White Rabbit - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Sawyer asks of Boone, "So how does it feel?" Boone sits with his knees up and his arms crossed over his knees, but in Boone's close-up he sits normally with legs down, arms uncrossed. Then, as Sawyer walks away Boone sits just as in the first shot. (00:40:15)

Super Grover

Exodus (1) - S1-E23

Revealing mistake: When we see Jack and Co on the way to Black Rock, walking along some rocks just as Locke notices the scratches on Danielle's arm, Jack's tattoo is not visible on his left shoulder, revealing a flipped shot. (00:24:30)

Born to Run - S1-E22

Continuity mistake: When Kate runs out of the hospital room, she goes through a door with her right arm/shoulder going first. Camera changes to the other side of the door and now her left arm/shoulder is going through first. (00:31:00)

Born to Run - S1-E22

Continuity mistake: When Sawyer holds up the passport for Michael to see, the way he holds it changes between shots. In the first shot he is holding it at an angle, and in the next it's perfectly level. (00:28:00)

Born to Run - S1-E22

Continuity mistake: When Sawyer throws the bottle to Michael, Michael's arm moves between shots. Easy to tell as in the close up of the bottle, you can see his fingers flat on the floor but they're not there in the next shot. (00:26:30)

Born to Run - S1-E22

Continuity mistake: When Walt is talking to Locke about the injury to his leg, Locke doesn't have a bandage on his leg. However, a couple of seconds later he's pulling his trouser leg down with a bandage around his leg. (00:25:30)

Ssiscool

Deux Ex Machina - S1-E19

Continuity mistake: Boone throws a statue out of the plane on to the ground by Locke. When the statue smashes, it's in the middle of a small circle that is cleared of leaves and vegetation. However, when Locke picks up the pieces, the small circle of cleared ground is gone. (00:32:10)

Deux Ex Machina - S1-E19

Continuity mistake: Boone explains who Terresa was and he has a bag strap across his chest. (The strap is the same colour as his shirt but is distinguishable by the lack of wrinkles in his shirt.) During camera changes, this bag strap disappears without him removing it. (00:25:00)

Ssiscool

Numbers - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: Just after the bunker has blown up, Jack and Sayid are talking. Throughout this conversation, the key on the necklace around Jack's neck keeps changing from out to tucked in constantly. (00:29:20)

House of the Rising Sun - S1-E6

[While fleeing from an angry swarm, Kate takes her shirt off as insects are trapped in it. Charlie later finds her and hands her the shirt she dropped with a questioning look.]
Kate: It was full of bees.
Charlie: [Looking at her chest.] I'd say more like C's.
