Notes
- Filmed in Hawaii, USA
- The pilot episode was the most expensive in history at $5 million. $250,000 of that was to ship the plane pieces to Hawaii.
- Not counting part 2 of the pilot, each episode begins with a close-up of someone's eye opening. Except for the pilot, each episode then focuses on that character and includes flashbacks from that character's point of view, explaining why they were on the plane and providing insight to the viewer about the character's secrets and motivations.
- Various strange and mysterious things happen during the show, and it is unclear (as of the first few episodes) whether the show is going to explain them using science fiction, mysticism or some other approach. Examples include the characters meeting a polar bear, Mr. Locke regaining the use of his legs, and the presence of some sort of huge monster that knocks down trees as it moves.
- The plane was en route from Australia to the United States and carried passengers from those countries as well as the United Kingdom, Iraq and South Korea. Before the crash, the plan ran into trouble and tried to change course for Fiji. As far as the characters can tell, they are thousands of miles off-course and, presumably, no-one knows where to look for them.
- As far as we know, there were 48 human survivors of the crash. That number has been reduced to 45 (the co-pilot was killed by a mysterious monster, the US Marshal died of complications of his wounds, and a woman drowned at the beginning of the "White Rabbit" episode). The number may go up again when Claire (who is very pregnant) gives birth.
- A dog named Vincent, belonging to the character Walt, also survived.
- All of the characters speak English except for the Korean couple, Jin and Sun. However, we learn in the episode "House of the Rising Sun" that Sun speaks English but is keeping it secret from her husband. Only Michael knows this.
- All of the survivors are adults except for Walt, Michael's young son.
- Except for the pilot, each episode covers approximately 48 hours. The first season will cover about 40 days and nights.
- The character John Locke is named for the English philosopher of that name. Appropriately, the Locke character seems to be a sort of sage figure for the others, full of deep advice and uncanny perceptions about the others' motives and secrets.
