10 Fan Edits That Totally Transform Famous Films

9. Lost: The Miniseries

When it started, JJ Abrams and the rest of the mystery box crew behind ABC's blockbuster TV hit assured us that everything would get explained in the end. They had a plan. Eventually, they would spill the beans on why Oceanic Airlines Flight 815 crash landed on that island, and why that island had a polar bear on, amongst other things.

As it happens they were talking out of their collective bottoms, and pretty much making things up as they go along, before crashing and burning with a terribly unsatisfying ending where (SPOILERS) they were in purgatory all along. Which is one of the first theories people came up with. Also there was time travel involved somehow. We're still not quite sure on the specifics of that one.

Allegedly part of the issue was that Lost was a victim of its own success: they had a plan to wrap everything up in four seasons, but ABC pushed them to continue it further, wanting to keep their cash cow alive as long as possible. Which is why all that ridiculous stuff got made up on the fly. An avid Lost fan going by the name of DriggyDriggs decided to totally change the disappointing final season, cutting it down to a four-part miniseries where the consequences of the season five finale were very, very different.

There's no time travelling. There's none of this nonsense about the afterlife or purgatory or magic churches. It's just a look at the lives of the surviving islanders, and they act more in-character, and the final scene is totally changed, too.

It's pretty neat, and manages to take everything that was in the broadcast version of Lost's final season and takes it in a totally new direction. Which was kinda necessary.
