We can hardly believe we've reached the end of Season 3. As we watch the action-packed season finale, we talk about Charlie's battle against fate, Jack's transformation into a highly effective leader, Ben's continued spiral as his power wanes, and how Hurley delightfully saves the day. Plus, the final part of our conversation with Nestor Carbonell, who played Richard Alpert. We'll be back soon with Season 4!  Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast and at facebook.com/thehatchpodcast.

Charlie's swan song remains an emotional, tough episode — even though he's still alive at the end of it! We agree that Jack's plan is a good one and are grateful that Sayid is around to help it happen. Ben takes a series of ever-darker turns. We also return to our conversation with Nestor Carbonell, who introduces us to the lovely concept of "soul groups." Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast and at facebook.com/thehatchpodcast.

We learn so much about Ben this week: He wasn't really born on the Island, his leadership of the Others is more precarious than we thought, and he's been lying about his relationship with Jacob — a lie that Locke calls him on to dramatic effect. Our guest is the episode's director, Bobby Roth. He tells us about filming the Jacob's cabin scene, casting Sterling Beaumon as young Ben and his conversations with Damon and Carlton.

Why can't John Locke kill Anthony Cooper? Why does Ben try to make him? What makes Sawyer able to commit this murder, and what impact does it have on him? Why has Jack seemingly abdicated his leadership role on the beach? We get into all of it. And Nestor Carbonell, who played Richard Alpert, returns to The Hatch to talk about Richard's motivations and how he approached the character's eternal youth.  Find us on Twitter at @TheHatchPodcast and at facebook.com/thehatchpodcast.

The maniacal Mikhail Bakunin returns in this week's episode, so we bring back actor Andrew Divoff one last time. We also lament the seemingly never-ending series of cruel ironies that defines Sun and Jin's relationship, while trying to appreciate how badass they both can be.

Remember when Desmond got fired from being a monk? We find out how he met Penny, dive deep into how his prophetic flashes might work, and wonder what might have happened if that arrow had, in fact, hit Charlie. We've also got the final portion of our conversation with "fan whisperer" Ivan Askwith, exploring "The Lost Experience" and why it's so fun to be a fan.  Find us on Twitter at @TheHatchPodcast and at facebook.com/thehatchpodcast.

Eventually we'll learn to love Ben, but in this episode his intensely personal cruelty to Juliet is hard to take. At least Jack trusts her and is trying to help her (although maybe he shouldn't be). We also revisit LOST's alternate reality game, "The Lost Experience," with TV producer Ivan Askwith. Find us on Twitter at @TheHatchPodcast and at facebook.com/thehatchpodcast.

We love the Kate and Juliet scenes in this episode, and also the Kate and Cassidy scenes in the flashback — but do they pass the Bechdel test? Plus we've got more from TV producer and "fan whisperer" Ivan Askwith, who helps us try to figure out if Damon and Carlton could have given "Lost" a non-controversial ending.
