Abrams’ “Lost” almost had a very different cast
Story
The survivors of a plane crash are forced to work together to survive on a seemingly deserted tropical island. J.J. See which celebs missed one of the most popular TV shows of all time. However, when Josh Holloway forgot a line during his audition and subsequently kicked a chair in frustration and cursed loudly, the writers liked the edge he brought to the character Sawyer and decided to write Sawyer as more of a Southern, gritty drifter instead. Jin and Sun are married and share the surname “Kwon,” which becomes a major plot point in the final season. However, when Koreans marry, the wife never takes her husband’s surname.

In fact, in Korea, it’s not even legal to marry someone with the same surname, except in rare cases. [repeated line] Desmond Hume: See you in another life, bro. The weird opening credits were designed by J.J. Abrams on his laptop in black and white as an homage to The Twilight Zone. Unless you’re living under a rock, you’ve probably heard of the hit show LOST. You’ve seen the previews, read the 5-star reviews, and heard the conversations about it at the water cooler.
Get the idea?
If you haven’t started watching yet, you might be wondering if you should start watching. Well, let’s put it this way. If you like action shows, you’ll like LOST, you’ll like LOST. If you like shows with humor, you’ll like LOST. If you like shows where you can watch an episode twice and then see it in a completely different perspective, you’ll definitely like LOST. If you like shows where every single scene has meaning…
In short, watch
Simple: If you’ve ever liked a TV show, you’ll love it. LOST is about a plane crash on a mysterious island. 48 people survive, but the show revolves around 14, all with secrets. At first there is confusion. But as the series progresses, friendships develop and we learn there is more to the island than meets the eye… The characters are fantastic – pay no attention to those who say the cast being so diverse is a cliche, these are probably the same people who would have criticised it if it was all white.
Why aren’t you watching?
You will be delighted, unless you are one of those fussy people who has a hernia if every single detail isn’t spot on in the very first episode. Otherwise, I have to ask the question… 10/1
