Expose (S:3,E:14)
1) I guess this episode made up for even bringing the two characters into play. In the end, they did nothing, they added nothing and they effected nothing. This was the writers of the show basically saying they screwed up by writing those characters in, and consequently wrote them out. They never even had anything to do with the mystery of the island. Though we did hear the cloud when Nikki poisoned Paulo. She looked around as if she saw something. Overall, the episode had some interesting parts, but was overall a snore-fest. Literally. On three occasions I woke up and had to rewind the DVR.
2) Among other characters long gone, I liked seeing Ethan. Although we knew he was there in the beginning acting like a survivor, he seems to pop up at the most random places, and seems very sinister. He told Nikki and Paulo to go inland to find their bag. Was he planning to kidnap them? Were they on the list?
3) One of the posters pointed out an interesting double-meaning. When Nikki tells Paulo, "Promise me we'll never end up like them." She's refering to Shannon and Boone, who were arguing. But, Shannon and Boone died...and while they're officially dead...Nikki and Paulo have pretty much bit it. But, I add this. Locke said "Things don't stay buried on this island." Could it be that someone will discover Nikki and Paulo in time? Now how about this quote. "We poisoned him—let's not poison ourselves." Another line that Nikki told Paulo.
4) Never knew this, but there is a 'Vincent is the monster' theory. The dog?!?! The thinking is that Vincent has been leading people into danger, or finding clues. It has been pointed out that Vincent was the 2nd character we ever see on the show, after Jack. Maybe he's more important than we think. Another poster pointed out the opposite (from the Monster Theory). Maybe he's working against the island. He uncovered Nikki and Paulo, in a last ditch effort to save their lives. Some even ask if he's even a dog. If he's the monster, posing as the dog, then we have a question of whether the monster is working with or against the island.
5) We continue to see Benry's plan unfolding. This time it was in the Pearl hatch, with Juliet, checking out Jack. This doesn't deviate from any theory regarding whether they had Jack brought to the island, or not. But, gives us a little more insight.
6) Billy Dee Williams was the Cobra commander. That's what Hurley was surprised to hear. Why, because Billy Dee was a thought to be a good guy. Is it possible that someone amongst the survivors could be a Cobra among the good guys? Could one of the LOSTies be the one that Ben and the Others refer to as "Him"? In Expose, the Cobra wasn't exposed until after the 4th season. Could that happen in LOST? Some other interesting similarities between the "show" Expose and LOST. Nikki makes a comment on knowing what happens to guest stars.
7) Now to what bothered me the most, and will take some explaining (if they even bother to explain). Paulo saw the others in the Pearl hatch, in a scene which takes place before Benry was caught...yet he tells nobody?!
8) By the way...loved the part where Sawyer referred to Nikki and Paulo as Jabronis. Then he later calls them "Nina and Pablo"
9) Charlotte's Web fans unite!!! Let's see. Spiders. Pigs (when Arzt mentions pigs walking...which is a reference to Animal Farm). Oh, and of course, Mr. Zukerman.
10) Next episode is named "Left Behind" and focuses on this character.

I know most people hated this episode...but I LOVED it. I loved the artistery of the crash scene-reinvented. I loved the new flashbacks with Shannon, Boone, Artz, and the freaky wacky Ethan...and the end scared me to death, even though its been done before ala carrie style...I dont know, i found it artsy and interesting...
thats from parisa, btw ;-)
