I don't know if this is a total stretch or not, but I think the only time we have actually seen oranges throughout the whole Lost series is when Miles offers Michael a piece of one when he boards the freighter, and when Locke did his creepy orange smile in the Pilot ep. Could this be a homage to The Godfather movies?
For people who don't know what I'm talking about, the color orange or actual oranges were shown just before a death occurs in the movies. For anyone who might have brought this up long ago, my apologies.
