The Greater Good (a.k.a. Sides) - S1-E21
Visible crew/equipment: After Sayid and Essam pull into the garage, when Sayid leaves through the back of the white van and closes the door, there is a lovely clear reflection of the cameraman and camera reflected on the door. (00:34:25)
The Greater Good (a.k.a. Sides) - S1-E21
Continuity mistake: Sayid wears a black tank top when he speaks at Boone's burial, and it has a wide shallow tear and small hole at the collar. When he walks away with Jack, who is complaining about Locke, though the style of top is identical, now the tear is narrower and deeper, and the hole is bigger. Throughout this episode the tear, on the tank top Sayid wears, alternates, and the hole even disappears. (00:08:50)
The Greater Good (a.k.a. Sides) - S1-E21
Continuity mistake: Jack gives Sawyer a 9mm Sig pistol to take on the raft. When Sawyer pulls it out in "Adrift", it has changed into a Beretta 92F.
The Greater Good (a.k.a. Sides) - S1-E21
Continuity mistake: In the garage, when Haddad tells Essam and Sayid to stay relaxed and focused, his collared shirt is on properly, but in the next shot, as he says, "Drive with the windows down," the shirt is off his right shoulder. This happens again when Essam takes the gun. (00:34:40)
The Greater Good (a.k.a. Sides) - S1-E21
Continuity mistake: When Haddad hands Essam the gun in the garage, in Essam's close-up the handle faces Sayid, but in the next shot, the handle faces the opposite way in his hand. (00:34:50)
The Greater Good (a.k.a. Sides) - S1-E21
Continuity mistake: Just as Sayid walks out of the building (number on both doors is 815), the white van pulls up. When Sayid gets in, in the exterior shot, the door he opens is opened to Sayid's left, but in the next interior shot, the door is opened to Sayid's right (the door to his left is closed). In this shot the building is seen behind Sayid - note the number 815 on both doors have vanished, and the chipped wall paint differs. (00:33:55)
The Greater Good (a.k.a. Sides) - S1-E21

The Greater Good (a.k.a. Sides) - S1-E21
Audio problem: When Sayid and Essam sit in the truck with explosives, Sayid says, "Her name is Nadia, they know where I can find her," and in the shot facing Essam, when he is done with that line Sayid's mouth continues to move, but nothing is heard. (00:06:35)
The Greater Good (a.k.a. Sides) - S1-E21

The Greater Good (a.k.a. Sides) - S1-E21
Continuity mistake: When Charlie walks with the crying baby on the beach, he meets Hurley and later Sawyer, and then later when Sawyer reads the "engine story" to sooth Turniphead, throughout these shots the baby's blanket constantly jumps off, on, off, etc. (00:23:40)
The Greater Good (a.k.a. Sides) - S1-E21
Continuity mistake: When Sayid is in Essam's apartment, while they are holding their glasses of tea, the positions of the glasses change between shots. For example, in one close-up the handle is under Essam's fingers, but in the next shot it's on the other side. (00:12:30)
The Greater Good (a.k.a. Sides) - S1-E21

The Greater Good (a.k.a. Sides) - S1-E21
Continuity mistake: At Essam's place, when Sayid walks toward the smoke alarm he places his tall glass mug with tea on the coffee table. When he drops the "bug" into the tea, in the close-up it is a different glass mug - note the style. (00:13:00)
The Greater Good (a.k.a. Sides) - S1-E21
Continuity mistake: When Sayid speaks to CIA Agent Melissa Cole after Essam's death, in the first shot the body laden stretcher is wheeled to the vehicle and the back door is opened. When Agent Cole says, "Plane ticket and walking around money," in the background the stretcher is gone and the door is closed. But when Sayid asks, "What happens to his body?" the stretcher reappears as the body is being put into the open back door. (00:40:40)
