• 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.

Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) and Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) have reached the best episode of "LOST," full stop.

In "The Constant," Desmond Hume trips through time on a journey toward his lost love Penny Widmore. It's a mind-bending love story, one that stands the test of time and one that stands out as not just the best episode of "LOST," but one of the best episodes of television, ever. Does it hold up to that billing? Josh and Mike dig into it all.

Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) and Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) are walking on eggshells as they discuss the first ever Kate Austen flash-forward episode.

In the strangely named "Eggtown," Kate explores the Barracks for answers about her past, and in the future, she's ... well, answering for her past. Meanwhile, John Locke struggles with leadership, as well as with breakfast. All the while, all the way back at the beach, Jack and Juliet learn things with the freighters are not all as they seem.

Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) and Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) head back to the future with Sayid Jarrah and his spectacular assassin hairstyle.

In "The Economist," Sayid executes two different missions: securing rescue on the island, and enacting vengeance in the future. Perhaps espresso enthusiasts will come seeking revenge of their own against Sayid, but if they do, they are advised to tread lightly; look no further than that awful golf man for proof of Sayid's prowess.
