Lost (TV series), a television series about the survivors of a plane crash on a mysterious tropical island I have never watched it - what's it abt?
The series began development in January 2004, when head of ABC at the time, Lloyd Braun, ordered an initial script based on his concept of a cross between the movie Cast Away and the popular reality show Survivor. yep that's what I tht, turns me off. think I tht it was a reality show, for a while. Unhappy with the result and a subsequent re-write, Braun contacted J.J. Abrams, creator of the TV series Alias, to write a new pilot script. Although initially hesitant, Abrams warmed to it, and eventually collaborated with Damon Lindelof to create the series' style and characters...
A plane crash strands the surviving passengers of Oceanic Flight 815 on a seemingly deserted tropical island, forcing the group of strangers to work together to stay alive. However, their survival is threatened by mysterious entities including polar bears, an unseen creature that roams the jungle, and the island's malevolent inhabitants known as the "Others."
The survivors discover that one of the members in their group is not what he seems. They encounter a Frenchwoman who was shipwrecked on the island over sixteen years earlier and find a mysterious metal hatch buried in the ground. An attempt is made to leave the island with a raft.
The audience will meet more survivors of the plane crash as new characters in the third season..
?? the island is big enough that the survivors haven't all met each other yet? or what, there have been other people in the background that audience did not meet as chars?
