#101

Well, I woke up this morning and it was today. Not yesterday, as I had feared after watching the series premiere of DayBreak last night. Poor Taye Diggs. If you're unfamiliar with the show, Taye Diggs (I just can't call him by his character's name, nor by just Taye. It's Taye Diggs. Anyone ever seen that "Ed" episode where Taye Diggs was randomly in Ed's dreams? He kept appearing, and Ed would say, "Hey, Taye Diggs." It was funny.) is a cop who continually wakes up on the same day to discover that he is being framed for the murder of an asst. DA. He makes different choices each time and with varying consequences, although anything that physically happens to him stays the same - shaving cut, bruised ribs, bullet wound, that sort of thing. There's a couple different conspiracies going on, as well as some shady background characters - whose side they're on I haven't quite figured out yet, although it's just the first episode. I'm glad ABC put something worthwhile together to tide us Losties over until February. After last year's re-run debacle and the ensuing loss of viewers it seems they've at least partly learned their lesson. We've had 6 new Losts in a row, now a 9 week break during which DayBreak will air, and then we'll have 18 weeks of new Lost episodes starting in February. I hope Taye Diggs will figure out what's happening to him and wake up when it's tomorrow. But it will be interesting for the rest of us to relive his today, over and over. There could be worse people to look at day after day.
