Abrams’ "Lost" has an almost entirely different cast
Tale
Survivors of a plane crash are forced to work together to survive on a seemingly deserted tropical island… J.J. See which A-list players were left out of 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 intended to be an older, smooth, suit-wearing urban crook from Buffalo, New York. But when Josh Holloway forgot a line in his audition, then kicked a chair in frustration and cursed loudly, the writers liked the edge he brought to Sawyer’s character and decided to write Sawyer as a darker, southern drifter instead. Jin and Sun get married and share the family name “Kwon,” which becomes a major plot point in the final season.
The strange opening credits were written by JJ
In fact, in Korea, it’s not even allowed to marry someone with the same last name, except in rare cases. [repeat line] Desmond Hume: See you in another life, brother. Abrams on his laptop in black and white, as a tribute to The Twilight Zone.
He edited it into the book Lost: The Journey (2005)
LOST surpassed TV drama writing and embedded the theme when it burst onto the scene in 2004. That was 14 awful years ago, and the show is still going strong. Seriously.
Jack, Kate, Saywer, Hugo, Locke, Sayid, and yes, even Benjamin Linus’ story was crafted in a way that hasn’t been done since
My then 16-year-old son said it was the best-written show of his time, and now that he’s 30 and a writer himself, he still maintains that commitment to this day: all other shows follow in LOST’s shadow.
