Episode Quotes

Mistakes/Goofs

• Goof (continuity error): When Hurley and Charlie are trying to catch fish with the spear, Hurley's t-shirt changes from being wet all over the front to only wet halfway up his chest.
• Goof (incorrectly regarded as a mistake): Locke speaks on the phone to a woman named Helen, whom he offers to take to his walkabout, but she can't get involved with her clients. She also mentions that they had been speaking for only a few months. Later in the series, we find that Locke was romantically attached to a woman named Helen to whom he proposed. This is an attempt by Locke to re-create his relationship with Helen, who rejected his proposal and left him.
• Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): In the flashback to Locke's lunch hour at the box company, he names Norman Croucher as having climbed Mount Everest despite being a double amputee. Croucher was a double amputee, but the mountain he climbed was Cho Oyu (still the world's sixth-tallest) and not Everest.
• Goof (continuity error): When Jack and Rose are talking on the beach, the blanket over Rose's left shoulder changes position between shots, being on in one and then off in the next

Trivia

• Right after Locke gets off the phone in his office, his boss reminds him that he needs the "TPS reports", a possible reference to Office Space further showing that Locke is a merely a simple office worker.
• This episode reiterates a lot of scenes from the pilot, featuring the mayhem immediately after the crash. These are not the original scenes but were all actually economically recreated for this episode.
• SPOILER: In this episode we learn that John Locke was actually wheelchair bound prior to the crash.
• Locke mentions that he worked as a collections supervisor for a box company. In episode 1.18, Numbers, that featured Hurley, we learn that his accountant has purchased controlling interest in a box company for Hurley's portfolio. Hurley is therefore Locke's boss.
• No real boars were involved in the making of this episode (even though it's all about hunting some down).
