  • Episode 19: How Michael Got a Boat (S2E24 "Live Together, Die Alone Part 2")

    In what felt like a really long episode (partly because we watched both in the same sitting), we find out what it takes to blow up a bunker station, dabble in Egyptian hieroglyphs, ponder how deep Locke's crisis of faith goes, and guess whether or not the Others could put on a production of Fiddler on the Roof with their current costumes (or at least, Danielle guesses). Also, Michael obtains a boat. 


    Episode beverage: still the unlabeled barrel aged stout in a crowler from the previous episode because we watched both in the same sitting. 

    1 hr 14 min
  • Episode 18: How Desmond Got a Boat (S2E23 "Live Together, Die Alone Part 1")

    I naively thought we could do a two parter in one episode, but nope, two parter podcast episodes it is. In the season 2 finale, someone just had a funeral, Desmond shows back up and we discover why he's so into sailing. Locke has a crisis of faith. Also: doors? 


    Episode beverage: Caffeinated mint gum because Danielle was sleepy, and a mystery barrel-aged stout from a crowler, "BAM" from Les Caves.

  • Episode 17: International Adoptions and Polar Bears! (S1E14 "Special")

    In our first Michael and Walt episode, we try to figure out just what the hell was going on with Walt's convoluted multi-national upbringing.   Also someone is chased by a real live polar bear!  Or is it all in Walt's Mind? Did Walt create the monster all along!?

    Episode Beverage: Port Barrel Aged Scotch Silly 2013 by Brasserie De Silly

    1 hr 22 min
  • Episode 16: Mecha Jurassic Park (S1E01 "Pilot Part 1")
    Oh hey, it's the pilot. And, there's also a pilot! (Briefly). It's the first episode of LOST ever, so time is spent sketching our heroes' personalities, and I [Danielle] am dumbfounded that the Locke-orange-smile gif is somehow, not an edit.
    also this isn't just a castaway narrative- there is something BIG and SPOOKY and ODDLY MECHANICAL SOUNDING stalking the island! What do context clues tell us?? Also, is there evidence for Jack being drugged???
    Episode beverage: Vanilla Toddy by Plum Deluxe (December's tea club selection)
    1 hr 3 min
  • Episode 15: Time is Weird and No One is Rescued (S4E01 "The Beginning of the End")
    In the season 4 opener, the weird timeline from our episode 11 (S4E10 "Something Nice Back Home") makes a tiny bit more sense, sort of, as we see why Hurly is institutionalized in the flash...somethings. I speculate as to whether or not the island is sentient and is creating hallucinations to draw the "Oceanic Six" back in. Also in the island plot people try to leave but apparently a character is dead and I am distraught and ugh
    None of y'all are being rescued today calm down
    Anyway this was a very dense episode and it took a while to parse.
    Episode beverages: Firestone Walker Agrestic, 2015, Brasserie Trois Dames' Handle in Hand (barrel aged sour red with sage), and Evil Twin Brewing's Imperial Biscotti Chili Hazelnut Break
    it was a long, dense episode okay
    1 hr 14 min
  • Episode 14: Hoarding Resources is Bad (S2E04 "Everybody Hates Hugo")
    It's our first Hugo/Hurly backstory episode! Hoarding resources makes the gatekeeper seem like a bad person, and Hurly wants to avoid that based on past experiences. Rose is the best (and not your mammy), and
    oh god
    what if
    what if the numbers are because the island is sentient this is really dumb aaaaaaaah
    Episode beverage: Block 15's The Prophecies (2015 vintage)
    48 min
  • Episode 13: Love Dodechahedron (S4E06 "The Other Woman")
    It's another Juliet episode, and at this point Syl thinks we've seen most of the Juliet episode (thanks, RNG). Turns out the Other camp also has love triangles, according to the flashbacks. On contemporary island time, Daniel and Charlotte have disappeared from the beach and beach crew thinks they are Up to Something. For some reason, Locke and others have occupied Other Village and Ben/Henry reveals they have a common enemy: Charles Widmore aka the Man Who Owns the Boat.

  • Episode 12: Hostiles, Forgiveness, and Ping Pong ("S3E11 "Enter 77")
    After a week off for Thanksgiving, we're back in your feeds with what was honestly a jumbled episode, thus the longer run time. The A plot is jungle hiking team coming across Mikhail's station, and deciding what to do with him/which faction he's with/what codes on the computer mean. The flashbacks belong to Sayid, digging further into his past and taking a prescient move for 2007 in acknowledging wrongdoing while apologizing- a lesson current #MeToo perpetrators could follow. The B plot, which apparently is the only thing Syl remembers, is Sawyer making a bet on ping pong. I can no longer use my name in descriptions as it's revealed that Rousseau is also named Danielle!
    Episode beverage: Sierra Nevada's Trip In The Woods: Ginger Bigfoot
    1 hr 2 min
  • Episode 11: Time, Trust Issues, and Visions of Dead People (S4E10 "Something Nice Back Home")
    It's Danielle's first season 4 episode and uh, things are confusing. On the island, Jack apparently has appendicitis so newcomers Dan and Charlotte (who Danielle's only seen previously in the S5 episode "Jughead") try to gain beach crew's trust by traveling with Jin and Sun for supplies. While traveling with Claire, Aaron, and Sawyer, Miles gets weird visions of dead people.
    Meanwhile, we seemingly have flashforwards again... or is it an alternative timeline? Hurly declares something that puts Danielle in a tailspin which is why this episode is our longest yet. :S
    Episode beverages: Russian River's Supplication 2016 and Temptation 2014
    1 hr 3 min
  • Episode 10: JUST PUSH THE BUTTON. (S2E03 "Orientation")
    After a stand off, the issue of the episode becomes clear: a code needs to be entered and a button pushed to stop a ticking clock. What happens when the timer hits zero? Jack is skeptical, and I (Danielle) don't know which side Desmond is on either. Another Expanse actor makes a brief appearance. Meanwhile, the flashbacks dig into Locke's daddy issues, and elsewhere on the island Sawyer gets played in a pit.
    Also, I guess there's some numbers I need to keep track of now.
    Episode beverage: a ginger citrus green tea (likely from Oregon Tea & Coffee)
