House of the Rising Sun - S1-E6
Continuity mistake: When Sun is asking Michael's help to free Jin, from behind, Michael's right arm is raised, but from the front, his left arm is raised, and the axe also switches hands. (00:30:10)
The Greater Good (a.k.a. Sides) - S1-E21
Continuity mistake: At the Beachcraft crash site, when Locke hands Sayid the gun, in the shot facing Locke the metal tool chest on the airplane is closed, yet, it's wide open in the next shot. (00:25:50)
Tabula Rasa - S1-E3
Audio problem: When Charlie helps Claire with her bag, Claire remarks, "So you guys hiked all the way up that mountain for nothing," and in the next shot she keeps talking, but nothing is heard. (00:16:20)
Tabula Rasa - S1-E3
Revealing mistake: When Sayid, Kate, Sawyer and the others make camp for the night, on their way back from hearing the French woman's transmission, they sit around the fire talking. Sawyer has a cut over his right eye, but in every other close-up of Sawyer the cut is over his left eye. The shots are flipped. (00:03:35)
Born to Run - S1-E22
Continuity mistake: After Kate's confession to the other survivors, she kneels down and scoops up the toy airplane with some sand. However, the next shot is a close-up of the airplane with its nose in the sand, in front of her. (00:35:35)
Exodus (2) - S1-E24
Revealing mistake: After Sawyer jumps into the water to retrieve the rudder, Michael tosses him the rope then shouts, "Tie it around the rudder and we'll pull you in." Three shots later, in Sawyer's close-ups, mountains are visible at the right of the screen, whereas in the previous and following consecutive shots they are surrounded only by water at this point in time. (00:35:15)
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)
Exodus (2) - S1-E24
Continuity mistake: On the raft, when Michael walks over to Jin with the translation notebook, as Jin tinkers with the rudder, Jin's hand and handcuff change repeatedly in the following shots. (00:47:15)
Continuity mistake: When Boone is tied up, with the goo in his hair, Locke has only his backpack slung over his left shoulder, when he holds the sheath in his left hand as he raises his right arm to throw the knife. After a brief cut to shocked Boone, Locke is in mid-throw and suddenly his second bag is slung diagonally across his chest and shoulder. (00:14:55)
House of the Rising Sun - S1-E6
Continuity mistake: As Kate and Jack head back to the beach, while Jack explains why they should move to the caves, when Kate lifts the bag and slings it round her shoulder, opposite sides of the bag face out between the first and second shots. Then, in the third shot it hangs from her shoulder very differently. (00:22:15)
Do No Harm - S1-E20
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Michael and Sawyer are eating some fish on the beach (with Jin working on the raft) a pregnant Claire has a quick conversation with them and heads into the forest. About 20 seconds later Kate runs into Michael and Sawyer, and runs into the forest at full speed. Kate later finds Claire in labour, who somehow had gotten further out than Kate, even though Kate was running at high speed in the woods. There is no way a pregnant girl could have beat Kate to that position, even considering how long it took Jin to find them from the beach.
Continuity mistake: When Michael thinks Jin has set fire to his raft, he punches him in the face a couple of times. When Jin is leaving Sun later on, his face is miraculously unmarked. There is no sign of any swelling or bruising. He doesn't look like a guy who's just been punched in the face.
All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues - S1-E11
Continuity mistake: When Ethan places his foot on Jack's chest, Jack has some leaves on his face that change position between the shots. (00:28:10)
The Greater Good (a.k.a. Sides) - S1-E21
Continuity mistake: When Jack wakes from his close encounter with Kate's sleeping pills, in the close-up his white pillow lies on the blue seat cushion, but in the next shot it lies on the grey blanket, which is spread over the cushions. (00:32:45)
Do No Harm - S1-E20
Revealing mistake: Jack's left arm is bandaged from Boone's blood transfusion. After the shot of Shannon, as she cries over Boone, Jack sits on the beach in the wideshot and the bandage is on his right arm, but in the following shots it's on his left. Yet another flipped shot. (00:41:35)
House of the Rising Sun - S1-E6
Continuity mistake: When Jin attacks Michael, the wreckage on the beach beside the wheels is seen behind Sun, as she shouts at Jin. When Jin is handcuffed the wreckage on the beach differs, there is noticeably much more in that area. (00:05:15)
All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues - S1-E11
Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Walt is talking to Sawyer about Sayid, a boom mike can be seen at the top of the screen around the time when Sawyer says, "Why am I talking to a six-year-old?" (Not visible on DVD.)

Visible crew/equipment: In the scene where Kate asks Jack if she is checking her out after he walks past her, in the top left corner you can see a black boom microphone appear in the shot for a second. (Not visible on DVD.) (00:21:30)
Tabula Rasa - S1-E3
Audio problem: When the farmer says, "You've been here for almost three months now, and every time I ask you," to Kate, it cuts, showing the farmer from behind saying "you get that look on your eyes," but his mouth isn't moving at all during the last sentence. (00:17:45)
Continuity mistake: When Locke throws the knife towards a tied up Boone, it lands at a 45º angle away from him. When Locke leaves, the knife is now upright at a perfect 90º angle. (00:15:00)
