Lost: Down the Hatch | Season 5 Episode 4: ‘The Little Prince’

Outrigger warning! It’s time to discuss the one mystery Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse said they would never answer, as Down the Hatch pushes onward into season five of LOST.

In Season 5, Episode 4, “The Little Prince,” Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) and Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) break down the mystery of the other outrigger, as Sawyer, Juliet, Locke and the rest try to survive their time-travel misadventure. Meanwhile, in the “present,” Jack and Kate reunite as a threat to take Aaron away comes into sharper focus.

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.
