LOST: Down the Hatch | Season 2, Episode 20: “Two for the Road”

LOST: Down the Hatch | Season 2, Episode 20: “Two for the Road” Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) and Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) are pouring one out for two tailies, caught in the crossfire of a very bad decision. In their discussion of “Two for the Road,” Josh and Mike look back on one of the most shocking twist endings of the series to date: Michael shooting Ana-Lucia, Libby and himself in an effort to rescue his son from the Others. It’s a powerhouse ending, but what about the rest of the episode? Does it hold up nearly as well? Josh and Mike dig in to that question and much more. About Down the Hatch …LOST: Down the Hatch is a full-tilt spoiler-filled rewatch of LOST.
