already has my vote for greatest episode ever.

'Who the hell is Nikki?'

I liked the Tricia episode tbh. It was pointless but entertaining.

This episode seems to also have a self-contained plot, but it's also entertaining, in a decidedly non-Lost way. I guess thats why Paulo thought he was a god in 300, he survived a plane crash. This is almost like a recap episode haha.

I love how they nonchalantly come across "holy shit" moments.

It seems these two writers have a very different idea of the show than the other writers.

awesome ending. That is a fuck up way to die.

"And who the hell are you?"

They should have had Paulo sound like Xerxes

The ending was hilarious.

wow, that was some ending. that was one fantastic ending. Excellent episode. wow..... Thought they were gonna pop up before being completely buried. Nikki looked amazing. I loved seeing Boone and Shannon. I miss seeing Maggie Grace on here

I don't think it's necessarily over for that character.

Stellar ending.

Would've been a strong episode if those two actors weren't so lousy.

Didn't see that ending coming at all. Way to go Lost, way to go.

Someone saw the Twilight Zone before writing this one.

And why all the misdirection about Paulo? Not even close.

so Boone was gay?

I hope that's it for Paulo and Nikki. This was an absolutely pointless episode - it seems like it was mostly to address the question of just who Paulo and Nikki are.

I don't know about anyone else, but I hated the flashbacks to the day the plane crashed when it was painfully obvious that Nikki had either been digitally inserted or scenes reshot entirely to include her and Paulo.

I hope we never see them both again - their characters serve absolutely no purpose whatsoever and the story surrounding them is just ridiculous.

Was kind of funny how pointless these 2 were in the show...seems they were only put it to take up a filler episode like this.

BUT, I still really enjoyed it - like the Trisha Tinaka episode. And as somebody else said, it was really entertaining in a "non-Lost" way.

I love Ben in his grubby outfit.

Well that wasn't a very nice way to die. I assume they won't dig themselves out. I thought it was an okay episode overall.

Ho-ly shit, what an episode!!! Great jokes, great way of storytelling (and retconning), and a really freaky ending. One of my all-time favs!!!

Wow, the show has some balls. I thought for sure they wouldn't actually bury them.

I really liked this episode. Pointless? Pretty much gives final confirmation that the black smoke "monster" creates things/people out of thin air, taken from the thoughts of people on the island.

Also, it did definitely imply that Boone was gay - but, um, wasn't his love for/obsession with Shannon one of the main plot points of season 1? They slept together in Sydney before getting on the plane.

I enjoyed it for what it was, but it was a painfully pointless episode in the grand scheme of things. Especially if they are gone for good.

Characters are terrible, but I'll miss Nikki's tits.

What a horrible way to die!! Gives me the chills thinking about it. Great episode.

KSTP did not air this in HD in Minneapolis, so I was pretty disappointed about that. I liked the episode, though.

Seriously, when it was slipped that this was a Nikki/Paulo episode, how many people thought it would be horrible.

It would have been nice if the walkie talkie would have led to some kind of plot point, though. Maybe it's used in future episodes.
