Abrams’ “Lost” had almost a completely different cast

Narrative

The survivors of a plane crash are forced to work together to survive on a seemingly deserted tropical island… J. See which celebrities missed out on one of the most popular TV shows of all time.

However, when the Koreans get married, the wife never uses her husband’s last name

The character of Sawyer was originally supposed to be an older, stylish, suited-up urbanite from Buffalo, New York. However, when Josh Holloway forgot a line during an audition and then kicked a chair in frustration and swore loudly, the writers liked Sawyer’s character and decided to write Sawyer as more of a dark, Southern drifter. Jin and Sun are married and have the last name “Kwon,” which becomes a major plot point in the final season.

The eerie opening credits were drawn by JJ

In fact, in Korea, you’re not even allowed to marry someone with the same last name, except in rare cases. [repeated line] Desmond Hume: See you in another life, brother. Abrams on his laptop in black and white as a homage to The Twilight Zone.

Edited into Lost (2005)

LOST went beyond TV drama writing and epitomized motive theory when it hit the scene in 2004. That was 14 wonderful years ago, and the show is still going strong. Seriously.

Jack, Kate, Saywer, Hugo, Locke, Sayid, and yes, even Benjamin Linus

The story presented was fleshed out in a way that few have done since. My son, then 16, said it was the best-written show of its time, and now that he’s 30 and a writer, that statement holds true to this day: Every other show follows in LOST’s shadow.
