The Lost writers enjoy assigning certainly songs and musical artists to specific characters. Kate has Patsy Cline and Desmond has Mama Cass. Well, he did, until someone stole it from him. In last night’s episode, when Michael gets in his car to speed into a storage container in hopes of killing himself, he cranks up the Mama Cass, this time the ironically titled “It’s Getting Better.”


I’m not sure of the significance, but it’s amusing nonetheless. Maybe the implication is that, if Michael truly wanted to die, all he needed to do was eat a sandwich. Congratulations if you’re old enough to get that joke.
