Abrams’ “Lost” almost had a totally different cast
Synopsis
Survivors of a plane crash are forced to work together to survive on a seemingly deserted tropical island. J.J. Check out which A-list stars missed out on one of the most popular TV shows of all time.
However, when Koreans get married, the wife never takes her husband’s last name
Sawyer’s character was originally meant to be a dapper, suit-wearing, older city hustler from Buffalo, New York. However, when Josh Holloway forgot a line in his audition and subsequently kicked a chair in frustration and swore loudly, the writers liked the spin it gave to Sawyer’s character and decided to write Sawyer as a darker southern drifter. Jin and Sun are married and share the last name “Kwon,” which becomes a major plot point in the final season.
The weird opening credits were designed by JJ
In fact, in Korea it’s not even allowed to marry someone who has the same last name, except in rare circumstances. [repeated line] Desmond Hume: See you in another life, bro. Abrams on his black-and-white laptop as an homage to The Twilight Zone.
Edited into Lost: The Journey (2005)
LOST transcended TV drama writing and encapsulated thematic theory when it burst onto the scene in 2004. That was 14 freaking years ago, and the show still holds up. Seriously.
Jack, Kate, Saywer, Hugo, Locke, Sayid, and yes, even Benjamin Linus’s plot were all crafted in a way that few, if any, have since
My 16-year-old son said it was the best-written show of its time, and now that he’s 30 and a writer, he maintains that commitment to this day — every other show follows in LOST’s shadow.
