Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBecause the characters of Nikki and Paulo had to be convincingly incorporated into the plane crash scene featured in Pilot: Part 1 (2004), the editing crew meticulously watched hours of original footage to determine where additional scenes could be placed, which camera angles had not been used before, and which characters could be used for additional shots. The original beach set (still largely intact) was revisited and additional shots with Nikki, Paulo, and several original cast members were filmed. In some instances, acting was performed in front of a green-screen to incorporate the actors in existing (unused) footage. The resulting scene is a seamless cut of old, new and altered shots.
- GoofsIn ? (2006) (about 28 minutes in), when the group finds the doors to the Pearl Station, it takes Eko and Locke both to open each of the two doors. When another group returns to the Pearl Station in The Cost of Living (2006), 25 minutes in, Sayid and Desmond repeat the process of opening the doors. In this episode, about 24 minutes in, Paulo has entered the Pearl Station alone to hide the diamonds, he hides as he hears Ben and Juliet enter the station, and Ben comments "Who left [the doors] open?" We must assume that when Ben and Juliet left, they closed the doors behind them, leaving Paulo inside. If it took two people to open the doors from the outside, how do we expect one person standing on a ladder in a vertical shaft to open the doors from the inside?

Featured review
Superior one-hour entertainment
Perhaps the best episode of the season, it reminded me of an old E.C. comic from the 1950s--a single, short, spooky tale, cleverly told and with a terrific twist. Such a show is, for me, very much superior to the continuity based episodes, such as the following week's, which limp along at a languid pace and reveal little. And it was not marred by the tendency to use musical overlay to dramatize situations and to help the viewers empathize with the characters. By contrast, this episode contained superior writing and tight directing and sharp performances. As such, it represents a high-water mark for the series, and a continued revelation of the absence of community within the ostensible community of beach survivors. Plus, little mention of the now-tedious Others.
