Abrams "Lost" almost had a completely different cast
Synopsis
The survivors of a plane crash are forced to work together 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.
However, when Koreans marry, the wife never takes the husband’s surname
Sawyer’s character was originally supposed to be an older, dapper, suit-wearing urban con artist from Buffalo, NY. But when Josh Holloway forgot a line during an audition and later kicked a chair and swore loudly in frustration, the writers liked the edge it gave Sawyer’s character and decided to write Sawyer as a more Southern, darker drifter. Jin and Sun are married and share the surname Kwon, which becomes a major plot point in the final season.
The weird opening credits are by JJ
In fact, in Korea it’s not even allowed to marry with the same last name, except in rare circumstances.. [repeated line] Desmond Hume: See you in the next life bro.. Abrams on his laptop in black and white as a tribute to The Twilight Zone.
Edited into Lost: The Journey (2005)
It’s amazing how well the series has aged. Seeing it all again made some storylines make a lot more sense. I even think the ending makes a lot more sense now.
