Tale
Survivors of a plane crash are forced to work together to survive on an apparently deserted tropical island. J.J. Check out which A-list stars missed out on one of the most popular TV shows of all time. Sawyer’s character was originally meant to be a brave, suit-wearing, older city hustler from Buffalo, New York. However, when Josh Holloway forgot a line in his audition and subsequently kicked a chair in frustration and swore loudly, the writers liked the spin it gave to Sawyer’s character and decided to write Sawyer as a darker southern drifter.

However, when Koreans get married, the wife never takes her husband’s last name. In fact, in Korea it’s not even allowed to marry someone who has the same last name, except in rare circumstances. [repeated line] Desmond Hume: See you in another life, bro. The weird opening credits were designed by J.J. Abrams on his black and white laptop as an homage to The Twilight Zone. Unless you’re living under a rock, you’ve probably heard of the hit show LOST.
Well, let’s put it this way
You’ve seen the trailers, read the 5 star reviews, and listened to the conversations about it at the water cooler. If you haven’t started watching it yet, you might be wondering if you should start watching it. If you like shows with action, you’ll like LOST. If you like shows with complex characters and interactions, you’ll like LOST. If you like shows with drama, mystery, and suspense, you’ll like LOST. If you like shows with humor, you’ll like LOST.
At first, there’s confusion
If you like shows where you can watch an episode twice and see it in a completely different way, you’ll like LOST. If you like shows where each and every scene has a meaning… Get the idea? Simply put, if you’ve ever liked a TV show, you’ll be hooked. LOST is a show about a plane crash on a mysterious island. 48 people survive, but the show focuses on 14, all with secrets. But as the show progresses, friendships develop and we realize there’s much more to the island than meets the eye… The characters are fantastic… don’t pay attention to those who say the cast is so diverse it’s cliché, they’re probably the same people who would have criticized it if it was all white.
Bottom line, watch it
You’ll be hooked, unless you’re one of those nitpicky people who gets a hernia if every detail in the first episode isn’t exactly right. Otherwise, I have to ask you the question… Why aren’t you watching it? 10/10
