Questions:

1. Where are the food drops coming from? Where are they still coming after the purge happened? Does the Dharma Initiative know what happened?
2. Do the blast doors come down so that no one sees where the pallet comes from? How did no one see it?
3. Did Locke take the money from Cooper?
4. Who killed and buried the real Henry Gale? Why?
5. When are we going to have an episode about Jack learning to play poker in Phuket?

Favorites:

1. "Hey, maybe he left you his kidney." Helen
2. "Why don't you put your mangoes where your mouth is?" Sawyer
3. "So, where'd you learn to play cards, doc?" Sawyer "Phuket." Jack "What the hell were you doing in Thailand? What? You don't think I know where Phuket is? Just cause I dropped out in the 9th grade don't make me an idiot. Far East, huh? Wouldn't have taken you for a world traveler. that where you got the art on your shoulder?" Sawyer
4. "You may have been to Phuket, doc, but I've been to Tallahassee. Let's just say something was burning and it wasn't from the sunshine." Sawyer
5. "What's going on?" Libby "Jack and Sawyer are finally gonna beat eachother up." Hurley

Notes:

1. Sawyer's comment about Jack getting the art on his shoulder in Phuket, amongst Kate asking where Jack got his tattoos from earlier in House of the Rising Sun, opened up the vault for the possibly the worst episode ever, Stranger In A Strange Land, where there is an entire episode about Jack going to Phuket and getting a tattoo.
2. On the Blast Door Map, the Monster is called Cerberus.
3. In Solitary, Sayid states that Nadia is dead to Rousseau, but we clearly see that Nadia is alive and well in this episode.
4. Another indication that Anthony Cooper is the real Sawyer.
5. Sayid = one badass mutha fucka.
