Abrams’ Lost has an almost completely different cast

Scenario

Survivors of a plane crash are forced to work together to survive on a seemingly deserted tropical island… J.J. See which actors missed out on one of the most popular TV shows of all time. Sawyer’s character was originally intended to be an older, dapper, suit-wearing city hustler from Buffalo, New York.

[repeat line] Desmond Hume: See you in another life, brother

However, when Josh Holloway forgot a line during his audition, then kicked a chair and loudly cursed in frustration, the writers liked the edge he brought to Sawyer’s character and decided to write Sawyer as a more Southern, dark drifter. Jin and Sun are married and share the family name “Kwon,” which becomes a major plot point in the final season. However, when Koreans get married, the wife never takes her husband’s last name. In fact, in Korea, it’s not even legal to marry someone with the same last name, except in rare cases.

Edited for Lost: The Journey (2005)

The strange opening credits are by J.J. Abrams on his laptop in black and white as a tribute to The Twilight Zone. I’ve watched a lot of TV in my life, maybe too much. But this is the best show I’ve ever seen.

Probably the best ever

You just can’t predict what’s going to happen. The show seems to tell you something new every week about the island and its inhabitants. I’m waiting in anticipation to see what’s going to happen and then before I know it the show is over and I have to wait to find out what happens next. Endlessly addictive!

I really hope the show continues to air in England because it’s a fantastic show and I want to make a DVD of the series so I can get all my friends interested

This show is amazing and I hope it continues to do well because fantastic American shows are often cancelled due to a slight drop in ratings or because the show management thinks it’s too weird.
