Any watchers of "Lost" notice the little dramatic editing thing JJ Abrams seems to like to do?
At the beginning when Kirk's father is the last on the ship and he's talking with his wife and she's havin baby Kirk an all - we have that sequence as he's fighting off the bad guy and she's giving birth...all the sound kicks out and it's only the swelling of the music score. Lots of tense editing back and forth, fireballs and stuff.
Did that feel familiar? Happens on pivotal episodes of "Lost," and I'd be curious to go back and see if he did that on "Alias" too. Seems like a signature thing of his to really frame the "moment in which nothing will ever be the same," where several characters are going through changes that affect the whole storyline.
Wife and I kinda giggled about it, we both looked at each other and said "We're watching Lost!"
