Introduction to Lost with My Uncle Podcast
00:00:21
Speaker
Terrific. You're listening to the Lost with My Uncle podcast. I'm Aaron DS and I'll be rewatching Lost along with my nephew Nick who will be watching it for the very first time.
00:00:37
Speaker
So come along with us and enjoy the journey.
00:00:42
Speaker
Let's get lost. Let's get lost.
Return from Hiatus and Season 1 Recap Plans
00:00:50
Speaker
Hello and welcome back to the Lost with My Uncle podcast. I'm Aaron DS. And man, we are so excited to be back with you tonight. We've had a slight hiatus as we have finished up season one.
00:01:05
Speaker
Nick and can I have taken a few weeks off and... Really been thinking about the season. I know Nick has been reflecting on it. Also probably sitting over there somewhat hating me for the delay and starting season two, just because he's probably rarer to go there.
00:01:23
Speaker
But tonight we are going to do a season one recap before we get into our next season. We're going to break this out into essentially three different portions We'll start with an overall season one recap.
00:01:37
Speaker
I want to check in with you, Nick, just kind of see where you've landed thought-wise on season one after having a few weeks to reflect on it, think back over episodes, you know, if you have any additional theories that have come to mind or if you want to talk about unanswered questions and things like that, we'll have some time to do that tonight.
00:01:56
Speaker
yeah Then we're going to get into something, listeners, that is going to be super fun.
Ranking Season 1 Episodes
00:02:01
Speaker
As Nick and I have talked about before, we both love ranking things. I think that's one of my...
00:02:07
Speaker
Great Joys in Life is is ranking everything, whether it's food, TV shows, theme park rides, whatever it might be. And so we're going to spend some time ranking our episodes for season one.
00:02:19
Speaker
So we're going to talk about our bottom five episodes. We'll talk about the ones that didn't resonate as much with us and some of the reasons why. We'll also spend some time just kind of talking about the middle episodes.
00:02:30
Speaker
And then we're going to talk through our top 10 episodes of the season because there's so many good episodes in season one. and just want to make sure we have enough time to discuss. And then we have a real treat at the end of the episode where Nick has gone back and sort of tallied up the most loved, most hated segment.
00:02:50
Speaker
and how many times characters appeared in his most loved and most hated, and just an overall score for his most loved and most hated for the season. So I can't wait to hear about that, Nick.
00:03:01
Speaker
And curious, before we jump into the different segments tonight, how are you feeling after the the long hiatus? And, you know, I know that it's been a minute, but hope you're feeling refreshed and good to be back on here with you.
00:03:17
Speaker
i ah you know what, i I was sitting here and I was like, do I even remember ah a how to open up the software? do I even remember how to set it up?
00:03:29
Speaker
Right. It's been a while. Has it two months? Yeah, it's been two months since we recorded our last episode. Obviously, we had a bit of a backlog and we're releasing episodes later.
00:03:44
Speaker
But yeah, i think end of March would have been the last time we actually recorded. So yeah, it's been a minute. Yeah, that's insane. it is. I've been enjoying my time.
Hiatus Reflections and Future Podcast Plans
00:03:54
Speaker
I've been reflecting a lot.
00:03:56
Speaker
I'd probably say like once a week, I would go back and I would i would look at this this list I have up here of all my episodes and really think back like, wow, yeah like these these this is what I've been doing for the past however many months. And it's been an amazing experience. So I can't wait to get further with you.
00:04:18
Speaker
Absolutely awesome. Yeah, i love I love that that's what you were doing. I have been... Going down all kinds of rabbit holes, which I shared with you, I discovered a few Lost Rewatch YouTube channels. They're actually not even just Rewatch, but people actually experiencing Lost for the first time and doing live reactions. And so that's been a lot of fun as well, just to kind of see it through the lens of other people as they experience it for the first time. Similarly to what we're doing here on this podcast.
00:04:50
Speaker
mean it's it's I mean, you've been talking about that for also months. I have. is how much you've been like Like while we were recording the show, you were like, oh yeah, you gotta check out such and such and such and such and such and such.
00:05:05
Speaker
I know. You told me you watched all of it. Yeah, i'm assuming you haven't checked out such and such and such and such yet, right? I have not ended up checking out such and such and such and such, unfortunately.
00:05:17
Speaker
That's all right. That's all right. Summer break is is not too far around the corner, so maybe you'll need some activities to do during the summer. This is true.
00:05:27
Speaker
But we're going to keep you busy podcasting this summer also, you know, starting college in the fall, and and we've at least got to get through season two for our listeners, and then we can regroup on timing of season three and what that looks like.
00:05:39
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah.
00:05:42
Speaker
Awesome. Well, I am so excited about this recap episode, and listeners, we're thrilled to have you. If you want to send us any comments or feedback, you can email us. Lostwithmyunclepod at gmail.com. Again, that's lostwithmyunclepod at gmail.com.
00:06:00
Speaker
So without further ado, let's get lost. Let's do it. All right, Nick. So this part's going to be very conversational.
Nick's Reflections on Season 1
00:06:10
Speaker
you know We're kind of going off script tonight.
00:06:12
Speaker
But just want to chat with you after you've had some time to reflect and and just talk through season one. You know, how are you feeling about season one as a whole? You know, obviously, we're going to get into like the characters and the episodes themselves here in a few minutes. But did it meet your expectations?
00:06:32
Speaker
You know, talk through some of those things and just what you're feeling right now as you reflect back on season one. I think it and exceeded my expectations. Nice.
00:06:44
Speaker
This is one season of a show, and I would probably put it, i can't say I would put it my top three yet but that's because I've just I've watched you know I've watched one season and so far you know and obviously you have comfort shows and stuff like that but already after one season I can confidently I can confidently say it's in the top 10 it's possibly in my top five so I have to think and i I like again i think I have to just if I watch the show more I'm just gonna love it even even even more and even more
00:07:20
Speaker
And I love how many questions this show gets you to ask. I think that's that's not something that a lot of shows... can do, like usually you can ask them at the end of a season, right? Where you're like, oh, like what's going to happen in this next season?
00:07:40
Speaker
But this is quite literally like, wow, what's going to happen in the next episode? I have no idea. There's so much unpredictable, there are so many unpredictable elements that it becomes like a new experience every different episode that you watch.
00:08:00
Speaker
And also just the character arcs of every single character, if that's from good to bad or bad to good, either way... just watching these characters change into different people, it's been done phenomenally.
00:08:15
Speaker
Like, ah the writers have done amazing with this entire show, from the cinematography to the actor choice to the actors themselves to the character building to the, you know, story.
