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 A-listers missed out on one of the most popular TV shows of all time. The character Sawyer was originally supposed to be an older, slick, suit-wearing city con from Buffalo, NY.
[Repeat line] Desmond Hume: See you in another life, brother
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 grittier Southern 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, marrying someone with the same surname is not even permissible in Korea, except in rare cases.
Cut out in Lost: The Journey (2005)
The weird opening credits were done by J.J. Abrams on his laptop in black and white as an homage to The Twilight Zone. Lost is absolutely and without a doubt one of the best television shows I’ve ever seen. What can be said about this great show that hasn’t already been said?
I’ll never understand why people give a show a bad review just because the ending wasn’t that great
If you read through a list of the best shows of all time, I guarantee you that Lost is on it. However, I recommend doing other things while watching this show and giving it your undivided attention because there are so many twists, Easter eggs and little details that you’ll miss if you’re not careful. Now, the ending wasn’t as good as people were hoping, but that doesn’t take away from the 6 seasons and 120 episodes that came before it. Lost ran for 6 years and enjoyed over 120 hours of television, a few bad moments at the end don’t take away all the time you spent enjoying the show.
I didn’t even think the ending was that bad, it just could have been better
Of course it would be better if the ending was as great as the show, but when a show is as good as Lost it’s hard to please all the fans. Overall though, Lost is one of the best TV shows of all time and is an absolute must watch.
