Exodus (2) - S1-E24

Visible crew/equipment: As the "rescue" boat nears the raft with Jin, Sawyer, Michael and Walt, it has a spotlight shining on the four aboard the raft. That spotlight is the only light source in the area, yet the boat is bathed in bright light from behind, which also reflects in the boat's pole. (01:12:00)

Exodus (2) - S1-E24

Revealing mistake: After Charlie receives a large gash on his forehead, from Danielle's trap, Sayid tries to seal it. When Sayid pours gunpowder in the cut, he leaves a large thick trail beside Charlie's eye and on his cheek, which he does not wipe away. There is a tight close-up of Sayid igniting the gunpowder with the flame. The gunpowder beside his eye and on his cheek should have seared his skin, but it does not. The only severe wound Charlie has later is the closed charred wound on his forehead, and though he does wipe his face back at the cave, the skin on his cheek and beside his eye are fine. (00:51:25)

Exodus (2) - S1-E24

Continuity mistake: In the first shot of Locke sitting in the wheelchair, in the airport lounge, he sits alone directly in front of the long rows of chairs. However, in the next overhead shot, the airline steward is at Locke's side as he sits near the large windows, nowhere near the chairs. (01:03:15)

Exodus (2) - S1-E24

Continuity mistake: In the Oceanic Int'l departure lounge, Locke sits in his wheelchair near the large window, with the doomed plane in the distance. The attendant's desk is on the left, but the black lounge chairs, which are normally situated toward the center of the lounge, are gone in this shot; the chairs at the end of each row should be visible at this angle. These chairs are also seen when Hurley crashes the scooter into them. (01:03:15)

Tabula Rasa - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When Kate is in the closet, she removes a jar from the shelf. There is at least one jar left, on the left side of the jar she picked up. When it cuts the jar on the left is suddenly gone. (00:17:00)

Confidence Man - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: Just after Sayid has woken Sawyer up by throwing water in his face, there is a shot of Sayid from behind the tree Sawyer is tied to, and you can see a bit of Sawyer's hair. However, it is hardly wet, if at all, and when the camera cuts back to Sawyer his hair is drenched again. (00:22:20)

Exodus (1) - S1-E23

Continuity mistake: When the group stops to rest on their way to the Black Rock, as Locke speaks to Danielle, he holds the right or left backpack straps with either his right or left hand, depending on camera angle. (00:25:45)

Super Grover

Exodus (2) - S1-E24

Continuity mistake: At the airport, after Sun spills coffee on Jin, as he heads to the lavatory the large stain on his dress shirt is at the same height as the shirt pocket, yet, in the next shot the stain is much lower, below his stomach. (00:12:25)

Outlaws - S1-E16

Visible crew/equipment: When Sawyer finds his blue tarp that the boar ran off with earlier, Sawyer hears the whispers, then the boar reappears and chases him. When the mean old boar flips Sawyer over, the chain link fence (used for the stunt) is clearly visible beyond the grass, at the top right corner of the screen. (Also seen on Disc 7.) (00:12:10)

Super Grover

Exodus (2) - S1-E24

Continuity mistake: When Michael sits with Walt at the airport, Michael says, "If you're worried about Vincent," and the newspaper in his hands is folded and held straight up with the blue Oceanic envelope. Yet, when he says, "Dogs fly in the luggage compartment all the time," the newspaper is sideways and there is no blue envelope. (00:30:55)

Super Grover

Outlaws - S1-E16

Visible crew/equipment: When Sawyer is tracking the boar, the camera is moving behind Sawyer, and you are able to see the camera's shadow move on the leaves. This happens in the shot before Sawyer gets on his knee checking out the boar tracks. (00:15:25)

Confidence Man - S1-E8

Continuity mistake: At the start of the episode, Sawyer tells Jess he has $140,000. Later, when Sawyer is talking to his boss in the bar while playing pool, his boss says that he had $160,000.

Suggested correction: And Sawyer is a conman who tells people what they want to hear. Saying he's got an extra 20k is no big deal to someone like Sawyer who is conning people out of 150k+.

House of the Rising Sun - S1-E6

[While fleeing from an angry swarm, Kate takes her shirt off as insects are trapped in it. Charlie later finds her and hands her the shirt she dropped with a questioning look.]
Kate: It was full of bees.
Charlie: [Looking at her chest.] I'd say more like C's.
