Sun and Jin are meant to be together in every lifetime, but maybe it's meant to be full of near-insurmountable obstacles.

We dig into "Ab Aeterno," the cinematic journey into Richard Alpert's century-and-a-half-long life, with actor Néstor Carbonell — and explore the possibility that the Island is, in fact, a kind of hell.

Sawyer has come a long way since Season 1, even if he's not yet the (mostly) thoughtful man we see in this week's (delicious) flash sideways. We compare his double-crossing ways to Ben Linus — and continue our conversation with the actor who brought Ben to life, Michael Emerson.

We talk "Dr. Linus" with Benjamin Linus himself, the great Michael Emerson. He tells us why he thinks Ben was a good-hearted person deep down all along, and why power was never right for him. We lament the corrupting influence of the Island — or maybe just Jacob. Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast and at Facebook.com/TheHatchPodcast. Leave us your hot take at +1 954-6-DHARMA.

Director Bobby Roth walks us through Sundown, from the Sayid-Dogen fight sequence to the crowded final scene. Sayid is still in love with Nadia in the flash sideways and it breaks our hearts.

Jack works out some of his father-son issues in the afterlife, which is deeply moving. On the Island, though, he still has some things to work out.
