Lost: Down the Hatch | Season 5 Episode 8: ‘LaFleur’

Who has your back? We do! This week on LOST: Down the Hatch, Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) and Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) cover “LaFleur,” the eighth episode of season five.
In “LaFleur,” we finally find out what happened to Sawyer, Juliet, Miles, Jin and Faraday in the three years after the Oceanix Six left the island. It’s one of the most celebrated episodes of all of LOST, let alone season five. Does it live up to the hype? Follow Josh and Mike as they search the DHARMA days for answers.

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 eight sound clips from each episode.

• The Others – Josh and Mike answer questions sent their way by listeners through the official e-mail address: [email protected]

• 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 rank every episode of LOST, by rating them all on a scale from 0 – 4.2. Josh and Mike offer their individual scores, listeners’ scores will be averaged as a third data point, then the three points combine as the podcast’s official score on each episode.
