Interesting Episode Facts- Season 4
72. (1.) The Beginning Of The End
The survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 break up into 2 camps again. Most go with Locke to the Others Barricks and some stay with Jack on the beach. It is implied tthat those who go with Locke never make it off the island or come to be known as the "Oceanic Six".
What we learn in the future about Hurley:
Hurley leads the police on a car chase through La Brea, California after seeing a vision of Charlie in a convienence store.
Hurley will be "One of the Oceanic Six".
Hurley will have visions of Charlie.
Hurley will gp back to Santa Rosa Hospital.
Jack will visit Hurley at Santa Rosa Hospital.
Hurley will wish to go back to the island.
What we learn in the future about Jack:
Jack will do consolutations
Jack will visit Hurley at the Sanat Rosa Hospital
People ask for his autograph sometimes when he is getting coffee for being "one of the Oceanic survivors"
We learn Naomi didn't die right away from her knife wounds and has a sister.
The Oceanic Airlines lawyer that visited Hurley in the institution was named Matthew Abaddon. Abaddon in Hebrew means "destruction". In Biblical poetry (Job 26:6; Proverbs 15:11), it comes to mean "place of destruction", or the realm of the dead, and is associated with Sheol. Abaddon is also one of the compartments of Gehenna.[1] By extension, it can mean an underworld abode of lost souls, or hell. In Revelation 9:11, it is personified as Abaddon, "Angel of the Abyss",[1] rendered in Greek as Apollyon; and he is described as king of the locusts which rose at the sounding of the fifth trumpet. In like manner, in Rev. vi. 8, Hades is personified following after death to conquer the fourth part of the earth.
Abaddon is one of the infernal names used in LaVeyan Satanism, and is first in the list—only as it comes first alphabetically—and means "the destroyer."
George Minkowski, the name of the other end of the satellite phone when Jack calls is the voice of Fisher Stevens
Hurley slams his car into a pile of guava fruit
Hurley discovers Jacob's cabin and Christian Shepard is seeen sitting in the rocking chair
The numbers spoted: Hurley is painting his igloo painting with 16 colors
73. (2.) Confirmed Dead
We learn that Naomi received her orders from Matthew Abbaddon and "tell my sister I love her" is a code for if she is in trouble.
What we learn about Daniel Faraday:
He is a physicist
He is socially awkward
Daniel Faraday is named after Michael Faraday- a pioneering scientist in the fields of electricity and magnetism.
What we learn about Frank Lapidus:
He was supposed to be the pilot of Oceanic Airlines Flight 815
He studied the Oceanic Airline Flight 815 manifest many times.
He is a drunk but an excellent pilot.
Lapidus is a type of granite
What we learn about Miles Strome:
He is a ghostbuster/ hustler
He collects soil samples
He found that Kate was telling the truth she did not kill Naomi
He uses a portable cold generator (chilled supposably flushes out spirits)
What we Learn about Charlotte Staples Lewis:
She was born July 2, 1979 in Essex, England to parents David and Jeanette.
She is the eldest of three sisters.
She was raised in Bromsgrove.
She did her undergraduate studies at Kent and took her PhD in Cultural Anthropology at Oxford.
She is an archeologist who discovered the remains of a polar bear with a Hyrda Station Dharma Initiative colar in Tunisia
Charlotte's arrival on the island is similar of another fantastical tale about an enchanted homecoming. The book is Prince Caspian, by C.S. Lewis, the sequel to The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. The story starts with a chapter called "The Island", in which the Pevensie kids return to Narnia via a mysterious island marked by ancient ruins and odd creatures. First thing they do is they play in the water.
Charlotte Staples Lewis's name so conspicuously similar to the author's real name, Clive Staples Lewis.
The salvage vesssel Christiane 1 was told in a story on an online story www.Find815.com
We learn that the freighter 4 are after Ben and Ben knows it
Oceanic Airlines set up a hotline for relatives of Flight 815 that actually works: 888-548-0034
We learn that Seth Norris was the pilot of Flight 815
According to the news report Oceanic Flight 815 went down in the Sundra Trench just south of the Indonesia discovered by the Christiane I, a salvage vehicle in the Indian Ocean.
Doubloons (mentioned by a Christiane I crew member) a double-sided token coin, often refers to a seven-gram (0.225 troy ounce) gold coin minted in Spain, Mexico, Peru, or Nueva Granada.
