Trivia:
When Ben is stopped by the doorman at the hotel Ben tells him that he is there to see Mr. and Mrs. Kendrick in 4E. Another numeral in the often referenced number sequence. 4, 8, 15, 16, 23. more
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: When Ben is watching the TV in the hotel and Sayid's name shows up in Arabic at the bottom of the screen, it's clear that the Arabic is written wrong and that his last name is misspelled. Arabic letters are supposed to be connected together, while on the screen each letter is on its own. The first 3 characters (starting from the right not left) is Sayid's first name and should all be connected as one, the last 4 characters are his last name (which is misspelled) and should say Jarrah, but instead say Jara. The 5th and 6th character should be swapped around and the last character is the wrong form of the Arabic letter "H". Also the second line under his name makes no sense, it seems like they used random characters to make up something or totally misspelled the word they were intending to use. more
Quotes:
Ben Linus: [after Sayid shoots his whole gun empty on the man who killed his wife] That should do it. more

"The Emperor's New Clothes", 25 April 2008
4/10

It is time for we "Lost" fans to face the truth - Season 4 is not remotely to the standard of the first three. The episode tonight as an overall 42 minute or so presentation was not good. At times the writing was laughable. The secret in presenting fantastic ideas and situations is to make them credible. We did not see this tonight. At the beginning of the season we witnessed a desperate attempt to create a new season by largely creating an almost new show with fresh characters and story lines. That would be wonderful T.V if it worked, but it doesn't and viewing figures show that we, the public, are not buying it. The show now is just a blatant attempt to keep everybody's job and money coming in for the network. End the show this season and let us all remember when "Lost" was superb, compelling viewing during those first three seasons. Please.
