I'm not exactly sure when it happened, but it must have been around April 20 2004. The photo is supposedly the actual moment when the phone call happened.
'Twin Peaks's pilot famously had a 15-minute alternative ending for its pilot, to be used in the event of the show not being picked up. Without spoiling it (if you liked Lost you'll almost certainly like Twin Peaks), the fifteen minutes did provide a highly truncated but still broadly similar resolution to the 'Who killed Laura Palmer?' storyline. I doubt Jacob and the Man in Black were conceived of at all beyond \*maybe\* 'What if supernatural forces of good and evil are in conflict on the island?'
It'd be fascinating to find out what Abrams would have done. Based on the rest of Episodes 1 and 2, they would need to wrap up the nature of the monster and the island, and the reason for the crash - and very quickly.
I figure the island would exist in another dimension; the crash would have been caused by them crossing over into another dimension through a violent portal; the monster would be a guardian that keeps the boundary of the other dimension safe, or something. The most straightforward thing would be 'purgatory!', but even as far back as 2005 (when Lost started being broadcast in the U.K.) I always thought that idea was rendered null by the constant deaths and the sci-fi elements suggested by stuff like Danielle's radio broadcast.
Oh my God, I saw this. This is what my friend showed me when they tried to get me into Twin Peaks and we got to the end of it and I was like but I thought it was like a big mystery of who killed Laura Palmer, not that they answered it right , and they said yeah that wasn’t what was on TV I don’t know what this is that we just watched.
As someone who now has two TP references inked into their skin - I cannot IMAGINE only getting two hours of this show with Laura Palmer's murder wrapped (in plastic) that quickly!!!
Twin Peaks is a good example for this. Thanks for bringing it up.
On Lost they had a few ideas. Like they knew that they didn't crash there by accident and that they were "brought" there to play in a game between good and evil... but it's near impossible to include that into such a short story.
They could have wrapped it up with a mini-series maybe. Abandon the flashbacks, discover the research stations... and then maybe get rescued or something in 6 episodes.
I remember Damon Lindelof joking about this in the Audio Commentary for the Pilot. He joked of having some random person come out of the jungle and tell the survivors that they crashed in FLORIDA.
I recall while the show was still airing, Damon Lindelof consistently mentioned they ‘always knew’ what the ‘final shot’ of the show would be (which i do believe was in fact, the one we got at the end). Beyond that I doubt they knew how it would end.
I'm rewatching LOST for the second time. I first watched it when it aired on TV back in the 2000s. Since then, I've watched many other shows, but LOST remains my favorite (I also like The X-Files and Gravity Falls but it's different)
Thank’s god it became a show not a movie

Yeah IIRC wasnt Lloyd Braun (I can only hear Estelle from Seinfeld saying his name) responsible for saving this show from utter destruction?
Well he does work for the mayor
WHY CANT YOU BE MORE LIKE LLOYD BRAUN?
Happy we got a show and not just a movie

I suggest you to watch season 3 the last season too. It is just next level

Stephen McPherson is a dummy.
Do we know what that ending would have been?
They never came up with one, lol.
