LOSTCasts 81: What Kate Does and The Substitute

This latest podcast focuses on season 6 of LOST, episodes 3 and 4, What Kate Does and The Substitute. Join Robert, John and Tasha as we talk about the lukewarm reactions to episode 3, but explore some of the important topics that carry over into the highest rated show of season 6, episode 4 of LOST, The Substitute. In that conversation, we speculate on the meaning of the numbers, the relationship between Jacob and the man in black, previous candidates, and the roles of our losties as potential candidates.

Yay for Tasha! Welcome back :)

[Kunal]

Another great podcast guys! Please try to do one after each episode. Thanks :-)

The mystery boy said "you" not "we". Here's the transcript from Lostpedia:

SAWYER: The kid? Hell yeah I can see him.

[The boy begins to run]

LOCKE: Hey!

[Locke chases him but trips on a root and falls ... the boy stands over him]

BOY: You know the rules. You can't kill him.

LOCKE: Don't tell me what I can't do...

[The boy shakes his head and walks away]

LOCKE: Don't tell me what I can't do!

[Higgins]

Too bad it didn't get archived... I wanted to finally be able to see Tasha! :) You'll have to bring her on again.

[Mark B]

Not a bad podcast, but it just doesn't hold water to Jay and Jack.

[Mike]

Hey, you guys sound a little timid about your thoughts lately. I hope you didn't let the haters and trolls get to you after the hiatus in podcasts!

I think you should rock your theories

[Cooper]

Just a sidenote, the guy from Always Sunny was in an episode in Season 3 as well (according to Lostpedia at least) - he was the guy guarding Room 23.

It was awesome seeing him in Lost! Although a bit distracting.

I had something else to correct you all with, but I've forgotten what it was so you're off the hook for now I SUPPOSE. <3

[Chris in Oly]

So can we assume that the loophole was Ben killing Locke who was a candidate? Then, once a person who was supposedly on Jacob's team breaks the rule he can kill Jcaob? (A good way to keep the team captain responsible for his team.) This would also tie into why Sayid has to take the pill willingly, so he is not killed as a candidate?

[Mark B.]

I love having someone pretend to be me. I feel so important now.

BTW The term is hold a candle to not hold water to.

Mark B. if you can't take what people here have to say maybe you should just stick to the J and J boards.

[Eric]

You guys should work on the audio / move the mike if possible... I had to keep adjusting the volume because of the huge volume difference between voices. That said, keep up the awesome work. Always looking forward to this podcast

[Mark B.]

Enough with all of this mystical stuff already! here we are well into the final season of the series and what do the writers do? They introduce an invisible magical lighthouse that only can only be found if you were actually looking around for an invisible magical lighthouse.
I predict for the finale that Jacob and Locke will take over the bodies of Jack and Sawyer. They will then engage in a battle of wills with the fate of the universe at stake. That or maybe its all just a dream in that dog's head. With such lazy writing it could be literally anything.

[Van]

Great podcast guys! I've been listening since early last season and enjoy each one. I agree with Eric that you need to get the audio levels set up right when there's 3 of you talking - Robert and Tasha were barely audible.

[Kane]

Mark R,

you serious with "Enough with all of this mystical stuff"? Whatever, plz don't answer.

Thanks for the podcast guys!
