LOST: Down the Hatch | Season 1, Episode 16: “Outlaws”

Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) and Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) become boar experts and “Outlaws” in their latest episode of the LOST rewatch.

In “Outlaws,” Sawyer (Josh Holloway) undertakes two missions of vengeance: one against a boar on the island who has been rampaging through his stuff, and one against a man in Sydney who is allegedly responsible for ruining his life. In the process, he crosses paths with friends and foes, makes some new drinking buddies, and maybe even earns a few rare MVP points in the process.

“Outlaws” was directed by Jack Bender and written by Drew Goddard. It originally aired on February 16, 2005.

About Down the Hatch …

LOST: Down the Hatch is a full-tilt spoiler-filled rewatch of LOST. Every week, Josh and Mike break down an episode of LOST with the benefit of knowing the series’ full trajectory, using the following structure as a guide:

  • We Go “Fourth” – Josh and Mike begin each podcast with a deep-dive into the story both in front of and behind the camera, and they do so with the assistance of…
  • 8 Sounds – The events of LOST pop right off the camera and straight into your ears with eight memorable moments replayed on the podcast, helping us guide through the story;
  • 15/16 Others – Josh and Mike answer questions and comments sent their way through the official e-mail address: downthehatch@postshowrecaps.com
  • 23 Points – Each week, Josh and Mike hand out points for the best and worst characters of the episode in question, in a foolhardy attempt to determine the most and least valuable players in the LOST pantheon.
  • 4.2 Stars – Josh and Mike will attempt to create an official Down the Hatch ranking of every episode of LOST, by rating them all on a scale from 0 – 4.2. Josh and Mike will offer their individual scores, listeners’ scores will be averaged as a third data point, then the three points will be combined for the podcast’s official score on each episode.

Each episode of Down the Hatch clocks in at no less than 108 minutes. If the podcast falls short of that runtime, Josh and Mike have triggered a crisis! Consequences may (and almost certainly will) ensue thanks to the Frozen Donkey Wheel.