00:08:31
Speaker
Almost, if if I can say, it's almost like playing reverse Jenga, if that makes sense. Mm-hmm. It does, yeah. where you're Where you're building in parts of this story, but you're not getting the full chunk. Like, you know they're usually separated in three? You're not getting the full chunk. You're getting, like, one or maybe two.
00:08:51
Speaker
And then that third chunk is just there. And then you ask that, you know, that question, like, oh, or um I mean wonder where that third chunk is there. And you find out, like...
00:09:03
Speaker
oh, this third chunk is actually Sawyer's grandma. I don't know. I'm just making stuff up. But like, you know, crazy stories that you wouldn't have ever thought of. And also it just allows for the series to build.
00:09:20
Speaker
yeah I can't imagine what it was like for trying to predict what was going to happen next in the show when it was coming out. Oh, man. Yeah. It was a wild experience. and And like I've alluded to before and probably talked a little bit about on the podcast here, especially in our pilot episode, it was such a communal experience where you you found your group of people that were interested in Lost and and wanted to experience it in the same way that you were. And I remember even at work, I had a group of people at work that watched it and
00:09:57
Speaker
you know I wasn't watching it, the actual episode, with those people, but I'd go into work and we would talk about it all day in the week leading up to the next episode.
00:10:09
Speaker
And you had all of these online threads that different websites started or people started. where it was all about theories. And it got pretty crazy. Like if you watch the ah lost documentary that just came out, once we get through this whole experience and you watch all the seasons and stuff, you know, they interview a few podcasters and things. And and there were some podcasters that literally went on site in Hawaii and we're, we're going up to the set and constantly like crazy the actors and, and that's the way it was in a lot of those threads. Also, you would have people that did that almost like, you know, paparazzi type of people,
00:10:51
Speaker
And they were they were snapping photos of who was on set for the next episode and, you know, tossing out theories based on that and how the different scenes that they were seeing them film. And yeah, it was it was crazy. Like, yeah it was like nothing else I've ever experienced as far as consuming a piece of TV or or media.
00:11:13
Speaker
Yeah. Wonderful. But it's it's fun to watch it the way you are as well. And again, I'm i'm super proud of you for your patience and you know not trying to track down any information in between episodes. like I think that's very commendable.
00:11:31
Speaker
I think that adds to it. i think that I think that's part. I think this whole podcast is making me like the show better than I probably would have put it in the first place.
00:11:46
Speaker
Oh, I can see that. Yeah. Like, just because I'm going to associate the show with this, and this is fantastic. So the show is fantastic.
00:11:57
Speaker
you know Yeah, absolutely. This has been such an awesome experience and just so excited to have the opportunity to do this together.
Character Development Insights
00:12:06
Speaker
Yeah.
00:12:09
Speaker
So you talked to character arcs. Let's plan our flag there for a minute and just chat through that a little more. All right. Well, let's approach it from a couple of different angles. Who is a character that you feel like started off and, you know, maybe wasn't one of your favorite characters or you've just seen a lot of growth in that character throughout the season? i And I think I have a pretty good guess as to where you might go with the season.
00:12:38
Speaker
I mean, there's two characters really that come to mind and they are Sawyer and Jin. Mm-hmm. By the finale, I loved them. Like legitimately, ah they were they were both in my top three for the final episode. I think Jen Jen was my favorite for Exodus three or for the five, the finale, because we grouped it all. They group they would group them all as one.
00:13:01
Speaker
Jen was my favorite. And Sawyer was my third place spot. So, speaking of character arcs, I mean, I love those two. I love those two. I think I heavily disliked both of them in the beginning, and both of them have just given me more and more reasons to take it back.
00:13:23
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, specifically Sawyer too. ah The more you find, you know, Sawyer's character, the like you the the less reserved he kind becomes to the um the Watcher's mind and the more open he is, the more you realize that I mean, I don't think he was ever a necessarily bad character.
00:13:46
Speaker
i think it's kind of just our eyes got opened a little bit more as the show progressed.
00:13:52
Speaker
Meanwhile, there was also character growth. I think um definitely at the start, they paint him as this bad dude. And then by the end, he's no longer this character. I think if I had to say legitimate character growth,
00:14:12
Speaker
right Not just based off of how the show portrays it. um I'd probably say Jin probably gets that even better. Yeah, I think that's totally fair. i love both of those choices. Because, yeah, you're right. Sawyer was sort of painted as a villain from episode one, essentially. Right.
00:14:34
Speaker
Or, you know, i remember you making a comment early on in one of the episodes about this guy that was, you know... brooding over there looking at that yeah paper and yeah, smoke a cigarette and and nobody liked them. And, but yeah, he was always funny. He was always a funny character, but then he really, he really grew throughout the season. And I think definitely developed and, and once you see his backstory and realize why he is how he is, it's just so powerful. Right. Yeah.
00:15:09
Speaker
But I agree on Jyn also. I think that you know from a from just a character arc perspective and not necessarily how the producers painted it, I think that Jyn probably had the the greatest character arc there.
00:15:23
Speaker
Yeah. So then on the reverse side of that, who's a character that maybe started off promising for you,
00:15:35
Speaker
but You didn't really like the direction that the writers took that character or kind of had a reverse character arc, I guess you could say, went the other way. There's two that come to mind.
00:15:47
Speaker
and i don't think you'll be happy about either one of them. Uh-oh. My first one is Kate. Kate, yeah. And I don't think there's anything wrong with Kate.
00:15:58
Speaker
I just, I had really high hopes for Kate after the first three episodes. And then I felt like she kind of became, like she she wasn't a main character, but she wasn't a side character either.
00:16:11
Speaker
You know? Like she was just in this, she was in this realm between the two. And sometimes she would have like some really pivotal moments. And then sometimes she just wouldn't exist and she'd be kind of useless.
00:16:22
Speaker
And I hate how the writers did that because i would repeat even if it's in a bad Even if it's in a bad light, I would still want at least more screen time and at least more presence.
00:16:37
Speaker
Yeah. I also think that in a lot of scenarios where they tried to write Kate as this... um when they The way that they did end up writing Kate's character...
00:16:50
Speaker
it just led to a lot of, like, at the beginning, like, she's as she seems like, she gets this whole criminal, like, the the big reveal by the at the end of pilot that she's the criminal, right?
00:17:00
Speaker
Mm-hmm. And we get this whole thing. And then tabula rasa, and it's like, wow, there's the sheriff, like, you know, there's all this stuff going on. Yeah. And then, just like that, it's over.
00:17:14
Speaker
You know, like, like right I feel like we got nothing on it. really income And I feel like that's my one problem with the show. if I had to say like one thing, is I feel like they'll introduce an idea, and then once they've introduced this idea, it's not like they forget about it, but It goes unnoticed for a really long time.
