So, i couldn't help but come up with a few similarities between how the pilot episode of Lost opened with Jack and how this episode opened with Locke. I'm not giving this a lot of credit as far as story development, but i found the similarities interesting...any thoughts?

1. Both episodes open with the camera focused on the characters right eye. (this is a reocurring theme, so its not too interesting, but still a similarity).

2. After paning back, the camera shows the characters lying on their back in the middle of the forest.

3. Both characters find themselves alone in the forest after some sort of major accident (plane crash for Jack, hatch ex/im plosion for Locke)

4. Both characters notice something running around in the forest around them, and later see what/who was running around them (Jack heard/saw Walt's dog...Locke heard/saw Desmond).

So...i thought i had a few more, but i guess these are the only ones i can remember right now. Anyone able to think/observe any others that i may have missed? And again, any thoughts?
