Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Show season: Whole show 1 2 3 4 All

Across whole show

In an early episode, Michael tells somebody that he had never seen his son, Walt, until after his wife died. In episode 14, "Special," his flashback shows that he was with his son until Walt was probably 18 months old. [Michael tells Locke "I wasn't part of his life until his mother passed away, two weeks ago" as a reply to Locke's statement that Michael should be proud of Walt's bravery. That doesn't mean he never saw Walt, he probably just means that he wasn't around for the formative years that made Walt brave.]

Time

Locke had been in the wheelchair for 4 years, then miraculously, he is able to walk again after the plane crash. After 4 years in the wheelchair, his leg muscles would have deteriorated so badly, his legs would not have been able to even support his own weight, let alone walk or jog. [The key word is "miraculously." The whole idea is that a miracle, something otherworldly happened to Locke. The condition of his leg muscles is hardly an issue in this case.]

Time

After the events of 9/11 it has been illegal to bring knives on board a plane. Yet Locke manages to bring an entire set of knives on board. [It was stated in the show (episode 1.04) that Locke checked the knives (ie: they were in the aircraft's cargo hold with the rest of the luggage). Locke didn't bring the knives on board in his carry-on.]

Claire is very pregnant when the show starts. Women are not permitted to fly during their last trimester. [Tell that to my children, some of whom had their first experiences aboard an airplane, while I was in the last trimester of my pregnancies.]

In the final episode of season one, as Hurley runs to catch the doomed flight, he runs past a girl's soccer team. The numbers on their backs are 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42 - the same numbers that Hurley used to win the lottery, that are printed on the side of the hatch and that were broadcasted from the island itself. [ This isn't just trivia, it's also part of the plot. Plus, the numbers come up in a lot of situations. All of them should not be considered trivia.]

Corrected by Jane Doe Time

2 of the "numbers" in order are 8 and 15. The flight they were on was oceanic air 815. [Not significant enough to be trivia because it's obvious.]

Corrected by Jane Doe Time

How did Sawyer know "The Others" were coming for the boy? Danielle told Sayid and Charlie that well after the raft was launched. [When are are referring to? If it's after the raft is attacked by the Others, then they made it quite clear they were there for the boy and he attempted to shoot them based on them making it so clear.]

Corrected by James King III Time

Season 2, Episode 3: While Jack and Locke are watching the "Orientation" film down in the underground pod, the doctor in the film mentions that the clock must be reset before it reaches 108 minutes. "108" is the exact total of all the "Lotto Numbers" added together, which ironically are also the numbers used to program the clock. 4 + 8 + 15 + 16 + 23 + 42 = 108. [How is it ironic if the numbers are part of the mystery of the island? The numbers come up in a lot of situations, it's done on purpose by the writers. It's part of the show.]

For a computer that's easily a decade old, the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 keys (those used to input the numbers) have held up remarkably well. Not worn down at all compared to the others, which are supposed to have gone unused. [It is possible to replace keys on a keyboard, for instance when they have become very worn. And since the bunker is well-stocked with all kinds of tools and spare equipment, it is not unlikely that this has happened.]

Episode 2x19 S.O.S.: Ana-Lucia tells Locke that "I pressed your button". Locke replies with "It's not my button". The closed caption read "It's not my butt". [When closed captions are missing letters or have misspellings, it is usually the result of a reception or transmission problem. The channel reception could also affect the captions. It could also have been a stenocaptioner error. Either way, it's not a show error.]

Corrected by Jane Doe Time

The distance to the hatch constantly changes throughout the series. First it takes Boone and Locke a whole day to find it, after this however it seems to take characters nothing longer than maybe half an hour, as the time of day does not seem to change. [It possible that they found a shorter route to the hatch while they were learning the lay of the island.]