The numbers spoted:
4 people were in the chopper when it went down in an electrical storm
74. (3.) The Economist
Sayid and Ben are part of the Oceanic Six
What we learn about Sayid from his flashforward:
He plays golf
He is an assassin for Ben
He does not speak much German
He's an assassin for Ben
We learn that Jack misses seeing baseball and the Yankees win the World Series
An economist is an individual who studies, develops, and applies theories and concepts from economics, and who writes about economic policy. He works to predict the behavior of large groups of people and may also be an expert who determines the value of economic damages and business valuations.
Daniel Faraday conducts an experiment where he has Regina on the freighter fire a rocket with a clock in it onto the island. The rocket doesn't land when it should. When Faraday opens the rocket and checks the clock against his clocks on the island, he finds that the island is about 31 minutes behind time on the freighter. That's a significant 31 minutes; if you start at the very beginning of the episode and skip ahead 31 minutes (sans commercials), you'll be at the beginning of the pivotal scene where Sayid and Elsa are in bed. If you take the scene where Sayid tells Elsa he's in Germany to kill her boss and go back 31 minutes, you're at the beginning of the golf course scene where he shoots Avellino. This may be just a simple coincidence and an intriguing play on spacetime, but coincidence may be too simple an explanation
Things seen in Ben’s locked room behind the bookcase:
British physicist Michael Faraday was the face embossing the cash Sayid finds in the room behind the room. Britain issued a £20 note with Faraday's likeness on it from 1991-2001
The Quran
Suits
Passports- one from Switzerland with Ben's picture bears the name Dean Moriarty, one from New Zealand, one from Brazil
75. (4.) Eggtown
What we learn about Kate:
Her charges are fraud, arson, assault on a federal officer, assault with a deadly weapon, grand larceny, grand theft auto and murder in the first degree.
Her middle name is Ann
She has a child named Aaron
The book Locke gives to Ben is Valis by Philip K. Dick
The first of Dick's three final novels (the others are Divine Invasion and The Transmigration of Timothy Archer). Known as science fiction only for lack of a better category, "Valis" takes place in our world and may even be semi-autobiographical. It is a fool's search for God, who turns out to be a virus, a joke, and a mental hologram transmitted from an orbiting satellite. The proponent of the novel, Horselover Fat, is thrust into a theological quest when he receives communion in a burst of pink laser light. From the cancer ward of a bay area hospital to the ranch of a fraudulent charismatic religious figure who turns out to have a direct com link with God, Dick leads us down the twisted paths of Gnostic belief, mixed with his own bizarre and compelling philosophy. Truly an eye opening look at the nature of consciousness and divinity.
The Invention Of Morel by Adolfo Bioy Casares, Suzanne Jill Levine, Jorge Luis Borges, and Ruth L. C. Simms, the book Sawyer is reading, is
a masterpiece of plotting, comparable to The Turn of The Screw and Journey to the Center of the Earth. Set on a mysterious island, Bioy's novella is a story of suspense and exploration, as well as a wonderfully unlikely romance, in which every detail is at once crystal clear and deeply mysterious. Inspired by Bioy Casares's fascination with the movie star Louise Brooks, The Invention of Morel has gone on to live a secret life of its own. Greatly admired by Julio Cortázar, Gabriel García Márquez, and Octavio Paz, the novella helped to usher in Latin American fiction's now famous postwar boom. As the model for Alain Resnais and Alain Robbe-Grillet's Last Year in Marienbad, it also changed the history of film
The bottom of the Dharma coffee cup Kate is drinking from has the brand name mainSTAYS and the words "MADE IN CHINA".
"She's Got You" by Patsy Cline is playing in Kate’s and Claire's room when John walks in and wants to talk to Kate
Books on Ben’s shelf:
Kings of Love: The Poetry and History of the Ni'Matullahi Sufi Order
Red Man's Religion: Beliefs and Practices of the Indians North of Mexico
The Holy Qur'an: Text, Translation & Commentary by Abdullah Yusuf Ali
The Sheltering Sky by Paul Bowles
Caravan of Dreams by Idries Shah
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
Sawyer refers to Hurley as "Montezuma", the subdued ruler of the Aztec empire at the beginning of the Spanish conquest of Mexico (1502-1520). In Mexico, traveler's s often referred to as "Montezuma's Revenge". Sawyer uses this nickname as we hear Hurley flush a toilet.
