'Lost' to Premiere on Groundhog Day!

Now we know when the sixth and final season of “Lost” will begin. According to the ABC press release, the show will debut on Tuesday, February 2. The evening will kick off at 8 pm with a one-hour recap, followed by a two-hour premiere episode.
I am one of those obsessed “Lost” fans who analyze and dissect every fact connected with “Lost.” So what immediately jumped out at me is the realization that February 2 is Groundhog Day! Coincidence? I think not.
Actually the movie “Groundhog Day” starring Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell has always been one of my favorites. And what is the main theme of “Groundhog Day?” Simply that Murray's weatherman character Phil Connors MUST relive the day over and over until he “gets it right.” That is, he stops being a conceited a-hole and matures into a warm, caring, almost heroic person.
And his efforts to woo and win over his assistant Rita also evolve, as his initial obnoxious, caveman-like efforts are totally rebuffed, until he finally learns to listen to her, understand her, and mature into a responsive, sincere, self confident human being…without losing his sense of humor.
It is the perfect analogous movie for the final season of “Lost” to emulate. For example several of his repeated “Groundhog Days” end with Phil attempting to kill himself, but he always wakes up the following day. Sound familiar, doesn't it? Remember, “Lost's” season five ended with everyone on the island being blown up by a hydrogen bomb that they intentionally set off!
And let's talk about how he wakes up, precisely at 6 am with his alarm clock radio going off blaring Sonny and Cher's song “I Got You Babe.” I can think of several “Lost” episodes that began with someone waking up to music, including Dr. Chang at the beginning of last season's finale.
I will go out on a limb and predict that season six's opening scene will include a sleeping person being woken up by a song playing on the radio. If that song happens to be “I Got You Babe,” (or any Sonny and Cher song, since “Lost's” producers tend to be somewhat subtle) well, I think I should be moved into the “Lost” Super Fan Hall of Fame!
Also take a look at the way that Phil changed and evolved to finally win over Rita. Is this what Jack must now do to become the man that Kate always thought he could become and truly love?
(Aside from “Lost,” a lot of men who wonder why women continuously blow them off could learn a lesson or two by watching how Phil matures in the movie.)
I am sure there are other tie-ins between “Groundhog Day” and “Lost,” and I certainly plan on renting the movie and watching it before February 2, 2010.
Overall, both “Groundhog Day” and “Lost” contain the similar theme of some mysterious outside force causing the main characters to do things over until they “get it right.”
I have also tried to examine the significance of “Lost” moving from its usual Wednesday evening time slot to Tuesdays. There is some Internet speculation the move is simply because ABC has finally developed a strong Wednesday, 9:00 lineup, with “Modern Family” followed by “Cougar Town.”
But I keep coming back to the fact that since Groundhog Day falls on a Tuesday next year, the move was absolutely necessary.
What do you think?
