Season 2: Three Minutes

We flash back to Michael's brief time with the Others and learn about how they persuaded him to return to the Oceanic survivors, and that means we spend a lot of time bemoaning Michael's tragic character arc. We're delighted to see Alex, grateful for Sayid, and a bit annoyed with Charlie. Best of all, we return to our interview with Henry Ian Cusick, who played Desmond, and whose boat returns in the closing moments of this episode.  Find us on Twitter @TheHatchPodcast, and at Facebook.com/TheHatchPodcast.
