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 -

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!

    • Microsoft unveils new Surface Laptop with improved trackpad, Snapdragon X2, and more by Taras Buria Microsoft's new Surface Laptop Ultra generated a lot of buzz earlier this month, but in addition to its most powerful laptop with an NVIDIA chip, Microsoft also has a more affordable laptop lineup, which has been waiting for an update for quite a while. Today, Microsoft announced the eighth-generation Surface Laptop. The new Surface Laptop is powered by the Snapdragon X2 Plus and X2 Elite processors. These chips offer faster CPU performance, up to 58% faster graphics, and 80 TOPS Neural Processing Units (NPUs) for on-device AI processing. Like the previous models, these chips retain their great energy efficiency, and Microsoft says that buyers can expect up to 20 hours of work on a single charge. The laptop is available in two sizes: 13.8-inch and 15-inch. You will have a hard time finding visual differences between the new and previous models, as Microsoft is not taking any major design leaps, except for the new Jade color, which may look familiar to Surface Laptop 5 owners. Other colors include Platinum, Black, and Dune. The 15-inch variant got a higher-resolution display. It is a 3,270 x 2,180 resolution screen with a pixel density of 262 ppi (the 13-inch model has a 201 ppi density) and a maximum brightness of 600 nits SDR and HDR. Unlike the Surface Pro 12th-gen, which is available with optional OLED displays, the Surface Laptop sticks with IPS, a 1,300:1 contrast ratio, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 3:2 aspect ratio. Another notable change in the Surface Laptop 8 is its trackpad. It now provides haptic feedback when you perform various actions in apps and the operating system. It is a relatively new feature that Microsoft brought to Windows 11 in recent updates, and it is only available on certain devices, such as the Logitech MX Master 4, Surface Slim Pen 2, the upcoming Surface Laptop Ultra, and now the Surface Laptop 8. The new Surface Laptop with the new Surface Pro Like its tablet-shaped sibling, the new Surface Laptop is notably more expensive. It starts at a $1,599 for a 13.8-inch configuration with a 256GB SSD and 16GB of RAM. However, in the US, the base model has double the storage while keeping the same price. Available configurations include up to 64GB of memory and up to 2TB SSD (user-removable PCIe Gen4). The Surface Laptop 8 is now available for purchase on the official Microsoft website.
    • Microsoft announces 12th-gen Surface Pro with Snapdragon X2 processors by Taras Buria So far, 2026 has been rich in Surface announcements. Microsoft started with a fresh lineup of Surface for Business devices powered by Intel's new Core Ultra 300 processors. Then the company revealed the Surface Laptop Ultra, its most powerful laptop with NVIDIA's RTX Spark processor. Now, it is time for new Surface Pro and Surface Laptop models with Qualcomm processors. Microsoft's original Copilot+ PCs with Snapdragon X1 chips debuted in late May 2024. Two years later, Microsoft is finally updating the lineup with new models featuring Snapdragon X2 processors. The 12th-gen Surface Pro continues the well-established formula of Microsoft's flagship tablet, and Microsoft is not even changing colors, as the tablet will be available in three colors: Dune, Black, and Platinum. The most important changes are mostly hidden inside. Microsoft switched from the Snapdragon X1 to the new Snapdragon X2, which promises up to 53% faster graphics performance than the previous generation and up to 15.5 hours of battery life. The built-in NPU is also much more powerful, and it can run at up to 80 TOPS for on-device AI processing. Like before, the new Surface Pro is available with a 13-inch IPS display, and Microsoft is still offering OLED as a separate, more expensive configuration. Speaking of configurations, the Surface Pro will be available with a 10-core Snapdragon X2 Plus or a 12-core Snapdragon X2 Elite. Microsoft expanded the available RAM configurations to 64GB (previously 32GB was the maximum), while storage remains unchanged at 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of user-replaceable PCIe Gen4 SSDs. The new Surface Pro and the Surface Laptop Other specs remain mostly unchanged. The computer has the same 1440p Windows Hello webcam, two USB4 ports for charging, data, and display output, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 support, dual speakers, and compatibility with Surface Pro Signature and Flex keyboards. With that said, there is one very important aspect of the Surface Pro that changed significantly, and it is the price. While the previous-gen Surface Pro launched at $999 for the base configuration, in 2026, the entry-level Surface Pro with Snapdragon X2, 16GB of memory, and 256GB will set you back an eye-watering $1,499. To sweeten the pill, Microsoft is running a limited-time promotion where Surface Pro buyers can get a free Surface Pro 13-inch Keyboard. The promo runs from June 16 through June 30. The new Surface Pro is available now on the official Microsoft Store website.
