6. Was Libby a hallucination or the smoke monster?

Favorites:

1. "We're here for him. (Ben)" Miles "Um, we kind of, like, knew that forever ago." Hurley
2. "I'm sorry. You mean the same guy that killed two women in cold blood to set this little bastard free? And then sold all of us out so he could get off the Island? That Michael?" Sawyer
3. "Yeah. Miles offered his loyalty in exchange for the money. But as I haven't seen a bank on the island, I didn't think it worth mentioning." Locke
4. "He wants to survive. And considering a week ago you had a gun to his head, and tonight he's eating pound cake, I'd say he's a guy who gets what he wants." Miles
5. "It's a cold night. I brought you some extra blankets." Libby
6. "Excuse me, sir. You got the time?" Tom
   
7. "Manhattan, huh? We let you leave one island, and you just go to another one." Tom
8. "Is this the guy who hit you with the champagne bottle?" Arturo "Yeah, but I had it comin'." Tom

10. "You know those nuts that think the moon landing was faked?" Frank
11. "What, are you going Nicholson on us? You know, Jack Nicholson in The Shining, when he's bouncing that ball against the wall? Next thing you know, you're gonna go after your wife with an axe." Minkowski "I'm not married, man." Kevin 
12. "You put me on this boat, talked me into blowing it up, and when I push the damn button, a flag pops up." Michael "You actually activated the bomb?" Ben "It's not a bomb! It's a... (catches himself) It's a joke." Michael 
13. When Karl dies. That was the most hilarious death ever. Karl wonders why his water bottle was shot.

Notes:

1. So, Mr. Friendly is gay. I guess that's why Kate isn't his type, as he said in A Tale of Two Cities.
2. Michael's mother notes that he was missing for over two months, which tells us that time on the island and off the island are the same. It had been speculated for a long time that time on the island may lapse differently than the island world, but this is one of the many conformations that it hasn't.
3. Michael David Kelly claimed in an interview that it in fact was him that appeared in this episode, but obviously was digitally altered.
4. It made me kind of sad that Michael pawned the watch that Jin gave him. Jin attacked Michael for having the watch in House of the Rising Sun, but they built the raft together and quickly became friends, so Jin gave it to Michael. It was a symbol of how much they grew and their time on the island, and Michael goes and hocks it. Bastard!
5. I like how Tom has all the funny lines in this episode.
6. Michael knew Naomi was from Manchester because of Charlie.
7. When Michael sees Libby on the freighter, she is wearing the same clothing that she died in.
8. From Lostpedia: "Kevin Johnson" and "Dean Moriarty," from The Economist, share the same passport number: HNSO12153. The passport number: HNSO12153 references Hanso (HNSO) and two of the Numbers 4 and 8 (1+2+1=4 and 5+3=8).
9. Karl saying "I've got a bad feeling about this" is yet another Star Wars reference.

Locke "John, three months ago, in Gainesville, Florida, the Virgin Mary seemed to appear in a patch of mold on the side of an old housing complex. When the word got out, over 5,000 people came to see her face for themselves. You've survived an airline crash on this island. One minute, you're in a wheelchair. The next minute, you're doing jumping jacks. If 5,000 people came out to see a piece of mold, how many people do you think would come here to see you?
