From Broadcast Depth – Episode 25: ‘A Tale of Two Cities’ & ‘The Glass Ballerina’

Season 3 is an purposefully unusually structured season, designed to satisfy the die hard fans but only made them angry. Ben and Kevin discuss why that choice was made before diving into the two episodes themselves.

Picking up from where Season 2 ended, we see where the Others took Jack, Kate, and Sawyer, get introduced to some new Others, and find out if Sayid’s reconnaissance mission with Sun and Jin was a success or failure. Our two flashbacks show us how Jack dealt with his divorce and a side of Sun we never fathomed could exist. Grab yourself a fish biscuit and join us as we chat about the Season 3 premiere!

So… Ben & Matt made a bet with The Superhero Pantheon regarding plot details in Avengers: Infinity War. If they won, Jerome & Brian had to put Iron Man 3 in their Hall of Fame (where it belongs). If they lost they had to review Catwoman. It was a tie. Welcome to Hell. Continue reading Catwoman Review (aka The Perils of Gambling)

From Broadcast Depth – Episode 22: ‘S.O.S’ & ‘Two for the Road’

thumbnail_Michael

Rose and Bernard grew to be two of the most beloved background characters in LOST. So much so, that the show gave them their own flashback episode, providing us with their “meet cute”, the reason they were in Australia, and Rose’s unique reason for not wanting to be rescued.

Our second episode is much less pleasant. As the death toll doubles, rumor and innuendo began to swirl in regards to the real life drama surrounding the actresses whose times on the show came to the end. Our hosts tackle these rumors while also giving their summation of the two characters lifetimes on the island. The drama is ramping up as we inch closer to the season two finale!

From Broadcast Depth – Episode 19: ‘The Long Con’ & ‘One of Them’

thumbnail_HenryGale

Two episodes lead to two dynamic changes. First, Sawyer flexes his con man muscles to take back what he feels is rightfully his. Then, Sayid flexes his “interrogation” muscles when Rousseau captures a man named Henry Gale, who may or may not be one of the Others. In our flashbacks we see one of Sawyer’s emotions potentially ruin one of his bigger cons, and we learn how Sayid learned his skill of torture – and it’s likely not in the way you’d expect.

Our main island Survivors cross paths with the Others in search of Michael, a meeting which causes Jack to take action. Charlie’s hallucinations and erratic behavior lead some of the Survivors to believe he’s back on heroin – but is he? In our flashbacks, we learn what lead to Jack and Sarah splitting, and how Charlie knows all too well the burden of being a junkie father as he watched his brother from afar.

These episodes lead to side discussions on certain aspects of the show treading water in this portion of Season Two, and a great featurette from the bonus features of the box set adds some valuable insight into all the care each LOST episode has put into it.

What Kate Did

In ‘What Kate Did’ we discover what…Kate…did…to become a fugitive. We also get a glimpse at Mr. Eko’s life in Nigeria and how starkly different he is from the fellow we’ve come to know on the Island. Mr. Eko also helps Locke fill in the gaps on the DHARMA Initiative film reel, Michael potentially makes progress on finding his son, revelations of the Beechcraft, what moment caused some fans to jump ship, and we discuss some character issues that plague this second season.
