616 "What They Died For"

On the 6th anniversary of Looking Back at LOST launching, Matt returns to ponder the legacy of this landmark series--and, perhaps, its future.

A brief flashback.

Well friends, we're at the end: the podcast concludes this week as Matt looks back at the epilogue "The New Man In Charge." The end starts first with listener feedback, then discusses "New Man;" after that, the exit interview... and one last thought before it's time to be moving on. Thanks, everybody!

In this penultimate episode of the podcast, Matt is again joined by Pete as they listen to and review the season 6 musical highlights.

This week, the long look back at the music of LOST continues, as Matt welcomes Pete to hit the greatest hits of seasons 4 and 5!

Though "The End" has come, there's still more to say about LOST: this week, Matt looks back at the music of the first half of the series. Helping out is Pete from the forthcoming Star Trek Essentials podcast and the Agents of SHIELD podcast.

The End is here. This week, Matt looks back on episode 6x18, the second part of "The End." The podcast discusses religious imagery throughout the episode, the multi-faith flavor the final scenes, Hurley's humility as a protector, the tension who leaves the island and who stays, and the awakenings of Locke, Sawyer, Juliet, and of course, Jack.

It's starting to end: this week, Matt looks back at LOST episode 6x17, the first part of "The End." The podcast discusses listener questions regarding the show's overall plan, the impact of the real world versus the flashsideways world, and delves into the increasingly complicated yet ordered stories on island and the sideways. 

Places, everyone: this week, Matt looks back at LOST episode 6x16, "What They Died For." The podcast discuses the episodes deliberate and somber start, which shifts into a rousing finish; it also discusses Desmond as Christ, Jacob's free will recruitment, and our desire for Hurley to protect the island, despite Jack volunteering.

Flashback, and answers: this week, Matt looks back at LOST episode 6x15, "Across the Sea." The podcast discusses this wonderful episode's backstory for Jacob and Smokey... and even seeks to defend the nefarious actions of Mother!
