LOST: Down the Hatch | Season 3, Episode 2: “The Glass Ballerina”

Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) and Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) are going to need you to bring them that boat.

Josh and Mike knock over “The Glass Ballerina,” the second episode of season three — an episode that might be altogether forgotten if not for a few truly tremendous scenes. Do those scenes help elevate an episode that’s otherwise spinning its wheels (or spinning its sails; clearly no one here knows how boats work)? Find out in the podcast!

Josh and Mike Bloom will return for “Further Instructions” on August 8, 2020.

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: [email protected].

* 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.

Schedule for the next few weeks:

* Further Instructions feedback due 8/6, podcast drops 8/8

* Every Man For Himself feedback due 8/9, podcast drops 8/12

* One Year Anniversary feedback due 8/10, podcast drops 8/15
