Picture[]

Why has Nikki's picture been changed from one of the official cast promotional photos to one of the episode ones? Can we change it back or at least have a vote on it? Thanks. 01lander 16:17, March 23, 2010 (UTC)

  • It's not an episode one, it's an official promotional photo, just a different one. Season 3 produced LOTS of promo photos so there's a few more options also. Personally, I like the current one better. --LeoChris 19:35, March 23, 2010 (UTC)
    • Well can't we take a vote on this or something? Someone's opinion doesn't constitute for what goes on an article. Personally I prefer the other picture, as it is more in sync with the other Season 3 promotional photos. 01lander 08:40, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
      • Just to be clear, I wasn't the one who changed the picture, and I'm not sure what whomever did it's rationale was (could have been something other than ``I like it better``), but if you do wanna have a vote on it, go ahead. :) Personally, I'd rather keep the one we currently have. --LeoChris 15:16, April 5, 2010 (UTC)
        • I prefer the one in the red shirt. I don't think having them look at the camera should be the main criterion. She has a more natural look in the other one and her hair isn't in her face. Alexisfan07 June 8, 2010
        • There are shots of her in the red shirt where she looks at the camera: check out this one (which is actually used for her portal) and [1] ... this one could also be an interesting option. --LeoChris 00:30, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
          • Those are decent but I think the one that was being used in the red is still best. Anything is better than the current one, though. Alexisfan07 June 10, 2010

Returning?[]

They said that past characters will be returning, so will it be likely that Nikki and Paulo come back? I for one would like to see the monster take their shape.

Fail Safe[]

Wouldve been better if they had replaced Bernard and Rose on the flight. Better chance for actually contributing to the story.


Good Idea[]

The producers should've used THIS idea:

Have Nikki and Paulo as fuselage survivors who were captured by The Others as soon as the plane crashed, and then a flashback episode of how they escaped back to the beach. OR, hav an episode which focuses on them working for The Others. I have to say, the producers really couldn't be arsed with these characters when they realised they weren't popular.


Biggest Lost Error yet[]

The Nikki and Paulo death episode contained the stupidest error I have yet found in lost. It is this simple. Heat.

How could they fail to notice that they bodies of Nikki and Paulo were still warm when they threw them in a hole? Maybe they could miss the breathing (though how? wouldn't their chests move??) and the very slow pulse but how could they miss the fact they didn't go cold and the fact that there was no discoloration in the body after 8 hours in direct sun. I'm freakin 15 and I can figure that out. Personally I feel there was more the directors had planned for these characters but when they realized they were unpopular characters they felt the need to kill them and rushed the episode. And yes I do believe that Lockes mention of things not remaining buried for long does indicate that maybe Niki and Paulo (or maybe the diamonds?) will come back at a later date. Locke said "On this island things never stay buried for long". Ian Duffy - User:Fluffman 19:56, 11 February 2007 (PST)

Why would they be cold when they've been laying out in the tropical Sun? Their very slow pulse rate would mean they need less oxygen, so their breaths would've been shallow, I guess. Marky-Son 13:20, 8 May 2007 (PDT)

Kill Nikki[]

http://dco1.com/killnikki/ --Turniphead Danny 19:56, 11 February 2007 (PST)

Updated for Expose --Turniphead Danny 22:19, 28 March 2007 (PDT)

I don't know if this is your site or not, but at the end it states "In a way, we get two Nikki deaths. That's right, two! First, we think she is dead at the beginning of the show, and again she dies at the end." Technically, you could make it three times - her character "Corvette" was shot in filming the TV show! -- Chuq 04:54, 29 March 2007 (PDT) You correct, technically, but I did not consider her getting shot a death when I first saw it because by that time it was obvious it was just a bad show, but you are very right.Turniphead Danny

Main or minor?[]

Are Nikki and Paulo main or minor characters? Because I don't know in which template we should put them. It seems that they will appear from now on in almost every episode (like Mr. Eko and Libby), and they also appear in the credits. So where should they be?  ODK Talk   Sandbox 20:30, 22 October 2006 (PDT)

