Abrams' "Lost" almost had an entirely different cast
Story
The survivors of a plane crash are forced to work together in order 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 of Sawyer was originally meant to be an older, slick, suit-wearing city con artist from Buffalo, NY.
[repeated line] Desmond Hume: See you in another life, brother
However, when Josh Holloway forgot a line at his audition and subsequently kicked a chair in frustration and loudly swore, the writers liked the edge he brought to the Sawyer character and decided to write Sawyer as more of a Southern, darker drifter instead.. Jin and Sun are married and share the family name "Kwon", which becomes an important plot point in the final season. However, when Koreans marry, the wife never takes her husband's family name. In fact, it is not even permissible in Korea to marry someone with the same family name, except in rare circumstances..
Edited into Lost: The Journey (2005)
The strange opening credits were designed by J.J. Abrams on his laptop in black and white as an homage to The Twilight Zone.. Lost is absolutely, without a doubt, among the best tv series I've ever seen. What can possibly be said about this amazing show that hasn't already been said.
I'll never understand why people will rate a show low just because the ending wasn't great
If you read any best show's of all-time list I guarantee you that Lost will be on that list. The one thing I recommend though isn't don't be doing other things while watching this show, give it your undivided attention because there is so many twists, easter eggs and little details that you'll miss if you aren't paying attention. Now, the ending wasn't as good as people hoped for but that doesn't take away from the 6 seasons and 120 episodes that came before it. Lost was on 6 years and over 120 hours of tv that you enjoyed, a few bad moments at the end doesn't take away all that time you loved it.
I didn't even think the ending was that bad, it just could've been better
Obviously it would be better if the ending was as great as the show was but when a show is as good as Lost it's hard to satisfy all the fans. As a whole though, Lost is among the best television series ever and is a must watch.
