Speaker 1: Welcome to the Parenting Roundabout podcast. I'm Terry Morrow and
Speaker 1: I'm Catherine Jileco. As parents and parenting writers, we can't
Speaker 1: help but see everything through a parenting lens. But as
Speaker 1: our kids have become adults, we find ourselves more interested
Speaker 1: in getting caught up on movies and streaming than I'm
Speaker 1: going over the same parenting topics over and over.
Speaker 2: So since we're pretty sure we can find parenting wisdom anywhere,
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about what we're watching, what we
Speaker 2: thought about it, and maybe what we can learn from it,
Speaker 2: if only what not to do. Watch and listen along,
Speaker 2: and let's all make like we're doing something important for
Speaker 2: our families.
Speaker 1: Each Wednesday we bring you a watch or rewatch of
Speaker 1: an older entertainment property, and for this week of July
Speaker 1: twenty ninth, we are continuing with Lost. This week we
Speaker 1: are talking about season one, episode four, walk About, an
Speaker 1: episode in which, hmm, we get to thinking, maybe there's
Speaker 1: something about this island we don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, couples, a couple somethings.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so I knowing going in knowing. Actually from
Speaker 1: the first episode, it was such a kick to see
Speaker 1: Terry O'Quinn acting Locke thinking wtf, right, and yet nobody
Speaker 1: knows at that point what why he's that way. But yeah,
Speaker 1: you imagine just you know, you're in this horrible crash
Speaker 1: and you realize, hey, how about that, I can move
Speaker 1: my legs now?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: So yeah, all this that was quite the reveal.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, all this time he's just been like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I know something y'all don't know, and.
Speaker 3: I will be sharing it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I just forgot watching this episode that they
Speaker 1: left it to the very last second to get that reveal,
Speaker 1: and they let you a lot of what is this
Speaker 1: guy's deal in the meantime? Yeah, as you're seeing him
Speaker 1: being such a tough guy with his knives and his
Speaker 1: bore wrangling skills, and then you see him being such
Speaker 1: an ineffectual nothing in the flashbacks, right, and then oh
Speaker 1: well he's I see the island has changed him a bit,
Speaker 1: has it not?
Speaker 3: Soon?
Speaker 1: That's really nice acting from Terry O'Quinn on all the
Speaker 1: different levels, levels that we know about and levels that
Speaker 1: we don't, and right, right, and then that eventually that
Speaker 1: they don't and we do. Interesting and he apparently has
Speaker 1: some sort of encounter with the Invisible Monster that he's
Speaker 1: not going to be about yet, right, and.
Speaker 4: He comes back with a bore which unclear if it
Speaker 4: was the baby or the mom. Yeah, because he was
Speaker 4: talking about how you know, if the ones we saw
Speaker 4: were just the baby, it's so right.
Speaker 1: So but whatever he brought, he brought home the bacon
Speaker 1: quite literally. But Charlie caught a fish. It didn't look
Speaker 1: like a fish. You would have gotten that close to shore.
Speaker 1: So I don't know where the proper right that came from,
Speaker 1: but you go, man, However, it looks like all these
Speaker 1: drugs are gone.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's gonna be a problem.
Speaker 1: Yes, I on the parenting point of view, I just
Speaker 1: my heart went out to Jack. Wasn't he just like
Speaker 1: a mom? Because you were doing a million things to
Speaker 1: like everybody and safe, and people are going, hey, maybe you.
Speaker 2: Want to give a little speech.
Speaker 1: Hey maybe you want to go talk to her. Hey,
Speaker 1: maybe you want to do this, you want to do that?
Speaker 3: She's like something.
Speaker 1: Everybody take a nap in a moment.
Speaker 4: Exactly, Mom needs a minute.
Speaker 5: You guys, really, you're all adults. You can do things yourselves.
Speaker 5: Do I have to do everything exactly just because I
Speaker 5: step forward and say, hey, I'll do it right, this
Speaker 5: is the problem.
Speaker 2: Sure, he was like enjoying his sitting with Rose, just.
Speaker 3: Because all he had to do was sit.
Speaker 1: I was thinking about a really long time. How are
Speaker 1: they all surviving there without him? How is nobody to buy?
