This is it, guys. We've made it to the finale! And while I fully expected to just blubber through the entire thing, I pulled through and didn't shed one tear! Krista had an interesting take on what it all means, and it's a theory I've never heard or considered before. And, while we interpreted how it all wrapped up differently, we aren't in opposition. We will be taking a little break, but we want to come back with an episode where we answer all of your questions. So get them in to us! I'll make a post in the Facebook groups, but you can also send questions on Twitter @theconstantpod, or theconstantpod@gmail.com . Ask away, everyone! Thank you to everyone who stuck with us from the beginning, and all of you that we picked up along the way. We have loved doing this show so much, and knowing you guys were there with us means so much. Thank you to Natasha for taking us under her wing and supporting this endeavor. She's the best boss bitch two newbie podcasters could ask for. We hope you come along with us with our next adventures in podcasting. We'll be back soon with The Punisher, and The Vampire Diaries will return after that. You all are the best. Until we return: Namaste, m*th*rf*ck*rs.

In this, the penultimate episode of Lost, we learn which candidate steps up to the task of being the new Jacob - and it's no surprise who. We say goodbye, and good riddance, to Charles Widmore and his lapdog Zoe. We worry about the fate of Richard Alpert and Frank Lapidus. And we speculate on what is going to happen in the finale next week. If you have questions for Krista regarding the series on a whole, DM Jaime on Facebook, twitter (@theConstantPod), or email at theconstantpod@gmail.com . We'll be doing a follow up episode or two so get those questions in. Hey, you may even have some questions for Jaime, who knows! We welcome all inquiries.

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.

If you've been with us since season 1, you've probably been wondering how Krista would react to this episode. Well...she didn't rage quit! A moment of silence for our departed friends, Sun, Jin, and Sayid.

In this episode, we've got some bombs, some possible murder, and the groups split again, though this time it seems that Jack is on his own with the LockeMonster. Everyone else heads to Hydra and are immediately captured by Widmore's people, but not before the long awaited reunion between Jin and Sun happens. It's getting closer and closer to the end now, guys, and Krista isn't handling it well.

We're getting closer and closer to the end and Krista is starting to freak out. Here's a drinking game for you: every time Krista says she's scared, or every time she says she hates this, DRINK. In happier news, we have Libby and Hurley finding each other in the Sideways Universe and it predictably made me cry, as did Michael, which I explain because it surprised even me. We have some discussion of what Krista thinks is going to happen, there is some praise of Jack, and a lot of love for Hurley. But that's right there in the title.

As usual, a Desmond-centric episode leads to a lot of discussion of what the hell does this mean? Krista has a theory about not only the Sideways-verse, but what Desmond has to do with it. Is she right? We'll know in a few weeks. OMG.

Raise your hands if you thought the titular package was DESMOND. Well, I didn't but Krista suspected. And, while we don't get a lot of Mr. Hume in this episode, we do get a flash sideways about Jin and Sun and how they're not married but definitely into each other, which is nice. Not so nice is Martin Keamy, or Mikhail, who no one was hoping to see again. On the Island, we get a little more of Charles Widmore, which leads to a lot of discussion about his motivations and what the hell he's planning on doing with or to Desmond. At the beach, Sun runs face first into a tree to get away from the LockeMonster, and loses her ability to speak English. It doesn't stop her from speaking her mind though, even if no one can understand what she's saying.

It's finally here: Richard's episode! The best part is that Krista went into this one with dread, thinking it was going to be about Jacob, and instead she got what she'd been asking for for so long! Plus, Maggie is back to discuss all things Alpert, some things Jacob, and a little bit of Man in Black. We also talk about how we feel about Sayid, and Krista tries to guess at the endgame.

We get our Sawyer episode and in a twist we find out that in the Sidewaysverse he's not a con artist, but a cop who takes down con artists. And his partner is Miles! And he goes on a date with a very glamorous Charlotte! Though his backstory is still one of tragedy, he took a different path to be a better, though still sad, man. On the island, though, he's conning anyone and everyone because that's what he does. Either version is cool with us though. Team Sawyer!

