Lost: Down the Hatch | Season 6 Episode 13: ‘The Last Recruit’ Josh Wigler (@roundhoward) and Mike Bloom (@AMikeBloomType) sit down with the Smoke Monster for a fireside chat all about “The Last Recruit,” the 13th episode of LOST season six. 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 eight sound clips from each episode. • The Others – Josh and Mike answer questions sent their way by listeners 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 rank every episode of LOST, by rating them all on a scale from 0 – 4.2. Josh and Mike offer their individual scores, listeners’ scores will be averaged as a third data point, then the three points combine as the podcast’s official score on each episode.
