ABC has launched the first of 13 web-only, mini episodes for Lost. The webisodes are about two minutes long and feature the major characters from Lost. They're called Missing Pieces and are meant to fill in extra information about characters and hint at the overall mythology of the island. The first episode of the series is called "The Watch" and it features Jack and his father.

And, oh my God, it is awful.

What a waste of time. The webisode is a seemingly meaningless exchange between Jack and his father before Jack's wedding to Sarah. Jack's dad gives him a watch. And it takes two and a half minutes to do it. Plus, the dialogue is very poor. For instance, Jack says, "Dad, are you trying to tell me something?" And, I could be wrong, but I think Matthew Fox isn't too thrilled about the webisode because he seems to be phoning it in.
