Lost: Missing Pieces, "The Watch"

lostmobi1 Well, today we got our first taste of LOST in quite a while.  After hearing that there could be possible delays because of the strike, this became even more delectable.  Well, when watching the mobisodes, you may notice the quality does not match that of LOST.  True, they seem to be shot on digital video as opposed to super 35mm film and the editing and sound does not match that of the show.  However, you have to remember they are doing this as a little side project.

In this episode, we open with a shot of Jack tossing rocks into the ocean which makes you almost think he is on the Island(except he is wearing slacks and a nice shirt) until the camera pans and you see many sunlostmobi1_2 bathers and beach goers.  Jacks father, Christian Shepherd, walks up and asks him how he is doing.  He goes on to explain that it was either toss rocks into the ocean or help decorate for the wedding.  As they stand outside, just hours before Jack is to wed  Sarah, his father gives him a memento.  He explains that this watch was given to him by his father on his wedding day but that he never wore it because his father told him he had made the wrong choice for a wife and hated him for that.  He does however tell Jack that he is making the right choice and wants Jack to have this watch that his father gave him. 

The scene closes with Jack's father telling him that if he ever does have children to please treat them better than he had treated Jack.  Jack responds with a smirk and not know what to say, simply says "no pressure, right?". 

Probably the only thing we learned from this episode is that Christian did not like his father.  But it is interesting to see our favorite characters back in action.
