Plot device for Lost that other shows don’t use

Just thought of something!

One of my favorite aspects of the show is the plot device of none of our main characters knowing each other before the show begins. A plane crash is obviously a great way to bring this idea into the show, but it got me thinking, are there any other television shows you can think of where the characters don’t know each other and they learn about each others backstories at the same time as the audience?

Right, I’m reposting this because it got removed a minute ago ago for spoiling. I had the spoiler in the noscript, so I’ll just put it in the denoscription.

Do Jack and Hurley become Demi-Gods when they drink from the water?

At the end of my first watch through of Season 2 and I have just one question, Why the hell does everyone keep hitting poor Locke on the head 😭😭

Would you name your child after a lost character? If so, who would be your top choice?

Have watched and loved enjoyed Lost every couple of years since it aired, and I don't know why, but up until now I've never noticed how terrible all of the Temple scenes are in Season 6 are.

Dogen & Temu Lennon where so terribly written. Dogen would have been more likable if he genuinely couldn't speak English and needed a translator, now he just kind of comes off as a giant asshole 😂😂
And It really makes no sense what they did to sayid

There’s something odd about the Oceanic Hotline Number…

So I was giving Lost a second watch and I’ve made it to Season 4 episode 2. I saw the scene where the fake plane is being broadcasted and I decided to call the number on the screen. Well for some reason it took me to a phone sex hotline… Don’t worry I didn’t click on any of the numbers I was told to press lol. I thought this was a joke from the producers but when I looked up the number on Wiki, it gave a full trannoscription of what’s supposed to be said and it didn’t mention anything about the phone sex at all. Is this a recent change? Did a phone sex hotline take over the number? I highly doubt this is what people heard when the number was fresh. Has anyone here also called the number?

Torches

How easily they have torches bothers me. Everyone has a torch and no one makes them.
Torches aren’t simply a rag on a stick. They require oil, resin, pitch, something.
One time I saw Locke wrap cloth around a stick, but only once.
I get it’s not a sexy thing to add to a show, but it bothers me.

How come the Lost cast weren’t really prominent outside of the series?

Except for Charlie and Kate going in to the LOTR/Hobbit franchise, I haven’t really seen any other actors/actresses elsewhere. I think I saw sayid in Sense8, but other than that, no one…

Maybe it’s a series thing? E.g the Friends cast with the exception of Jennifer anniston.

This is the scene Sawyer was watching from Little House. Hits hard. I figured I'd share.
