Trivia:

The bottle of Scotch that Charles Widmore keeps next to his bedside when Ben visits him is the same McClutcheon's brand Scotch that Widmore had told Desmond was too good for him to drink. It is also the same brand that Charlie & Hurley use to get Desmond drunk in "Flashes Before Your Eyes."

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: In the desert when Ben killed the 2 men, the AK-47 he used was clearly in the "safe" position. He would've needed to move it up into the "fire" position to actually use the weapon.

Quotes:

Ben Linus: [after Sayid shoots his whole gun empty on the man who killed his wife] That should do it.

"The Emperor's New Clothes"

It is time for we "Lost" fans to face the truth - Season 4 is not remotely to the standard of the first three. The episode tonight as an overall 42 minute or so presentation was not good. At times the writing was laughable. The secret in presenting fantastic ideas and situations is to make them credible. We did not see this tonight. At the beginning of the season we witnessed a desperate attempt to create a new season by largely creating an almost new show with fresh characters and story lines. That would be wonderful T.V if it worked, but it doesn't and viewing figures show that we, the public, are not buying it. The show now is just a blatant attempt to keep everybody's job and money coming in for the network. End the show this season and let us all remember when "Lost" was superb, compelling viewing during those first three seasons. Please.
