What you May Have Missed

The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham:

• The Life magazine Caesar looked at featured a cover article with photos of the first Hydrogen Bomb test from 1954. This could be a reference to the H-bomb we saw on the Island in "Jughead" that was also from 1954.
• The Number 42 was on the license plate of the truck that picked up Locke in Tunisia.
• In Locke's passport for Jeremy Bentham, his birthday is February 15, one of the Numbers. The passport lists his date of birth about eight years before Locke's actual birthdate, 8 is another number.
• When Widmore gives Locke a phone and tells him to dial the extension 23, one of the Numbers, to reach him.
• The nurse Hurley asked for help in determining if the man in the wheelchair was real is a long time employee at the Santa Rosa Mental Health Institute. Susie, or Nurse Lazenby, has been seen working there in both "Dave" and "The Beginning of the End."
• Helen Norwood's date of death was 4/8, two more of the Numbers
• There have been a lot of religious overtones to Lost lately. Another one was that John Locke bought the extension cord to hang himself from Angel's Hardware.
  
• This episode really tried to draw parallels between John Locke and Jesus Christ. Not only were both resurrected, but they made a point to show that because of the cast on his leg, Locke wore sandals, much like Jesus wore back in the day. Not only that but when Ben visited him, John Locke had his hands extended outward in a parallel to Jesus outstretched on the cross.
• In case you didn't catch it when John Locke stared off at the big Island at the start of the episode, Ajira Airways crashed on the smaller second Island that the Others took Kate, Sawyer and Jack to at the start of season 3. How do we know for sure? When Caesar was reading a file on the DHARMA Initiative in the office, it had the Hydra symbol on it. The Hydra Station was DHARMA's zoological station with the cages and underground aquarium.
