Regina Austen, meet Kate Spektor

And now an off-the-wall moment. When I watched “The Incident,” Season 5’s finale, and saw Jacob talking to young Kate, I thought, “Hey! That’s, like, little kiddie Regina Spektor!”

Think I’m loony? Well, this morning I just watched a CBS Sunday Morning story on Regina Spektor originally broadcast three years ago and it included pictures of her when she was nine. Sure enough, little nine-year-old Regina looked exactly like the child actor who played Kate in that scene from “The Incident”! So what does this mean?

1) Does Kate consider Tom Brennan, her childhood sweetheart to be her “sweetest downfall”?

2) Is Kate the real mother of David Shephard and that’s where David gets his virtuosic piano skills?

3) If Kate ever makes her peace with the law, will she become an internationally famous pop star?

4) Did sideways Kate actually kill her biological father, or was it really Fiona Apple?
