Harold Perrineau played Michael, the episode's central character
"Meet Kevin Johnson" is the eighth episode of the fourth seasonofLost and first aired March 20, 2008, on ABC in the United States. It was written by Elizabeth Sarnoff and Brian K. Vaughan, and directed by Stephen Williams. Most of the narrative is a flashback centring on Michael (played by Harold Perrineau) in the month preceding the show's present day. The writers completed the episode on the first day of the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike. ABC pledged to air the episode regardless of the strike's resolution even though the writers felt that its cliffhanger was unsuitable as a potential season finale. 13 million Americans watched "Meet Kevin Johnson". Its climax was criticized for its placement in the story and its focus on secondary characters. Critics responded well to Michael's emotional journey but complained that his physical journey conflicted with Lost's timeline. The episode was given the fourth season's only Primetime Emmy Award, awarded for its sound mixing. (Full article...)
