"The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham" aired to very mixed reviews this week. It is the first "controversial' episode this season. The grades ranged from perfect 10's to a low of 3. The three came from admitted John Locke fan Lil. This alone is raising eyebrows. The rating average came out to a season low 7.86. The expectations for this episode were high and many believed that the episode did not deliver. This may have lead to some to grade this episode more harshly.

Searching through the Hydra, Caesar comes across some old magazines. An Issue of LIFE dated April 19, 1954 catches his eye. The cover features an image of a Hydrogen Bomb exploding during a test. I suppose when a Hydrogen Bomb shows up on your island, it's good to do some research on the subject. Especially when some crazy guy from "the future" just tells you to bury it and everything will be fine. That issue also featured an article called "Julia in Jeopardy". Julia is Julia Adams (I believe), an actress in The Creature from the Black Lagoon - which the article reviewed, and of which we also see a pic of. The Black Lagoon being a "paradise that no one has ever returned from" could be seen as another thematic LOST reference. Also, as pointed out in the comments, the very same Julia Adams has appeared as an actress on LOST. Follow the jump for more!

Caesar locates some files in The Hydra station that includes Dan Faraday's map and one of his journal pages concerning time travel. Also included is Rousseau's map. We've seen that Dan will eventually go to the Orchid station during Dharma's final days. Now, we also know he makes a trip to the Hydra (or someone takes his papers there, anyways). Those papers are still there 30 years later when Ajira 316 crashes on the island (if we assume the crash occurs in 2007). Now, let this blow your mind. Before Rousseau even begins drawing her map, before she even conceives of it, there is already a finished version of that map laying in the Hydra Station. Therefore, once she does draw her map, there are then two identical copies of it on the island. The same applies to Dan's map and his journal page. Take a look using the link below.

So, Locke's pseudonym was bestowed upon him by none other than Charles Widmore. Locke is given a new name, and a new passport to trek the globe with. According to the passport, Bentham is a Canadian, born in New York in 1948. Take a look after the jump.