Speaker 1: And said Jack, we need we have a list of
Speaker 1: fifty crises for you to handle, could you right?
Speaker 4: Strolling back waiting for waiting for Claire to go into labor.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh and then the uh that that little speech at
Speaker 1: the end, memorializing the dead made you think, what do
Speaker 1: I have in my belongings?
Speaker 3: Anybody he could use.
Speaker 1: To put together a better eulogy for me than she
Speaker 1: wore corrective lenses corrective lens.
Speaker 2: Right, she was from Teck, New Jersey.
Speaker 1: Everybody talk a little something personally next to your driver's license,
Speaker 1: just in case, a little speak somebody to give for you. Well,
Speaker 1: and Rose thinks her husband is still alive, that there's
Speaker 1: another part of the plane somewhere.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And.
Speaker 1: ABC executive was going, oh, really, another part of the
Speaker 1: plane somewhere, You say, hmm. They put that line in
Speaker 1: the script just just in case you got to hit here,
Speaker 1: you guys, and we need to explore, just just go
Speaker 1: the plans is here, probably means nothing.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, I winced when I heard that.
Speaker 2: I mean, she did kind of have a point, like, well,
Speaker 2: they think.
Speaker 3: We're a dead right, so.
Speaker 4: To say, there's some other little island somewhere with the
Speaker 4: other hat.
Speaker 1: That's right, and they are holding a bonfire for us,
Speaker 1: and yeah, you know, well not so much a bonfire
Speaker 1: as a peer. What do you call that pire? Yeah,
Speaker 1: burning bodies fire right, roast some war over that, and uh,
Speaker 1: when you're stuck on an island, your babysit sitting choices
Speaker 1: are limited. You have to go with the lady who
Speaker 1: only speaks Korean? Does that?
Speaker 2: I mean, buddy, there's many other people there.
Speaker 4: I guess he feels like he has some kind of
Speaker 4: connection with her because he saw her naked.
Speaker 2: Like, what what are you doing?
Speaker 3: I don't understand. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: She just seems nice. I guess she looked kind of
Speaker 1: big in her sweater cardigan.
Speaker 4: Yes, I thought that was funny, Like, of all these people, Well,
Speaker 4: it's what is the can you say the law of.
Speaker 3: Economy of characters? Exactly?
Speaker 1: Yes, you can't. We can't take one of those extras
Speaker 1: because then we'd have to pay him extra. It has
Speaker 1: to be one of the core cast. Pick pick somebody
Speaker 1: from this limited Here is your Listen Kate's Kate's going
Speaker 1: out boar hunting, and uh, Clara's busy planning the memorial
Speaker 1: and Shannon, No, don't leave him with Shannon.
Speaker 3: No, don't do that.
Speaker 1: Probably the person who speaks no English is a better
Speaker 1: choice than that. But I mean he could have just
Speaker 1: left her with left him with Rose. He wasn't gonna
Speaker 1: be any trouble just sitting there, right, Can.
Speaker 2: You just sit here next to her?
Speaker 3: Don't don't move unless she moves?
Speaker 1: Okay, Oh dear, you know what you make the best
Speaker 1: of what you got.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm. And what you've got is gored by a.
Speaker 2: Bore my end. Michael, there you go.
Speaker 1: So you're trying to go out and impress your son
Speaker 1: and instead get a tusk to the thigh.
Speaker 2: Yes, oh man, Yes.
Speaker 1: And then let's see Sawyer is continuing to be just
Speaker 1: the baddest and most annoying dude possible. Right, I hope
Speaker 1: I'm not spoiling you for anything thing by saying it's
Speaker 1: going to be more dimensionus to that guy, No, what
Speaker 1: shocking takes a right? And uh sayid is doing all
Speaker 1: sorts of mechanical stuff that I don't understand, and night
Speaker 1: Kate unhealthily drops his contraption from the tree when the
Speaker 1: Invisible Monster goes by.
Speaker 3: R and is now in trouble.
Speaker 1: Oh. Yes, she didn't give them any excuses. She just
Speaker 1: gave them the broken things. She could have said, Hey.
