LOST: Down the Hatch | Season 2, Episode 15: “Maternity Leave”

LOST: Down the Hatch | Season 2, Episode 15: “Maternity Leave” Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) and Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) take on “Maternity Leave,” but only in the LOST sense. In their discussion of “Maternity Leave,” Josh and Mike break down the second-ever episode of LOST to take place entirely on the island — even if it’s not quite as successful as “The Other 48 Days,” in their humble opinion. With that said, Josh and Mike are all in on Henry Gale’s latest antics, Mr. Eko’s newest fashion decision, and a whole lot about the trip to The Staff. About Down the Hatch …LOST: Down the Hatch is a full-tilt spoiler-filled rewatch of LOST. Every week, Josh and Mike break down an episode of LOST with the benefit of knowing the series’ full trajectory, using the following structure as a guide: We Go “Fourth” – Josh and Mike begin each podcast with a deep-dive into the story both in front of and behind the camera, and they do so with the assistance of… 8 Sounds – The events of LOST pop right off the camera and straight into your ears with eight memorable moments replayed on the podcast, helping us guide through the story; 15/16 Others – Josh and Mike answer questions and comments sent their way through the official e-mail address: [email protected] 23 Points – Each week, Josh and Mike hand out points for the best and worst characters of the episode in question, in a foolhardy attempt to determine the most and least valuable players in the LOST pantheon. 4.2 Stars – Josh and Mike will attempt to create an official Down the Hatch ranking of every episode of LOST, by rating them all on a scale from 0 – 4.2. Josh and Mike will offer their individual scores, listeners’ scores will be averaged as a third data point, then the three points will be combined for the podcast’s official score on each episode. Each episode of Down the Hatch clocks in at no less than 108 minutes. If the podcast falls short of that runtime, Josh and Mike have triggered a crisis! Consequences may (and almost certainly will) ensue thanks to the Frozen Donkey Wheel.