00:17:38
Speaker
ah really a good example of that is the hatch. I was so mad about the hatch. Oh my goodness. How they teased it. How they teased it in... What what was it what was it? Back in episode 10. Yeah.
00:17:50
Speaker
episode episode ten yeah right And then we didn't actually get anything else until like episode 17. seventeen So it's it's like we had to like wait this like whole long time for um for that to happen. And when in reality, we really didn't need that. And i think that's also what happened with Kate. is We got all this Kate, all this Kate, and I was loving the direction it was going.
00:18:23
Speaker
And then we kind of got none of it. And when we did get Kate, I feel like she was very, um like, she was in a lot of different places. Like, I think about how she was, like, she was she would be really great.
00:18:38
Speaker
For example, Outlaws. She was fantastic in Outlaws. I loved her character in Outlaws. Yeah. But then, like, the moth, right? And that's, like, a little earlier, but still. Then you have the moth, and she was just so unbelievably annoying and out of character in that episode.
00:18:54
Speaker
And then my other character that I think that they kind of botched and went in the opposite, not botched, but at least went in the opposite way, is Charlie. Yeah.
00:19:05
Speaker
And I've talked about this so much, and I'll talk about it a little bit more when we get to the characters and my rankings. The Moth was such a powerful episode. It was. Such a powerful episode. I love that episode so much.
00:19:19
Speaker
was such a yeah good episode. There was so much growth for Charlie in that episode. And it was it was such a... It showed a more serious side to Charlie that we hadn't seen before because he's kind of just like, oh, I'm the jokester Charlie. Right?
00:19:33
Speaker
So it's a more serious side that we see to Charlie. And it's amazing to see the serious side. It's it's insanely cool to see this side of him that's struggling but is persevering.
00:19:45
Speaker
Then... They theytro introduce, like, we show we see how this this character is growing and growing and growing and is maturing. And then, like, he's even talking to Claire and he's he's being great with Claire. He's being great with Claire.
00:20:00
Speaker
And then you get to, I think, home Homecoming is the episode yeah where he just is acting so immature. Like, he's he's acting like he's five. Like, he's he's acting out on his emotions, like, and like an incredibly impulsive and, like, lashing out. And, I mean, like, props to the actor for actually being able to this so well.
00:20:25
Speaker
And to be honest, being impulsive and emotional is something that, ah you know, someone would be doing at a time like this. But... sure I feel like after someone who had all this growth and all this maturity, it it just kind of gets squashed and squandered.
00:20:39
Speaker
And especially towards, I don't, I'm pretty sure it's Exodus where he takes the heroine Yeah, yeah, he's following Saeed around and and they come across him. Yeah, right, right, right.
00:20:56
Speaker
And just that, and like, i yeah, of course, addiction is really hard. and We're not going to sit here and say it's not. But it makes the moth feel entirely useless.
00:21:07
Speaker
Why have him go through this stage of maturing and getting off of the drugs and... if he's just going to be immature later in the show and he's just going to get back on the drugs, what's the point? Unless you plan to do it again and have like another moth type episode, right which if that happens, I feel like i I'd be like upset because then that makes the moth even less impactful, you know, because they're just doing it again.
00:21:35
Speaker
i completely hear you. I hear where you're coming from. Again, i wouldn't I wouldn't assume that just because he picked up a bag of drugs that he's actually going to take them again. Naturally, that's where your mind goes.
00:21:48
Speaker
And I think that's what they want you to believe. But we'll find out, right? So let's give him the benefit of the doubt a little bit. But I hear what you're saying about his his character arc definitely went from...
00:22:01
Speaker
I mean, in the pilot episode, I know he was in my most loved for the the two-part pilot. Yeah, he was great in the pilots. Yeah. he was all he had ah He had the two closing one-liners, which were phenomenal.
00:22:13
Speaker
And, you know, for each hour, for each pilot, he had the ah closing line. And the last one, I think, was, guys, where are we? Yeah. Yeah. And I love the actor. He, he also played one of the hobbits in the Lord of the Rings.
00:22:27
Speaker
Yeah. He's fantastic. Dominic Monaghan is, is fantastic. Yeah.
00:22:33
Speaker
And again, I would say, i would say by the end of season one, yeah, he's not, he's not a very loved character, but my hope is that he can have a comeback at some point, but we'll find out. Yeah. Yeah.
00:22:51
Speaker
Awesome. For me, there was one character that... I don't want to say that they completely you know fizzled out, had a strong start and fizzled out, but there was one character that I thought could have been more than they were, and that was Boone.
00:23:08
Speaker
Yeah, 100% agree with that. Yeah, I think Boone had a lot of potential. like He definitely had the desire to help people. He was always trying to help people.
00:23:19
Speaker
But then he just went through that period, you know, that episode, I think it was White Rabbit, where he tried to save the drowning woman and Jack ended having save him. And then he's going off on Jack and then there's the whole Shannon weird sister romance thing, you know, and and that whole piece. Obviously, he did redeem himself a little bit because he was in the plane trying to help them with the radio when when it crashed and he was fatally injured.
00:23:45
Speaker
right yeah I think he was a character that definitely had more potential and just kind of fizzled out a little bit. Yeah, I couldn't completely agree. What about theories and and things like that? Have you had a chance to think any more about any of those? Is there anything that stuck out to you as you've reflected on season one or other things that you wanted to chat through on theories or unanswered questions?
Season 1 Finale and Favorite Episodes
00:24:09
Speaker
I mean, I don't know. I haven't thought of anything new. I think the way that Exodus ended was kind of a perfect way to end the season answering enough questions while also imposing new questions to ask new theories while also not answering everything from before they have something to pull back from and season two.
00:24:38
Speaker
I think that's literally the definition of perfect ah with how they wanted to do that. I have nothing new. I think I covered everything in our finale, all my theories that I had and anything that I was curious about. Nothing has at least come back up with me that I've thought of. yeah Awesome. That works.
00:25:00
Speaker
Well, with that said, then I think we'll jump into our fun little ranking segment here. and again, listeners, we're going to essentially I'm going to start off with Nick going first.
00:25:12
Speaker
He's going to you know give us his bottom five, however you want to do that. Nick is fine. All right. And then we'll get we'll get into your top 10, but also want to just maybe kind of talk about some of the middle episodes. So let's maybe do bottom five, then top 10. And then we'll talk about the ones in the middle and you know Where we ranked some of those and why they didn't quite make it in either direction.
00:25:35
Speaker
Yeah, so I have them ranked 1 through 25. Exodus 1, 2, and 3, each as their own ranking. so And then in addition to 1 through 25, I give them a score ah whatever out of 10.
00:25:49
Speaker
So my lowest ranking was a 5 out of 10. I wow could not give anything lower than a 5 out of 10. um Okay. Everything in this show is amazing. I want to start with that.
