Abrams’ “Lost” almost had a completely different cast
Synopsis

[repeated line] Desmond Hume: See you in another life, brother
However, when Josh Holloway forgot a line in his audition and subsequently kicked a chair in frustration and swore loudly, the writers liked the edge he brought to the character Sawyer and decided to write Sawyer as a more Southern, dark drifter. and Sun are married and share the last name “Kwon,” which becomes a major plot point in the final season. However, when the Koreans get married, the wife never takes her husband’s last name. In fact, it is not allowed in Korea to marry someone with the same last name, except in rare circumstances.

The weird opening credits were drawn by J.J. Abrams on his laptop in black and white as a homage to The Twilight Zone. I’ve watched a lot of TV in my life, maybe too much. However, this is the best TV series I’ve seen in years.
Probably the best of all time, even
You just can’t predict what’s going to happen. Every week the show seems to tell something new about the Island and its inhabitants. I’m on the edge of my seat waiting to find out 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. Totally thrilling!
I really hope the series continues so we can get it here in England because it’s a fantastic show and I wish I had DVDs of this series so I can catch up on all my friends too
This show is amazing and I hope they keep making it, because so many times great shows in the US get canceled because the ratings start to drop a little or the executives think the shows are too weird.
