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!

    • Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls by Fiza Ali Meta has announced Threads crossing a major milestone of 500 million monthly active users. And, at the heart of this growth sits something simple: communities. From books to basketball, parenting to music, Threads says its rise has been powered by people clustering around shared interests and, in turn, giving the platform its identity. In response, the platform is expanding its Communities feature beyond beta and introducing a set of new tools designed to make participation easier and more engaging. A redesigned Communities Hub will now appear in the main navigation menu, allowing users to jump between groups without leaving their feed. Each community will also receive a distinct Community Icon, giving them clearer visual identity and making them easier to recognise across the platform. Then there’s Community Progress, which is a kind of live gauge showing how close a topic is to becoming a full-fledged community, alongside guidance on how users can contribute to its development. In addition, Meta is also expanding its Community Champions programme, recognising more users who actively contribute to community engagement. And then things go more local; Local Communities is already available in 100 countries, including North America, South America, Asia, and Europe but are now rolling out with native-language tags starting in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The platform is also expanding Live Chats to more communities in the coming weeks, adding features such as co-hosting and the ability to quote moments directly into users’ feeds. Beyond communities, Meta is tightening the loop between users and their feeds. Earlier this year came "Dear Algo," a feature that lets people tell Threads what they want more or less of. Now it’s being paired with a new tool, "Your Algo." It allows people to adjust how frequently certain topics appear, with options lasting one, three, or seven days. Meta says these preferences remain private and can be managed alongside “Dear Algo” in a unified settings hub. The rollout begins in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Finally, the company says these changes are part of an ongoing effort to refine Threads based on user feedback and that further updates will continue as the platform evolves.
    • You pay just $100 per TB with this rare 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD deal by Sayan Sen SSDs and GPUs are incredibly hard to get nowadays due to high pricing. Discounts are quite rare which is why we report on them as soon as we spot a good deal. For example AMD's new 9070 GRE was finally up for sale at a very good price of just $500 thanks to a special coupon. Sadly that deal is gone but if you happen to be looking for a 4TB NVMe SSD and can spend around $400 there is a really good offer on sale that you should not miss out on as TeamGroup's 4TB G50 model is on sale for that that price which means you are only paying $100 per TB, a very good deal in the current market (purchase link under the specs table down below). The TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe SSD is a PCIe Gen4 drive and as such it promises to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s, helping accelerate game loading, file transfers, and everyday computing tasks. Since this is a 4TB drive you can use it for a gaming library to take advantage of things like DirectStorage. The SSD features an InnoGrit controller and SLC caching technology to support consistent performance. An ultra-thin, patented graphene heatsink is included to aid in heat dissipation.

    • I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.
