   Talkin' Lost Episode 95 - What Kate Does + Resident Evil

   LOST Season 6, Episode 3: “What Kate Does” + RESIDENT EVIL (2026) Review! The final season of Lost continues as we dive into Season 6, Episode 3, “What Kate Does.” With two timelines unfolding, Kate’s journey takes center stage as we revisit her escape from the Ajira flight, her search for Claire, and the choices that continue to define her character. Meanwhile, the mysterious “Sideways” timeline gives us a very different version of Kate as the pieces of this alternate reality begin to take shape. We’ll break down the episode’s biggest moments, character developments, mysteries, connections to the series’ larger mythology, and what “What Kate Does” reveals about where Lost is heading in its final season. Then, we shift from the island to the big screen for a review of Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil (2026), starring Austin Abrams. We’ll discuss the latest cinematic take on Capcom’s iconic survival-horror franchise, including the story, performances, scares, action, atmosphere, connections to the games, and whether Cregger’s vision successfully brings Resident Evil back to its horror roots. Two major pop-culture conversations.
