White Rabbit - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Charlie and Hurley are talking to Jack about the water, Jack then shouts something like, "I'm not making any decision," and in the background two people walk by - they move from right to left. After a cut to Charlie and Hurley when Hurley asks "Why?" it cuts back to Jack, and the same two people walk from right to left again. (00:10:30)

Continuity mistake: When Jack, Hurley and Charlie discuss water situation, the suitcase filled with water bottles repeatedly changes. One example: when Charlie carries the stuffed suitcase, then sets it down, it is open just a couple of inches, but when Jack walks away the suitcase is bursting with bottles, and is open at least 18-20 inches.

Continuity mistake: When Jack hangs off the cliff, he grips a vine covered in a multitude of leaves in the wideshots, but in the three tight close-ups his hand is dramatically shown slipping down a vine, without any leaves on or around it.

Continuity mistake: When Jack sees the casket, things lying on it change between shots. When he flips it open the ripped interior lining differs in the following shots, depending on camera angle. Then, as Jack destroys the coffin, the broken wood differs greatly between shots. Such as when the shot faces the coffin the entire top is destroyed, but when facing Jack the side frame remains intact. (00:36:35)

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)
