From Broadcast Depth Episode 11: ‘The Greater Good’ & ‘Born to Run’

From Broadcast Depth

The raft is just about ready to set sail, and a few more survivors find out about the hatch, but first Boone needs to be laid to rest, figuratively and literally. We also discover why Sayid was on Oceanic Flight 815 and Kate gets the shaft yet again in another bad flashback. At least it’s better than “Whatever The Case May Be.” We’re one episode away from the Season 1 finale, so things are getting cooking as we get closer to the finish line.

From Broadcast Depth Episode 9: ‘…In Translation’ & ‘The Numbers’

From Broadcast Depth

Ah, yes, THE numbers. Hurley’s first flashback episode (finally!) gives us six numbers that dramatically shape the show forever, and add a new segment to the podcast. Without a doubt, is it one of the most crucial (and fun) episodes of the first season. Jin also fills in the blanks of the first flashback episode with Sun and himself, and wouldn’t ya know it? Not all is what it seems! After this week, no episode of From Broadcast Depth will be the same again.

From Broadcast Depth Episode 7: ‘Hearts and Minds’ & ‘Special’

From Broadcast Depth

Four survivors get their first flashback treatment this week! Not all is what it seems when Boone goes to “save” Shannon from an abusive boyfriend in the Outback, nor is all what it seems when he rescues her from a boar attack in the jungle. We discover what led to Michael and Walt reuniting and some of the strange activity that has occurred in Walt’s life, and more on the comic book with the polar bear.

Bring a duvet and pillows because it’s time to discuss a film that even Thor mega-fan, Matt Waters, would describe as dull. Nevertheless, he and Ben Phillips endeavour to get an hour of fun discussion out of it and are helped out tremendously by the famously troubled production history of the film.

This weeks episode answers some questions of a beloved, and not so beloved character. First, we learn about Charlie’s rock star background, his brother, and how he turned into a junkie.

Then, we turn our attention to Sawyer and explore his life as a con man and what childhood event turned him to that choice of “career.” There’s talk about the “Skater” fans and a pretty severe torture scene.
