Lanterns Episode 7 is here, and the Mostly Superheroes crew is going deep on the penultimate episode before the Season 1 finale.

Logan Janis is joined by friends for a full-spoiler discussion about Hal Jordan, Jon Stewart, the Manhunters, Sinestro, Mogo, the mysterious planet, the Green Lantern ring, and the many questions Lanterns still needs to answer before Episode 8.

Then the conversation goes full Marvel as we break down the Avengers: Endgame Encore, the changed ending, Loki, Steve Rogers, the multiverse, Doctor Doom, Robert Downey Jr., and what the Russo Brothers may be setting up for Avengers: Doomsday.

And we go even deeper into the X-Men — including X-Men ’97 Season 2, Apocalypse, Gambit, Nightcrawler, Magneto, Jean Grey, Mr. Sinister, Wolverine, Spider-Man and what the future of the live-action X-Men could look like.

Full spoilers. Full theories. No talking down to the everyday viewer.

LOST WITH LOGAN begins! Logan Janis launches a brand-new Mostly Superheroes rewatch series covering all 121 episodes of Lost — one episode at a time, with full-series spoilers, live reactions, trivia, behind-the-scenes facts, and a running attempt to track what the show actually answers.

In Season 1, Episode 1 — “Pilot, Part 1,” we return to the crash of Oceanic Flight 815 and the introduction of Jack, Kate, Locke, Hurley, Sawyer, Charlie, Claire, Sayid, Shannon, Boone, Jin, Sun, Michael, Walt, Rose and the rest of the survivors.

This episode also establishes the Lost With Logan Answer Tracker, which we'll carry from episode to episode: what mysteries, questions and claims have been answered, what remains unresolved, and what we learn along the way.

Episode score: IMDb rating discussed in the show: 9.1/10. Lost With Logan Answer Tracker: Not yet formally scored in Episode 1 — this episode establishes the tracking system so we can maintain the numbers consistently going forward rather than inventing a score after the fact. The show specifically discusses tracking what is answered and unanswered across the series.

• Oceanic Flight 815 crashes on an unknown island.

• The two-hour pilot reportedly had a $12 million production budget.
• The transcript identifies several production and casting facts, including the original plan for Jack to be killed and Michael Keaton being considered for Jack.
• The original pilot would have been substantially different, with Kate becoming the primary leader if Jack had died.
• The episode contains the first major appearance of the mysterious monster/smoke threat.
