So there’s this guy who says he wrote the pilot script for Lost back in the 70’s and pitched it multiple times only to be rejected.  You can link to the writer’s list of similarities here and there are many.  But I’m not convinced that he didn’t have the original idea of the plane crash and the characters which Damon and Carlton were then presented by ABC and they ran with it.  This writer dude couldn’t have possibly fleshed out the idea as much as Darlton.  It’s like handing someone a ball of yarn and some needles and telling them to knit a hat.  Yes, it was your idea and tools to make the hat, but the knitter has to do all the work.  Thoughts?
