Notes:

1. The reunion is such an iconic scene that we've all been waiting for since Season 1, and the antithesis of the beginning of the Series, just one that we probably all thought would happen at the very end, not in Season 4. 
   
2. I totally knew who Jack's mom, Margo Shephard, was. She was in White Rabbit.
3. Kate looks around when they get off the plane because she's wondering if someone is there to arrested her.
   
4. Karen Decker was Admiral Cain from Battlestar Galactica. Nice!
5. The plane lands in Hawaii, where they actually film the show.
   
6. Jack can never have Locke be right about anything, can he?
7. Uh, Kate, I don't know if you've noticed, but Jack and Sawyer are always fighting eachother. Mostly over you. You're part of the problem.
8. There is so much information in the Oceanic press conference scene. 
9. Membata is Indonesian for ambivalent.
10. I find it hard to believe that anyone buys that Kate was six months pregnant before she got on the plane.
11. When Sun translate the Korean-speaking reporters question, her parents give her a weird look, this is because they do no know that she can speak English. However, she can kind of just pass that off as living on an island for over 100 days with people who are constantly speaking English.
    
12. The whole story of the Oceanic 6 makes no sense.
13. Naveen Andrews' acting in the scene where he sees Nadia is just outstanding. He blinks his eyes as if he wants to see if he's dreaming or not, and he's too much in shock to even kiss her. That's real. It's not a love-story happy-ending reunion that most television shows and movies have. If that really happened, anyone would be too much in shock to even do anything.
14. You can't fool me, I knew exactly who Noor Abed Jaseem was.
15. Sawyer refers to the barracks as New Otherton, which is Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse's nickname for the barracks.
16. From Lostpedia: Hurley's birthday party scene contained the following "Easter eggs": 4 palm trees on the lanai, 8 helium balloons tied by the pool, 15 presents on the lanai table, 16 party hats worn by background individuals, 23 & 42 were the Numbers on the jerseys worn on the 2 boys crossing over the pool right after the DJ was shown.
17. When Hurley's dad, David Reyes, mentions hunting boar on the island, Sayid and Nadia look at eachother as if he knows something in which he shouldn't. This indicates that Hurley has told his dad about the Island, but also that Sayid has told Nadia about the Island, which could mean that he told her everything, and may be why she ultimately died. 
18. Sun is so badass when she goes to stick it to her father. I wish she was like that all the time.
19. Frank says that the boat is the safest place to be. Wrong.
    
20. Jack says that he had a lot of practice with funerals, obviously he means all of the people that died on the island.
21. Jack finding out that Claire is his sister is much like Luke finding out that Leia is his sister in Star Wars.
22. Of course Kate's son is beautiful, Carole Littleton, because he's Claire's son, your grandson!

Questions:

1. Why does Miles think it will be so easy for Ben to get $3.2 million?
2. What is The Temple? Why is it only for the Others?

6. Was Libby a hallucination or the smoke monster?
7. What stopped the gun from firing and Michael committing suicide? Was it the island? Was it Jacob?

10. Why won't the island let Michael kill himself?
11. How did Miles know that Michael's name wasn't really Kevin?

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
9.  "Did the bullet bounce off your skull, or did the gun just jam on you?" 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.

And the night that he died for nothing, I was sitting right up there, all alone, beating my hand bloody against that stupid door—screaming to the heavens asking what I should do.

Notes:

1. Desmond exclaims "You" and laughs when he sees Jack, just as Jack did when he recognized Desmond in Man of Science, Man of Faith.
2. Kelvin dies as Sayid arrives to the island, also convenient.
3. The whispers when Sawyer, Jack, Kate and Hurley are taken, from DarkUFO: This is no good (or), Let's do something (or), We're near them. He's asking him something. Yeah, but what happened? They saw a smoke signal. Elizabeth. Did (does) somebody see you (or), It looks like her, but. You're on her right. Behind you. I'll have to listen to the dreams (trees) to learn (find) something. He'll need to instruct you (or), Do we ambush? Why can't you (two) do it (or), Can't you see (Sawyer gets hit with dart). Got to have a team with you. Okay, crank it up (Kate: Sawyer!). I knew that something bad would happen. I assume this is how you would do it. Don't tell anyone he wants it done (or), Don't want anyone to die. Let's assemble them (or), This is similar (or), What's this symbol of? (Jack: Run! Go! Go!) It was her. So she was never taken (or), So she must never take it (or), I'm sure it's just new to you. Said I was about to (or), Someone attacked them. Get your butt out of there. Try the sequence. Had to be given lessons. Turn it on beside you. Don't do it. Don't see. (Gunshots) You're gonna have to do it. You are too. Why can't we choose (or), I can't reach it. Two more people (or), Too young people. I'm frightened. Please. Come on, it's simple. Intruder alert. Do you think I should I lock this? No, I've seen them before. Close the door. You all need me.
4. Sayid, Sawyer and Jack=Charlie's Angels?
5. Um, what purple sky?
6. Also, Charlie, you might want to tell people that Desmond, Eko and Locke may be dead in the hatch instead of hanging out for hours with the cute, blonde chick with a baby.
7. The first time the show went to the off-island scene, with the men in the station speaking Portuguese, I really thought it was another show or a commercial.
