Season 4 of 'Lost' starts tomorrow in the US and in the UK on Sunday. Can't wait to get back into it. Thought I'd do a little Lost trivia in the run up to the start of the season.
- Parts of the plane were used as percussion instruments and can be heard in the soundtrack.
- The Airline in this show that flew the ill-fated flight is called "Oceanic" this Airline name has been used before in Executive Decision (1996), and has also been used in many other made-for-TV movies.
- 'Yoon-jin Kim' (Sun) originally read for the character of Kate. The producers felt she was not what they were looking for but decided to create a new character for her along with her character's spouse.
- 'Jorge Garcia' (Hurley) was the first person cast for the series.
- Originally, Michael Emerson was only cast for a few episodes in season two. The producers were so impressed with his performance that they cast him as a regular and rewrote the part of Henry Gale/Ben to feature him more prominently.
- Charlie was in a band called Drive Shaft. Their only hit was called "You All Everybody". That song can be heard in the background of an episode of Alias, another show created by JJ Abrams.
- Jorge Garcia, Matthew Fox, and Dominic Monaghan all auditioned originally for the part of Sawyer as the other characters had not been developed at the time.
- Each episode -- other than the pilot -- covers 48 hours on the island.
- Originally, Libby was not set to die, but Ana Lucia Cortez was not a popular enough character to garner sympathy from fans, so Libby was killed as well for emotional impact.
- Michael Keaton was considered for the part of Jack, but turned it down. Had he accepted, he would have been killed off in the pilot episode.
Bring on season 4!!
