Notes:

1. They mention Locke's brother in this episode and then we never hear about him again.

4. With the 4 guns from the Halliburton, 1 from the marshal, and 1 from the dead priest, they have 6 guns now.

6. We find out later that Desmond heard Locke in the hatch.
7. The scene where Locke goes to Anthony Cooper's house at the end and he goes back to the hatch on the island are almost mirror images of eachother. Cooper took Locke's kidney away and he didn't get what he wanted. The island took Boone and he didn't get what he wanted from it. He was conned. He put his time into these two things and thought he'd get something in return and he didn't. The stories parallel eachother.
8. From Lostpedia: Deus Ex Machina originated as a theatrical device in ancient Greek theatre. This device consisted of a physical crane that lowered a character down onto the stage, the character representing a god. This god would help the characters with a sudden twist in plot. This term would come to mean any device within a plot that provided a sudden change, or solution, in plot; Deus Ex Machina literally translates into "God from the machine" in Latin; In script writing, the term Deus Ex Machina is often used to refer to a solution to the story, a means to an end that comes out of nowhere and has nothing to do with the story, sometimes leaving the audience feeling cheated; Deus Ex Machina is one of the final chapters of Watership Down written by Richard Adams.
