Abrams projects usually arrive with a hook, a question, or a giant piece of genre machinery. But if they work at all, there is almost always a person who gets to us before the bigger framework does.
Maybe yours was Sydney Bristow. Maybe it was Jack, Olivia, Kirk, Felicity, Marshall, Desmond, or somebody more unexpected. Sometimes the “fastest connection” answer is not even your all-time favorite. It is just the character who made you lean in first.
Fan Friday question: Which Abrams character did you connect with fastest, and what was the moment that sold you?
Quick charisma counts. So does emotional wreckage. This is a safe place for both.
