Lost

I recently watched the first season of Lost on DVD. I received the set for Christmas. One moment I identified with occurred in a flashback when Sawyer is having a drink with Jack's father. The father, talking about Jack, says he could fix his relationship with just one phone call and points to a pay phone in the bar. I can relate to that. Sometimes a single call can solve a problem but a person just can't bring himself to pick up the phone and say what needs to be said. You can be filled with regret for the rest of your left because of it.

One thing I don't find as believable is Kate's obsession with the toy airplane. She robs a bank and is willing to shoot people in order to recover the souvenir of the man whose death she caused. I've never really developed a bond with a material object simply because it belonged to someone I loved and lost. Maybe some people do.