00:26:02
Speaker
Everything in this show is fantastic. These are just my personal bottom five. Starting off in the 25th spot is Tabula Rasa. Wow, okay. I know we were just talking about it.
00:26:14
Speaker
It was a fantastic third episode. It was fantastic. it was It was a really good segue into the show. Unfortunately, it doesn't stick with you when you've gotten to some of these other episodes.
00:26:28
Speaker
And there's just, you know, it's like there's there's so many good storylines and there's so many... like impactful things going on later in the season that it's really hard to put up with. Like it's not the very beginning because those are the pilots and obviously they get, they get a little bit of brownie points just for being the pilots, right?
00:26:48
Speaker
This kind of doesn't get that grace. I think it doesn't stack up against other things. And that's why I just had to put it so low. And I feel like it's also unfortunately kind of forgettable Yeah.
00:27:03
Speaker
Once you get further in. um It's interesting. So you ranked that a 5.0. Is that what you said? Mm hmm. Wow. That's interesting. My lowest ranking was I'm not going to talk the episode yet because I don't want to spoil my my bottom five. But right.
00:27:18
Speaker
My lowest ranking was a 7.0. Wow. OK. Yeah. I was I was a little more i was a little more um like spaced out, I think. No, that's OK. In terms of numbers. so And I am a little higher on Tabula Rasa than you are. it doesn't make it in my bottom five or my top 10.
00:27:37
Speaker
It's yeah kind of towards the bottom of my middle section. But I did give it an 8.4. Wow. wow Yeah, i for whatever reason, i I think it's probably just because of the... To use a term that I talk about in when it comes to reading books all the time, I think the world building is really good in Tabula Rasa.
00:27:59
Speaker
And also some of the early glimpses into who the characters are and who they're they're going to be. And even some of the character arcs that are potentially going to happen. I just thought it did a good job of setting all that up.
00:28:14
Speaker
Yeah. I completely agree. In my 24 slot, I have House of the Rising Sun. Okay. With a rating of 5.5.
00:28:27
Speaker
Again, i don't think there's much to talk about. I like this episode. Again, it just doesn't stack up against some of the other ones. i agree. it's It's not as memorable.
00:28:39
Speaker
it's It's a weak episode. Yeah. I still like it more than most TV show episodes that are on most of the time, but i agree. it's It lacks, comparatively speaking, to the other episodes, it just lacks that memorable piece.
00:28:55
Speaker
Right. In my 23 slot, and this is kind of... I honestly was thinking I was going to put it at the very bottom. i have Homecoming with a rating of 6 out of 10.
00:29:09
Speaker
yeah i was so mad that episode. I was so mad. I remember, because i was I had to go listen back to some of the... um the episodes for our our character ranking or character scores or whatever.
00:29:23
Speaker
um And I was, I was so mad that episode. I was so unbelievably mad. Yeah. It was, I was furious. I agree with your assessment and your, your ranking and I'm not too far off from that.
00:29:37
Speaker
I'll go ahead and yeah spoil that one is in my bottom five and it it ranks number 24 for me. So I'm pretty low on it. Yeah. In my 22 slot, an episode I actually really enjoyed. I'm kind of surprised I have it this far down. It's in translation.
00:29:59
Speaker
Okay. at At 6.5 out of 10. Honestly, don't know why I have it that low. ah Yes, I do. Yeah, because that one was during the string of very solid episodes. Yes. It was back-to-back-to-back really good episodes.
00:30:15
Speaker
Yeah, I think the only reason I had it that low is just because everything else that's going on, i feel like it's kind of out of place. I would have expected it because otherwise it's like episode 18 19 in the show.
00:30:33
Speaker
um I would have expected that to be episode... Like, I would have expected that to be, like, episode 10. ah like two or three episodes after a House of the Rising Sun.
00:30:45
Speaker
i feel like they waited too long to give us more Jyn backstory, but this is where his, I think his character arc really takes off. And I i love that for him. I actually really enjoy the episode.
00:30:58
Speaker
i think they're I think it's fantastic. I did this a while ago, so you might have to remind me about this one. In my 21 slot, I have raised by another character. Oh. Which is, I believe that's the Claire episode.
00:31:10
Speaker
It is the Claire episode. Man, I believe that's in your bottom five. i did not like that episode. I know you're a very big fan of that episode. i am. I'm not.
00:31:22
Speaker
I don't like it. I hear you. I enjoy the episode. i think it's a lot of banter. i think it's a lot of like, the psychic's telling me this, the psychic's telling me this.
00:31:35
Speaker
Oh, I don't believe the psychic. Oh, the psychic's telling me this. Oh, I'm sort of believing the psychic. You know? Yeah. And it plays into the bigger story about Oceanic Flight. Or... Eight. Eight.
00:31:48
Speaker
Eight, one, five. Eight, one, five. it's four Why did I think it was only three numbers? Because you're thinking of the numbers. You're thinking 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42.
00:32:01
Speaker
16, 20. I am. oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. I am thinking about the numbers. Oh, that's so bad. Anyway, that is my bottom five raised by another has a 6.5 out of 10 and it's tied with in translation.
00:32:15
Speaker
I might want put in translation a little higher. i don't know why I have it that low. I probably would change my mind depending on the day. I think the day that I made this, I probably just didn't like that episode.
00:32:29
Speaker
And that's the that's the really hard thing about this, right? I was telling you before we pressed record tonight that I went back and forth on these episodes. I ah ranked them, then I re-ranked them, I moved things around on my list.
00:32:43
Speaker
You know, i weighed them against each other. And the other piece that sort of flavors my opinion is I have all six seasons in my purview.
00:32:54
Speaker
and I think it's it's hard because then you start thinking, well, how do these episodes rank against the other episodes from season two, season four, season three, season six, whatever it might be.
00:33:07
Speaker
you know So I think for you, it's it's cool right now because you're you've experienced season one for the first time and you're primarily focusing on that yeah to to flavor your opinions because later it becomes even harder And then the other thing I was going to say about all this, you know it's it's so interesting to to see the differences in rankings.
00:33:30
Speaker
you know like Raised by Another is a good example. I'm a huge fan of that one, and I'll talk a little bit more about it later. and And you're not a fan of it. And I've kind of gone down this rabbit hole recently of going on the TierMaker site and looking at the different lost TierMaker lists that people have.
00:33:48
Speaker
which for me is a fun experience because then I go and I see, well, how did they rank all of the the different seasons and episodes of Lost, cumulatively speaking? And you know where do these episodes rank? And it's always interesting because you have people that, you you know, you can tell which characters they really resonate with by their rankings. And then other characters, the episodes are always towards the bottom.
