More fun things to know and share, courtesy of lost.cubit.net:
On the slate that ends Corvette's/Nikki's Exposé death scene towards the beginning of the show, the name of the director is Stephen Williams; Stephen Williams also happens to be the guy who directed this very episode.
Back in "Flashes Before Your Eyes," freeze frames of the soccer game Desmond watched provided an easter egg bonanza: the sideboards on the soccer field included advertisements for Apollo candy bars, The Hanso Foundation, Oceanic Airlines, a radio station on 103.5 (103+5=108), Buddies Diapers, Gannon car rentals (the brochure seen both in Sawyer's hand during Locke's vision and in Jessica's hand on Heroes), Mr. Cluck's Chicken Shack... and Exposé.

So, Nikki and Paolo heard all of Charlie's and Sawyer's secrets. Although I like the creepiness of them being buried alive, I think I'd like it that someone unburies them before they suffocate. Who do you think would be likely to go after the diamonds?

So, did anybody else get that Vincent knew they were still alive, and that's why he uncovered their bodies? He really is the mastermind behind this whole island . . . . And the "things don't stay buried on this island" comment really makes me think they'll get out of the graves, somehow. I freakin' loved this episode. I need to watch it again, since I fell asleep in the middle of it last night (not because it was bad, I was just really sleepy ).

Why wasn't Sawyer and Charlie's con job exposed when Ana-Lucia and Sayid discovered that Charlie had a gun in "The Whole Truth"?

Okay, I know I haven't been here in ages, and maybe I've lost my posting privileges, but this episode got me so ticked off that I have to vent.
Yes, I agree with all of you that it was highly entertaining -- a great "stand-alone" episode. That being said, my real reaction is WTF??? The whole flippersmackin' episode is about two nobodies? Two characters that have barely been on the radar since they were introduced? And now they're dead? Why did the show's PTB's even bother? How the f--- did that episode move the plot forward? What "new" information do we have about questions we've been trying to get answered since Season 1? That was episode 14! We've got what, 8 episodes left? And all we learned from this episode was that Benry was spying on the Losties from the Pearl Station? PLEASE! Gimme a break!
I'm so frustrated with this show (as I've gathered many of you are) that I almost don't care about it any more. It's as if the show's creators thought that they could give us an entire episode of cotton candy -- delicious while you're eating it, and then you realize how completely unsatisfied you are. What a colossal waste of talent -- and of the viewers' time -- this episode was.
Regards all around.

Hmmm. Murder mystery . . . what a not-coincidence. Boy has some books. Last week, or maybe the week before, he was reading "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand. (Or maybe another book by Ayn Rand. Definitely one of hers, though.) Makes me think the Island is either directing him toward books or is taking tips from what he's reading.

Who do you think would be likely to go after the diamonds? Hmmmm. Normally I'd say Sawyer, but he was the one who tossed them. On the other hand, it would be a good con to toss the gems in, then go and dig them up again so that people thought you didn't have them and really you did.

If I am certain about only one thing, it is that Vincent indeed is the true Island mastermind. ;D ;D I really liked it too. So fun to see Shannon and Boone and Artz and so on.

Laura [/color][/quote] Hey, Laura!! A technopagen could probably tell you your password and/or reset it, I'll bet. If you can't remember or find it. Basically someone more skilled than I. I can certainly understand frustration for folks who want more answers. I'm watching the show for the adventure and the sex-ay and the WTF or OMGPOLARBEARFOURTOES moments, so I tend not to be bummed if there aren't lots of answers in an ep. The funnest bit about this ep for me was what I'm now calling the "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead" element. Where we get to see the main characters we're used to, furiously acting away in scenes that we already know, that we've already seen, but through the eyes of minor characters who have a very different perspective.

Hi Laura! Now, tell us what you really think. While I don't share your frustations, I understand them and think they are valid. I think the difference is that I don't view the story with a master list of questions to be answered. I view it like a novel with many, many plots and subplots. That's one thing we found out in this episode is that someone else (Paolo) saw the monster, or what he described as 'like a monster' (can't remember the exact words) in the water. We have slowly been given clues as to what the monster is and who The Others are and what they are up to. I suspect when we find the answer to those 2 mysteries, the series will be over, or close to being over. I loved Paolo's and Nikki's flashbacks because it gave us a different perspective to what had happened to the Losties. And we found out that they've been on the island for 75 days, and that the minor characters all have secrets yet to be discovered.

That would be a twist that would make sense.

Teaser Nikki. Running, running. Searching, searching. Stripping, stripping. WTF? Am I on the right channel? Oh, they were filming a movie. LOL. Oh, that's Billy Dee Williams. Awesome. You don't have to die; we can bring you back next season. How? Meta. Bullet proof breast. Wish Shannon and Ana-Lucia and Libby had some of those. Who is this white haired actor? He looks familiar. Ah, filming in Sydney. Sawyers still trying to win at ping pong. Dude, she's dead. How the hell's Nikki? It's going to be one of those episodes, I can see.
