Line 97:
** 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 seasonSeason 1, helping to set it up, write and direct the pilot, and contributing to only a very few episodes since (the last being in S3Season 3).
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: Jacob may be immortal, wise and extremely powerful but he is ''[[The Big Lebowski|obviously not a golfer]]''.
* [[Name's the Same]]: The show's [[Theme Naming]]:
** John Locke .
** (Desmond) David Hume.
** (Danielle) Rousseau .
** (Daniel) Faraday.
** Edmund Burke.
** Mikhail Bakunin.
** Jeremy Bentham.
** Anthony Cooper.
** (Boone) Carlyle.
** Richard Alpert.
** (Eloise) Hawking.
** C(harlotte) Staples Lewis.
** Dogen.
* [[Playing Against Type]]: Yunjin Kim (Sun), who gained fame in Korea playing [[Action Girl|Action Girls]]. Of course, Sun's character later began to show some of those traits in later seasons.
* [[Star-Making Role]]: Unusually, for composer [[Michael Giacchino]] more than for any of the people in front of the camera.
Line 131:
** Forest Whitaker was originally cast in the role of Sawyer, but opted out of the role to direct ''First Daughter''.
** Dominic Monaghan originally auditioned for the role of Sawyer, who was originally supposed to be a suit-wearing city con man. The producers were so enthused by Monaghan that the part of Charlie was altered to accommodate him - Charlie was originally going to be a 45-year-old washed-up rock star.
** Originally, Kate was supposed to have been a thirty something businesswoman whose husband had died in the crash. When Jack died in the original script Kate would have become the leader of the group.
** Originally, Ilana was set to be Jacob's daughter, but the writers ran out of time to explain this plot, so they decided to kill her and focus on the big season plot.
** In original drafts for the show, Rousseau's team of scientists were studying time. The network told the writers not to include it in the show, in case the viewers would think it too science fiction and stop watching.
* [[Word of God]]: Now that the series is over, most of the burning questions fans have had will have to be/have been addressed in this way, if at all. Namely:
** The original plan for Ilana's character (which may or may not count as canon) was that she would turn out to be {{spoiler|Jacob's daughter.}}.
