Lost

The Brig - S3-E19

Corrected entry: Naomi Doret, the woman who parachuted onto the island, is explaining about the outside world finding the wreckage of flight 815 "off the coast of Bali, in an ocean trench 4 miles deep". The problem with that statement is that Bali is nowhere near the Pacific Ocean, it's in the Indian Ocean. Oceanic flight 815 was a direct flight from Sydney, Australia to Los Angeles, US. That flight wouldn't go anywhere near the Indian Ocean or Bali.

Correction: The flight didn't stay on course, the pilot said before they crashed they were a thousand miles off course.

Correction: When Jack, Kate and Charlie find the front of the plane and the pilot, he tells them that he had lost communication, and then he turned around, but by the time they had crashed, they were at least 1,000 miles off course.

The Man Behind the Curtain - S3-E20

Corrected entry: When Sawyer was playing the tape to the group showing where Juliet was still working for the others; she and Jack walked up and she told them to turn the tape over and play it. On the other side it had her instructions and what they were planning to do in the next two days. She said she told Jack what the others were forcing her to do and what they had planed and when. However, earlier Richard was asking Ben if he wanted him to deliver the tape with the new instructions for Juliet and Ben was telling him he already did the instructions and was fixing to ask Tom where it was when Locke interrupted him by walking into camp carrying his dead father. Plus there was no recorder there for Ben to tape instructions and even if he did, there was no way Juliet could have known what was on the opposite side of the tape for Locke had took it and gave it to Sawyer.

Correction: I don't believe there's a mistake here. John Locke saw Ben put the recorder in the drawer. That's how he knew what to steal and from where. For Juliet it was just the normal routine. Whenever she got the recorder back, instructions would be on the other side of the tape. It is somewhat strange though that Juliet's side is playing instead of the side last recorded while John Locke didn't mention the impending assault on the camp to Sawyer.

Par Avion - S3-E12

Corrected entry: After Kate climbs over the pylon fence, in the shots were she is checking on Mikhail (man with the eye patch) his "dead" body is breathing. (00:27:55)

libb

Correction: He was pretending he was dead because later he was running through the jungle when he met Desmond.

So surely Kate would have noticed him breathing.

Flashes Before Your Eyes - S3-E8

Corrected entry: Desmond claims that he was saving Charlie's life by saving Claire from drowning by jumping in before he does. However, if Desmond had not had a flash to witness the event of him dying, Charlie wouldn't have known it was happening either as he followed Desmond to the event. As we find out later, they were a mile inland, so there's no way Charlie could have found out until a long time after Claire had drowned.

Life700

Correction: Incorrect. After they learned that Eko was killed, they would have returned to the beach, where Claire was drowning. Then Charlie would have died trying to save her.

Flashes Before Your Eyes - S3-E8

Corrected entry: In the London pub, Desmond refers to the barman as the "bartender", a word never used in England. He also gets a drink without paying, leaving money on the bar when he leaves - this may be the American way, but in British pubs you always pay when you receive your drink.

Correction: It can hardly be said that ALL British pubs make you pay when you order your drink. Also, I've heard bartender used in England by English people.

Greatest Hits - S3-E21

Corrected entry: In the first season of Lost we discover, after Charlie calls for help to save a drowning woman, that he can't swim. But in this episode we see him swimming down to the underwater outpost to enable the castaways to get off the island.

Correction: He's been on the island for some considerable time by that point - more than enough to get the hang of it.

Tailkinker

He may have got the basics but to have learnt how to dive is a bit of a stretch.

Not In Portland - S3-E7

Corrected entry: Towards the end, when Juliette shoots Danny in the chest, she fires three times, although when Danny falls down dead, there are only two bullet holes in his chest.

Correction: She missed with one shot, just because she fired 3 times doesn't mean all 3 shots were accurate.

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)

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.
