Line 3:
 
* Series composer Michael Giacchino (who also composed the music for ''[[The Incredibles]]'') used parts of the plane as percussion instruments and can be heard in the score of the pilot episode.
* 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 ([[N 308 EA]]N308EA) in 1972 and was retired by Delta Airlines ([[N 783 DL]]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 [[One Hundred and Eight|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.
Line 49:
* One of the key questions with the character Walt's casting were problems that arose concerning the proposed timeline on the show. While the series moves slowly through time and only weeks have passed on the show, the actual filming has stretched over two years. When originally cast, Walt was portrayed as a 10-year-old boy but, after two seasons, he no longer looked 10. The show's writers dealt with this at the end of season two, by sending Michael and Walt [[Put On a Bus|away from the island toward supposed rescue]]. Walt reappeared in season 4, but in scenes that play three years further into the show's time line, so that he had aged appropriately by then.
* As the early drafts did not feature several of the characters who eventually appeared in the pilot, or had them appear very differently, many of the actors wound up auditioning for the parts of Kate and Sawyer. Yunjin Kim impressed the casting director but was deemed not right for the role of Kate, so Abrams and Lindelof created the character of Sun specifically for her, as well as the character of Jin to give her a foil. Dominic Monaghan and Matthew Fox both auditioned for the role of Sawyer, who was written as a slick city conman at the time: as mentioned above, the part of Charlie was rewritten to suit Monaghan, while Fox later re-auditioned for the part of Jack once it had been decided that Jack would be a series regular rather than a [[Sacrificial Lamb]]. The part of Sawyer was rewritten to its current incarnation based on the strength of Josh Holloway's audition.
* [[Actor Allusion]]: When he first meets Jacob, Richard Alpert asks if he is The Devil. Mark Pellegrino not only plays Lucifer on {{''[[Supernatural}}]]'' but also previously starred as a servant of the Devil in {{''[[Brimstone}}]]''.
* [[Fan Nickname]]:
** Head writers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse are generally referred to as "Darlton" or "Team Darlton".
Line 55:
** 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.}}
