LOST 03/28/07 "Exposé"

[Taelorn76]

The more I think about it, the more I wonder if Sawyer knew they were just paralyzed and if he dropped shards of broken glass into their tomb? Also, if they do crawl out, I wonder what things they might have overheard while lying around and presumed dead?

Well Nikki heard Charlie confess to Sun, and Sun confront Sawyer and tell him she is not telling Jin about the kidnapping.

I still say they are dead and gone.

I did think it was funny that after they put the blankets over them to cover the bodies, Vincent comes by and removes it, like telling them HEY dumba$$ they're not dead.

Then so much became implausible. They found the plane first but told no one about it? They found the other hatch and told no one about it. It's hard for me to believe that after 3 weeks on an island eating fish and "whatever is caught" that your biggest worry would be diamonds you can't spend anywhere. And it seemed like such an elaborate plan to steal diamonds, considering the guy murdered seemed to have been far richer.

Well apparently these two were not good ones. They were flat out murderers. Also uncut diamonds are damn near impossible to trace IRRC, so take the easy 8 mil and leave the rest. If they stole other things from they, IE money, it would raise more suspicion. This way the old dude dies of natural causes.

Wow, I loved this episode. I thought it was the best all season (which isn't really saying much, but...). Sure, it was a "throwaway", but I thought it was a very entertaining hour of throwaway television. I'll take that over an "important" episode that focuses on the mind-numbingly boring Others any day.

Yeah it was a nice show, just wasn't lost. It felt like i was watching a different show, a spinoff sort of.

WTF did I just watch? A Paolo and Nikki episode? Paolo and Nikki? Who then get buried alive at the end? And they throw in Billy Dee Williams just for good measure? It smells of desperate and stupid writers...

The only good thing about that episode was seeing Arzt (who, indeed, was too smart for the rest of the morons on the island), and the fact (as RangerWickett points out above) that Paolo and Nikki were willing to, you know, explore (even though the nincompoops still didn't tell - or even react - to the fantastic things they saw. Yeah, right).

I'm still shaking my head.

Arzt.

 

[GoodKingJayIII]

That was never an option. [Arzt] was way to smart for his character to continue. If someone inteligent had started asking the right questions there wouldn't be a show.

He couldn't have been that smart; he's the one that got blown up!

 

[el-remmen]

I like it.

I felt it was worth it if only for the view of Ben and Juliet pre-kidnapping of Jack and the others. . .

 

[Sir Brennen]

As for personal observations, I'm just going to say I liked this episode the first time, when it was a Tales from the Crypt story.

Ah, c'mon. Tales from the Crypt stole it from half-a-dozen Alfred Hitchcock stories before it.

I thought the episode was interesting in that there was a lot of audience winking in this one, like Sawyer's repeated "Who ARE you?"

Also, am I right in remembering the visit to the Pearl station last season *did* include Nikki and Paulo going along, complete with Paulo using the bathroom? So maybe we can have hopes again that things aren't being entirely made up as they go along, and there will be other such (possibly unexpected) payoffs down the road...

Or maybe bumping off Nikki was the Lost writer's way of satisfying the desire of many people for the death of another character named Nikki on a different television series.

You are correct - it really did happen (and in that, there was definitely a cute little payoff).
