Season 6: What They Died For 01/31/2023

Season 6: What They Died For The endgame is fast approaching. We talk about how satisfying it is to watch Jack come into his own as a leader, how moving it is to see Sideways Locke accept his offer of help, how frustrating Jacob's conception of "choice" is, and much more.

Season 6: Across the Sea 11/17/2022

Season 6: Across the Sea It's no secret that this episode — where we learn about the early lives of Jacob and the Man in Black, along with their Mother — isn't a favorite among Lost fans.

Season 6: The Candidate 11/01/2022

Season 6: The Candidate Yes, it's the episode where Sayid redeems himself. The one where Sun and Jin meet their terrible fate. The one where Sawyer is at his best — and most tragic. We analyze it from every angle, and get some more Season 6 stories from executive producer Jean Higgins. The end is near! Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast and at Facebook.com/TheHatchPodcast.

Season 6: Recon 08/09/2022

Season 6: Recon Sawyer has come a long way since Season 1, even if he's not yet the (mostly) thoughtful man we see in this week's (delicious) flash sideways.

Season 6: Dr. Linus We talk "Dr. Linus" with Benjamin Linus himself, the great Michael Emerson. He tells us why he thinks Ben was a good-hearted person deep down all along, and why power was never right for him. We lament the corrupting influence of the Island — or maybe just Jacob.

Season 6: Sundown 07/12/2022

Season 6: Sundown Director Bobby Roth walks us through Sundown, from the Sayid-Dogen fight sequence to the crowded final scene. Sayid is still in love with Nadia in the flash sideways and it breaks our hearts. And yes, the Darkness has taken Sayid, but — and hear us out — what if the Darkness was inside us all along?

Season 6: What Kate Does 05/31/2022

Season 6: What Kate Does Maybe this should have been a Sawyer episode? And what if Sayid had actually *chosen* the dark side, instead of getting infected?

Season 5: Follow the Leader 08/12/2021

Season 5: Follow the Leader It's the endgame now: Jack has a purpose, Kate thinks it's a dumb purpose, and Locke is sounding less and less like Locke.

Season 5: The Variable 08/05/2021

Season 5: The Variable We spend the bulk of this episode meditating on the nature of time, free will, and the difference between prescribed outcomes and choices that were always made. It's pretty in the weeds, but we think Daniel Faraday would have appreciated it. Special guest Mark Pellegrino joins us to talk about playing Jacob.

Season 5: Some Like It Hoth 07/29/2021

Season 5: Some Like It Hoth The show gets surreal as Hurley tries to rewrite "Star Wars" and Miles communes with the dead while his parents raise his baby self nearby. We absolutely love it, and we sympathize with how Miles is feeling about his dad. Plus we keep talking with Patrick Fischler, aka Phil, who tells us how LOST changed his life.

Season 5: Dead Is Dead 07/22/2021

Season 5: Dead Is Dead We love this episode. The Ben Linus/John Locke relationship reaches new and intriguing heights as Ben tries to parse who this new person is. The Ben Linus/Charles Widmore relationship gets a little more color, though neither man comes out looking great. And our special guest this week is Patrick Fischler, who played the Dharma Initiative's loveable, hateable Phil. Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast and at Facebook.com/TheHatchPodcast.

Season 5: Whatever Happened, Happened 07/15/2021

Season 5: Whatever Happened, Happened This week we've got a deep dive into Kate's psyche (and Jack's, and Juliet's, and Sawyer's). Why did she give up Aaron, and should she have done it three years ago? Was she ever truly comfortable with "The Lie"? Plus we interview director Bobby Roth, who tells us about working with Evangeline Lilly and Matthew Fox. Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast and at Facebook.com/TheHatchPodcast.

Season 5: He's Our You 07/08/2021

Season 5: He's Our You After being dragged back to the Island against his will, Sayid continues down a dark path. Juliet recognizes that her life in Dharma Initiative is coming to an end and Sawyer begins to do the same. It's all very sad. Luckily, actor Eric Lange joins us for a very fun interview segment to talk about bringing Stuart Radzinsky to life. Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast and at Facebook.com/TheHatchPodcast.

Season 5: Namaste 07/01/2021

Season 5: Namaste Sawyer continues impressing the hell out of us, saving people left and right and (maybe?) showing stronger leadership skills than Jack ever did. Plus we get our first glimpses of Radzinsky (what a jerk!) and Young Ben (super creepy). And Mark Goldman tells us more about directing "LaFleur" and editing all six seasons of LOST. Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast and at Facebook.com/TheHatchPodcast. Leave us your hot take at +1 954-6-DHARMA. Our theme music is by Andy G.

Season 5: LaFleur 06/24/2021

Season 5: LaFleur Sawyer convinces the Dharma Initiative to take his group in, confronts Richard, falls in love with Juliet, and continues to search for John Locke and the Oceanic Six. Mark Goldman, who directed this episode, takes us behind the scenes for all of it. Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast and at Facebook.com/TheHatchPodcast. Leave us your hot take at +1 954-6-DHARMA.

Season 5: The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham 06/17/2021

Season 5: The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham In Jeremy Bentham's short life, he did a lot: Saw Charles Widmore and Walt, talked about fate and free will with Matthew Abbadon, had several terse conversations with Oceanic 6 survivors, and ultimately — in one of the show's most difficult-to-watch scenes — was killed. We'll discuss all of it, then hear more from Jeff Fahey, who played Frank Lapidus. Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast and at Facebook.com/TheHatchPodcast. Leave us your hot take at +1 954-6-DHARMA. Our theme music is by Andy G. Cohen and our cover art is by Danny Roth. /episode/index/show/thehatch/id/19505294