I say main, because despite ABC listing them as guest stars, they are listed in the main credits and are getting a flashback this season. To me, that says main. Whereas, when Rose and Bernard appear, they always are listed with other guest stars. Jeff 21:16, 20 March 2007 (PDT)

After Expose, I'd say they were minor.--moss ryder 20:32, 28 March 2007 (PDT)

I'm puzzled by that as well, they're credited as guest stars but appear on the Season 3 Promo Poster with the rest of the cast.--browndog 3:26 PM, 3 March 2007

I would say Minor. After all, this is the only episode where they really play a role. Most people don't even notice them until Expose. Every episode before that that featured Nikki and Paule, only had them speaking a few lines anyways. Mooga 17:49, 7 August 2007 (PDT)

It's a false dilemma. They're neither major nor minor; they're secondary, like Rose, Bernard, Tom, etc. (Libby arguably also falls into this category, since she appeared in only a few episodes and never got a full-fledged flashback episode.) The reason we're having this trouble is because our system is broken. We need to either be more inclusive and add the many secondary characters currently missing from Portal:Main Characters, or be less inclusive and remove clearly trivial characters like Aaron. -Silence 19:29, 7 August 2007 (PDT)

Pearl[]

Pearlorientation1

5 OF 6

  • How does she know that there are 6 stations? The video in "The Pearl" doesn't give any number, but she knows that.
    • One of the first shots states that this is "5 OF 6 ORIENTATION".
    • I got into a LONG SCROLL of an argument about this fact on the episode discussion page for that episode. I concurr that what Nikki CLAIMS (she says) " 'THE GUY' SAYS that there are 6 stations" when Dr. Candle / Wickmund CLEARLY DOES NOT "SAY" anything of the sort. Sure, the title card says "5 of 6" but the title card is NOT "THE GUY" and doesn't "SPEAK" out loud, hence Nikki using the term "SAYS". But, I wouldn't waste too much steam on trying to push this theory, as the majority of hardcore editors here seem to be totally against the idea that Nikki / Paulo are something more / other than what has been revealed. But, hey, I'm with you. --Frankie Viturello
    • Couldn't the title card have meant that this was the 5th part of the orientation videos?--moss ryder 20:34, 28 March 2007 (PDT)

Flight attendant[]

I don't recall this being revealed. More details, please. --Amberjet11 10:02, 3 November 2006 (PST)

Yeah, I don't remember that either. Who added that? I'm gonna check the transcripts...--LOST ON CRAPHOLE ISLAND!!!!!

Vs. Shannon / Boone section...[]

It's not a "theory". It's more of an "observation", and frankly, I don't think it holds water, and the counterpoint bullets neither support nor argue the observation. I really don't think it should even be there. I mean, why not Rose & Bernard vs. Nikki & Paulo, or Hurley & Libby, etc. etc.

-Frankie Viturello

  • Well, the original comment that someone else made was that Nikki and Paulo were similar to Shannon and Boone but "Nikki is more daring and useful." There is absolutely nothing to support that. If you want, I could rename this section as an observation, but there really isn't any comparison to the other couples you named, because they don't fall under the same archetypes. --Amberjet11 14:26, 13 November 2006 (PST)
    • Mmm, well, comparison or no, we don't even KNOW the nature of Nikki and Paulo's relationship from the context of what we've witnessed of them on screen. I know there have been podcast / web infos from the show creators about the nature of the characters, but, we KNEW Shannon and Boone were brother and sister, then step-siblings, and finally romantically linked through the narrative of the first season. We know next to nothing about N & P to date...they've had a few lines of dialouge and on screen action, and they tagged along to the pearl, but that's it...I don't see a need or a reason for a "comparison" to Shannon and Boone much less falling under an "archetype" (what archetype DO they fall under for that matter? "Attractive Twenty-Somethings stranded on an island"?)

