Far be it for me to knock the work of the hotter than hot right now J.J. Abrams but comparing your own work to that of literary God Charles Dickens is………. well taking the p i double s now really isn’t it.
According to J.J. the screenwriters for the hit TV show Lost, which he co-created, have never known from day one just where the mind boggling sci-fi story was heading. Which goes some way to explaining the numerous pain staking twists and turns the show throws up on a weekly basis I guess? And there was me thinking my brain was safe in the hands of a well organized, crack team of genetically created writers working round the clock in an elaborate studio. “Sigh”
"I'm sure when Charles Dickens was writing, he had a sense of where he was going - but he would make adjustments as he went along. You jump into it, knowing there's something great out there to find." J.J. has recently been quoted when speaking to The Guardian.
Ok, ok so I might be taking his comments a little bit too literally but still. I mean just because you got yourself a story with God knows how many characters that quite frankly you don’t have a clue what to do with, doesn’t quite make you Dickens my friend. Not by a long shot.
