    • Trivia
      Jorge Garcia confirmed on his own podcast that he added in Hurley's line where he asks Richard Alpert if he's a "vampire". Garcia wasn't sure if the line would be left in, but to his own surprise, it was.
    • Goofs
      Ben and his father are talking about what life could have been like if they had stayed on the island. Ben is changing his father's oxygen tank during the conversation. He goes to the cabinet, puts the empty tank away, and gets a new, "full" tank. He connects the new tank to the regulator and the gauge is briefly shown. The gauge shows that the tank is "in the red", which means that it is nearly empty.

      Ben Linus: I'm fine. Thank you.

    Ben's Redemption
    Ben flees and meets Ilana, Sun, Miles and Frank also escaping from the attack to the temple. Ilana gives the ashes of Jacob to Miles to know how he died, and he tells that Ben killed him. Ilana forces Ben to dig his grave, but Locke offers him the chance to escape.

    In the parallel reality, Dr. Linus plots a Machiavellian scheme to overthrow Principal Reynolds and occupy his position. But he sacrifices his plan to help the student Alex Rousseau.

    "Dr. Linus" is another strange episode with the redemption of the despicable Ben. The writers continue stalling the conclusion of this show and now expect that the viewers feel sympathy for the sordid Ben? My vote is six.
