Lost - Mirrored scenes

Lost - “The Man From Tallahassee” Game room scene vs. the “I Do” Glass Wall Scene

The Lost writers use repeated dialogue all the time, and I believe it’s done on purpose to compare or contrast the linked scenes. The glass wall scene in I Do of course had the beautiful visual mirroring of Kate and Jack’s reflected images blending into one another.

Wonderful, mom. Just great. Our Jaters are just kicking ass lately with all the analysis posts. It's like a well has sprung after it's been dry for so long. I love that you parallel these scenes. How significant. Thanks for this.

Psst... you should post this on the Couch too. Hope you're planning to do that. :)

When I was "scripting" the scene, I noticed all this and it really made me giddy because the Lost writers have ALWAYS been meticulous in how they choose their dialogue (it's why I pay too much attention to it). Thanks for this analysis, it's spot-on awesome!
