Abrams’ “Lost” almost had a completely different cast
The survivors of a plane crash must work together to survive on a seemingly deserted tropical island… J.J. See which celebs missed one of the most popular TV shows of all time. Sawyer’s character was originally supposed to be an older, neatly dressed urban con man from Buffalo, NY. But when Josh Holloway forgot a line during an audition and later kicked a chair in frustration and cursed loudly, the writers liked the edge it gave Sawyer’s character and decided to write Sawyer as a more southern, gritty drifter. Jin and Sun are married and share the same surname, Kwon, which becomes a major plot point in the final season. However, when Koreans marry, the woman never takes the man’s surname.
Along comes Lost
In fact, marrying with the same surname isn’t even allowed in Korea, except in rare cases. [repeated line] Desmond Hume: See you in the next life, brother. Abrams carried a laptop in black and white in homage to The Twilight Zone. Edited for Lost: The Journey (2005). So many quality series have ended or been canceled recently (Friends, Frasier, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel) and many others have declined in quality (The West Wing, Smallville). and tasteless “reality” As a programmer, I had all but written off television as an entertainment medium. I seriously considered giving up my TV and cable subscriptions in favor of a computer monitor and broadband access.
Now I’m hooked
I missed the first few episodes but was able to catch up thanks to BitTorrent. There are a few things to like about this show, but here’s a short list: 1) Amazing, intelligent, layered writing. There are a lot of mysteries here and every answer you get raises more questions. 2) Rich, complex characters. Just when you think you’ve let a character down, you learn something new about them that’s often surprising or even shocking. I love watching different relationships form and develop. 3) Strong performances.

It’s a great cast, mostly veteran actors with a few newcomers thrown in, and they’re all star-makers. Even some episodes featured recognizable, talented actors (e.g. 4) Mysterious and intriguing setting. Of the four basic elements of a story you learn about in school: plot, character, theme, and setting, the latter is often the poor, neglected cousin. Not here. The island is dangerous, beautiful, spooky, and undeniably fascinating. It’s like a character in itself.
This isn’t just a deserted island soap opera
Part of the fun of this show is discovering the island’s secrets. 5) Thematic depth. There are plenty of metaphors and themes here, such as moral challenges; about the nature of communities and civilization; about our relationship with nature/the environment; and spirituality, even mysticism. I’m grateful to see that this show is a hit. Too many times recently I’ve committed to a quality show early (Wonderfalls being the most recent and very unfortunate example) only to have it cancelled prematurely by a nervous broadcaster. I hope that Lost will be a long and successful one – if the creators, cast and crew maintain the level of quality they’ve shown so far, I’m sure it will.
