Razzle Dazzle

So - Paulo and Nicki in Lost. Admittedly, I wasn't initially a fan but this episode would have brought me round to their way of thinking. The show really does suffer from a lack of Shannon and Boone bimbo/himbo characters (and having them back this week was huge bonus) who are really just idiots struggling to come to terms with what's going on. The clever splicing of footage from episodes gone by with new clips to make Paulo and Nicki seem part of the action was excellently done and made me yearn for those old beach-based episodes, while P&N's habit of discovering stuff before the other survivors, but never mentioning it, rings true to the whole inability of anyone on the island to communicate with each other.

And what with the brilliant opening scene (which Lost is now becoming a master of) in which Nicki appeared to be a superhero stripper, but was in fact an actress playing a superhero stripper, it was a bit of a shame when the pair were inadvertently buried alive at the end of the show. In fact, as someone who hates Lost episodes which don't further the plot in anyway (ie the Hurley and the VW van ep), I actually loved Expose - a curious Tale of the Unexpected. But if we don't get some serious answers from Other Town on Sunday, I'm going to get really quite angry.