Jack clearly states that the survivors were stranded in an island in the South Pacific, and people around him seem to accept that naturally. However, the whole world first learned that the wreckage of the Oceanic plane was located in a very different portion of the globe
Hurley tries to decide between listening to "Xanadu" by Olivia Newton John and something called "Satan's Doom"
The numbers spotted:
When Kate, her lawyer and the opposite lawyer are discussing a deal about her sentence, the opposite lawyer says she could get 15 years in jail.
When Kate, her lawyer and the opposite lawyer are discussing a deal about her sentence, the opposite lawyer offers 4 years in jail.
When Jack testifies about Kate, he tells a fake story about the crash. He says that only 8 people survived.
76. (5.) The Constant
The present date is December 24, 2004
Charles Widmore bought the Black Rock painting and ledger.
We learn that the Black Rock ship, which was found on the island, set sail from Portsmouth, England, on March 22, 1845. The ship was on a trading mission to the Kingdom of Siam and later was tragically lost at sea.
The owner and seller of the Black Rock ledger was named Tovard Hanso, who possessed the same last name as both Magnus and Alvar
Penny's number (020)7946 0893
Penny's address 423 Cheyne Walk
On the wall in the berricks the flag of Scotland and the United Kingdom's 4th Regimental Colour of the 1st Battalon, The Black Watch, hang on the wall
We learn that Daniel taught at Queen's College, Department of Physics and Southfield
Desmond did his military time at Camp Millar
In physics, Lorentz covariance (seen in Daniel’s notes) is a key property of spacetime that follows from the special theory of relativity, where it applies globally. Local Lorentz covariance refers to Lorentz covariance applying only locally in an infinitesimal region of spacetime at every point, which follows from general relativity. Lorentz covariance has two distinct, but closely related meanings
A physical quantity is said to be Lorentz covariant if it transforms under a given representation of the Lorentz group. According to the representation theory of the Lorentz group, these quantities are built out of scalars, four-vectors, four-tensors, and spinors. In particular, a scalar (e.g. the space-time interval remains the same under Lorentz transformations and is said to be a Lorentz invariant (i.e. they transform under the trivial representation).
An equation is said to be Lorentz covariant if it can be written in terms of Lorentz covariant quantities (confusingly, some use the term invariant here). The key property of such equations are that if they hold in one inertial frame, then they hold in any inertial frame (this is a result of the fact that if all the components of a tensor vanish in one frame, they vanish in every frame). This condition is a requirement according to the principle of relativity, i.e. all non-gravitational laws must make the same predictions for identical experiments taking place at the same spacetime event in two differential inertial frames of reference.
In general relativity, the Kerr metric (on Daniel’s chalk board) describes the geometry of spacetime around a rotating massive body. According to this metric, such rotating bodies should exhibit frame dragging, an unusual prediction of general relativity; measurement of this frame dragging effect is a major goal of the Gravity Probe B experiment. Roughly speaking, this effect predicts that objects coming close to a rotating mass will be entrained to participate in its rotation, not because of any applied force or torque that can be felt, but rather because the curvature of spacetime associated with rotating bodies. At close enough distances, all objects — even light itself — must rotate with the body.
A brain or cerebral aneurysm (Eliose’s cause of death) is a cerebrovascular disorder in which the wall of an artery in the brain becomes weak and balloons outward. The ballooned part of the artery is the aneurysm. An aneurysm has thin walls and can leak or rupture easily. The rupturing of an aneurysm is called a subarachnoid hemorrhage and causes blood to leak into the fluid-filled space around the brain. This bleeding is very dangerous and can cause brain damage, disability, or death. Aneurysms can come in many sizes and can rupture at any time.
We learn that George Minkowski talked to Penny before having time shifts
380,000 pounds (the price of the Black Rock painting and ledger) is roughly $900,000
The majority of the notes on Daniel's chalkboard and notebook are introductory notes on Special Relativity and General Relativity, with a small amount of quantum mechanics scattered in.
Special Relativity deals with linear contractions/dilations of space and time
General Relativity deals with the curvature of space and time
There have been evidences of both Special and General Relativity on the island- as Faraday pointed out (and his payload experiment showed), there is a contraction of time when you go to or leave the island.
