Heya,

I'm working on a bunch of stuff that's all about the pilot of the tv show Lost and there is something on my wishlist that I'd still like to get done and that's kind of a "script cut."

The idea isn't to make a "better" version of the pilot, but to produce a version that reflects the script and includes as much material as possible - to kind of show what's missing and highlight all the changes that were made. One idea I had was to have it maybe be presented in a split screen format alongside the script scrolling by, so it's not a typical fanedit and more educational.

Maybe that could/would be a way to be transformative enough to be presentable on Youtube.

If anybody thinks that this could be an interesting project and would like to work on this, just respond. I'm looking for feedback and somebody to work with, because I can hardly edit anything myself :D

That material I have to work with is:

• The finished pilot itself (duh)

• The officially released deleted scenes

• The full script

• The original cut that's already a bit longer

• Over 30 hours of raw and uncut dailies

Mattv1:

>I'm not trying to imply that it will end anytime soon, but when Lost does end, what would you like to see happen?

>Would they be rescued?

>would they have adapted so well, that they wouldn't want to leave (like Swiss Family Robinson)?

>Would they all be dead?

>Any thoughts on how you'd like the show to end?

>If each season covers only 40 days, like season 1 will, they could do 9 seasons and still have been there less than a year. wierd huh?

Datenshi:

>I see only about 9 or 10 of the main characters making it and with tearful reunions and various revelations about what is truly important in life.

>Then lots of group therapy.

Island721:

> I was thinking about how long the show would be too. And was trying to imagine them like year three with their tree-cities like in that other book (what was the name?). But I bet they'll have aroung nine seasons. Considering the fact that none of the viewers know where its going nor do the actors in fact (only the writers do) I have no idea how its going to end. But I have to say that I wouldn't want the show to end with them being rescued. I want to show to never end! Hahah! No, but I dont think it would be a good ending if they were rescued. I dont know how I'd want it to end. But I'd want something huge to happen that will like either leave them all dead or make me sob hysterically.

tomkat:

>Hmmm, fun question. I think the ones who are left will have the option to leave. Kate will decide to go back and face the consequences of her actions. Sayid and Shannon will stay and have lots of babies. Locke will walk off into the woods. Boone will be dead. Michael takes Walt and Sun back to America. Jin will be dead. Charlie and Claire stay because her kid cannot leave the island. Hurley and the diary lady leave the island and live off of the millions he won in the lottery. Jack and Sawyer travel the world together as new best friends. Oh, and Rose is reunited with her husband.

goodsquishy:

>As long as it does not end like "St. Elsewhere"

>Here is an ending, Locke, Dainelle, and Ethan are the only ones alive. And then another plain or boat wrecks onto the island. All three do not say a word, turn around and go their seperate ways.

Trito:

> It would be realistic if they all died by the end but that would suck so I'm going to go with them managing to find something in the forest or the 'others' have a boat or something that they steal. By this time only Charlie, Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Sayid and Claire are alive (possibly Walt, Claire, her baby and Hurley) I don't think Micheal is going to live much longer considering he'll probably die to save Walt or something and then Walt will miss him terribly. Locke will be dead because I think he'll go all insane on them, Boone and Shannon won't live much longer either and Sun and Jin will probably die protecting each other or something corny like that, anyhow, once they steal the boat we FINALLY see the monster run out from the forest and attack them, Either Jack or Sawyer will die to this guy, distracting it so the rest of them can manage to get away. After that the boat takes them only about half-way through the ocean when they see something in the distance. They look carefully and are surprised to see the island once again so it's like no matter how hard they try they'll never be able to leave....and then it ends.

Suomynona:

>Okay, I've got it ^^ Most of the crash survivers die or get killed, leaving, say, four or five left, all of the main fourteen. Walt is one of the people left, and he realizes his power and attempts to summon a rescue crew. Then the "monster" (or whatever it is) corners all four/five of them, and it ends like that ^^ Double-cliffhanger! Wouldn't that rock? lol.

cory16:

>I think they should be rescued. I'm sure quite a few will have been killed off. I think they should do an extra episode after the official series finale showing them in the real world. I doubt they could get adjusted very easily. I can see Locke staying on the island. And then getting eaten by the monster as the others sail off...

ed233:

> I want them all to die. Eventually. I'd like to see the disease that Danielle describe be real, and have it take over one person after another, but so they can't tell at first. The people on the island would be divided between the non-infected and the infected (though having them be organized might not be great) and the healthy people would have to struggle to both defend themselves from their enemies and keep from getting infected. The numbers of the healthy keep dwindling further and further until there's only two or three left (say, Kate/Jack/Charlie) and they're spending most of the hours of the day staying awake trying in vain to defend themselves. The last episode has them looking like they're winning, finally finishing off most of the infected survivors, and just when it looks like they might survive, Kate becomes infected, and kills Charlie off in the distance. Jack kills what he thinks is the last infected person, and turns around to find Kate attack him.

smeagolpoop:

> The Apocalypse. Claire's baby is the anti-christ and the survivors find out that they were all brought there to be consumed in a massive sacrifice as the Lord of Darkness begins his final assault on the forces of Heaven. The series ends with a slow pan over the survivors' tortured, mutilated, dead remains, and we are left with a feeling of absolute despair as the final shot is a close-up of Jack's severed head mounted on a pole staring hopelessly out to sea.

LOSTCSI:

> what I think would be an interesting ending would be if at the end when everyone gets "rescued" the screens goes white and then we see all the characters in a insane asylum and what happened is that they just imagined it all because everyone is always around and so there mind wonders to this "adventure" and then when they snap out of it they try to convince the orderlys thatit really happened but they are told it never did and then are put into there cells but at the end they go to a room in the basement and it shows everything that each person had while on the island and then the room is locked forever

lanaface:

> wouldnt it b cool if all of them actually did die in the plane crash and the island is some sort of crazy afterlife and they cant move on to a new better life bcoz theyre all trapped there as punishment for the bad things theyve done...eg charlie addicted to drugs, sayid torturing ppl whilst he was an army guy, kate commiting her unknown crime...i know not all of the characters fit into this typecast but its cool to think that right? and wen the characters die on the island theyre actually moving on from the half life on the island to their next life...?

The Steam Controller comes out soon... but Valve already used that name before for the first Steam Controller. At some point they will also release the Steam Machine and a new Steam Deck. What do you think they should call them?

When you look at the history of console names, I'd argue that Sony did it best with the Playstation, followed by the Playstation 2 and 3 and 4 and 5. I'd argue that their VR sets had bad names and should have been called PS4VR and PS5VR respectively, since those were dedicated to that generation.

Microsoft was terrible... Xbox. Xbox 360. Xbox One (but not the first). Xbox Series. What will come next? I think they just didn't want to go with Xbox 2, because they would have to compete with the PS3 and didn't want to come across as lesser, because 3 is more than 2. (The Windows naming conventions weren't any better.)

Nintendo is all over the place with their consoles as well. Like there is the DS and the 3DS, but then there was the 2DS and the New 3DS, because that's not confusing at all.

Personally I like consistency... but I'm not sure that it's the best solution. Maybe the year would be an option to distinguish the different generations. Like Valve could release the Steam Machine 2026 and when they have a new one it will be the Steam Machine 2030 or something. Doesn't really roll off your tongue, though.

Thoughts?
