Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBecause the characters of Nikki and Paulo had to be convincingly incorporated into the plane crash scene featured in the pilot, the editing crew meticulously watched hours of original footage to determine where additional scenes could be placed, which camera angles had not been used before, and which characters could be used for additional shots. The original beach set (still largely intact) was revisited and additional shots with Nikki, Paulo, and several original cast members were filmed. In some instances, acting was performed in front of a green-screen to incorporate the actors in existing (unused) footage. The resulting scene is a seamless cut of old, new and altered shots.
- GoofsIn Season 2 Episode 21 (? (2006)) (about 28 minutes in), when the group finds the doors to the Pearl Station, it takes Eko and Locke both to open each of the two doors.
When another group returns to the Pearl Station (in Season 3 Episode 5 The Cost of Living (2006), 25 minutes in), Sayid and Desmond repeat the process of opening the doors.
In this episode, (Season 3 Episode 14, about 24 minutes into the program), Paulo has entered the Pearl Station alone to hide the diamonds, he hides as he hears Ben and Juliet enter the station, and Ben comments "Who left [the doors] open?" We must assume that when Ben and Juliet left, they closed the doors behind them, leaving Paulo inside. If it took two people to open the doors from the outside, how do we expect one person standing on a ladder in a vertical shaft to open the doors from the inside?

Featured review
I liked this one. Really I did.
I'm surprised "Expose" has an overall rating of 8 considering it's tradionally poked fun at.
Now, does any review written more than 10 years after a show has ended really need to classify it with "spoilers"?
Anyway, I always liked this episode. Viewers agreed with Artz (before he blew up) that there are others....not those others...on the island besides our group of heroes. TV logistics says that we can't have 40+ characters on a show. So there's our group plus some random people in the background. "Expose" shows us that these random people also have background stories too.
Enter Nikki and Paulo. Perhaps trying to make them somewhat relevant only to kill them off was sorta weird, but we finally got to see that there were other folks with their own stories to tell.
So I liked this one. Really, I did.
