Pilot (1) - S1-E1

Other mistake: The Monster appearing in the pilot and causing the turbine to explode is a mistake (not trivia). This is actually an artefact of poor CGI effects that was left in the show in error. It was confirmed by the producers. You can see it best here: http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/Image:Turbine_Explosion.gif.

Walkabout - S1-E4

Other mistake: When Jack and Rose talk the second time on the beach, they talk while it is cloudy and overcast. However, as Jack stands up to leave, he is brightly illuminated by sunshine.

House of the Rising Sun - S1-E6

Other mistake: When Walt says to his dad that his mum never talks about him, something briefly blows into shot at the top of the screen. There is no logical explanation for this as they are walking by the water, under no cover and nothing is around. (00:18:50)

Solitary - S1-E9

Other mistake: When Sayid is following the cable there is a shot of him walking towards the camera. In this shot on the screen left a white towel-like item flaps into shot briefly. (00:02:50)

Homecoming - S1-E15

Other mistake: Ethan kills one of the survivors. Sawyer thinks it's Steve but Hurley corrects him and tells him that it was actually Scott. They make a point of Scott being the deceased and Steve being the one people mix him up with. According to the actors playing Scott and Steve it was in fact Steve who got killed but the producers messed it up.

Deux Ex Machina - S1-E19

Continuity mistake: When Jack speaks to Michael and Jin, as they build the raft, and then when he walks up the beach and inquires about Sawyer's trouble with his head, the backpack that Jack carries on his back is nylon, black/green with white trim. Yet, when Sawyer asks, "Sensitivity to light, that bad?" the backpack is suddenly transformed into solid black leather, of an entirely different style. Then, in following shots it jumps back and forth. (00:16:40)

The Glass Ballerina - S3-E2

Benjamin Linus: Your flight crashed on September 22,2004. Today is November 29th. That means you've been on this island for sixty-nine days. And yes, we do have contact with the outside world, Jack. That's how we know that during those sixty-nine days, your fellow Americans re-elected George W. Bush, Christopher Reeve has passed away, Boston Red Sox won the World Series.
[Jack begins to laugh.]
Benjamin Linus: What?
Jack Shepard: [Still laughing.] If you wanted me to believe that, you probably should have picked somebody else besides the Red Sox.
Bejmain Linus: No, they were down 3-0 against the Yankees in the Championship Series and then won eight straight.
Jack Shepard: [Skeptically.] Sure, sure. Of course they did.
[Ben turns on a VCR.]
Joe Buck: Back to Foulke... Red Sox fans have longed to hear it! The Boston Red Sox are world champions! A clean sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals, and the Red Sox celebrate in the middle of the diamond here at Busch Stadium.

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.
