Parenting Tips from “Lost” S5 E9, “Namaste”

About this episode

The episode discusses parenting lessons from the TV show Lost, focusing on character dynamics and storytelling.

Each Wednesday, we've been discussing an older entertainment property, and currently, that's Lost . We stay on the island for this entire episode, but jump between two timelines just to keep things interesting. To Terri's dismay, the love quadrangle of Sawyer/Kate/Jack/Juliet is back in action. Mentioned: Call the Midwife and a pertinent scene from The Princess Bride . We're wrapping up our recaps of Lost here, but we may not be quite done blathering about TV in general (and Lost in particular; Catherine can't stop watching now!). Keep an eye on our social media and Terri's Substack for updates. We'll be back tomorrow with our final weekly roundup.