00:34:09
Speaker
Right. You know, episodes the that I might think are great, somebody else has like towards their bottom and and vice versa. So it's ah it's very interesting. Yeah.
00:34:22
Speaker
Awesome. So those are your bottom five. Those are my bottom five. I'll jump in here and do my bottom five before we kick it over to you for the top 10. So starting for me at number 25, also had a Kate episode. However, I had whatever the case may be.
00:34:39
Speaker
i i had that one ranked at 7.0. So again, there's there's no, for me, there's no episode that I feel wasn't worth my time.
00:34:49
Speaker
But whatever the case may be was definitely the one that felt the most disjointed to me. was just kind of all over the place, and and there were elements of it that could have been cut out, and I would have been fine with it.
00:35:02
Speaker
Yeah. Also, at 7.0, I talked to you about how Homecoming was my number 24, so that one was also 7.0. I'm with you. i do not like that episode, especially and re-watching the flashbacks. It is just...
00:35:16
Speaker
a terrible experience to go through those flashbacks. Terrible. Yeah. it's It's definitely one of the worst character flashback episodes. I think of all six seasons, it's it's just not good.
00:35:28
Speaker
Horrible.
00:35:30
Speaker
In my number 23 spot, and this is one that you're probably going to differ with me on, but I had Hearts and Minds in my number 23 spot. I do not differ with you on that at all. That was my number 20. Oh, okay, okay.
00:35:45
Speaker
Yeah, I gave that one a seven and a half. You know, it had its cool moments. Like, that was an episode where we did get to see some stuff with the monster early on. Yeah. Yeah. But other than that, the rest of it just you know didn't wow me or or really do anything for me.
00:36:02
Speaker
It's kind of a nothing episode. Yeah. There's a few of those where just nothing happens. i agree, yeah. Now, number 22, I know that you're going to be upset with me about this, so let's not come to blows over this.
00:36:18
Speaker
Special is my number 22 episode. Dude. Dude. I knew that one was not going to land well. Oh, dude.
00:36:32
Speaker
Oh, dude. I've left him speechless. Oh, just move on. Just tell me number 21. Just tell me number 21. Number 21, this is where it starts getting hard, but number 21 for me was The Greater Good.
00:36:48
Speaker
ah gave it a 7.9, and it wasn't too far off from... What's that? I said, wow, that like shocked me. It does it? Yeah, that shocks me.
00:36:59
Speaker
Yeah, it it kind of surprised me too, because I remember when I watched it in season, I really liked it. But then the more that I started weighing the episodes again the against each other, and even Saeed's other episode, Solitary, I was like, I can't really put it above Solitary.
00:37:21
Speaker
Even like the Sun and Jin episodes, I didn't like it as much as I liked to those episodes. Wow. And even a couple of the Kate episodes you know as a whole. It had some cool moments.
00:37:34
Speaker
But yeah. And again, this is where it gets hard, right? like There's so many good episodes and I might you know ask me again next week and that one might move up a few spots. I think that's one of those that's easily exchangeable depending on how you're feeling that day.
00:37:49
Speaker
Yeah. Wow. That's kind of crazy. Yeah, I figured special and the greater good would be the two that really threw you there. Oh, dude. Oh, my goodness.
00:38:04
Speaker
Okay. All right. I just needed to grieve over your decision. Well, I'm still grieving over Raised by Another, too, so... That's fair. all right. Um...
00:38:17
Speaker
Are we doing 10? Let's do it, yeah. let's do it yeah let's Let's do your top 10. Let me say quickly before, two things. One, I have the greater good at my number 12 spot. Okay.
00:38:29
Speaker
At an 8.8 out of 10. And then I'm also going to say 9, 10, 11 all have a rating of 9.0 out of 10. So I'm just going to mention all three of them as my top 10 since 9, 10, and 11 are pretty interchangeable.
00:38:44
Speaker
Yeah, go for it. At number one, we have special.
00:38:49
Speaker
Okay. That might be ah hot take. Wait, you said you said number one. Did you mean number 11? No, I meant number one. Like your number one overall episode is special? My number one overall episode is special.
00:39:05
Speaker
What? Yeah. No way. It's special.
00:39:11
Speaker
Wow, that is mind-boggling to me. So that one beat that beat both of the Locke episodes. It beat the the finale episodes. It beat the pilot. It beat Numbers.
00:39:23
Speaker
Yep. Wow. And all the Jackets. Man, I am i'm blown away right right now. I was so moved by Special. i was I was sitting here in my room watching Special.
00:39:39
Speaker
And just those like just the last 10 minutes of that episode are so good. It's so good. It's like, I think that's one, like, i i think that's the most emotional I've been watching a show in a really long time.
00:39:57
Speaker
And I was like, I have to put it, I have to put it up here. i was like, i I think I knew as soon as I, as soon as I finished that episode, I was like, that's 100% going to be my number one. Like, I knew that before anything else.
00:40:09
Speaker
I was like, that's 100% my number one.
00:40:13
Speaker
Tied wow in the number two spot at 10 out of 10 is Walkabout. Walkabout. Okay. Yeah. I have never had so much fun watching an episode of a show.
00:40:25
Speaker
So kind of vice versa here. i remember I was, I was actually, i was, again, I was sitting in my room and I had a friend over and he was, he was just doing homework. He wasn't even watching the show, but I was like, okay, I have to watch the show. I'm, I'm doing a podcast on it later tonight. i was like, I have to, I have to watch this.
00:40:41
Speaker
And oh my goodness. I like, I literally couldn't stop like pausing it and like jumping in excitement Oh, absolutely. Like Locke and everything and like the twist at the end. Like by the end, I had like hit I had the dude the dude doing homework who hadn't watched the first three episodes.
00:40:58
Speaker
I had him hooked. So, i mean, an introduction to an amazing character as well. Don't tell me what I can't do. ah Yeah, I mean, it's so good.
00:41:11
Speaker
It's so good. That one I completely resonate with and have no poems about the rating there. Yeah. In my number three spot, I'll go a little faster because I am talking a lot.
00:41:21
Speaker
I have numbers at my number three with a 9.8 out of 10. hope friend is i feel like that's kind of known for me. I love Hurley. I thought it was also a fantastic episode with a really, really, really cool concept too. Oh, absolutely.
00:41:38
Speaker
I think that concept that he is lucky that everyone else around him isn't. i think that's fantastic. And I think that oh they will play off of that. with seasons to come. And I think it's just going to be so awesome.
00:41:50
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. Unequivocally, that is one of, that's one of my favorite episodes in all six seasons of Lost. It's such a good episode. Fantastic. At the number four, 9.6 out of 10, I have Outlaws. All right. Yeah.
