"If you have not yet allowed the brilliance of "The Gang Buries Nikki and Paolo Alive" into your heart, then there's nothing I will be able to say to convince you otherwise. Okay, maybe two words: 'Razzle dazzle.'" — The Hollywood Reporter, Sept. 20, 2019 This week, we have a ridiculous amount of fun discussing Expose, which has aged brilliantly, according to 100% of our listeners who called in with hot takes. We're also joined by Ivan Askwith, a TV producer and "fan whisperer" who has written about Lost's relationship to its fans.

A lot happens in this episode: Locke blows up the submarine when Juliet and Jack are SO close to getting off the island. John and Ben have more incredible repartee.

This may be "the last sitcom-style episode" of LOST, but we are surprisingly unhappy with ... Hurley's parents? At least there are some great Sawyer lines.
