What would this thread be like without Jedi's over-reacting posts? It's like telling Rappy to not post any spoilers. :laugh:

Oh yeah, great episode. Nice to see Simon Rhee (shopkeeper) get a small role on the show.

I've yet to really find a bad episode on Lost.

Me not post spoilers don't be silly! :p

As for a bad episode of lost...lets just say Rose and Bernards wasn't that interesting and Nikki and Paulo ones are the only ones I have never seen.

Yay I've been waiting for some Rose and Bernard hate from you!

I can't believe you didn't complain about him in this week's episode!

Nikki is HOT though!

I'm sure you think shes a great actress too. :rolleyes:

'Expose' wasn't nearly as bad as some make it seem, but it certainly was the worst episode of Lost. Neither of them were believable, and letting them carry an entire episode was a bad idea. Not to mention the terrible acting that ensued. The best part was the the bad acting that was purposely bad from the filming of the show with Billy Dee Williams was basically the same as the rest of their acting for the rest of the show.

At least Rose and Bernard are average actors at worst.

Who cares they are great actresses when they are HOT?

It's a SHAME when people always demand Great acting, great plot in everything when there still is a Quality side to some things (Like Hotness of an Actress) to ENJOY! :(

Because the hotness doesn't make it worthwhile... the story and acting do.

If I wanna ogle I'll watch a porno or something.

When he was talking to Jin I thought no get off the screen! lets go see the freighter but all credit to him he is alright when Rose isn't around.

There are some hot girls in the series but if its hot you want to see then watch girls gone wild or something :laugh:

You guys are just SO Nitpicky it's Unreasonable! I wouldn't say Nikki is a Horrible actress, but she is not great like Jack, Kate, Locke,etc for sure.

As I said in Smallville thread, One character doesn't make the whole show bad.

God I Hate Nitpicky people!

The girl who played Nikki is not hot. She's not ugly of course, but definitely not hot.

Regardless, I do not watch TV shows and films based on the hottest of an actress. I watched them based on the storyline and the abilities of an actor. I'll even watch a show or film that I'm not interested in based on a particular actor's ability (i.e. No Country for Old Men doesn't interest me, but I plan on seeing it on DVD based on the strong performances in the film).

I wasn't commenting on Nikki's acting, I was commenting on how the hawtness of X, Y, and Z can't make up for other problems. Case in point: Sarah Conner Chronicles.

Or Bionic Woman. The girl who played Jaime in the new one is hot, but the show sucked so I stopped watching it.

Yeah you weren't the only one that stopped watching :laugh:

I loved Veronica Mars because of the quirkyness of the show and yes the added addition is Kristin Bell.

Judging the acting ability of someone is not nitpicking. Nitpicking would be doing something like "Well, shes a great actress but I hate thats shes blonde."

You are correct that one character does not make a show bad. But they can certainly ruin every scene they are in. In Expose, they ruined the entire episode, just as Lana ruins every scene she is in.

Your response will contain the following at least one of the following: 'well then why do you watch', 'I think shes a great actress', 'shes hot', 'why do you have to fight with me'. Don't bother doing any of those, because I've answered them multiple times already.

What everyone is trying to tell you is this: The show quality is most important. The 'hotness' of the characters is second. You view it the other way. When you view it that way, you end up with crap.

You have it wrong!

I always think Quality IS important, but she is just 1 character of many many (at LEAST 10+) characters on the show, I just don't see how it ruins the entire show?

You don't like her (Despite she is Hot) just watch scenes she is NOT in, it's that simple. She doesn't RUN the whole show, or ruins it, by ANY means!

Cuz, there are so many other characters!

Let's not compare Lost to Bionic Woman, there a HUGE difference, Bionic woman is about mostly ONE woman, other characters aren't that central and that actresss is OK, not that Hot IMO.

No one said that Nikki ruined the entire show. They said 'Expose' was a bad episode. It was. And her and Paolo were the main characters of that episode. The rest of the cast didn't appear in it as much as those two did. So yes, Expose and Bionic Woman are similar in that regard, that the main character (for the series for BW and the single episode for Expose) were hot females, but the story and acting was bad.

Edited by episode
No one said Nikki ruined Lost.

