He said he's seeing someone new

[Ophelia]

Just a totally random musing....

I wonder if H watched "Lost" tonight. It's a show we're both really into. We get the eps on TV here in Australia several months after they're shown in the US, so because we both got hooked after season 1, we downloaded the season 2 eps as they aired in the US because we didn't wanna wait several months to see them. I've been downloading the season 3 eps so far, but H hasn't been around to watch them of course. Anyway, tonight was the season 3 premiere on Aussie TV, so I wonder if H watched.

The reason I'm wondering is that - in case you don't watch the show - this episode shows flashbacks to a time in Jack's life where he was in the midst of getting a D. It had been established in previous episodes that his wife had been having an A and so left him and asked him for a D, which he contested.

Anyway, in the ep that was shown here tonight, we see Jack going out of his mind because she won't tell him the name of the guy she's seeing. When they meet at the lawyer's office, he tells her that he fired his lawyer, and that she could keep everything if she wanted, he just needed to know the name of the man who was sleeping with his wife, (actually, he wants to find out everything, like even when the first time they kissed was) but she refused to tell him, and he was such a mess over it he actually suspected that the man may be his own father. Turns out it wasn't his father, but Jack never did get that name.

Jack was just so miserable over the whole thing. It was seriously eating him up inside and making him look like hell on the outside. I so hope H was watching! Added bonus would be if he was watching it with OW. Nothing like an ep of a sci-fi type show to give you a slap in the face about reality.

At the end of the ep, we see Jack in present time, trapped on the Island, being held captive. One of his captors tells him that they know everything about him, and everyone else in his life as well, including his XW. He's asked if there's anything in particular he'd like to know about her. He hesitates, then instead of asking OM's name, he just asks, "Is she happy?", and he's told that yes, she is.

Here's hoping I don't have to wait a few years then be held captive on a mysterious island before I can get to the point where I no longer have any interest whatsoever in finding out OW's name. I'm not obsessing over it nearly as much as I was now that I'm pretty sure I've figured out who it's likely to be, but it'd be nice to one day to know if I'm on the money with my suspicion.
