Visible crew/equipment: S4xE8 "Meet Kevin Johnson": Near the end, Karl has nothing in his left ear when he and Alex sit down and start talking, but when Karl falls onto the ground, the actor has a wireless earwig device in his left ear in his close-up, before Alex turns him over. Then, when Alex sits by the tree distraught, Danielle tries to convince her to listen, and in Alex's extreme close-ups, she has a mini lav mic (similar style to DK3 series) at her right ear that becomes visible.

Eggtown - S4-E4

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)

Grumpy Scot

Confirmed Dead - S4-E2

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.

Season 4 generally

Continuity mistake: Ep. 4-12 "There's no place like home". In the first flashforward, the Oceanic representative talks to the survivors about meeting the press. As she finishes by saying, "See you on the ground", you can see baby Aaron on Kate's lap, and she is holding his left hand in hers down by his side. Cut to a close-up of Kate, and Aaron suddenly has both hands free and is holding them up to his mouth. (00:02:25)

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)

Confirmed Dead - S4-E2

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)

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.
