Any character on Lost™️: *gets killed off*

Airport security: sir, you can’t take that onto the plane

I just did a research project on Lost for a communications class and actually the diversity was one piece of what led to Lost’s phenomenal success, and a HUGE reason for its global success. People loved having a show like Lost (which was unique for its time in MANY ways) that wasn’t about any one culture or (real) place. People all over the world could see themselves reflected in those characters, which was definitely not something many (if any) shows could say at the time. What other show from the early 2000s not only featured characters from Korea, the United States, Iraq, Brazil, Australia, France, Spain, the U.K., and Nigeria and showed the characters living their lives in these locations, but also featured countless scenes in languages other than English? For much of the early show, before (spoiler) it’s revealed that Sun learned English, the Kwons speak exclusively in Korean (and those who refer to them as anything other than Korean are swiftly called out by other characters) and continue to speak to each other in Korean long after Sun’s secret gets out. Richard Alpert’s flashback scenes are almost entirely in Spanish. Hugo Reyes is bilingual and speaks Spanglish with his family. Danielle Rousseau soeaks French, leaves her distress signal in French to be loosely translated by a feazzled American girl who spent a year “drinking, not studying!” in Paris. Mr. Eko is shown speaking Swahili with his brother and others in flashbacks.
