"Time to let go."
But not just yet! This week, we delve into a story of monsters and men. "Hearts and Minds" revisits some already classic themes, but it also has some surprising connections to a character we will not meet for three more seasons...
15 years after the show first aired, the genius of Giacchino has many secrets yet to be uncovered. In the coming weeks, I will be exploring Michael Giacchino's soundtrack from ABC's LOST in a weekly video, covering the episodes of the show and their musical connections to each other.

On ABCs #LOST, the survivors of Oceanic flight 815 were connected long before the day their plane crashed. Its almost like they were destined to cross paths and, eventually, change each others lives forever. As the 20th anniversary of LOST nears and the show increases in popularity, Ive noticed first-time viewers are usually shocked to learn about many of the character connections that occurred in the flashbacks. Me - Im shocked that no one has ever attempted to make a video, breaking down all of these connections!
There are specific connections I did not include, namely:
- Airport connections: Many of the shows characters cross paths at the airport, which seems like less of a coincidence, since theyre literally are all there for the same reason: to board the same flight to the same destination. I had to draw a line somewhere. [Yes, the Eko/Libby scene is a cheat on my part.]
- Orchestrated meetings: Characters like Widmore, Hawking and Jacob nudge destiny just a little by purposefully orchestrating certain events and meetings, fully aware of future events. Additionally, Widmore is not just a man, but a brand. With all love to Kate and Rachel, I did not include every time a character uses a Widmore Corporation pregnancy test just to show how they are connected to Desmond.
