The Hatch: A Lost Podcast

Welcome to Season 2 of The Hatch, in which we finally enter the hatch! We return to our original position on Jack, become fascinated with what exactly Locke's faith looks like, and discuss various theories of Desmond, one of our all-time favorite characters. The best part? Sammy interviews Henry Ian Cusick, who brought Desmond to life on screen. We're on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast.

Jack is back in a big way this week. We talk about Jack's relationship with Christian, his ongoing conflict with John Locke, and whether he should've just let Michael leave. We also hear more from Jonathan Gray, genuine "Lost" scholar, who is currently looking into what makes people hate the things they hate on television. Relatedly, he shares his thoughts on Lost's finale. Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast, and at Facebook.com/TheHatchPodcast. Leave us your hot take by phone at +1 954-6-DHARMA.

We finally find out What Kate Did, and naturally, are much more interested in why she did it. Kate and Jack kiss. Kate and Sawyer... well. We also talk once more with Leonard Dick, who offers insights about how Season 2's broad arcs came to be. Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast, and at Facebook.com/TheHatchPodcast.

It all comes crashing down for "Henry Gale" in the final moments of this week's episode, despite his efforts to earn Locke's trust. In flashback, we cringe as a much sadder version of Locke tries to win his father's approval once again. (Helen is not sympathetic.) Our guest is film and media studies professor Jason Mittell, who studied how fans responded to the blast door map and has written extensively about what makes "Lost" so great.

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.
