Episode 008: 1977 (Day 4)

Episode 008, our last look at the Dharma Initiative in the 1970s.  With Daniel Faraday dead, Jack follows through with his play to detonate a hydrogen bomb in the electromagnetic pocket where the Swan is being built.  Sayid gets shot, poor Phil is impaled, Juliet falls down the drill shaft, and the episode ends with the Incident occurring.  This is a long episode, to accommodate the rest of our time with the Losties in 1977.

Episode 007: 1977 (Day 3 to Day 4)

We're almost there.  Episode 007 shows us the rest of Day 3 and takes into Day 4, the day of The Incident.  Hurley is working on a rewrite of The Empire Strikes Back, because Ewoks suck, dude.  Faraday returns to the island with a purpose in mind, but instead ends up with an unfortunate run-in with his mother, and Sawyer  throws out his first recommendation that they commandeer a submarine.

Episode 006: 1977 (Day 2 to Day 3)

We continue our stretch of Dharma-centric episodes with Episode 006, which starts things off with Ben being shot by Sayid, Miles asking to be shot by Hurley, and Miles picking up a dead body after a filling shot through the guy's head.  There is also Ben being taken to the Temple by Richard, and we wrap things up with "That douche is my dad."

Episode 005: 1977 (Day 1 to Day 2)

In Episode 005 we have our second full Dharma Initiative-centric episode, that starts with the on-island Losties (Sawyer, Juliet, Jin and Miles) meeting up with the Ajira Losties (Jack, Kate, Hurley, and Sayid).  We see Sayid get captured and treated as Hostile, interrogated, and ultimately set free by a young Ben Linus.

Episode 004: 1974 to 1977 (Day 1)

We start Episode 004 with the final time flash that lands everyone in 1974, where they encounter the Dharma Initiative.  In between 1974 and our first glimpses of 1977, we see Sawyer around the time of his parents' death.  The episode concludes with Jack, Kate, and Hurley waking up on the island after taking Ajira 316 to get back to the island.

Episode 003: 1954 to 1972

In episode 003, we play out the rest of the time flash in 1954, then we go on to see Locke born in 1956, then visited as a child by Richard.  We also see Ben born, as his mother dies, and eventually ends up on an island.  The ending to this episode is a little anti-climactic, with Ben meeting Richard in the jungle, but it was done to create a bit of a bookend for the next episode.

Episode 002: 1867 to 1954

Apologies for not getting this up earlier.  In episode 002, we pick up with Richard Alpert in 'Ab Aeterno' (Sorry if the clips from 'Ab Aeterno' look a little more pixelated than the rest of the episode, it didn't encode as well as I would have liked).  In between his time in prison and crashing on the island, we see Jacob's conversation with the Man in Black before the Black Rock arrives.  The episode concludes with another time flash, when everyone flashed to 1954, with Locke reuniting with Sawyer, Juliet & Co.
