Lost Video Island

OK so I watched all 4 seasons over again, and I've noticed some weird stuff.

1) In Outlaws Sawyer has the flashback of when his mother and father are killed. I always watch LOST in subtitles, dunno why. Any way, on the subtitles say Sawyer's mothers name is Brooke, but in The Brig when Sawyer finally meets Anthony Cooper he says his mother's name was Mary...what's up with that? Might be just a production error, but it sure bugs me.

2) In The Shapes Of Things Too Come when Keamy makes Alex turn off the sonic fence thingy she says ::

not sure this is really "Spoilers" but it's a great topic

I've never noticed that thing about Sawyer's mum

Perhaps just one of those things they forget. Or it's possible that the person who did the subtitles thought the name was 'Brooke" when someone said "cook" or something. I've noticed that A LOT in shows like CSI

Alex could have been pregnant I guess, i never thought of it...that would've been a cool storyline, Ben wanting to save his daughter from the Island and all

There's one that I've always wondered about, its from Raised By Another in Claire's flashback when she finds out she's pregnant and thomas says they should raise the baby. Claire says:

Claire: My mum would disown me.
Thomas: She basically has already.

At that stage in the show, Claire's mother's still in a coma, she has been since Claire was a teenager. So either Thomas is being kind of callous to her or it's a continuity error

EDIT:

I'm gonna move this to the regular Show Talk thread since there's no spoiler talk of season 5 here

Okay I thought this section was where we didn't have to put spoiler tags anywhere, I didn't know it was just for season 5 ^^;

yeah, but you need something to spoiler

and since seasons 1-4 have all been released everywhere, they're not spoilerable and dont need to be in that thread, if you know what I mean

Anything about season 5 and onwards, which hasn't been released yet and people *me inlcluded* dont wanna read up on it, goes in the Spoilers thread tag free

yeah, that one gets me too nikki

"I thought I was pregnant" would be a better line; definitely more accurate :S and then something like "Can you imagine? Me, a baby!" wouldnt have affected the scene and she gets her point across

Okay, this one eerks me to no end:

In Season 1 "White Rabbit" Charlie wakes up Jack to go after the girl who is drowning in the ocean yelling after him "I can't swim! I can't swim!"
If he can't swim, then why in "Greatest Hits" do we see a flashback of Charlie learning how to swim? Why does he all of a sudden become the "junior swim champion in Northern England?"

The only solution I can think of is that he lied in "White Rabbit" to hide the fact that he was high off of Heroin and couldn't save the girl from drowning.

I've noticed some of these things too. I reckon they're just errors. But I have a few out there explanations =p

About the Claire/Thomas thing. All I can think of is that Claire didn't tell Thomas that her mum was in a coma. Perhaps she was covering it up for some reason? So she says "my mum will disown me" and Thomas says "she basically has already" because to him, Claire's mum already appears to have disowned her ie not calling/seeing her when REALLY she's in a coma. Wow, I don't think I explained that well at all.

The Charlie swimming thing....Well, he in fact said "I don't swim" which could perhaps change the meaning? He CAN swim, he just doesn't like to? I have to say, the heroin thing sounds more likely though.

I always wanted to know why everyone is called some form of Thomas....Claire's boyfriend Thomas, Charlie's druggie friend Tommy, wasn't it Kate's childhood sweetheart that was called Tom? And the fake name Christian gives Ana was Tom, wasn't it?

ooh, yeah, jemmz ;P i noticed a lot of Tom's ;P Claire's tom, charlie's tommy, Kate's friend Tom, beardy Tom, and Christians alias Tom

ive always wondered if there's something more to that

or maybe its just an inside joke with the writers, maybe a few of them have sons named Tom or something