Corrected by Boobra Time

When Boone and Locke first find the hatch there is a river flowing almost right next to it. But whenever the hatch is visited hereafter there is no river to be seen anywhere. [In fact it was pretty bad weather when they found the hatch. There wasn't a river, but rainwater gushing down the slopes.]

Time

In episode "Doc": When Sun is talking to the blackmailer in the park in the beginning of the show, she demands 100 thousand dollars. Being in Korea, wouldn't she have asked for Won, which is the monetary unit of Korea?? [Not necessarily. She might have wanted the money in U.S. dollars for any of a number of reasons (for example, if she was thinking of leaving the country).]

Corrected by wizard_of_gore Time

In Episode "Through the Looking Glass," Marsha Thomason, who plays Naomi Dorrit and James Lesure, who plays Dr. Hamill, were both major actors on "Las Vegas," playing Nesa Holt and Mike Cannon. [Actors appearing in other shows and/or movies is quite common, and is not really trivia.]

Corrected by wizard_of_gore Time

They're often trying to figure out who is on the plane, but it would seem pretty easy to determine just by asking questions about innocuous things, such as the layout of Sydney airport, what food/movies they had on the plane, a description of the check-in counter, etc. There are probably hundreds of possible questions that someone who wasn't there wouldn't know. [And how much would you honestly notice about the layout of an airport, or the check-in counter (which look pretty much identical in every airport I've ever been in)? There are airports that I've arrived at or departed from, but I couldn't tell you much about the layout - you just follow the signs; you don't need to learn where everything is. Movies? All they have to say is that they didn't watch any or they were asleep so they don't remember. Food? Early on there's still food remaining from the plane, so easy to determine what was on the menu. Who were they sitting next to? Given that the majority of the plane's passengers died, would be relatively easy to simply claim to be sitting next to one of the fatalities. An infiltrator could work out a plausible answer to just about any question that they might be asked, particularly as initially the survivors have no reason to suspect that there could be anyone there who wasn't on the plane, allowing them ample time to research their story.]

Exodus (2) (series 1)

At the very end of the episode, when the passengers are boarding the doomed flight in a flashback, there is a shot of Sawyer walking down one of the aisles. If you look closely, you can see his bag bumps someone on the shoulder, and they turn around to glare at him. It's Sayid, sitting on the aisle seat of the left section of seats. However, not too long later, we see a shot of Sayid sitting down in 'his' seat, but he is now sitting on the aisle seat in the MIDDLE section of seats. [It is not impossible to switch seats in an airplane. Maybe Sayid was unhappy with his seat and asked a stewardess if it was possible to switch, or maybe he gave up his seat to someone who asked him (if they were travelling with a companion and were seated apart form each other, for instance).]

Corrected by Twotall Time

The Greater Good (a.k.a. Sides) (series 1)

Sayid is in Sydney, yet when he jumps out of the white van in the warehouse the numberplate on the van is a white Hawaiian one, not a yellow and black New South Wales one. [Why does the van have to be from Australia. It is possible it had been brought over from Hawaii.]

Time

Do No Harm (series 1)

Kate catches Claire's baby as he is being born and hands him straight to Claire, all gooey and 'newborn', but the baby has no umbilical cord. There was no time for Kate to tie off and cut the cord, nor a time-lapse or scene-change that would have allowed this to happen. [I have watched this twice and both times and there is a umbilical cord.]

Corrected by Bowling255 Time

...In Translation (series 1)

When Jin goes to the guy's house to deliver the "message", the man's daughter is watching TV. The man on TV is Hurley. (Explained why in the next episode, "Numbers".) [This isn't trivia. it's a plot point.]

Corrected by Ingabritzen Time

Outlaws (series 1)

In Sawyer's flashback sequence he goes to kill a man in Australia who works in a caravan called "Sweet Shrimp". When in fact the shrimp the man used are called Prawns in Australia. Shrimp is an American term for the food. [The man that Sawyer killed was an American. He most likely named his business Sweet Shrimp instead of Prawns in keeping with his American roots.]
