Do No Harm - S1-E20

Revealing mistake: Jack's left arm is bandaged from Boone's blood transfusion. After the shot of Shannon, as she cries over Boone, Jack sits on the beach in the wide shot and the bandage is on his right arm, but in the following shots it's on his left. Yet another flipped shot. (00:41:35)

Do No Harm - S1-E20

Audio problem: After Claire's baby is born, when Jack speaks to Kate he says, "It's a beautiful healthy baby," and in the next shot, facing Kate, Jack is still speaking but nothing is heard. (00:41:55)

Do No Harm - S1-E20

Continuity mistake: In the scene where Michael and Sawyer are eating some fish on the beach (with Jin working on the raft) a pregnant Claire has a quick conversation with them and heads into the forest. About 20 seconds later Kate runs into Michael and Sawyer, and runs into the forest at full speed. Kate later finds Claire in labour, who somehow had gotten further out than Kate, even though Kate was running at high speed in the woods. There is no way a pregnant girl could have beat Kate to that position, even considering how long it took Jin to find them from the beach.

The Greater Good (a.k.a. Sides) - S1-E21

Continuity mistake: Sayid wears a black tank top when he speaks at Boone's burial, and it has a wide shallow tear and small hole at the collar. When he walks away with Jack, who is complaining about Locke, though the style of top is identical, now the tear is narrower and deeper, and the hole is bigger. Throughout this episode the tear, on the tank top Sayid wears, alternates, and the hole even disappears. (00:08:50)

The Greater Good (a.k.a. Sides) - S1-E21

Continuity mistake: Just as Sayid walks out of the building (number on both doors is 815), the white van pulls up. When Sayid gets in, in the exterior shot, the door he opens is opened to Sayid's left, but in the next interior shot, the door is opened to Sayid's right (the door to his left is closed). In this shot the building is seen behind Sayid - note the number 815 on both doors have vanished, and the chipped wall paint differs. (00:33:55)

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.

Season 1 generally

Question: When Claire is pregnant with her baby, her belly looks very realistic. Does anyone know how they make it look so real?

Answer: Using a mold, a realistic pregnancy belly is made of latex (rubber), including the distinct belly button, to suit the proportions of Emilie de Ravin who plays Claire. It is then painted with a special paint/adhesive compound that adheres to the surface and for shots of the actual belly, additional veining and stretch marks are airbrushed on.
