JJ Abrams’ “Lost” almost had a completely different cast
Tale
Survivors of a plane crash are forced to work together to survive on a seemingly deserted tropical island.. See which A-listers missed out on one of the most popular TV shows of all time. Sawyer’s character was originally supposed to be an older, smooth, suit-wearing city hustler from Buffalo, New York. However, when Josh Holloway forgot a line during an audition and then kicked a chair in frustration and cursed loudly, the writers liked the edge of Sawyer’s character and decided to write Sawyer as more of a southern, darker drifter than this.
The strange opening credits were designed by JJ
Jin and Sun are married and share the last name “Kwon,” which becomes a major plot point in the final season. However, when Koreans get married, the wife never takes her husband’s last name. In fact, in Korea, you can’t even marry someone with the same last name, except in rare cases.. [repeat line] Desmond Hume: See you in the next life, brother..
Maybe the best
Abrams on his laptop in black and white as an homage to The Twilight Zone. Edited for Lost: The Journey (2005). I’ve watched a lot of TV in my life, maybe too much. But this is the best TV show I’ve seen in years.
You just can’t predict what’s going to happen
It seems like every week the show tells us something new about the island and its inhabitants. I’m on the edge of my seat waiting to find out what’s going to happen, then before I know it, the show is over and I have to wait to find out what happens next. Absolutely thrilling! This show is amazing and I hope they keep doing it because often fantastic shows in the US get cancelled because the ratings start to dip a bit or the executives think the show is too weird.
