Uncharted Island

Catch the latest LOST Moment?

Basically, Tom tells Jack (in the operating room) that the only reason he’s still alive is because they need him to do the surgery.  Ahd he wants to know if it’s true that Juliet really told him to kill Ben.

Since we already saw a Moment with Jack in a cage, we know they don’t kill him straight away. This implies that Ben does survive the surgery.  Maybe he’s the one who decides that Jack should live, but in the cage.  I wonder what this will mean for Juliet.

Did you catch the last LOST Moment? It may have been trickier this week since they pulled Daybreak from the schedule. It’s available online both in the official location and here, for those of us who are not American Express cardholders:

If nothing else, we see that Pickett didn’t kill Sawyer before Kate ran for the beach.

It was only about five seconds long, but we did see that Jack survives his attempt on Ben Linus’s life in the operating room, although he seems to have found his new home in a cage likely vacated by either Kate or Sawyer.

And Cindy is alive!  I wasn’t able to make out any of the other faces of the crowd outside the cage, but I’ll take a wild guess that most of them were taken from the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815.

Maybe we’ll finally learn why Cindy - the flight attendant who had a thing with Bad Twin author Gary Troup - disappeared on the hike from the Tailies camp back to the beach with the rest of the lostaways.  Speculation flew wildly when it happened.  Did the Others grab her while Sawyer was being hoisted up the cliff in the stretcher?  Or was Cindy in cahoots with the Others, deciding to rejoin her people before coming into contact with more of the plane crash survivors?

I was sucked in by the lure of a “LOST moment” sometime during the broadcast of the series premier of Day Break. I’ve liked Taye Diggs ever since I saw him on Broadway as RENT’s original Benny, so that didn’t hurt either.

But when they promoted a LOST moment - they really meant only a moment. I’m sure the video cappers will be able to prove it definitively… but I think it was only 5 seconds long. And part of it was shown in the coming attractions at the end of the fall finale. We were robbed.

On the other hand, Day Break seems to be better than I thought it would be. Two former X-Files cast members, Mitch Pileggi and Adam Baldwin. (X-Files did an episode like this once, called “Monday.” It was an excellent episode.) And the show is far less repetitive than I feared it would be, considering the premise. I’m just afraid they’ve got a limited run here.

So I’ll keep watching. But I hope the “moments” we get every week add up to have a little more substance as time goes on.