--Frankie Viturello 07:49, 14 November 2006 (PST)

Sawyer's surprise[]

OK I was shocked by Sawyer's "who the hell are you" comment to Nikki. He would have to have noticed her before, and the writers and director of Enter 77 (Cuse/Lindelof and Williams) intentionally called attention to the fact that he didn't know her! These are the show runners and the most frequent director! They wouldn't have Sawyer say that for no reason. Either they're trying to call attention to the fact that Nikki and Paulo were outsiders on the beach before (probably) or they are telegraphing that Sawyer really doesn't know her. Either way, it's important... --Pedxing 11:32, 9 March 2007 (PST)


I dont think its that important. According to Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, Nikki and Paulo are "universally despised." It was likely (and how i perceived it) a humorous commentary by Sawyer reflecting how the veiwers feel (i personally said that when we first saw them). Also, there are 40+ survivers on the Island, so its not impossible to forget a face (ecspecially after all sawyers been through). Furthermore, it may have been said as a statement about Nikki and Paulos limeted authority (A sort of "Who are YOU to tell ME to that i stole that stuff?") But who knows, it could be important. -- Iron Man  Send a message  View contributions  17:03, 9 March 2007 (PST)


Sawyer not notice a hot chick...yeah right.--ASEO 13:07, 29 March 2007 (PDT)

Agree with you but Sawyer seems to be the only one to not know her. But as we see in the flashbacks, Nikki and Paulo live "apart", like Sun and Jin at the beginning of season 1. And maybe they introduced themselves to the others while Sawyer was with the Others... The mE 15:12, 12 March 2008 (PDT)

Nikki and Paulo's flashback episode (spoilers)[]

The promo pictures for Exposé confirm that Nikki and Paulo have this episode's flashbacks. However, I was wondering whether it was okay to add this or not. ShadowUltra 18:31, 12 March 2007 (PDT)

New picture[]

I vote that after Expose airs we change the picture of Nikki to this one ;) ShadowUltra 14:47, 19 March 2007 (PDT)

DANG!!! --UltimateRobert 12:04, 27 March 2007 (PDT)

Despised? Why?[]

There's no mention in this page why Nikki and Paulo are allegedly "universally despised" by the show's audience. I don't despise them personally. It's just blatantly obvious that they were invented by the writers in order to kill them off. They're red shirts. Also, I don't understand why the producers of the series couldn't pull two actors they've already used in the series before, faces we'd recognize who had been in the background, up their pay for a few episodes and utilize them. Should there not be some reference to this in the Trivia section of the Nikki & Paolo pages, that they're allegedly universally despised? Perhaps another sentence or two dismissing this as Damn & Carlton attempting to create controversy where there is none? -- ZachsMind

  • It was because they came out of nowhere and they were drawing attention away from other characters, like Jack, Sawyer, Locke, etc. Originally, it was planned for Nikki and Paulo to have a bigger story arc, but because people didn't like them, they were killed off instead. --Crash815 Talk 04:41, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

"Who the hell's Nikki?"[]

Article Renaming[]

  • Rename Yes.--Berethor222 20:50, 28 March 2007 (PDT)
  • Rename Of course.--Tonyfuchs 23:55, 28 March 2007 (EDT)
Rename it to what?   Hooper   talk    contribs    email   20:51, 28 March 2007 (PDT)
  • Rename to Nikki Fernandez, which was her name on the Exposé script that Hurley found. He READ THE NAME ALOUD. This is a no-brainer. --CastorTroy 20:56, 28 March 2007 (PDT)
  • Done. --Marik7772003 21:05, 28 March 2007 (PDT)

"unknown whether she has died?"[]

I think it's pretty safe to assume both Nikki and Paolo suffocated by the time Hurley and Sawyer finished piling on the dirt. I don't think we're likely to get any explicit "confirmation" of their deaths.  :-D P.S. Why can't the top part of the main article be edited to fix this silly line?--Puddin Tame 22:16, 28 March 2007 (PDT)

I still find it frustrating that the first section of this article can't be edited. "She was buried alive and is presumed (but not proven) to be dead." is unintentionally hilarious. What will it take to convince people they are dead? Hopefully the DVD will include the 15 minute deleted scene of Hurley and Sawyer filling the hole!--Puddin Tame 08:03, 30 March 2007 (PDT)
  • I'm personally hoping they'll wake up and dig themselves out only after the tide has moved in. --MightyRearranger 11:55, 29 March 2007 (PDT)
    • People usually don't wake up after being suffocated by over a hundred cubic feet of earth, let alone dig themselves out.--Puddin Tame 13:27, 29 March 2007 (PDT)

Locke sure went out of his way to comment that "Things don't stay buried on this island" if we aren't supposed to at least suspect that they will crop up again.

