‘LOST’s’ claimed candidates create more questions

On this week’s episode of “LOST,” “The Lighthouse,” we met a mini-Shepherd, Jack’s son, David. David stays with Jack while David’s mother is out of town, but the two have trouble communicating. We see commonalities in the relationships between Jack and his father and Jack and his son. Luckily, Jack is neither a lush nor a prick, and he overcomes the communication barrier when he shows up to his son’s piano audition only to meet Mr. “Too-Cool for English” Dogan and his tiny, prodigy son.
