from entertainment weekly review of last night's episode:
loved this excerpt:
The episode was called ''The Little Prince,'' no doubt named after the novella by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. It's about an alien boy who crashes in the Sahara and meets another castaway, a French pilot, who becomes responsible for the boy's welfare as his health erodes and his angst intensifies with the realization that he was never supposed to leave his magical little meteorite home, his community, and his one true love — his constant. Like the book, last night's Lost doted on themes of friendship, loyalty, sacrifice, community, and commitment. Those values were repeated throughout the night through so many like-minded lines. ''It's about protecting the ones we love.'' ''Are you with me?'' ''I have always been with you.'' ''It's what any friend would do.'' ''This is all happening because they left. I think it will stop if I can bring them back.'' ''We are responsible for your actions.'' ''This baby is all of us.'' ''It doesn't matter what I want.'' (By contrast, we were made to distrust Ben thanks to a line issued by Sayid that articulates the total opposite of these values: ''The only side he's on is his own.'')
In his book, Saint-Exupery articulates all of these sentiments with one classic line: ''You become responsible for what you tame.'' The word ''tame,'' we are told, simply means ''to create ties.'' For me, last night's Lost was all about the taming thing.

If you disrespect your character, or play it just for laughs, it will sell some gags, but it's all technique.

I can't stop looking at the Dharma-brand saltines on the floor.
Or Juliet's cleavage.

my favorite bit of info from Lostpedia:
Transformers: Dan Norton's license plate is 4PCI382. This is the same as the plate worn by Ironhide in this 2007 film. It's possible, however, that is merely a reused Hollywood stock license plate rather than an intentional reference.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN????
