Last Night's Lost


Wow. I'm not sure whether to love or hate last night's episode.

Nikki and Paulo are presumably dead. Buried alive after they were believed to be dead by the Losties but were really just paralyzed by a spider bite.

That was kinda of cool actually.

Maybe they can still climb out of their graves and add some reason for their presence on the show.

I've missed a few episodes but their flashbacks were completely worthless. Ok, they're jewel thieves, so what does that have to do with any other character or Dharma?

Paulo overhears one conversation between Ben and Juliet that revels nothing other than Paulo's mysterious need to always been on the toilet and why he was always so grumpy. (Poor boy was having nic fits.)

And all the revisited flashbacks with Paulo and Nikki digitally added into scenes from the previous seasons really just pissed me off. Are we that desperate for story lines? Or are we just frantically trying to pull them into the plot before they asked to be killed off?

Were Paulo and Nikki never invited to the Losties meetings? They discovered Eko's brother's plane and the Pearl before the other Losties. It would have been convenient for P&N to speak up about the 2nd hatch when Ethan was hunting them like boar and the 1st hatch was still sealed. Sure they seemed to keep to themselves, but what the hell.

AND...why do the Losties always accuse Sawyer? He had no motive to kill P&N. He hasn't killed any of the Losties. He only mortally wounded Kate's marshal AFTER said marshal asked to be killed.
  • Charlie killed Ethan (an Other).
  • Locke killed Boone.
  • Sun killed an Other.
  • Micheal killed Anna Lucia.
  • Anna Lucia killed Shannon.
Logic would say, suspect John Locke. So what if he's on the other side of the island at the moment!

Charlie, why did you have to tell Sun that you were the one that attacked her so Sawyer could get the guns in Season 2? Desmond won't be able to save you from Jin when he finds out.

I give it a 5/10. I felt sorry for Paulo's character but wasn't sorry to see him go. And if we don't start getting some answers soon, this will be my last season trying to figure this story out.

I forgot...there was special guest star appearance from Billy Dee Williams. Sweet.
