Who are Paolo and Nikki?
28 March 2007
Warning: Spoilers
This episode totally blew me away. There have been questions about the new cast, that are not a part of the "others" on lost and how they really fit into the story and their whereabouts from the time when they first crashed on the island. This episode of Lost explained the lives of two characters who had not been seen since the first episode and all of a sudden were made to be foreground characters or around some of the main characters whom we already knew about in the show. Paolo and Nikki seemed so suspicious when they were brought into the foreground of the storyline with really no explanation at all. I loved how this episode summarized their whereabouts since crashing on the mysterious island and their stories. The funny thing was when Sawyer asked, "Who are you?" or "Who is Nikki and Paolo?" For most of the time I was asking the same exact questions since they appeared and it also kind of puts the assumption that since all these people are on the same island, it is not obvious that they all know each other. The end had me wishing that it had been written in a different way because there was a crime unknowingly committed that could have been prevented if the communication line from Nikki had had some close attention paid to it. I cannot wait to see if the crime shall ever be exposed and what will be the consequences, if any, to the islanders involved. I also liked how the islanders involved in the show's story had like a "CSI-esque" manner especially when Hugo was telling Sawyer that he was tampering with evidence and Sawyer scouring the area around them. There were many light jokes in the episode and a long time mystery was solved. Sun had a very great mystery solved for her although it left her with some animosity toward the people whom she had assumed were her friends and could never do anything like what happened to her all for a little piece of revenge. All in all I think that the episode did not disappoint.