What would it be like if Ben Linus were actually a good person? In the Flash Sideways we get to see him choosing what's good for someone else over power for himself, while on the Island we see his remorse for what he's done to retain his power. It's a great episode with a powerhouse performance from Michael Emerson.

Siiiiiiigh. I don't know, you guys. We struggled for things to talk about in this episode. It's just so...BORING. Give it a listen anyway, because we did our best to make at least talking about it entertaining.

What's that? Jack has a KID in the Sidewaysverse? And he's actually a GOOD DAD??! This is interesting. What does it mean? And who is David's mom? These are the things we want to know about. On the Island, Hurley brings Jack on a Jacob-instructed mission to a lighthouse no one has ever seen before, and which Jack gets all Jack about and smashes the mirrors to shards when he isn't given answers immediately. When will he ever learn? How did this dude get through medical school and master the ability to cut into people's spines when he has absolutely no patience? Meanwhile, Claire is crazy. She has a animal skull baby and is killing Others looking for her baby, who she doesn't realize is not only not on the Island anymore, but also not a baby anymore. Jin is savvy in getting himself out of danger of her ax, unlike Justin the Other who ends up with it in his chest. Bye, Justin. We hardly knew ya.

On the Island, Locke promises Sawyer answers, and bring him to a cave covered in names and numbers. Names like Shephard, Reyes, and Ford. Others have been crossed off, like Austen and Locke. This is the stuff I love. What both of us love, though, is the return of Helen! In the FlashSidewaysVerse, we see that Locke, while still a bit petulant about his being in a wheelchair, is actually much happier. He and Helen are planning a wedding, he apparently has a good relationship with his father, and he gets a job as a substitute teacher. Also teaching there? A very uptight Benjamin Linus.

Newsflash: we don't like the Temple crap. But we did like Jack's reaction to their shenanigans, the scene on the dock with Sawyer and Kate, and we debate whether Claire is really Claire. Oh yeah, that's right, Claire is back! But...is she?

Here we are, starting the final season! Can you believe it? We can't. But we soldier on, and talk about what Krista got right, what she got wrong, and what she thinks this is all leading up to.

There's a lot to get into here, from Jacob and the Man in Black, to Locke, to the actual incident and what happens to Juliet. Then, when we've covered all of it, we get Krista's prediction on what's to come in Season 6, and you don't want to miss that.

The shirt is hitting the fan now, y'all. In 1977, we've got Jack following Daniel's not-so-well-described plan to drop a hydrogen bomb into a pocket of energy in order to change the future (guess we're forgetting about whatever happened happened), and Sawyer getting the shirt beat out of him a very eager Radzinsky rather than tell him anything. In 2007, we have Locke fully embracing his dictatorship and giving all the orders, leading the remaining group of Others to Jacob, who no one has ever even seen. Does he even exist? Next week is the season 5 finale! I can't believe how far we've come, and that we only have one season left. We'll be covering both parts of the finale as one episode. If you have any questions you'd like Krista to answer about the finale, or what she thinks is going to happen next, please send them to either in the Lost Spoiler group, on Discord, or DM me on Facebook.

We've got bad dads, we've got bad moms...and then we have Daniel's parents, who take it to a whole other level. Daniel's return brings a whole new level of chaos, and immediately. There's the spilling of the time travel tea, blowing up LaFleur's spot in the Dharma Initiative, and, well, talk of literally blowing up an actual hydrogen bomb. And then he's shot by his mother, who in the future sends him there knowing she's going to kill him. None of this can lead to anything good, right?

We're back! Thank you for your patience in our scheduled hiatus. Weddings were attended, family was seen, illness was combated, and so DragonCon was not on the menu, sadly. But, all of that is the past, what happened happened, and we're forging ahead with what turned out to be a very jam-packed episode. After waiting almost two full seasons, we finally get a Miles episode! We learn that Pierre Chang, aka Marvin Candle, aka that dude in the Dharma videos, is his father...and kind of a douche, but this is Lost, so what did we expect? Hurley tries to bond with Miles over daddy issues and seeing dead people, to little success. Kate uses her heart, not her head, and draws suspicion in her direction. Juliet continues to be the best. Jack seems strangely happy not being in charge. Sawyer seems stressed - heavy is the crown, you know. And Daniel is back!
