Abrams’ "Lost" was an entirely different cast
Survivors of a plane crash are forced to work together to survive on a deserted tropical island. J.J. See which A-listers missed out on one of the most popular TV shows of all time. Sawyer’s character was originally intended to be an older, slick, dress-wearing city street artist from Buffalo, NY.
[repeated line] Desmond Hume: See you in another life, brother
However, when Josh Holloway forgot a line in his audition and then kicked a chair in frustration and swore loudly, the writers liked the edge he brought to the Sawyer character, and decided to write Sawyer as a more Southern, dark drifter instead. Jin and Sun are married and "Kwon" becomes a major plot point in the final season. However, when Koreans get married, the wife never takes her husband’s family name. Just in Korea, it’s not allowed to marry someone of the same lineage except in very rare cases.
Maybe even the best
The strange opening credits were created by J.J. Abrams on his laptop in homage to The Twilight Zone in black and white. Lost: The Journey (2005) was edited as I’ve watched a lot of TV in my life, maybe too much. However, this is the best TV series I’ve seen in ages.
You can’t predict what’s going to happen
Every 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 see what happens, and then before I know it the show is over and I have to wait to see what happens next. Totally gripping! This show is amazing and I hope they keep it going because often wonderful US shows get canceled because the ratings start to drop a bit or because the executives think the shows are too weird.
