Lost

Dave - S2-E18

Corrected entry: Just after Hurley throws away his stash and everyone comes to get the food from the jungle (balloon), you see the faces of the people running. There is one man slightly to the side running to the food. This is Boone. He is already dead in the first season after getting shot. (00:03:05)

crazyhatguy88

Correction: A few seconds later there is a clearer shot of this person and it is not Boone.

Maternity Leave - S2-E15

Corrected entry: Ethan is inserting a needle into Claire's abdomen, a needle that large inserted into the amniotic sac at that late in a pregnancy would rupture the sac and the baby would have to be delivered. We know that Claire didn't deliver for 2 weeks after she was returned to the beach.

Boobra

Correction: We're only seeing Claire's memories of what happened. It is quite evident she was drugged the whole time, so some details can be off.

And as a memory, things can be exaggerated.

S.O.S. - S2-E19

Corrected entry: As Jack opens the door where they are keeping "Henry Gale" the door changes between shots from light wood to metal. (00:02:55)

Correction: The door never changes.

Bowling255

Dave - S2-E18

Corrected entry: When Ana Lucia kicks Sayid out of the room where they are holding "Henry Gale" she shuts the door behind Sayid. The door is a light brown color wooden door. Later, when Ana Lucia lets Lock in and shuts the door behind him, the inside of the door is metal. (00:13:25 - 00:37:55)

Correction: No the door never changes.

Bowling255

Lockdown - S2-E17

Corrected entry: When Jack is playing cards with Sawyer, Sawyer deals too many cards to Jack. He deals him two, and then deals him at least one more. Neither said anything and they were going to play with them, and they're both au fait with the rules, so it's not a character mistake.

SexyIrishLeprechaun

Correction: They never specify that they're playing Texas Hold'Em. They could be playing one of the variants, like Omaha, Pineapple, or Crazy Pineapple, where players DO get more than 2 cards.

Captain Defenestrator

The Long Con - S2-E13

Corrected entry: Ana-Lucia, like several characters before her, gets Steve mixed up with Scott. But this is not possible, because she never met Scott, who died about 3 weeks before the Tailies joined the Midsection passengers.

Correction: Ana Lucia could have easily heard Steve referred to as Scott by another character, and then got confused herself.

Dandude

Correction: This only goes to show that either a) one of the bullets missed him, and he was found with five slugs in him, or b) that Ana's mother misremembered, which is a character mistake.

Twotall

I don't know about you, but as a parent if my kid was killed I'd remember details. Something like that is distressing. And it's mentioned a few times he is shot 6 times.

Numbers - S1-E18

Visible crew/equipment: When Hurley is at the new house, after his mom hurts her ankle, he reaches into the car window to get the cell phone. When he begins to dial, the cameraman's arm moving about is reflected in the back chrome of the side view mirror. (00:12:10)

Locke: Do you play checkers with your Pop?
Walt: No. I live in Australia with My Mom. She got sick, she died a couple of weeks ago.
Locke: You're having a bad month.

Trivia: The character Sun was created specifically for Yoon-jin Kim, after she auditioned for the role of Kate but the writers felt she was not right for the role.

The End (2) - S6-E18

Question: I recently submitted a question about whether everyone died on the plane or on the island. The answer I got was unsatisfactory. The answer was they did not all die in the plane crash but on the island where the events in the show really did happen. If this is the case, everyone in purgatory at the end makes no sense. If they all died on the island, then where were other characters like Michael, Ecko, etc. Also how did Kate, Sawyer, Hurley, Ben, etc. end up dead and in purgatory at the end of the series? Last we saw them they were still alive on the island. Are we to assume that everyone died at the end of last season when the bomb went off? I need more info here.

SAZOO1975

Chosen answer: None of the main characters died in the plane crash. Many died on the island after the crash (Jack, Charlie, Sun, Jin, Daniel, Juliet, others), some lived on the island for an apparently long time after the crash (Hurley, Ben, Bernard, Rose) but some lived lives off the island after the crash (Sawyer, Kate, Claire, Miles, Aplert, and Lapidus). Remember that Christian tells Jack that "time has no meaning here," (in Purgatory). When everyone meets at the church, they are at the end of their lives however long that may have been and will now "move on" together. They look like they did on the island because that is the way they best remember each other.

Guy

That has to be the clearest explanation of the ending I've ever read.
