one third of The Black Rock was built. The rest was CGI.
