Abrams’ “Staying Alive” It almost seems like a completely different cast
Narrative
Survivors of a plane crash are forced to work together to survive on a seemingly deserted tropical island in J. J. See what the big stars missed on one of the most popular TV shows of all time. Sawyer’s character was originally supposed to be an elderly, slick, suit-wearing urban con artist from Buffalo, New York.
[repeating line] Desmond Hume: See you in the next life, bro
But when Josh Holloway forgot a line during his audition and then kicked a chair in frustration and cursed loudly, the writers liked the edge he brought to Sawyer’s character and decided to write Sawyer as more of a Southern, darker slacker. Jin and Sun are married and share the last 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 Korea, it’s not even allowed to marry someone with the same last name, except in rare cases…
The strange opening credits were designed by J
J. Abrams on his laptop in black and white as a tribute to the Twilight Zone Edited in Staying Alive: The Journey (2005). I’ve watched a lot of TV in my life, maybe too much. But this is the best show I’ve seen in years.
Maybe even the best ever
You just can’t predict what’s going to happen. It seems like every week the show tells you something new about the island and its people. I’m on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happens next, and then before I know it, the show is over and I have to wait to find out what happens next. Totally exciting!
This show is amazing and I hope they keep it going because fantasy shows in the US often get cancelled because the ratings start to drop a bit or the executives think it’s too weird
I really hope the series continues so we can see it here in England because it’s a fantastic show and I would love to have a DVD of this series so I can show it to all my friends.