Locke may have been talking about Christian, Yemi and the tendency for dead bodies on the island to go missing. There is no way lying in that position that a person could dig there way out or otherwise survive. They should be presumed dead until there is some evidence otherwise. Dharmatel4 17:46, 29 March 2007 (PDT)
In defense of the possibility of life: the sand would not be compacted greatly. They would of probably had atleast 15 to 30 minutes worth of air in a normal setting. On this island...who knows how long. The true possibility lies in how long it would take for them to begin using their limbs after the paralysis wears off. And if they dig out correctly.

They'll be back on the 18th episode of the 12th season is what I heard ;)   Hooper   talk    contribs    email   08:28, 30 March 2007 (PDT)

I think that the tide may wash the sand away, and find her in a slightly different position - with her mouth open as though screaming, or something like that - and then they'd realise that she wasn't dead... --RyanBrynna 10:48, 2 April 2007 (PDT)

Nikki and Paulo are CONFIRMED DEAD[]

http://community.tvguide.com/blog-entry/TVGuide-Editors-Blog/Todays-News/Lost-Boss-Explains/800011706

They've been killed off because of the fan backlash.


I don't know why fan backlash would be the reason, it was always going to happen introducing plane survivors never before seen until Season 3.--Baker1000 16:38, 1 April 2007 (PDT)

Fan backlash? Did people even notice them before their death? Mooga 17:58, 7 August 2007 (PDT)

Yes, they did. Nikki and Paulo actually had a fairly prominent role in "The Cost of Living". -Silence 19:32, 7 August 2007 (PDT)

New confirmation Nikki and Paulo are dead[]

Damon himself has confirmed that on a scale of 1 to 10 dead, they are a full-on Nigel Tufnel 11!!!

  • Have the producers, or anyone, given any indication to the point of introducing Nikki and Paulo as characters at all? The only thing we learned through them was the conversation that took place between Ben and Juliet in the Pearl Station. Other than that, I really see no point in introducing them as characters and especially not wasting an entire episode on them when there are so many other stories to tell. Jack has had 2 or 3 flashbacks this season and Charlie has't had one yet! I personally believe he will die in the episode that has his flashback coming up. I'd like to hear other peoples ideas of what the point of having Nikki and Paulo on at all were.

N & P were brought on as people were interested in the background chars, as people were askin questions about who some of the other cast were any why they weren't taking more of an interest in the island, as theres 20+ people who do little but eat lunch on a beach everyday! but people hated N & P and they were killed off before people got more angry about them. If people had liked them more they probly would of become A team members. --Hit and miss 05:48, 17 April 2007 (PDT)

Shame[]

It is a shame, because the producers could have used Paulo and Nikki in a good way, such as them being survivors of the front section and appearing out of the jungle halfway through an episode, rather than just suddenly appearing as part of the fuselage survivors. It could have been used to realy dramatic effects, not just "oh look, two new characters. I don't like them and I hope they die", which is what the viewers were thinking. If they were survivors of the front section, it could have produced an interesting flashback, such as them seeing strange things on the Island, instead of the old "we've killed a guy for his money and now, because we are greedy, we will die" con artist turn-around-and-bite-you-in-the-ass-thing....and also, I cannot believe people do not like Nikki but like characters such as Michael, who is a dim-minded person who only cares about himself, but pretends to also cared about his son.--Phil (talk) 08:49, 17 April 2007 (PDT)

I would agree; the producers caved into giving us one Paulo / Nikki flashback instead of two. They should have thrown out Stranger in a Strange Land (easily the worst script of the year) and given us a Nikki flashback, with ALL of them coming from her acting job as if she was some kind of REAL secret agent or something, until the final reveal it was all just a TV show. Then given us a Paulo flashback with the diamonds and the other events on the island. They wasted some really good trick endings.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jclinard (talkcontribs) .