The phone that Sayid connects to the battery is a standard Lineman's Handset (looks like a Harris TS22).
The demolished audio mixer prop that Sayid takes out of the rack to look at is actually a RadioShack SSM-1850 home mixer
The Numbers spotted:
After telling Desmond his dream to his superior, his superior orders everyone to go to the yard for 4 minutes.
The auction number of the Black Rock diary is 2342. 23 and 42 are two of the numbers
77. (6.) The Other Woman
What we learn about Goodwin:
Goodwin works with chemicals on the island
Goodwin wanted Ana-Lucia to join the Others
Goodwin’s wife is Harper
Goodwin’s wife is the island’s psychiatrist
We learn the island electrical power station is called the Tempest
The song Ben plays for Juliet at dinner is '”Un Bel Di (One Fine Day)” from the opera Madame Butterfly (1904) by Giacomo Puccini. In the aria, Madame Butterfly, a young Japanese girl whose American husband left her after only one night of marriage (and who, unbeknownst to her, has no intent to return), anticipates the day his boat might someday come back to the harbor. Also, the first lines of the song refer to a plume of smoke ("One fine day, we will see/Arising a strand of smoke/Over the far horizon on the sea").
The Tempest, the name of the Dharma electrical station, comes from the play written by William Shakespeare. It was first published in 1623. It tells the story of the sorcerer Prospero and his daughter Miranda, who are stranded on a mysterious desert island that has mystical properties. Prospero raises a storm, or tempest, which causes a passing ship containing his enemies to run aground. Using magic, spirits and a man-beast creature named Caliban, he separates and manipulates the survivors of the wreck for his own purposes. The play ends with Prospero restored to his former glory.
The combination of Ben's safe is 36-15-28.
The scenes in The Tempest Station were shot at the World War II bunkers on the south side of Kualoa Ranch.
One of Harper's diplomas displayed on the wall has the Hanso Foundation symbol.
After the countdown, the computer screen has the following text:
"MASTER CAUTION & WARNING
NEW ALARM
TES3/31 VAPOR PRESSURE 100%
CONTAINMENT BREACH IMMINENT!
EVACUATE NON-ESSENTIAL PERSONNEL
>: SET VALVE BC22 = open
VALVE NOT RESPONDING
The Numbers spotted:
The computer countdown mentions 4
15 is one number to Ben’s safe
78. (7.) Ji Yeon
Ji-Leon is the name Jin wanted to use if the baby was a girl. It means delay or flower of wisdom.
We learn Sun is a member of the Oceanic Six. The Oceanic Six is now Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sayid and Sun.
Jin’s Gravestone:
At the top in Korean it says "Namhae," which is Jin's hometown, a small fishing town on the southern coast of South Korea. In the middle in large letters is Jin's name. Below that is a Korean phrase which shows that it is an empty tomb. Along the right side is Jin's birth and death date, with Sun's birth date on the left.
Jin's tombstone has the death date September 22, 2004 on it, the day of the crash. This implies that the Oceanic 6 have told the world that he died in the crash.
Jin’s tombstone has his birth date as November 27, 1974.
Sun’s birth date on the grave is March 20, 1980.
Sun takes a ring out of a hospital bag labeled with the name Kwon Sung Hieh, which is not Sun's name.
You can spot Michael on the boat before he's revealed as the janitor. When Regina jumps off the boat, they cut to a group of people standing at the boat's edge. Michael appears to be the hooded member.
50,000 South Korean Wons (the cost of the panda bear plush) equals about 50 U. S. Dollars
Jin buys a stuffed panda to give to the Chinese ambassador, with the panda being representative of China. While the dragon has historically served as China's national emblem, in recent decades the Giant Panda has also served as emblem for the country. Its image appears on a large number of modern Chinese commemorative silver, gold, and platinum coins. The species is a favorite of the public, at least in part because many people find that it has a baby-like cuteness.
We learn that Michael is on the boat, using the name Kevin Johnson.
On the Kahana Freighter, Regina jumps overboard with a chain tied around her body, killing herself. The captain doesn't want anyone to try to save her because of the risk of more people being killed.
Captain Gault is a fictional sea captain created by English writer William Hope Hodgson. A captain for hire - Gault is a morally ambiguous and mysterious character. A collection of his stories can be found in the book Captain Gault, Being the Exceedingly Private Log of a Sea-Captain, published in 1917.
