Lost 3.14 "Expose"

I believe this is correct. The plane fell on top of the hatch long before “Henry Gale” ever showed up, IIRC.

Actually, I think the sequence of events is:

1. Nikki and Paulo find plane in tree but don’t do anything

2. Locke and Boone find plane in tree, Boone climbs into it and gets killed when the plane falls

3. Paulo returns to the Pearl and hides the diamonds. While there, Ben and Juliet
   enter the Pearl and notice it open but blame Tom. Ben tells Juliet to tell Tom to push the plane over the hatch.

4. Presumably Tom does as requested. This is the one scene we don’t see.

5. Locke and Eko return to the plane site, move the plane and find the Pearl hatch, not realizing that half the population of the island already knows about it.

And as an aside, about 7 days after 3 above, Danielle introduces Benry to Sayid. So he knew about the other hatch and he knew who was in it before he ever showed up. And he already had Michael (at least psychologically) and knew he could use him to get the others. Was his capture planned? Is he in cahoots with Danielle? Shooting him to “prove” he’s not with her seems like typical Other cover–Michael shot himself. Then there was the shooting at the Flame. Hmmmm…

On the Misfit’s site he/she has a picture that points out that Shannon’s hair grew quite a bit from the first crash scene shoot and this one, so they may have re-shot the scene.

What? Couldn’t they pay her enough to get a haircut?

they mad a big deal about it on the podcast–noting how cool it was that these working actors could fly to hawaii to shoot bits and pieces, and how they just couldn’t ask them to cut their hair, which might be required to be a certain way for an ongoing job.

@initech

They’re not dead, no way. The dog knows they’re alive, and dogs can dig.

He’d have to be quick. After five or so minutes, they’d be brain dead.

And for those suggesting they did themselves out, there’d be no way they could dig themselves out of a grave. The sand is so heavy that it would pin their bodies down in the position they were buried.

Of course, this is *Lost * where horny yet deadly spiders come sprinting out of the foliage. Guess Nikki forgot that part of Les’ lesson.

Nikki and Paulo started to become lame characters.

I was hoping they would die in this episode. But one again the unexpected happened in Lost

They died twice, may still be alive, and now I like them.

True, but (Kill Bill spoiler):

Uma Thurman dug herself out of a much deeper grave in KB 2. And she was in a coffin! On the other hand, to our knowledge, Paolo and Nikki do not possess awesome ninja skills.

How DARE Yoiu mention this FRUAD miSfit for only I AM the TRUE LOSTigator I am more SMARTER than MAAGNUM pi and RAUCHFORD File combine !!!

Love that guy. But anyway though I thought this was a great episode. Sure I’d like to know more answers to the island mysteries but this was a fun show, and the episodes since the season break have been great, and well worth the money I paid. I give it a solid thumbs up.

And Nicki is hot.
I mean WAS hot.

[ChuckForbin]

Oh, and did any of my fellow Cheeseheads notice that Ethan was wearing a Wisconsin shirt ?
How cool was that !
Maybe next we’ll see him in the Other’s compound standing in front of a Weber grill frying up some Dharma brats !

I did! I’d prefer a less “evil” character to wear it but it was still nice to see.

Well, Paolo doesn’t, but Nikki does possess awesome **“Razzle Dazzle!” **skills!

If he’s a Cheesehead, he’d only go for Johnsonville brats.

@Merijeek

Still, though, can anyone tell me where Sawyer got the gun?

He said that he kept that one and gave the rest to whomever he was giving all of the guns to. He’s a con man, dude - he’s got super powers of deception

Yup. And keep in mind that Ethan claimed he was from Canada. We all know that them damned snowbacks sneak down into Wisconsin fer da brats.

I think that the automatic currently in Sawyer’s possession was obtained after he knocked Pickett (Danny) out by the bear cages. Sawyer expended the entire clip during the subsequent flight to the coast before encountering Alex and her Slingshot of Cranial Destruction.

Excellent point.
Therefore we now know the Dharma airdrop plane comes from Sheboygan. Another puzzle piece has been found.

Speaking of puzzles, my fiance got one of the Lost puzzles for Christmas. There is no picture on the cover of what it is supposed to look like. She won’t allow me to peek for the answer on the internet. 1000 pieces, I expect it will take her about 9 years to finish it.

oh, and Nicki is still Hot. I likes the Evil women. Can’t decide if Juliet is evil or not (I think so).

Is it just serendipity that the term “cheesehead” applies to both Canadians and Wisconsinites?

Dagnabbit…thanks to the move to the 10:00 slot, I now watch Lost on Thursdays, so I’m late to the party. And I wanted to be the first to post Alfred Hitchcock/Tales of the Crypt references, but I see that ship has sailed.

Anyway: loved this episode. Reminded me that the best eps of **X-Files ** were the stand-alones that didn’t advance the mythology.

The best of X Files, with a big helping of The Twilight Zone stylistically…

Not to mention ripping off a plot device from Anacondas: The Hunt For the Blood Orchid. The only difference is that Paolo didn’t get eaten by a 30 foot snake after he was paralyzed by the spider.

And what the heck kind of plan is that anyway? I’m going to throw a spider on you in the hopes that not only will it land on a part of you where your flesh is exposed, but the spider will also be ornery enough to bite you. Ridiculous!
