One of the first thing I said about Lost is that the jungle has no insects or snakes or anything like that... So you'd never really be able to get away with spending the night on the jungle without somd sort of protection... Then we find out they do exist and paralyse you...

It was too far into the story to be introducing more survivors of the flight. People just couldn’t buy it. It turns out the writers realized this before any episodes even aired and were working on their exit plan. This was it!

Lots of twists and turns that I wasn’t expecting (like the fact that Nikki and Paulo knew all about the plane/ hatch/ others and just said nothing!!! So selfish!).

It just seemed to be such an obvious filler and Paulo and Nikki always seemed like an add on rather than an integral part of the programme which seemed so unnecessary when there were so many other plot lines on the go. However I am much more tolerant this time around and although I'm glad they are gone the episode was OK to watch.Lesley https://www.blogger.com/profile/13632179050368431603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20542067.post-44227943500552777842018-12-06T17:03:27.700-05:002018-12-06T17:03:27.700-05:00Tricia Tanaka Is Dead is my absolute favourite low...Tricia Tanaka Is Dead is my absolute favourite low-stakes episode too, and it's so much more satisfying to watch knowing that his Mystery Machine van ended up being a vital part of the rescue mission in the season finale as well.

I don't care how bad they were, hell Nikki even seem genuinely moved when Paolo admitted he was scared of losing her and they died on the brink of what might've been a proper reconciliation. They certainly weren't evil enough to deserve being buried alive.

Clearly, I was not correct. At the time, there had been months and months of "hating" those characters. And the writers knew the minute they saw them on screen that this experiment wasn't working.
