Abrams "Lost" it featured an almost entirely different cast
Line of Events
The survivors of a plane crash are forced to work together to survive on a seemingly deserted tropical island… J.J. See which A-listers missed one of the most popular TV shows of all time. Sawyer’s character was originally intended to be an older, sleek, suit-wearing urban con artist from Buffalo, New York.
But when Koreans marry, the wife never takes the husband’s surname
But when Josh Holloway forgot a line during an audition and later kicked a chair in frustration and cursed loudly, the writers liked the edge it gave Sawyer’s character and decided to write Sawyer as more of a Southern, darker drifter than he was. Jin and Sun are married and share the surname Kwon, which becomes a major plot point in the final season. In fact, Korea doesn’t even allow you to marry with the same last name, except in rare cases.. [repeat line] Desmond Hume: See you in the next life, brother.
Probably even the best
Abrams on his laptop in black and white as an homage to The Twilight Zone. Edited for Lost: The Journey (2005). I have watched a lot of TV in my life, maybe too much. But this is the best series I’ve seen in ages.
You just can’t predict what will happen
It seems like every week the show tells 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 adorable! This show is amazing and I hope they keep doing it because often fantastic shows in the US get canceled because the ratings start to drop a bit or the executives think the show is too weird.
