Wow! I loved this episode when I really didn't think I was going to. Who cared about Nikki and Paolo? But they recreated so much from the beginning I was very happy! Plus, any Billie D. Williams cameo is good! How about you? How did you like it? Let's try to get this Talk About thing rocking, shall we? Head over to the Comments and start it up!Exposé

Television Without Pity Recap
ReplyDeleteRandom New Girl on the Island a.k.a. Nikki stumbles out of the woods and into the middle of Hurley and Sawyer's ping-pong game. She drops to the ground muttering about her new starring role on the American version of Footballer's Wives. Sawyer and Hurley gather the Lostaways to solve the mystery. They rush into the jungle only to find Random New Guy Whose Name I Never Learned (a.k.a. Paolo) lying dead in the middle of the path. Since neither had any obvious signs of trauma, their deaths are a mystery that can only be solved by a massive dose of flashbacks.
Turns out that Nikki and Paolo are diamond thieves, murderers, and general nogoodniks. They killed some old guy back in Australia and stole his diamonds. After the plane crash they spent all their time looking for the carry-on bag with the diamonds, which totally explains why we didn't see them for two and a half seasons. See? It all makes sense! Anyway, as all Lost fans know, Craphole Island no like-y thieving nogoodnik murderers. Once Nikki realizes that Paolo found the diamonds and hadn't told her about it, she is determined to get them back. When Sawyer (in a rare moment of clear-headedness) won't give her a gun she does what any sensible Girl Scout would do: she uses a rare paralyzing spider to knock him out and steal the diamonds. But then she gets bitten by one of the spider's friends! Wait. Paralyzing spider? That means they're paralyzed! They're not dead! They're not dead! Well, maybe now they are.
And Shannon, Boone? We don't really miss you.
I really really enjoyed the return to the beach at the beginning of the show as a flashback. Wow, what a great idea. See all our friends again as they were when we first met them!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to say that I was sadly disappointed in this past show - which I just finished watching last night. I felt like it was a TOTAL filler episode. Granted the ending made me take back my "what a wasted episode" comment - huge spook factor - but still! Come on guys! We can't have an episode like last weeks and then have this random, who-cares, repetitive, plot stalling, meet these new people who you'll never see again, episode. It's just mean. Don't forget, there is an old man in a closet that has to be dealt with!
