J.J Abrams was originally a co-creator of what we now know as "Lost" (It was an idea originally from Jeffrey Lieber which was then heavily readapted) along with Damon Lindelof. At the end of the first season as an executive producer, writer and director J.J Abrams decided to हटाइए on to other projects, so then Damon Lindelof called on Carlton Cuse to take J.J's place and those two (often called Darlton द्वारा fans) now run the show.