The Survivors of the Chancellor, the book Regina is reading upside down, is this novel by Jules Verne about the last voyage of the British ship Chancellor. In the novel, at the beginning of its voyage, the Chancellor carried eight passengers and twenty crew members. By the end, only eleven people (five passengers and six crew) remained alive. In the novel, several characters commit suicide, at least one of them by jumping off of the raft and into the water.
The Dragon, mentioned by the shopkeeper, is the only mythical creature in the Chinese zodiac. In China, dragons are associated with strength, health, harmony, and good luck; they are placed above doors or on the tops of roofs to banish demons and evil spirits. The Year of the Dragon is associated with the earthly branch symbol. Within Chinese cultures, more babies are born in Dragon years than in any other animal years.
The numbers spotted:
4 and 8 appear on Jin’s tombstone
79. (8.) Meet Kevin Johnson
Things we learn about Michael:
Michael becomes depressed and suicidal upon leaving the island.
Michael made terrible sacrifices to get Walt back from the Others, only to lose him again after telling him about killing Ana-Lucia and Libby.
Michael "sees" Libby twice.
Michael's mother is upset with Michael for his behavior toward his son Walt
Michael tries to kill himself 5 times in the episode- once in a car accident, once in the alley with a gun, twice in his apartment with the gun, and once again on the freighter
Michael trades Jin's Rolex watch for a handgun with which to kill himself. On the island, Jin tried to kill Michael over the same watch.
Things we learn about Tom:
Hinted at in "A Tale of Two Cities", it is revealed that Tom is gay.
Tom can travel off the Island
Tom told Michael, when trying to kill himself, that "the Island won't let you".
Kewalo Basin, the small commercial harbor in Kaka’ako, was transformed into the Port of Suva, Fiji’s largest port and gateway to its capital city for this episode.
The song playing in the car when Michael tries to kill himself is "It's Getting Better" by Cass Elliot
The Hotel Earle is a fictional hotel which is a metaphysical manifestation of hell itself for an awkward, isolated New York City writer in the 1994 Coen Brothers film Barton Fink.
Karl and Rousseau are attacked and left for dead by unknown assailants
Jin’s watch says “Congratulations on our mutual partnership, Mr. Paik”.
80. (9.) The Shape Of Things To Come
What we learn about Ben:
Ben speaks Arabic and Turkish
He can play piano
Ben has a unique secret hieroglyphic door where he activates the smoke monster.
Ben tracks down Sayid off the Island to help him in his plot against Charles Widmore
Ben is first shown he is shaking and it appears that some sort of steam or cold is emanating from him, indicating perhaps that he has just arrived from a time travel episode. He also vomits, and it appears to be orange in color, very similar to the drink that Juliet had to chug before she was taken to the island.
The name of the episode is also the name of a book by H.G. Wells which is written in the form of a history book from the future
The television reporter that mentions Sayid, while Ben is in Tunisia, states : "One of the sons of Iraq, and despite the terrible causes for his return, Sayid Jarrah, one of the members of the Oceanic Six, returned to Baghdad after his wife had passed away. Sayid Jarrah and his wife are from the Tikrit area.".
Risk (the game played by Locke, Sawyer and Hurley) is a commercial strategic board game, produced by Parker Brothers. It was invented by French movie director Albert Lamorisse It was originally released in 1957, as La Conquête du Monde (The Conquest of the World), in France. Risk is a turn-based game for two to six players, and is played on a board depicting a stylized Napoleonic-era political map of the Earth, divided into forty-two territories, which are grouped into six continents. Players control armies, with which they attempt to capture territories from other players. The goal of the game is to control all the territories—or "conquer the world"—through the elimination of the other players. Using area movement, Risk ignores realistic limitations, such as the vast size of the world, and the logistics of long campaigns.
Charles Widmore's bedroom includes the Black Rock painting behind the lamp next to Widmore's bed
October 24, 2005 (the date Ben is in Tunisa) is also Take Back Your Time Day
Ben's flashforward takes place in October 2005 - One year and one month after the crash of Oceanic Flight 815.
“14-J” is a code that is used when the fence around the barracks is tampered with. A female voice on the Ben’s telephone repeats the code. The alarm repeats the code “14J”, which in the military, is the rank for an early warning system operator.
The pill bottle opened by Jack says "Amoxicillin", a common antibiotic.
