Line 5:
* The airplane pieces on the beach, depicting the doomed flight from Sydney, are the remnants of a Lockheed Tristar L-1011. She began service for Eastern Airlines (N308EA) in 1972 and was retired by Delta Airlines (N783DL) in 1998 having racked up a total of 28,822 landings and 58,841 flight-hours.
* 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42 all added together equal [[108]], the total of minutes left to enter those very numbers into the computer each time, and the number of days that the castaways spent on the island before the Oceanic Six were rescued.
* Jennifer Jason Leigh was approached to play the part of Libby, but she declined.
* During the scenes where Charlie is handling and using heroin, the heroin is actually cane sugar.
* Charlie's shoulder tattoo reads "Living is easy with eyes closed". This is a lyric from the song "Strawberry Fields Forever" by The Beatles. This is Dominic Monaghan's actual tattoo and the producers decided to write it into the show instead of covering it.
Line 93 ⟶ 92:
** It's not so surprising that one nickname would refer to both the original castaways and the fans, given that for most of the first two seasons the fans also felt like they'd been wrecked on a mysterious island with absolutely no clue what was happening...
* [[Fan Nickname]]:
** Head writers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse are generally referred to as "Darlton" or "Team Darlton".
** Fenry for Ben when he was "Fake Henry," becoming "Benry"
** Losties or Lostaways for the original group
** Tailies and Boaties for those who arrived in the plane's tail and the freighter, respectively;
** [[Guyliner]] for Richard Alpert -- though he's not actually wearing any at all; [[Reality Is Unrealistic|Nestor Carbonell's eyes are naturally like that]].
** Smokey for The Monster
** {{spoiler|The Man in Black}} has a whole bunch thanks to having [[No Name Given|no name revealed]]: [[Meaningful Name|Esau]], {{spoiler|Un-Locke}}, {{spoiler|the Smoke Monster, or Smokey for short}}. {{spoiler|"The Locke-ness Monster" probably wins for creativity.}}
** And of course the Muppet Dr. Chang in Lost Untangled has his own series of nicknames for everyone, several of them possibly borrowed from the fan community
* [[God Never Said That]]: The producers never said that the show would never have time travel. They once said that the then ongoing season two had no time travel -- and it ''didn't'' -- but never that there would ''never'' be time travel. Additionally, they never stated that there was one huge clue left in the pilot -- in fact, they explicitly said there ''wasn't'', and the last one to be made significant was the single white tennis shoe Jack found. Yet this is repeated until today.
** In an example of "Word of Mistaken God," an excellent way to see if someone is making something up about a producer comment is to see if they attribute it to J.J. Abrams, who has had little involvement in the series since season 1, helping to set it up, write and direct the pilot, and contributing to only a very few episodes since (the last being in S3).
