I can't help but grin when I see a character actor from one show I am watching pop up while also recognizing him from another. So I'm watching the first episode of the fourth season of Lost, The Beginning of the End, and sure enough there is Michael Cudlitz from The Walking Dead (Abraham, the one just sure Eugene was the key to a cure, although he wasn't) as a police detective, Mike Walton, interrogating Hurley after a high speed chase! Yes, Hurley sees something that spooks him in a store. After he crashes, he meets Mike in "the room" where Ana's former partner asks about her. So Cudlitz showing up, even if a remotely small piece of Lost, reminds me of how television can introduce faces that link series together. Oceanic 6 (not 815, mind you) is what Hurley cries out when rightfully being arrested for the chase and crash. The way this reveal is directed, it has us wondering just who it could be. Jack looks on from the television as the chase is recorded, about to guzzle orange juice and booze cocktailed as he recognizes who that is. Mike does ask about Ana, but Hurley acts as if he never met her. Mike was clearly hoping he had. I'm not at that point yet where Cudlitz arrives on The Walking Dead, so seeing him on Lost will later just reverse things where I'm thinking back to Lost, about Mike while watching Abraham on The Walking Dead.
