Darling Nikki

After tonight’s episode, my mood towards Lost has gone from mild amusement to downright hostile contempt.  That had to have been one of the top 3 worst episodes ever.  I just don’t see the logic of introducing 2 completely throw-away characters, then killing them off in a meaningless episode.  There was no advancement of the overall plot.  It was completely pointless crap.  If it would have been a movie, I would have asked for my money back.  Now I just want 47 minutes of my life back.  Actually I do see the logic of it now, to pump out more crap and keep milking the show for as long as possible. 

I can just see the writer’s meeting on this one:

Writer 1:  Hey guys, we don’t really have enough material for an episode this week, what to we do?
Writer 2:  No problem, we’ll just make up some lame jewel thief plot and kill off Nikki and Paulo.
Writer 3: Who?
Writer 2:  You know those 2 filler characters….
Writer 3: Oh ya! Duh, I forgot!
Writer 1:  OK, but I can’t think of any movies we can rip off…
Writer 3:  I got it!  How about we do a Memento type timeline rip off, with a The Vanishing paralyzed and buried alive twist?
Writer 1:  Awesome dude, let’s do it!  Who wants nachos?
