If this is truly the end of them, there was no point in having them on the show. I really liked the ep, though.

[Homer]

I really don't see how they can be dead. It makes no sense.

Plus, little things like Locke saying the "nothing stays buried" and the guy in the beginning saying they can write Nikki "back in next season" makes me think this can't be a completely worthless, throwaway episode. Please don't be worthless.

i think you're right...too many "easter eggs" in the script for them to mean nothing.

Maybe, or maybe they want to keep people guessing over a simple "kill off the crappy characters everyone hates" episode.

They were never given a chance, though. Never involved in anything, never had a backstory, etc. Being killed off means that they were alive in the first place. Compare it to how Juliet was introduced. Maybe if everyone hates her they'll kill her off, but she's already contributed to the plot.

You don't make sure to write one bad line per episode from an unknown character for no reason whatsoever. If there's a knife on the table it has a purpose. The purpose of these characters hasn't been made clear yet.

This show allows one to do whatever one wants. The character of Scott who was killed by Ethan could have a huge purpose that we don't know of..maybe the writers don't even know it but will decide to create it 2 seasons from now.

The unique thing about the show is one could almost create a second show called LOST 2..and just focus on 5-10 of the other 48 survivors.

They introduced Artz just to blow him up. I have no problem with them bringing in new characters.

[chicken10der]

Arzt and Ana Lucia were used and then discarded. Paulo and Nikki were just discarded.

Come on. They existed solely for the great Creepshow end scene. I'm cool with that.
