Line 62:
'''Locke:''' Yeah?
'''Boone:''' Yeah.
'''Locke:''' Sounds like a piss-poor captain.
* [[Actor Shared Background]]:
** Doctor Pierre Chang shares the same French-first-name Chinese-last-name formula as his actor, Francois Chau.
Line 69:
* [[Cast Incest]]: Michael Emerson played Ben. His wife, Carrie Preston, guest starred as his mother. This is made slightly less icky by the fact that the two actors never actually shared a scene.
* [[Creator Backlash]]: [[Paul Dini]], who worked on the series during its early days, wrote this gem for [[The Joker]] in ''[[Batman: Arkham City]]'' as a sort of [[Take That]].
{{quote|'''The Joker''': I can hear you all now. "How did this happen?
* [[Dawson Casting]]: Averted with Tania Raymonde, who started the show at 16, the same age as her character Alex. She experienced a touch of this though four years later playing the character at the same age. Later played straight with Alex's boyfriend Karl, played by 25-year-old Blake Bashoff.
** Daniel Faraday's age is an odd subject: Assuming he was born in late 1977, that still means he was no older than 19 when Desmond visited him at Oxford ''where he was a professor''. The fact that he's a super-genius could maybe justify that, but it still means that Daniel was probably 18 when he graduated, and in his graduation scene he is played by 39-year-old Jeremy Davies.
Line 75:
* [[Executive Veto]]: Jack was supposed to die in the first episode; ABC nixed that idea and the rest is history.
* [[Fake Nationality]]:
** Naveen Andrews (British of Indian parentage) plays Sayid Jarrah (Iraqi Arab).
** Evangeline Lilly (Canadian) plays Kate Austen ([[Fake American|American]]).
** Daniel Dae Kim (Korean-American) plays Jin-Soo Kwan (Korean national).
** Mira Furlan (Yugoslavian/Croatian) plays Danielle Rousseau (French).
** Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (British of Nigerian parentage) plays Mr. Eko (Nigerian).
** Alan Dale (New Zealand) plays Charles Widmore ([[Fake Brit|British]]).
** Fionnula Flanagan (Irish) plays Eloise Hawking ([[Fake Brit|English]]).
** Andrew Divoff (Venezuelan) plays Mikhail Bakunin (Russian).
** Zuleikha Robinson (British) plays Ilana Verdansky (who is presumed to be of Russian descent).
** In the flash-sideways verse, {{spoiler|possibly Jeremy Davies (American) as Daniel Widmore (British)}} (though he still has an American accent).
* [[Fan Community Nicknames]]: "Lostaways". Or "Losties". Confusingly, both refers to the Flight 815 islanders as well.
** 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
** 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).
