Eloise Hawking: All right. I apologize if this is confusing, but... [to Jack] Let's pay attention, yes?

Ben Linus: Thomas the Apostle. When Jesus wanted to return to Judea, knowing that he would probably be murdered there, Thomas said to the others, "Let us also go there and we might die with him." But Thomas was not remembered for this bravery. His claim to fame came later when he refuses to acknowledge the resurrection. He just couldn't wrap his mind around it. The story goes that he needed to touch Jesus wounds to be convinced.
Jack Shephard: So was he?
Ben Linus: Of course he was. We are all convinced sooner or later, Jack.

MISTAKES/GOOFS

SYNC: During the Flight 316 crash scene the plane makes noises like an empty barrel as if fuselage panels were banging against each other. Even in severe turbulence airplanes don't make such sounds. Usually it's just plastic panels squeaking and rattling.
CONT: Every time Locke's envelope is shown, the handwriting is different. Also, sometimes Jack's name is in pencil and sometimes it's in ink.
FAKE: Heloise makes a big show of turning a wheel in the center of the door to the pendulum room. But on the other side of the door the fastening mechanism is a simple dog with no need for a wheel.
FACT: On the flight to Guam there is a lighted sign in the aircraft that says "No Smoking / Fasten Seat Belt / Use Seat Bottom Cushion for Flotation". Transoceanic flights are required to have life rafts and life jackets for every passenger. "Seat Botttom Cushion" equipped aircraft are restricted to overland flights and those that stay within just a few miles of the coastline.
FAIR: During the flight back to the island, Jack is nervous and asks Ben "How can you read?" Ben calmly responds "My mother taught me." Ben's mother died during Ben's birth. This is not an error. Ben was merely being flippant with Jack.

TRIVIA

While he is waiting to board the plane, Hurley can be seen reading the graphic novel "Y: The Last Man." Its author, Brian K. Vaughan, has been a co-producer on a large number of recent Lost episodes (although not this one).
SPOILER: The book Ben reads during the flight is "Ulysses" by James Joyce (I).
WILHELM SCREAM: The scream can be heard as the flight attendant is being tossed against the cabin wall.
