Trivia

During a flashback, Bernard and Rose visit "Isaac of Uluru", a faith-healer at an apparent sheep station in the shadow of Uluru (aka Ayers Rock). Anyone who has visited Uluru would know that it is a sacred site and is situated in a sprawling national park. The only non-aboriginal settlement anywhere near it is the Yulara Tourist Resort 18km (11mi) away.

Goofs

The restaurant where Bernard proposes to Rose in Niagara Falls, NY is at an impossible location, given the view out the windows. The shot seems to be from the Observation Deck, on which there is no restaurant.

A Rose Is A Rose

While Rose's husband becomes absolutely obsessed abut getting off the island, Rose tries to make him see fate has brought them there. It is revealed that he took Rose to Australia to a medicine man, seeking a cure, but it is the island that has cured Rose. She now fears leaving it. Jack and Kate go after the Others, looking to exchange "Henry" for Walt. Much of the epi is a flashback involving Rose and her husband, A little of Rose and her husband goes a long way, if you get my drift. And the business with Jack and Kate gets downright silly, as they end up in a net together. It might have been sexy played by two other actors, but not these two.