Maybe not, but you all acted like One poor episode of Lost can't be tolerated or something. (That's where the Nitpicky comes in)

I never anticipate any shows to have great episodes All the time. If it's Overwhelming great, then it's Good enough!

For a Ensemble-cast show, you are bound to run into characters that just don't interest you. BIG deal! Don't like that episode (Same with Smallville's) Skip! (If you think Majority of episodes on a show isn't good, then maybe STOP watching all together)

That's my POV!

She is Hot! Why she Have to die?

Proof -

She is Hot! Why she Have to die?

Proof -

I don't find that hot :x I find that trampy. That looks trampy IMO.

And she had to die because the vast majority of the fans hated the character and it offered nothing to storyline. That character and Paulo were not part of the Lost universe, they were adding for unknown reasons that didn't matter. They were an afterthought.

Why does she deserve to live? Because she's hot? That's not a good reason at all. And if you're watching the show just because of the females on the show being hot, watch Survivor or some stupid show like that, that doesn't have a storyline and doesn't require the females to be hot.

True Lost fans don't watch lost because the females are hot, we watch Lost for the incredible story and rich character development. We watch with our eyes and brains, not with our penis.

QFT!

I agree, I watch LOST because after each episode I am asking even more questions than before! I just want to find out the answer to all my questions!

But I will admit with Jedi that she is hot, maybe not in that picture as she has the odd lip thing going on, but she is a very attrictive girl :)

I am sorry, but that's such a narrow way of looking at things!

First of all, I want to make Absolutely CLEAR that I don't just watch the show because of Hot females! I certainly LOVE Smart shows that has Great story and rich characters! However, no matter what, Hot females HELPS! I am a Red-blooded Male After ALL! :D

But what's Narrow about you all view is this - So, a character on the show deserved to die just because she isn't liked?

As I said, you are bound to run into characters/people that just don't interest you whether on a show or even in real life (I probably DO NOT interest you much myself, perhaps if you meet ME IRL) That's the way things are.... people are Different and wouldn't necessarily interest each other, period.

That means they HAVE to die? Is Death/Life really that Valueless, even if it's a fiction show?

Comon!!!

I really hate to meet some of "I Don't like you, so you have to die" people out there. :cry:

They were added for no reason, an afterthought. They weren't added to move the story forward, the writers were clearly trying something new by adding characters to the foreground that were supposedly in the background the entire time, which they weren't and that made Paulo and Nikki's story arc stupid and pointless. Those characters weren't needed at all. Period, plain and simple. They added nothing to the story.

You still didn't answer my question: Why does she deserve to live? What value did she or Paulo add to the story to make them a main character on the same level as Kate, Jack, etc? How come you're only mentioning Nikki and not Paulo considering he died at the same time Nikki did? Could it be because he's not a female?

I already Answered you on that!

I think it's interesting to see other characters on the Island. Who they are? What their life was before the island? Are there employees at Best Buy? Target? Are there artists? singers?

Hell, even if a character like Mariah Carey I would Watch it! :p

What they do MAYBE Boring, but doesn't mean an episode or two shouldn't explore them! You really CAN'T expect everybody's life/story interesting to you!

The CONSTANT "I WANT A++ (Quality, Awesome) episode" all the time Mentality here really I don't get it!

You ALL Hate Nikki (And Yes Paulo) So much (Want them Dead) before the writers could have used them for a Bigger purpose they give up because of the Hate!

YES, they are Minor characters, but they don't deserve to die or not seen on the show either!

    • A group made up of dozens of cybersecurity experts, including several well-known veterans of the industry, published an open letter to the U.S. government asking it to lift the export control order on Anthropic’s Fable and Mythos models. According to the open letter, “this action has taken the best models away from [cybersecurity] defenders” who now can’t use the models to find vulnerabilities and make their software and products more secure. “To pull the best capabilities away from defenders without a good reason when our adversaries are rapidly advancing is dangerous,” read the letter. On Friday, the U.S. government ordered Anthropic to limit the export of Fable and Mythos, citing national security concerns, without explaining the specific reasons behind the order, according to Anthropic. In response, the company suspended access to the models to all users worldwide.     https://techcrunch.com/2026/06/15/cybersecurity-vets-protest-dangerous-us-government-ban-on-anthropics-most-powerful-models/
