REQUIEM FOR THEORIES DEBUNKED
In which Doc Jensen grieves the demise of his Nikki-and-Paulo time loop and resurrection theories, and seeks clarification from the producers on whether the buried-alive duo are taking a permanent dirt nap — or only just napping.
For the past several weeks, I have been maniacally tubthumping two different theories about the most derided pair of characters in Lost history, Nikki and Paulo. The first: Due to Desmond's time-altering leap into the past, Bernard and Rose were replaced by Nikki and Paulo. The second: A contingent of rebellious Others have been plotting the psychic takeover of several castaways, beginning with the bodies of the two diamond-swiping murderers. Last week's episode seemed to drive a stake into the heart of the souljacking theory — or did it? Might we see Nikki and Paulo claw their way out of their graves? And is my Bernard and Rose time-swap theory still in play?
Looking for answers, I appealed to The Powers That Be. This what I got.
In the Nikki and Paulo episode, Sawyer once again failed to recognize Nikki. Was his ''Who the hell are you?!'' line evidence that a history-altering shift had occurred, and Sawyer was the only one not affected by it?
No, says executive producer Carlton Cuse. Sawyer's line was merely meant to be a wink that acknowledged the audience's less-than-enthusiastic regard for Nikki and Paulo. In other words, he was only saying what so many of you were thinking.
Okay. But what about the Mystery of the Missing Scene? According to publicity images released to the web to promote last week's episode, a scene was shot recreating last season's Purple Sky Event, placing a screaming Nikki on the beach next to Bernard. The scene wasn't included in last week's episode, leading some fans to speculate that producers decided to shift course and embrace the B&R/N&P swap idea. True?
According to Cuse, the scene was cut simply because the episode was too long.
So what about the final fate of Nikki and Paulo? On a scale of 1 to 10, just how dead are they?
10 = Dead as dead can be.
5 = You never know: maybe some dead Others will inhabit their bodies and crawl out of those graves!
1 = Resurrection Island, baby!
Damon Lindelof replies: ''Paulo and Nikki are a full-on Nigel Tufnel 11!!!''
And there you have it. Nikki and Paulo, dead as dead can be. And I also have it on good authority that we'll be seeing Bernard and Rose on the beach again, possibly very soon.
So rest in peace, my kooky theories. It was fun while it lasted.


It brings back memories, that's for sure! 

I'll bet anything that Ben promised to get her off the island after she finishes this "mission," but maybe she knows he won't, so she'll play him instead...

LoveLetter said:The scene with Ben and Juliet makes me feel that Juliet is a manipulator as well.

But I'm sure I will switch back in a few eposides or something!
