Exodus (1) - S1-E23

Continuity mistake: When Jack and Ana-Lucia sit in the airport lounge she takes out her cell phone when it rings, and in this shot her glass is nearly full and has plenty of ice. Yet, when she leaves a moment later, the glass is nearly empty with no ice whatsoever. (00:12:50)

House of the Rising Sun - S1-E6

Revealing mistake: After Jack brings some survivors back to the cave, there is a shot of Hurley turning on his CD player to listen to Willie Nelson. In the next shot of Jack, as he fills bottles with water, his large tattoo is on his right upper arm, but normally it is on his left. The shot is flipped. (00:39:40)

Deux Ex Machina - S1-E19

Visible crew/equipment: When Boone climbs up the vines toward the plane, in the first wide shot there is a rather conspicuous round CG blur at Boone's left hip that moves as he moves. Then, in some following wide shots the black stunt belt at Boone's waist is perfectly visible as he makes his way up. In Boone's close-ups no such aids are on his body. (00:30:35)

Exodus (2) - S1-E24

Factual error: Hurley arrives at the departure gate and calls to the woman to wait and let him board. As he goes through the gate, a sign with the word 'authorized' is visible to the left. This scene supposedly takes place in an Australian airport, but this is the American spelling - in Australia, the word is spelled 'authorised'.

STP

Exodus (2) - S1-E24

Continuity mistake: In the shot of Michael, just as the raft hits the log, the "ladder" and sail are directly behind him and Sawyer is gone, whereas in the previous and following shots Sawyer stands on the ladder, in that exact spot. (00:34:00)

Solitary - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: When Sayid is pulled upside down in the trap, he swings toward the tree and is stabbed by the branch. It is an entirely different branch in each of the following shots: first - when he is stabbed, second - when it sticks out of his thigh, third - when he pulls it out. (00:03:20)

Exodus (1) - S1-E23

Continuity mistake: When Danielle approaches the beach campsite, in his close-ups, Walt hides beside a tree and holds it with his left hand. However, in the shot between his close-ups, facing Danielle, Walt is hunched over with his hands leaning on his knees. (00:03:30)

Super Grover

Born to Run - S1-E22

Continuity mistake: When Kate burns Joanna's passport photo in the close-up the corner of the book burns up, yet in the wider shot the corner does not burn, and in the next shot another change, including the lighter. Later, when Sawyer holds up the passport, the burned page edge is just a bit singed. (00:10:30 - 00:29:00)

Exodus (1) - S1-E23

Continuity mistake: On the way to the Black Rock, when Danielle removes her sweater Locke notices the long scratches on her arm. Later, when Claire questions Danielle the scratches are very different and their positions differ. (00:24:30)

Exodus (2) - S1-E24

Continuity mistake: When Sayid goes over to Shannon to help her with her luggage her trunk falls down open and some clothes fall out. Then Sayid picks up some shirts. But when it cuts to Shannon grabbing them from him he is holding fewer and different looking shirts than he picked up first. (00:16:15)

Mortug

Tabula Rasa - S1-E3

Revealing mistake: After Kate rescues Ray, she pulls out his prosthetic right arm. In the following shots, his upper body is deliberately shown and there is a blatantly apparent outline and very long wide bulge of the actor's right arm, under his shirt and overalls. (00:31:35)

Super Grover

Numbers - S1-E18

Factual error: When Hurley is running through 'Sydney Airport', he runs past a sign that reads 'Kamehameha', which is the name of a Hawaiian king. This sign shouldn't be there if Hurley is in Sydney Airport.

Numbers - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: When Hurley returns and gives the battery to Jack, Hurley says "She says hey". Then it cuts to a close-up of Sayid and we can see the bag's strap going over his shoulder. When it cuts the strap is gone. (00:35:25)

Whatever the Case May Be - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Kate and Sawyer begin their swim, Kate is not wearing a bracelet on either wrist, as she heads into the water. In a few following shots, including when Sawyer goes to "See what they got on em," Kate wears a bracelet on her right wrist, but when they head down to retrieve the case, the bracelet is gone as she pulls on the case. After Sawyer frees the case, in Kate's close-up the bracelet reappears, but now it's on her left wrist, yet when they reach the surface the bracelet's on her right wrist. Whew! (00:03:10)

Super Grover

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.
