#Lost Tv Show Stars Tell Us About 15 Years of Awkward Fan Encounters on Planes

For the show’s 15th anniversary, they talk about what it’s like to star on “Lost”
“When ABC’s “Lost” premiered on Sept. 22, 2004, it was a risky investment and the most expensive television pilot ever made. For one, it shot on location in Hawaii complete with extremely realistic plane wreckage and explosions. But it soon turned into a cultural milestone that would forever change the face of television.
“Lost” was a “water cooler” show the likes of which we may never see again, from a time when audiences still gathered with friends and family on their sofas once a week in front of television sets to watch. Afterwards, they rushed to their desktop computers to post fan theories on the internet’s first chat rooms. It was a time before binge-watching, when “Previously on Lost” provided an essential recap of the most recent flashbacks, flashforwards and flash-sideways; mad-dashes through the jungle; encounters with the smoke monster; Dharma Initiative experiments; polar bears; questions like “What lies in the shadow of the statue?”; and travels through time.
All these years later, “Lost” and all of its mysteries inspire such intense nostalgia that its stars still have frequent encounters with die-hard fans. In honor of the show’s 15th anniversary this Sunday, nine of its cast members share their most amusing, startling and touching fan encounters.”

Happy Lost Finale Day !!
9 years ago today the #LOST finale aired. The episode, and especially those last several minutes at the church beautifully scored by @m_giacchino, tug on my heart in a way no other show has.
Lost is owed an apology after the disaster that is the GOT final season.
A few good articles about Evangeline Lilly and ‘The Wasp’
I ran across a few articles about Evangeline Lilly, her role as The Wasp and some comments she made about some of the acting in #LOST and though that I would share them.
We really like ‘The Ant Man and The Wasp’ and enjoyed her and Paul’s acting and interaction. It is good to read that Lilly worked hard to make The Wasp a better character and not just a 2nd rate female hero.
Personally I think the #LOST writers took the easy road with Kate by pushing the conflict between Jack and Sawyer. Her backstory didn’t make it seem that she was obsessed with men, but retaining her freedom. She would have had a better role as Jack’s second in command.