First Appearance Change[]

In the Trivia Section it says "Some viewers and websites claim Nikki and Paulo are first seen in "Live Together, Die Alone", in the failsafe sequence, although only briefly." Well I was checking if this true and it is and I have proof in this picture.--Almighty Sal 17:28, 6 May 2007 (PDT) Niki&pauloduringdischarge

  • It's not them ... According to promotional photos from Exposé (from an unaired/deleted scene), Paulo & Nikki were wearing different clothes during the discharge ... The two persons seen in the screeshot posted above appear to be random extras, and they are seen in this other promo pic, right next to Nikki and are therefore, not intended to be stunt double for Pikki ... --LeoChris 06:36, 9 May 2007 (PDT)
  • Also Expose shows that Nikki and Paulo weren't together when the sequence occurred, wasn't she making her way over to check on Claire or something?

Could we possibly have a new picture put up from her flashback? As the only current one is quite blurry, and only taken from the fictional show, Exposé. Thaanks —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 01lander (talkcontribs) .

More Exposé![]

I wanna see more random clips of the show when the characters have a TV in, provides minor amusement, dont you think? Also means Nikki appears more, giving her more character appearances! I really think they should bring the character back as a way for the monster to appear to Hurley, as he did seem quite affected by their deaths... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 01lander (talkcontribs) .

Hi Guys,

Not sure if I have made a big Lostpedia "No No" here but have just added a blooper reguarding the Sydney Opera House on the Expose page. Should I have posted here first? If so I am sorry.

Deleted Scene[]

Can the scene during the purple sky be added to the main article? I know it wasn't included inthe episode, and the majority of deleted scenes aren't considered canon, but this scene makes sense by showing how Nikki and Paulo "suddenly" turn up in Season 3. 01lander 07:28, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

The Variable?[]

Is it just me or does Nikki appear in The Variable in an episode of Expose, during the hospital scene in LA moments before Eloise Hawking arrives? We see a short glimpse of Penny and Charlie and a television on a stand, there's a woman on screen and with Lost being Lost, I'm pretty sure it's Nikki we see on the monitor.

--The Whsipers 22:40, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm afraid I can't right now, I don't have the know how to begin with. I have provided a YouTube link below its occurs in the first scenes about 1.15 -1.20 minutes, if you get a chance to watch it again or have Sky+ pay close attention to the scene as the YouTube link will be as pixelated as sin and probably won't resolve things anyway. Though they do give the monitor a lot of screen time with the show running, usually when Lost do this its for a reason.

Nikki voice[]

In epsiode The Lie you can hear Nikki voice when David watch Expose.--Tom Jacob 19:43, September 22, 2010 (LT)

  • Are you sure? It really doesn't sound like Kiele Sanchez's voice to me, and the lines aren't reused from Exposé... Plus, if we consider the fact that Corvette wasn't the main character, Autumn and Crystal were, it just doesn't seem likely. Would TPTB really ask Sanchez to record new lines? --LeoChris 00:11, October 22, 2010 (UTC)
    • Maybe this line was from Expose past episodes but not where Corvette die.--Tom Jacob 19:30, October 22, 2010 (LT)

Picture, Again[]

  • While I don't think there's anything wrong with the current picture, following the end of the series, some new pictures have been released. The precedent of Shannon's Ana's and Paulo's pictures being changed to some of these new shots makes it clear in my mind we should at least consider the new ones. Heretheyare:) What do you guys think? Is any one of these better than the current one? --LeoChris 17:22, November 6, 2010 (UTC)
  • I prefer the first one to the current pic. It looks more like a character shoot and less like a fashion shoot. --- Balk Of Fametalk 20:39, November 6, 2010 (UTC)

Clothing[]

  • Would the fact that Nikki wore the same clothes (that pink top with stripes along with that short pair of jeans) during most of her screentime be worthy of an inclusion in trivia? She had the thing on during her trip to the Pearl, seen in The Cost of Living and I Do (as well as Exposé itself...) and she was also burried with it on. This means that she wore the same clothes in 50% of her appearances. (She also seems to be wearing the pants she died in in Enter 77, though she has a different top on at that point). Considering the fact that Nikki is seen wearing multiple other outfits during Exposé's flashbacks, it seemed odd, if trivial, to me that the production had Kiele Sanchez wearing the same costume during her most important scenes... --LeoChris 06:03, December 29, 2010 (UTC)
