What You May Have Missed

There's quite a bit here but wow was it a big episode. Also coming soon, a review and some thoughts toward the upcoming season. Just because the season ended doesn't mean we have to stop obsessing. Here's what you may have missed:

• Lost uses black and white to show opposites, good and evil, yin and yang, such as in chess or backgammon or the stones found with Adam and Eve in the caves(speaking of Adam and Eve could they be Rose and Bernard) Jacob wore a white shirt while Man #2(as he's credited on imdb) wore black. So this would lead us to believe Jacob is good and Man #2 is evil. (I'm kinda routing for Man #2)
• In the opening scene, the Black Rock is coming over the horizon, which puts this flashback around 1845.
• The boy with the toy airplane in Kate's flashback, was Tom, Kate's childhood sweetheart. She went to great lengths to get that toy airplane back.
• The license plate of the truck young Kate and Tom are standing in front of has the number 23 in it.
• Patsy Cline's music is heard in the convenience store. The music of Patsy Cline appears in every single one of Kate's flashbacks.
• When Jacob visits John, he was reading this Flannery O'Connor book of short stories. Published posthumously, the book was written when O'Connor was in the final stages of her illness and many of the short stories deal with the end, with religious-sounding titles like "Revelation" and "Judgment Day."
• Ben admitted to being a liar, so it's possible his claim to John Locke that his sign is a Pisces is just a lie. Either that or a continuity error, because we know he was born on December 19, which makes him a Sagittarius.
• In Aaron's crib, Sun found a ring marked D.S. This was Charlie's old ring that he left behind for Aaron. D. S. stands for Dexter Stratton, the paternal grandfather of Megan Pace.
  
• In Jack's flashback, Jacob visits him right after the surgery he told Kate about in the Pilot.
• After surgery, Jack's snack of choice was an Apollo Bar. The Fake Apollo Bar has been seen in many situations on and off Island.
• "What lies in the shadow of the statue?" "He who will protect us" or "He who will save us all." These are the translations of the line of Latin Richard gives as the answer.
• When it's revealed that John Locke's body is in Ilana's box, the camera angles and movements are identical to the same scene in last season's finale when John Locke's body was revealed in the coffin.
• Jacob spent many years weaving the threads together for this tapestry. It contains two ancient Greek sayings from the book The Odyssey. The first is: "May the gods grant thee all that thy heart desires." The second is: "May the gods give you happiness."