00:42:05
Speaker
I love Sawyer's character. He's a top five character for me. At least coming off of the end of season one, he's a top five character for me. this episode again was just so good.
00:42:19
Speaker
was just so good. I mean, seriously. It was. Yeah. I feel like the internal struggle that Sawyer has throughout this whole show is fantastic.
00:42:30
Speaker
Yeah, and the bar scene alone with Christian Shepard is just mind-boggling. Right at number five with a score of 9.6, the same score as Outlaws, I have Exodus one.
00:42:43
Speaker
That is my number five as well. That's my first Exodus out of the three. Wait, what did you give it score-wise, 9.6? 9.6. I it 9.5. Following Exodus one in the number six spot with a score 9.4 Exodus three.
00:42:58
Speaker
following exodus one and the number six spot is and with a score of nine point four is exodus three Exodus 3 is also my number 6 spot, and I gave it a 9.5. So we're like really close on those. Really, really close there.
00:43:12
Speaker
and To kind of hop out of my top 10 for a second and just follow the pattern, I have Exodus 2 at 15 with a ranking 8.4. Yeah, I think Exodus 2 was weak. i yeah i think exodus two is weak Yeah. Compared to the other two. who Just didn't didn't speak to me.
00:43:29
Speaker
Yeah. At my number seven, actually a little, probably a little lower than I would want it to be. All of, I think seven through 11 are really, really, really good episodes that i wanted to have in my top five, but just didn't make the cut. um I have White Rabbit with a score of 9.3. Okay.
00:43:46
Speaker
okay I have The Moth at number eight with a score of 9.2. yeah I have in the number nine spot, I have Deuce Ex Machina. And so this is 9, 10, and 11 are all interchangeable. So I'll go pretty fast through these.
00:44:04
Speaker
Deuce Ex Machina, Confidence Man, and All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues. Okay. Those three are currently tied for the 9, 10, 11 slot.
00:44:17
Speaker
Something that I'm looking at, and I probably would have higher, just looking back on it, I might put it again in that same realm of 9, 10, 11, would be harm. Mm-hmm. would be do no harm I have it in the 13 with a score of 8.7. So it kind of just missed out.
00:44:35
Speaker
But I do really love that episode. I think all the Jack episodes, I don't think there's a single bad ah Jack episode. Oh, no. So loved all of that. And that's my that's my top 10.
00:44:51
Speaker
Awesome. Well, we definitely have some similarities. Obviously we have a a large discretion with special and yes, also raised by another. we have some, some discrepancies there, but yeah, we're, we're pretty aligned for me. I think there was about 13 episodes that could have landed in my top five.
00:45:11
Speaker
Yeah. And so i am going to, to read before I get into my top 10, my, My honorable mentions were really close to my number 10 ranking, which I gave an 8.9.
00:45:25
Speaker
11 through 13 were all 8.8s for me. Wow. And some of them, you're pretty you'll probably be surprised that they didn't make it into my top 10, but there's just so many good episodes. so So I'll start there. My 11 through 13, all tied with a rate rating of 8.8, Raised by Another is in that group because I do love that episode. And I get why you don't resonate with it. I think for me, it's such a – it ties so well into the mythology of the island and yeah all that stuff. 100%.
00:46:01
Speaker
You know, and so for me, anytime you can have an episode where you're both doing on island mythology and you're getting off island, I'm like, yeah, sign me up. You know, I want more of that. Right.
00:46:13
Speaker
I doubt there will ever be another Claire episode that ranks to that high for me. Yeah. Claire's a good character, but i don't think anyone would argue that she's one of the best or a great character.
00:46:25
Speaker
But I did love that episode. And then the other two that are tied at 8.8 for me are The Moth. So that one didn't quite make it into my top 10, but I loved it. right Huge fan of that episode. And then Confidence Man with Sawyer, which was his first yeah you know backstory.
00:46:40
Speaker
I also love that one. And it was hard for me when I was thinking through that one and Outlaws. I do like Outlaws better, but it was hard for me because I was like, oh, well, Confidence Man is the first one where we really start getting some of the Sawyer backstory. Yeah.
00:46:55
Speaker
But at the end of the day, ah Outlaws, like you said, is just so good. It's fantastic. It's unbelievably good. Yeah. And so since I'm talking about Outlaws, I'm actually going to count backwards and go 10 to 1 here.
00:47:08
Speaker
going to throw the listeners for a curve. Outlaws actually is my number 10. And it was hard for me to put it yeah it was hard for me to put it down that low. But I ranked it at 8.9 because I do love it. I think it's phenomenal.
00:47:21
Speaker
But there's just so many good episodes. Yeah. And like you mentioned Jack, it's hard to find a ah bad Jack episode. Now, you had all the best Cowboys have daddy issues in your top 10, right?
00:47:33
Speaker
I had it at the 11. So it could have been top 10. You had at the 11, right? Okay. So that one was 15 for me. I do love that episode. But as I was like thinking back, like it wasn't, it was more of an action. i remember we talked about that too. It was like one of those episodes where it was nonstop action from start to finish where there wasn't,
00:47:52
Speaker
One of the cool things that I love about Lost is the dialogue moments that are just so heavy. Right. or Or philosophical, you know, Jack and Locke, some of those conversations, Jack and Sawyer, whatever whoever it might be. And I just didn't feel like in All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues we really had anything like that. So that's why that one rated a little bit lower for me at 8.6.
00:48:16
Speaker
But at number nine and number eight, I had Jack episodes back to back. So Do No Harm was my number nine. Yeah. Obviously, that's the one where where we lose Boone, but Jack is is doing his best to save him.
00:48:30
Speaker
I love the flashbacks on that one also. i feel like I feel like his flashbacks in season one are just very strong. And that episode I thought but thought was really good. And the end of that episode, I believe, is where we had that really powerful music moment where they're on the beach and Saeed and Shannon are coming back while they're welcoming the birth of Claire's baby.
00:48:56
Speaker
But then Jack is also still mourning the loss of Boone and he goes over and shares that news. And was just so powerful. Yeah. And then at number eight, White Rabbit was a 9.2 for me.
00:49:07
Speaker
I'm with you. I absolutely love that episode. The idea of Jack chasing his dead dad around the island. Yeah. I we thought it was, it's so cool. It's so cool.
00:49:19
Speaker
It is. and And we still don't have a clue what's going on with that. So that's for me, one of the questions going into season two that, you know, i'm hoping that they continue to pull on that thread a little bit.
00:49:32
Speaker
And then at my number seven spot, I have numbers at 9.3. Again, amazing episode, but there's just so many good episodes. So it's hard to, yeah hard for everything to make it where you want it to be. And then we talked about Exodus. So you and I were, were aligned with that numbers five and six for me. I gave both of them, I gave both of them a 9.5, but I have part one, you know, I hold that one a little closer to my heart just because it's so slightly better.
