New episode out now! We head to the Island and watch the infamous season three episode of LOST titled “Exposé”, aka the Nikki-and-Paulo episode. We cover the controversial episode’s place within the mythos of the show, argue about whether the investigative characters actually solve anything or just noticed anomalies, revisit the structure of the show as a whole, debate multiple character motivations, and discuss the idea that anyone can be a main character if we spend enough time with them. We also dig deep into our reminiscence about watching the pilot live, learn what it’s like to have older sisters freak out about television, and are grateful we no longer have to call dibs on the TV. Katy brings up the writers strike again, Carrie was flabbergasted no one else knew about important spider facts, Maddy quotes Britannica.com, and Mack shares a platonic fantasy. We also reiterate that you should always listen to dogs, list a myriad of potential dangers on the Island, talk about ungulates, and get annoyed that the characters weren’t dirtier. There are full series spoilers so beware! (We would also like to encourage you to watch The Last of Sheila (1973) which is scheduled to be our next episode; we will be spoiling it and it is a good movie to watch without knowing anything beforehand - trust us!)
