Every Man For Himself: Easter Eggs
October 26th 2006 19:19
Lost episode, "Every Man For Himself", was rife with Easter Eggs this week. Most of them concerned the numbers ( 4 8 15 16 23 42 ), which seem to be something all the survivors of flight 815 have in common.
Sawyer is VCPI inmate number 840. Eight and four are numbers
Munson is VCPI inmate number 248. Again, the four and the eight.
A parallel with season one. Desmond gives Paolo golf advice and Paolo scoffs. "You know how to golf?" Desmond replies, "I'm Scottish." In season one, Jack offered Kate golf advice and she, too, scoffed. Jack said, "I'm a doctor." Perhaps related is the fact that Desmond nearly became a doctor, too. Would that make Desmond the better golf player?
The rabbit had a number eight painted on its back.
Albuquerque. Cassidy Philips and daughter Clementine are living near Albuquerque. Sawyer sets up a bank account there in Clementine's name with his finder's fee portion of the ten million dollars. Kate robbed a bank in Albuquerque to get the toy plane in "Whatever the Case May Be". This may be the incident Sawyer referred to when he said, "I made this birthday wish four years ago." and the producers said that was a reference to a real connection between Sawyer and Kate.
Area Ops 4. The location where Jack was taken to try to save Colleen. This Easter egg only showed up on HDTVs.
16. The last reading we see on the monitor before Colleen dies.
Of Mice and Men Sawyer is reading the book by John Steinbeck while he is in prison in the backstory. He tells Munson, "Now you've had a good cry, mind if I go back and see if George gets his farm?" The irony there is that George doesn't get his farm, the book ends tragically, and Sawyer doesn't seem to have a clue about it. Later in the episode, when Ben quotes part of the book to Sawyer, we realize Sawyer didn't finish it. Has Sawyer been putting on a show all this time? He seems to read a lot, but maybe he just does it for the chicks.
X-rays. Someone has a massive tumor on the L4 vertebra. Four again.
Desmond's lightning rod. Desmond predicts the rain within a minute to Hurley. This is reminiscent of Locke predicting the rain within four minutes to Boone in season one.
The sting. Sawyer reports that the ten million is hidden in a red bronco parked in a storage facility off 441, in 23C. The four and the twenty-three. Jack's seat on flight 815 was 23B, but he moved to 23C to comfort a nervous Rose and was still sitting in it when the plane broke apart.
Sawyer's nicknames in this episode:
Chinatown, for Danny Pickett
Costanza, for Munson
Mergatroyd, for Munson
George, for Ben, a reference to "Of Mice and Men".
Freckles, for Kate
Doc, for Jack
Did I miss anything? Get something wrong? Let me know.

I love Sawyers nicknames.
My nickname for Benjamin is bug-eye.

I don't have much nice to say about Ben, either. Come to think of it, has Sawyer given him a nickname? I might need to go back through earlier episodes to find out. Yet another thing for my obsessive self to do.
