LOST: Down the Hatch | Season 2, Episode 17: “Lockdown”
Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) and Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) spend more than two hours staring at the Blast Door Map, as they get down and dirty with “Lockdown.”
In their discussion of “Lockdown,” Josh and Mike break down the second John Locke flashback of LOST season two, as the Man of Faith finds himself locked in the hatch with “Henry Gale,” if that’s even his real name. (Spoiler: it’s not.) Plus, poker! Lots going on in “Lockdown,” and lots going on this week in the LOST universe, as the storied series celebrates the 10th anniversary of its series finale. Josh and Mike will return soon with some celebratory shenanigans.
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: 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 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.
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.
