Character mistake: When Jack and co find Frank, we see Jack checking for a pulse and declaring there is one. However, Jack is using his thumb to check for a pulse on Frank's wrist. As a doctor, Jack would know your thumb has its own pulse. (00:33:40)
Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the episode, when Locke is preparing to shoot Ben, Ben starts talking about Charlotte and her team. Locke is then holding his gun in his right hand, and holding Ben with his left. As Ben is saying "Because I know what they're doing here", there is an angle change, and Locke is suddenly holding his gun with both hands.
Continuity mistake: 4-3: When Sayid has shot the man on the golf course, he lowers his arm twice. (00:05:40)

Continuity mistake: 4-3: When Sayid is in bed with the woman, his position changes depending on the angle.
Revealing mistake: Episode 4-4 "Eggtown": When Locke is in the basement hallway, he slams Ben's breakfast tray against the wall. The wall moves like it's thin plywood. Odd since basements are either thick wood or concrete over packed earth. (00:02:30)
Continuity mistake: When Kate and Sawyer start arguing, Sawyer's hair changes back and forth between shots from being parted to combed back.
Continuity mistake: Just after the title sequence, we see Faraday holding a map in two hands in a close-up, but with one hand and one hand pointing at the map in a longer shot. (00:10:40)

Cabin Fever - S4-E11
Continuity mistake: In the scene just after John Locke's teenage mother runs from the hospital room, the nurse converses with the grandmother. You can see her put a cigarette to her mouth with visible lipstick stains on the wrong end of the cigarette, possibly from previous takes. (00:32:10)
Continuity mistake: "The Variable": When Faraday is on about the variables, he has his jotter in his hands. Camera does a quick cut and it's now on the floor.
Continuity mistake: When Jack is walking into the medicine cupboard, he has a few small sweat stains on the back of his shirt. The camera cuts to show him turning to a different shelf, and for a split second you can see that his shirt back is now covered in a huge stain, and with large sweat rings under his arms. After he has injected Sayid, his shirt is completely dry again. (00:33:20)
Continuity mistake: At the end, when we see Ben lighting a candle with a matchstick in the cathedral during the entering of Eloise, he puts out the matchstick so we see that the flame is gone. In the next shot, the flame is back and Ben is doing exactly the same thing, but we see it from another view.
Visible crew/equipment: When Ellie is taking Daniel and the rest to Richard's camp, while they're walking through the jungle, there's a shot of Faraday and then another one of the floor as they walk. In this second shot the shadow of the cameraman, and the camera itself, is very visible.

Continuity mistake: Ses. 5, ep. 5, "This Place is Death". When Daniel is telling Charlotte that he has a plan, and explains, "When we were back at the hatch, I talked to Desmond", he places his left hand on top of his right, holding Charlotte's hand between them (seen at bottom of the screen). When the angle changes to a shot above his shoulder, his left hand is suddenly back under Charlotte's head, with no time to move between shots. (00:32:50)