00:50:00
Speaker
Yeah, and again, it's so emotional. Like when they launched the raft, to the music that they came up with for that scene is just so powerful. And then top four in my number four spot, we start to get into our lock episodes.
00:50:15
Speaker
So we have Juice X Machina. That is my number four at 9.6.
00:50:22
Speaker
My number three is Walkabout. I also gave that a 9.6, but i I give it, a you know again, a little higher ranking in my mind, even though it's same score.
Episode Ranking Criteria and Discussions
00:50:32
Speaker
Yeah.
00:50:33
Speaker
Both of those episodes, so emotional. they're both They're both fantastic. Yeah, and the endings are just so awesome. You know, you yeah walk about, you have, like you said, you have him coining his phrase of, don't you tell me what I can't do? And then we find out he's in the wheelchair off islands and then do sex Machina. He's, he's pounding on the gate at his dad's house after dad basically steals kidney. and And then he's pounding on the hatch in a parallel at the island and saying, yeah, you know, ah so good.
00:51:06
Speaker
I've done everything you want me to do. So why did you do this to me? And it's just so powerful.
00:51:14
Speaker
And then for me, this is where it was really hard. you know, I didn't really hear you talk about these that much, but I have a hard time ranking anything in season one above pilots part one and two because they are. Wow.
00:51:28
Speaker
They are just a. I forget what the saying is, but they are just like a class in in making good television. It's just so awesome from start to finish. Mm I completely agree. do you have pilot one or pilot two higher?
00:51:45
Speaker
I have pilot one a little higher just because of the the opening sequence. Oh, it's so good. it's It's so good, you know, and you have Jack waking up on the island with the the first eye scene that we get and all that.
00:51:57
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. To sort of transition into our middle section a little bit too, I have pilot one at 14 with a score of 8.5 and pilot two at 18 with score of 7.5. at eighteen with a score of seven point five Wow, okay.
00:52:12
Speaker
I have a big chunk in between Pylos 1 and 2. Yeah, you're you're a little lower on those. I'm surprised. Yeah, i I really like them. And honestly, in my mind, they're actually even a little bit lower.
00:52:28
Speaker
i did give brownie points for them being the pilot episodes. And like, you know, I still do love the episodes. I think the the pilot, the introduction to all the characters is amazing.
00:52:40
Speaker
and But I think just for me, especially ranking them... I think on this first watch, I think I rank them lower than I probably would if this was like, say, like you, might my fifth or sixth time watching it through.
00:52:54
Speaker
Because once you've watched it through and you go back to the first episode, you notice things that you didn't notice the first time. Right. Now that you know the characters, right? Like... Like, oh, Sawyer was brooding about the letter.
00:53:06
Speaker
Oh, it's because, you know, the letter is actually, you know, whatever, whatever, whatever. Right. So that's kind of what I think. Yeah, no, that that makes perfect sense. And I think that once you, you know, in the future, whether it's after you watch through the the show for the first time or when you go back and rewatch some of these episodes, you some of them have a a rewatchability factor and others have much less of a rewatchability factor. And I think that is what, for me, that's where the rubber kind of meets the road on how good an episode really is. Like if you can go and rewatch it three or four times and it's exactly as strong and powerful as it was the first time you watched it.
00:53:50
Speaker
Yeah. that That's where it gets it gets pretty impressive, you know? Mm-hmm. And that's where I feel like some of these some of these episodes with the Kate backstories and even like the Son and Jin backstories, little harder to to rewatch those and appreciate them as much as when you watch them the first time.
00:54:14
Speaker
Not to say they're not great episodes, but... Yeah. I feel you. Question. Neither one of us really talked about where we ranked Solitary, so I didn't hear where that one lands for you. um I had The Greater Good at 12. I had Solitary at 16.
00:54:31
Speaker
I really liked solid Solitary, but I think The Greater Good kind of stuck out to me a little bit more. um Just because I want to say there was more going on when The Greater Good comes. Like, The Greater Good is, like, again, in that, like, 21 range.
00:54:48
Speaker
Like, around Numbers and Dussex Machina. Yeah. So, yeah there's um there was a lot going on in the actual story compared to Solitary where things are a little less intense.
00:55:04
Speaker
Yeah, that's fair. So... Yeah, the reason Solitary beat it out for me, again, is is sort of the island mythology that was introduced right in that episode. You know, obviously with me, Rousseau, we started learning a lot of her story and the secrets there. And the other piece that's really cool is that's the episode, I believe, that introduces the whispers for the first time. um Maybe we heard them one other time before then, but it's really the first time that we get an extended experience with that. Yeah. Yeah.
00:55:38
Speaker
Awesome. Well, this was fun. It's always fun doing rankings and, you know, kind of cool to see, see the, the differences in, in what we thought.
00:55:50
Speaker
Yeah. All right. Awesome. Well, listeners, I know you have been excited since Nick mentioned this towards the end of season one of how he was going to go through and tally his most loved, most hated. Yeah.
00:56:04
Speaker
So it's time for us to to get into his overall season one, Most Loved, Most Hated. So take it away.
Character Rankings
00:56:11
Speaker
Okay. So how the scoring here works, I've got a score next to every single character here. Okay.
00:56:18
Speaker
If they were ranked in the most loved, if they were the most loved for that episode, I would give them three points. If they were the second most loved, they would get two points. If they were the least most loved, they would get one point.
00:56:33
Speaker
If they were in the most hated, it would work the same way. If they were the most hated, they would get negative three points. If they were the second most hated, negative two. If they were the least most hated, they would get negative one.
00:56:44
Speaker
If they were an honorable mention, or if for whatever reason, i mentioned them in my least hated or most hated, and I mentioned them and i was like, oh, I wanted to put this person, but that didn't have enough space.
00:56:57
Speaker
I would give them negative or positive 0.5 points. Gotcha. Okay. gotcha So there's a lot of characters on this list. There's a lot of characters that also um didn't even make my most loved or most hated at all. For example, Claire is an example of this.
00:57:12
Speaker
So she would just have ah and a score of zero. Also, typically, I ended up ranking characters that were only in that episode. So I have ah a little section here just called random character from a specific episode.
00:57:26
Speaker
That's like characters like Jack's dad, Right. The psychic, you know, like these these characters, Shannon's boyfriend and that from Australia in that one episode, ah Claire's husband are boyfriend that broke up with her after she got pregnant, like like these characters that don't actually have much of a place. Okay.
00:57:50
Speaker
So starting at the bottom, for just to get us out of the way, the random character from a specific episode, they have negative 38 points. Oh, wow. so we write we ranked them down there a lot.
