I wanted to get this all out there before catching up on the thread.
First off, I think it's significant and not at all random that Jack is 23. Like I mentioned in another post that wasn't even dealing with this issue, the spelling of Jack's last name Shepard isn't inline with the biblical spelling of, Shepherd, but aside from that, the 23 Psalms deals with the Lord being my shepherd. It's like the Lord is taking care of us in much the same way Jack (as doctor) took care of everyone on the island.
I wonder if we could get such biblical references for each of the characters?
I'll be typing up another post dealing with the numbers in a bit (I'm not even sure it's all relevant to the finale of the show), but one thing I did note that I found extremely odd was, Flocke crossed Ford's name off the list as he was speaking to Sawyer. I think that too is very significant. Does that imply that everyone else had their shot at taking over at one point or another and that's how their names got crossed off? Could everyone on the island have been touched by Jacob at one point or another?
