Abrams’ "Lost" almost had an entirely different cast
Narrative
The survivors of a plane crash are forced to work together in order to survive on a seemingly deserted tropical island.. J.J. See which A-listers missed out on one of the most popular TV shows of all time.. The character of Sawyer was originally meant to be an older, slick, suit-wearing city con artist from Buffalo, NY.
[repeated line] Desmond Hume: See you in another life, brother
However, when Josh Holloway forgot a line at his audition and subsequently kicked a chair in frustration and loudly swore, the writers liked the edge he brought to the Sawyer character and decided to write Sawyer as more of a Southern, darker drifter instead.. Jin and Sun are married and share the family name “Kwon”, which becomes an important plot point in the final season. However, when Koreans marry, the wife never takes her husband’s family name. In fact, it is not even permissible in Korea to marry someone with the same family name, except in rare circumstances..
Edited into Lost: The Journey (2005)
The strange opening credits were designed by J.J. Abrams on his laptop in black and white as an homage to The Twilight Zone.. I’ve watched lots of TV in my lifetime, perhaps too much. However this is the best TV series I’ve seen in ages.
Probably even the best ever
You just can’t predict what is going to happen. Each week the show seems to tell you 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 program is finished and I have to wait to find out what happens next. Utterly gripping!
This show is amazing and I hope they continue to make it because often fantastic US shows get canceled because the ratings start to dip slightly or the executives think the shows are too weird
I really hope the series continues so that we get it over here in England because it is a fantastic show and I would like to have DVD’s of this series so I can get all my friends hooked too.
