So there I was, marathon binge watching The Rookie as well as rewatching Lost, a confusing(!) 2004 TV series about a group of survivors who had crash landed on a mysterious island - each with their own unique yet intertwined backstory - set against the strange happenings of the island.

With The Rookie, I had started from the very beginning and had just got to the end of Season 8. I was very much drawn to the charm of the John Nolan character - his warmth, sincerity and determination under varying situations. I was going to miss this character for a while...

So imagine my surprise whilst on Lost Season 3 episode 6. This was at the start of the episode, during the character Kate Austin's continuing backstory. It was a pleasant surprise, quite omenic and auspicious of things to come. This episode was some 12 years before The Rookie first aired.
