MISTAKES/GOOFS

FACT: The fake Canadian passport that Widmore gives to Locke has a 10-year validity. Canadian passports are valid for five years.
CONT: Ilana tells John Locke, "There used to be three [boats], but the pilot [Frank Lapidus] and some woman [Sun Kwon] took one." This doesn't happen until "Lost" (2004) {Namaste (#5.9)}. (See Trivia.)
CONT: John Locke spots Benjamin Linus recovered and walking on the beach, yet Ben doesn't awaken from being hit by Sun Kwon in "Lost" (2004) {Namaste (#5.9)} when she and pilot Frank Lapidus take a boat (as stated earlier by Ilana) until "Lost" (2004) {Whatever Happened, Happened (#5.11)}. (See Trivia.)
CONT: "Lost" (2004) {The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham (#5.7)} properly takes place between the events of "Lost" (2004) {Whatever Happened, Happened (#5.11)} and "Lost" (2004) {Dead Is Dead (#5.12)}. (See Trivia.)
CONT: Ilana tells John Locke, "There used to be three [boats], but the pilot [Frank Lapidus] and some woman [Sun Kwon] took one." This doesn't happen until "Lost" (2004) {Namaste (#5.9)}. Further, John Locke spots Ben Linus recovered and walking on the beach, identifying him to Caesar as, "the man who killed me," yet Ben doesn't awaken from being hit by Sun until "Lost" (2004) {Whatever Happened, Happened (#5.11)} whereupon awakening the first thing he sees is John Locke alive again for the first time. As these scenes were set in the present and not as flashbacks, flash-forwards, or subjective past-as-present, this can only mean that "Lost" (2004) {The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham (#5.7)} was aired out of order and should have aired just before "Lost" (2004) {Dead Is Dead (#5.12)}.

TRIVIA

This was to be the eleventh episode of the season. It was aired earlier to game the sweeps ratings with stronger episodes. (See Goofs.)
Charles Widmore gives Locke a phone and tells him if he needs to get in touch he just has to ring 23 - one of the hatch numbers.
