Abrams’ "Lost" it almost had a completely different cast
Plot
The survivors of a plane crash are forced to work together to survive on a seemingly abandoned tropical island.. J.J. See which A-listers missed out on one of the most popular TV shows of all time.
However, when Koreans marry, the wife never takes her husband’s surname
Sawyer’s character was originally supposed to be an older, sleek, suit-wearing urban con artist from Buffalo, New York. However, when Josh Holloway forgot a line at his audition and subsequently kicked a chair in frustration and cursed loudly, the writers liked the edge he brought to Sawyer’s character and decided to write Sawyer as more of a southern, darker drifter instead this.. Jin and Sun are married and share the last name ‘Kwon’ which becomes an important plot point in the final season.
The weird opening credits were designed by JJ
In fact, in Korea you’re not even allowed to marry someone with the same last name, except in rare cases.. [repeat line] Desmond Hume: See you in another life bro.. Abrams on his laptop in black and white as an homage to The Twilight Zone..
Edited in Lost: The Journey (2005)
LOST transcended TV drama writing and encapsulated theroy theme when it burst onto the scene in 2004. That was 14 freaking years ago and the show still holds up. seriously.
Jack, Kate, Saver, Hugo, Locke, Said, and yes, even Benjamin Linus' lined with history have been crafted in little ways in any way since then
My then 16-year-old son said it was the best-written show of its time, and now that he’s 30 and a writer himself, he maintains that commitment to this day: all other shows follow in the shadows of LOST