The mercenaries are wearing Multicam, an advanced camouflage pattern developed by the United States Army and Crye Precision, an American company.
The expandable club that Ben uses against the Bedouins appears to be an homage to the character of Agent 355 in Brian K. Vaughn's comic book, Y: The Last Man. Vaughn co-wrote this episode.
Dharma logo seen on the breast of the parka worn by Ben has yet to be introduced in the series. It features concentric circles surrounding an unknown object.
The Dharma logo looks very much like the well-known celtic symbol "Triskel". Triskel, surrounded by a spiral. It may have something to do with time, because both the triskel and the spiral symbolize reincarnation. This parka also has the name "Halliwax" emblazoned on the left breast of the parka.
We learn that Bernard knows Morse Code
We learn that Sayid found Nadia, married her and then she died in a hit and run car crash in Los Angeles. Ben tracked Sayid down the day of her funeral in Trikit, Iraq.
The piece Ben is playing on the piano right before the phone call is Sergei Rachmaninoff's "Prelude in C# minor".
The numbers spoted:
The code to deactivate the sonic fence around The Other's barracks is 16-23
Sawyer rolls 15 when playing Risk
81. (10.) Something Nice Back Home
The newspaper sports headline. Jack comments "ARod" after scanning the newspaper. ARod had 4 hits in the 1 Oct 2005 game against Boston won by the Yankees 8-4 to clinch the AL East.
"Hard-wired" smoke detectors (as used in a hospital) do not have an on board battery. They are attached to a central electrical supply and linked together. Any malfunctioning of a commercial smoke alarm would be indicated at a central control panel, not by a beeping in the unit itself.
We learn that Charlotte speaks Korean.
We learn that Juliet did a lot of appendectomys in her residency
Jack steps on a Millennium Falcon toy. Luke Skywalker was raised by his uncle, as Aaron has started to be raised by his uncle in this episode. Star Wars also contained a brother and sister that did not know they were related.
Sawyer calls Miles "Donger", referring to a weird foreign exchange student in “16 Candles”, a 1984 coming-of-age movie
82. (11.) Cabin Fever
What we learn about Locke:
Locke was born premature
Locke survived many illnesses as an infant
Locke shows an aptitude for backgammon as a child
Locke was recruited by Richard Alpert to come join Mittelos Bioscience.
Locke drew a picture of the smoke monster and a dead person as a child
Locke was very good at science in high school
Matthew Abbadon suggested to Locke about going on a walkabout
Locke does not believe in miracles
We learn that Horace Goodspeed (Dharma Mathimatician) built Jacob’s cabin as a getaway place for he and his wife Olivia.
We learn that Richard Alpert visited young Locke as a child
We learn that Mittelos Bioscience offers summer camp for children
Horace Goodspeed, in Locke's dream, mentions that he has been dead for 12 years. This places the date of the purge on December 19, 1992 (December 19 being Ben's birthday).
Buddy Holly's song "Everyday" is heard in the first flashback. Buddy Holly is a famous victim of a plane crash.
Locke’s locker had a Geronimo Jackson poster and a picture of Sir Richard Burton (explorer)
Captain Richard Francis Burton was an English explorer, translator, writer, soldier, orientalist, ethnologist, linguist, poet, hypnotist, fencer and diplomat. He was known for his travels and explorations within Asia and Africa as well as his extraordinary knowledge of languages and cultures. According to one count, he spoke 29 European, Asian, and African languages. Burton's best-known achievements include traveling in disguise to Mecca, making an unexpurgated translation of The Book of One Thousand Nights and A Night (the collection is more commonly called The Arabian Nights in English because of Andrew Lang's abridgment) and the Kama Sutra and journeying with John Hanning Speke as the first white men guided by the redoubtable Sidi Mubarak Bombay to discover (for himself and his contemporaries) the Great Lakes of Africa in search of the source of the Nile. He was a prolific author and wrote numerous books and scholarly articles about subjects including travel, fencing and ethnography. He was a captain in the army of the East India Company serving in India (and later, briefly, in the Crimean War). Following this he was engaged by the Royal Geographical Society to explore the east coast of Africa and led an expedition guided by the locals which discovered Lake Tanganyika. In later life he served as British consul in Fernando Po, Damascus and, finally, Trieste. He was a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and was awarded a knighthood in 1886.