Speaker 3: I know, she could have said, like, look up.
Speaker 1: In a tree trying to plant your stupid device when
Speaker 1: I was almost killed by whatever they heck that thing
Speaker 1: is right, But no, she's just like, oops, here you go.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't understand that either.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she could have. She could have it provided more explanation,
Speaker 1: I think, But maybe it just goes without saying that
Speaker 1: if something breaks on the island, it's because supernatural forces
Speaker 1: uh intervened are about yep, I don't want them finding
Speaker 1: the transmission. Do you remember the first time through if
Speaker 1: you were surprised by the reveal, Yeah.
Speaker 3: Because I was.
Speaker 2: I mean I never figure that kind of stuff out.
Speaker 1: But they were really really good about You just think
Speaker 1: he is just this ineffectual, poor little gray person who
Speaker 1: is never going to make anything of his life and
Speaker 1: gets this idea that he's going to do this ridiculous
Speaker 1: thing right, and then oh, at that last minute reveal
Speaker 1: is like, w so much stuff you know now falls
Speaker 1: into place. Yeah, so just uh, really well done. I
Speaker 1: mean the first thing where you see and then the
Speaker 1: flashback and he's talking like he's in the military, and
Speaker 1: then it turns out in the case he's playing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he thinks he's going to go on a walk about,
Speaker 1: which is conveniently why he had the knives. So yeah,
Speaker 1: really cool, really well yeah, and sort of the start
Speaker 1: of the real story of the island, which is, well,
Speaker 1: I guess we already had the invisible Monster, but you know,
Speaker 1: stuff ain't right right, Sure, isn't just a beach right,
Speaker 1: All sorts of stuff is gonna go down. It's funny
Speaker 1: seeing how we've discussed how many characters there are, how
Speaker 1: they try so hard to service everybody. I mean, Boone
Speaker 1: just like walked across the screen like three or four
Speaker 1: times getting something for somebody. We have nothing to do
Speaker 1: with you this week's Son, So we're just every now
Speaker 1: and then you're gonna fetch something, okay.
Speaker 3: And yell at hit who usually deserves being yelled.
Speaker 1: Because she has nothing to do really but to stand
Speaker 1: around and yell. And maybe that's why Son wound up
Speaker 1: being the babysitter because it's like, oh no, we have
Speaker 1: nothing for her. Okay, what can she do?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 3: Well she yeah, here we go. It's hard.
Speaker 1: I know, there's a lot of people, a lot of action,
Speaker 1: but still a lot of people. I think they're gonna
Speaker 1: send an extra person into the jungle. There was supposed
Speaker 1: to be three people to distract and then look.
Speaker 3: I know I thought that that was not enough.
Speaker 1: They has scraped up another actor who wants an action scene?
Speaker 2: Come on, yeah, I didn't get that, Like.
Speaker 1: I don't want to be the one that gets killed
Speaker 1: early on?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: Contract?
Speaker 2: Interesting?
Speaker 1: So what is the uh what is the title for
Speaker 1: the next episode?
Speaker 2: Let's see the.
Speaker 1: Next episode is white Rabbit? I think that maybe a
Speaker 1: Charlie episode, or it might be Jack. Could be Jack? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Jack is Also we should mention seeing a guy in
Speaker 1: a black seating in the jungle. Yes, and it's.
Speaker 3: Very clean, white shoes.
Speaker 1: Yes, so you know he hasn't been Yes, you know
Speaker 1: around and of course you run into he runs into
Speaker 1: the jungle and nobody's there. So is he losing it?
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, what happens if Jack's losing it?
Speaker 3: Mom can't lose it.
Speaker 1: That's right, Mom's got a hold it together. U.
Speaker 3: Let's see.
Speaker 1: Yes, the next one is a Jack flashback episode and
Speaker 1: about darn time. What is that guy's deal?
Speaker 2: Is he always disorganized?
Speaker 1: Is he always h the one in charge?
Speaker 3: Capable? And who is that guy he's.
Speaker 1: Seeing in the jungle? Is it just a random dude?
Speaker 1: Somebody he's saying? What the heck is that person doing here?

Speaker 1: Done it just? Oh? Is that another survivor?