00:58:04
Speaker
You know, like they they had a lot of most hated. Now I'm going to kind of go in the opposite direction and we're going to go from the top bottom. In my number one slot, do you want to take a guess at you think it is? I think it's kind of obvious.
00:58:18
Speaker
Yeah, yeah it's got to be Shannon. Got to be.
00:58:26
Speaker
I am proud to announce that it is Locke with a score of 47. So he was he was getting top threes a lot.
00:58:40
Speaker
Yeah. Trailing Locke with a score of 45 Hurley. Okay. I didn't think it was going to be that close.
00:58:51
Speaker
I really thought that i thought it was going to be an overwhelming win for John Locke. And then as I got there, I realized I didn't start ranking John Locke as my favorite favorite until probably like two thirds into the season.
00:59:05
Speaker
And I had Hurley as my number one pretty consistently. You did, yeah. so Hurley is very close. In third place with a score of 14, so you can see the drop. That's big drop.
00:59:19
Speaker
The big drop is Saeed. Wow, okay. In my number three slot. Interesting. ah Very interesting. But yet his episodes did not rank that high for you. This is true. I really liked his character, especially in a lot of different episodes, to the point where he would get... I feel like Saeed got a lot of number twos, or a lot of ah lot of um those number three slots, or a lot of those number two slots.
00:59:44
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. If Locker Hurley didn't lock it down. um And my number four with a score of 5.5 is Jack. Jack. That's what I going to say.
00:59:56
Speaker
Jack is really good. There were just some moments where Dark Jack came out and I probably had him in my bottom three and he lost one or two points. Yeah. That's kind of just what happened.
01:00:08
Speaker
So that's how it goes. And my number five... or I shouldn't really say numbers because i have I don't have all the characters here, is Sun with a score of one.
01:00:22
Speaker
Okay. i I apparently put Sun in my most loved once, and um that awarded her one point, and it is, that you know, that's that's enough.
01:00:32
Speaker
Yeah. Tied for my six and seven are Rose and Michael. Each have.5. Okay. ah good So I honorable mentioned them. i You know what? i Listening back to all those episodes, I mention or I ask where Rose is almost every single episode. You did. i i Almost every single episode. I'm still mad. Where is Rose?
01:00:57
Speaker
I don't think we saw her at all in the finale. Maybe she got kidnapped and she's in the hatch. I mean, maybe. I don't know. I don't know where she's at. Anyway, following Michael would be any character with a zero. So any character that I don't mention on this list.
01:01:16
Speaker
um So Claire is an example of this. think it's just Claire. Okay. Anyway, under that, with a score of negative 0.5, this is actually insane since this character started off with a negative eight, is Sawyer.
01:01:32
Speaker
And he made an amazing comeback, and he made it back up to negative 0.5. Yeah. Following him is Charlie, with a score of negative one. Okay.
01:01:43
Speaker
I think at one point he had a score of like 12. Okay. Yeah, he started strong. He fell off so hard. It was really, I think and i think in the last in the last, in Exodus, I put him as my second ah least favorite or second most hated.
01:02:02
Speaker
So he went from seeing that positive number go to down don't go down to a negative one was like, wow, that's kind of crazy. There's a three-way tie between the next three with each how each having a score of negative two.
01:02:16
Speaker
um Arst, which I honestly could have put down in random characters from a specific episode, but I thought I wouldn't mention him. Rousseau also, I think, had a score of negative two.
01:02:29
Speaker
Okay. But she is not here for whatever reason. Jin has a score of negative two. He was much lower, and he kind of worked his way back up as well. And I have in all caps here, the baby.
01:02:41
Speaker
The baby. The baby. I think I gave the baby my my my second most hated ah during Do No Harm. So, wasn't a fan.
01:02:53
Speaker
Yeah. Well, don't tell your Aunt Kate and your Uncle Kyle that you're not a fan the baby. I will not tell them that. They will be very upset. Speaking of Kate, I have Kate with a score of negative four.
01:03:06
Speaker
She was a case where she just got a few like she was my least most hated. Yeah. And she would just get negative ones here and there. Right. And then like she would get like a one, maybe come back up a little bit.
01:03:19
Speaker
Under that, I have Boone with negative six. Under him, i have Ethan with a negative eight. Underneath Ethan is Walt, which is score negative 8.5, which I actually thought would be much lower.
01:03:36
Speaker
Yeah. And not shocking, Shannon is in last place with a score of negative 26. So next quite a big jump from negative 8.5 with Walt to a negative 26 with Shannon.
01:03:54
Speaker
Especially with how much you hated Walt early on in the season. Yeah, I was, I wasn't really, big I mean, I, I realized I didn't even hate Walt that much. I just put him as my most hated for like two episodes in a row.
01:04:09
Speaker
and that instantly earned him negative six. And then he like, there was no coming back from it. Yeah, he was also kind of just like a fall guy where if, you know, if I couldn't think of someone, I would just be like, you know what, I didn't like Walt from the past episode. So Walt's going down there.
01:04:26
Speaker
Yeah, and instead of you know instead of ah actually selecting someone, you just blamed it on the kids every time. and Exactly. Walton the baby. Walton the baby.
01:04:39
Speaker
Awesome. Well, thank you for going through that exercise and tiling that up. I know that was a lot of work going through past podcast episodes, but also probably pretty fun. Yeah, very fun.
01:04:52
Speaker
And I think you and I had, and we had a lot of similarities. I didn't go through and tally mine up, but I think that, you know, we would have been pretty close on a lot of those. I think the group thing big difference for us likely would have been the placement of Walt versus Michael. Walt would have been much higher on mine and Michael would have been much lower.
01:05:11
Speaker
Yeah, that makes sense. But other than that, I think we're, you know, Probably in in pretty close lockstep on some of those. No pun intended by using the name of Locke there. Yeah.
Plans for Season 2
01:05:23
Speaker
yeah
01:05:26
Speaker
Well, listeners, we cannot wait to get into season two We do not have a official release date yet, but what I can tell you is we will begin recording episodes probably as early as next week.
01:05:40
Speaker
And then... At some point, I would imagine in early June, we'll probably release the first episode of season two and hopefully start releasing an episode a week thereafter and try to get through it pretty quickly. We are shifting our approach a little bit and we're going to be doing two lost episodes per podcast episode just for time purposes for Nick and I and just so that we can get through it a little bit quicker.
01:06:11
Speaker
But it's going be fun. i'm I'm so excited to finally get into the hatch and get some of those answers that you're looking for. Cannot wait.
01:06:20
Speaker
Well, thank you again, listeners, for tuning into the podcast. Don't forget to subscribe and leave a review. And we'll see you next time. We will see you next time.
