Krista has the same reaction as everyone else with this episode, which was: WHY NOW? WHO CAAAARES? Join us as we talk through this speedbump on our way to the finale.

So what happens? We get Jacob and MIB's origin stories. They're twins, born from a shipwrecked woman who is then killed by Mother, played by the incandescent Allison Janney. She raises them on lies, which backfires on her later. We learn about the Heart of the Island. More questions are raised. Few answers are given. And sure, this exact thing is probably a big reason why people were frustrated with Lost. I just prefer, personally, to get through this and focus on what's coming up. Are you ready? We're not ready.

Also, just a heads up on the audio. Krista's good mic broke and there's a bit of background noise from her roommate, so it's not as crisp as it usually is, but it's not horrible. I did the best I could with the editing.
