The Island Shuffle

this week we’re watching Season 5 Episode 3, titled… Jughead!! we’re not watching Riverdale though. we’re watching Lost, the show where time travel is real. this week we’re in the fifties. Daniel Faraday, who has spent most of his screentime being a huge dweeb, is suddenly the smartest man in town. there’s an atomic bomb too!! also Desmond is on a quest to find out the Secrets of Oxford and meets a very british man in the process. do we impersonate that british man?? oh you bet we do

this week we talk about Season 2, Episode 6, Abandoned and, tbh, it’s our first not great episode in a while. oh well! we get to meet Shannon, who spends this episode chasing a ghost. surely this would mark a significant character turn, right? well, bad news. meanwhile, there’s trekkin’ through the jungle with an injured Sawyer, and also Claire and Charlie are there too. on non-lost related notes… we turn to our audience for some help. cast your votes with #YesHorseMeat or #NoHorseMeat today. be heard.

this week we talk about One of Theme, which is season 2 episode 14. it’s our first episode about Sayid Jarrah, who role in the ensemble is The Torturer. as the only brown member of the main cast, that’s what you might call Really Bad Representation. we learn about his rough life in the gulf war, and we see him kick the heck out of a lying Benjamin Linus. pretty torture heavy episode, to be honest. other talking points include: capitalism, bananas, costco, and Jack’s teeth. also Hurley and Sawyer go on an adventure too. thanks for listening

this week… it’s time to talk about the final episode of lost. or at least the first 40-ish minutes of it. it’s The End (Part 1)… Season 6, Episode 17. believe it or not, an enjoyable slice of The Bad Season!! Locke and Jack are both on their way to the Heart of the Island so they can win a dumb bet. in the Alternate Mirror World, Desmond and Hurley are Enlightened and Cool. the stakes are high and the pilot can fly!!like us on Facebook (facebook.com/theislandshuffle) or follow us on Twitter!

welcome back! this week it’s Season 2, Episode 24… the finale of Season 2!! Live Together, Die Alone (Part 2)!! desmond’s back, baby! and he’s locked in the hatch with Locke, and they’re gonna see what happens if you Don’t Push That Button!! ahhh… classic Lost, just dippin it’s toes into the weird sci-fi nonsense that would eventually consume it whole. meanwhile, Charlie is here and helpful, Mr. Eko really dies for real, and the protagonists gets bamboozled. Bean and James, meanwhile, have an idea for a band that just might surprise you.

this week!! we watched!! Whatever Happened Happened!! season 5!! episode 11!!!! !!!! !!!!!! it’s a Time Travel Week, which means everything is absolutely buck wild. a young Benjamin Linus has been shot by a normal-aged Sayid Jarrah, and nobody knows quite what to do about that. and in an episode with a plot like that, somehow Kate and Cassidy’s relationship proves to be one of the wildest things about it. thanks for watching the show Lost

episode twenty!! a full sixth of lost has now officially been watched by us, and none of it has made any sense!! well, this one sorta did. this is Season 3, Episode 21, Greatest Hits. and it’s all about how Charlie is gonna die for real, for real, really die. it’s a Farewell to Charlie, and y’know what?? not all that bad of an episode. in fact a pretty decent episode. meanwhile bean and james learn harder truths still about whether or not Sawyer is still really the protagonist. thanks for listening to this silly little podcast for this long,…

we’re back and this week we’re taking on the big mess that is season 5… and in the tradition of this podcast, you KNOW we’re starting with the finale. The Incident (Part 1) is today’s episode, and boy… where to start. jack has a hydrogen bomb, and you know who cares? not rose and bernard, that for sure. meanwhile, jacob tries to trick us into thinking he matters, but we’re wiser than that. oh by the way, this is the time travel season. you know, the television show Lost. the one with the time travel season. yeah, that’s the show…

welcome back! this week it’s Ji Yeon, which is Season 4 Episode 7. we’re back on the Sun and Jin train. someone’s having a baby!! wow! what a television show. meanwhile, we finally meet Pillar of the Island, Bernard the Wisest, and Sayid and Desmond eat from a can. good episode!! also, in honor of this silly podcast of ours turning 18, james made us lovely cocktails!! so it’s another one of Those episodes, i’m afraid. enjoy, and remember: the show lost is about an island

hello lost fans. we’re back, with an episode from the absolute pit of despair. that is to say…. lost, season 6, episode 3, What Kate Does. it’s a… it’s a really… it’s just a miserable slice of television. absolutely no good. Kate is there??? kate sure is there. she does stuff. there’s also a temple now. Sayid comes back from the dead, and nobody cares really all that much. we also dip back into the Alternate World where Flight 815 never crashed… and its also bad. surprisingly few tangents in this one!! that’s what happens when the show is bad…