Ben and Hurley share what appears to be an Apollo Bar while they wait for Locke to come out of the cabin.
The test objects Richard Alpert uses with young Locke are: a baseball mit, The Book Of Laws, a corked vial of a grandulated substance (sand from the island?), a compass, a knife, and a Mystery Tales comic book
The comic book Richard Alpert shows young Locke is "Mystery Tales" issue #40, which was published in April of 1956 by Atlas Comics. The cover contains the text "What was the Secret of the Mysterious Hidden Land?" and "Does it Pay to Ignore the Voice of Warning?"
The Book Of Laws (one of the objects Richard Alpert uses to test young Locke) was written in 1904 by Aleister Crowley extols the philosophy of thelema. Thelema is a philosophy of life based on the rule or law, "Do what thou wilt."
The Myth Of Sisyphus is seen in Locke's dream. Horace Goodspeed is seen cutting down a tree, only to have that tree reappear uncut, which he then cuts down again in a seemingly repetitive loop. This is an apparent reference to the myth of Sisyphus, whom the gods punish by forcing him to push a boulder up a hill, only to have the boulder roll back down for him to push again in a eternally repeating loop
Richard Alpert's line "I'm Richard, John. I run a school for kids who are... extremely special, and I have reason to believe that you might be one them." is almost word for word a very common line spoken by Charles Xavier (Professor X) in the various incarnations of “X-Men" when recruiting young mutants.
83., 84. and 85. (12., 13. and 14.) There's No Place Like Home
The Oceanic 6 lies:
There were only 8 survivors of the crash.
The fate of Libby, Charlie and Boone.
Kate was 6 months pregnant at the time of the crash.
As the plane was filling up with water, the group got to the emergency door and got out before it went down.
They were in the water for a day
Kate gave birth to Aaron on the island
Aaron is five weeks old
The survivors were carried by the ocean's current to an uninhabited island in the Lesser Sunda Islands known as Membata.
They used seat cushions and life jackets to float
On day 103, a typhoon washed up the remnants of an Indonesian fishing boat, including basic supplies and a survival raft.
On day 108, the remaining six survivors used this raft to journey to an island called Sumba. They then came ashore near a village called Manukangga. Once it was discovered who they were, they were transported to Honolulu by the U.S. Coast Guard.
Jin didn’t survive the crash
The Oceanic 6 landed at Kalaeloa Airport, home of the Coast Guard Air Station (CGAS) Barbers Point, as indicated by the plane's markings and the distinctive air traffic control tower
Membata, the name of the island the Oceanic 6 claimed to have lived on, is Indonesian for "doubt" or "uncertainty".
A Geronimo Jackson record jacket is near the DJ at Hurley’s surprise party
The mirror Ben uses is a heliograph or signaling mirror
Sawyer refers to the Barracks as "New Otherton," the producers' nickname for the location
Apparently Locke has taken the name Jeremy Bentham in the near future. We find out he is the one in the coffin first seen “Through The Looking Glass”. Also, before his death, we learn that Locke had visited Walt, Jack and Kate.
Jeremy Bentham (Locke) was an English jurist, philosopher, and legal and social reformer. He was a political radical, and a leading theorist in Anglo-American philosophy of law. He is best known for his advocacy of utilitarianism, for the concept of animal rights and his opposition to the idea of natural rights, with his oft-quoted statement that the idea of such rights is "nonsense upon stilts." He also influenced the development of welfarism.
We learn that the Oceanic 6 are actually rescued by Penelope Widmore’s boat The Searcher.
Jack is listening to the Pixies song “Gouge Away” while driving to the bridge
We learn that Desmond did 6 months explosive ordinance disposal while in the army
We learn that Jack (visited twice), Walt (along with his grandmother) and Sayid visited Hurley in the hospital
According to Walt, none of the Oceanic 6 visited him.
According to Miles, Charlotte has been on the island.
We learn that Charlotte has been searching for where she was born
Station 6 or The Orchid is a fake botanical station that houses many numbered white rabbits. It contains a vault where supposedly time travel is possible. It is also where the “donkey wheel” used to move the island is located.
Sawyer says to Kate before jumping out of helicopter: "I have a daughter in Alabama. You need to find her. Tell her I'm sorry."
The Casimir effect is the attractive force between two uncharged metal plates that are placed very near to each other in a vacuum.
