MISTAKES/GOOFS

FACT: The Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS) is responsible for foreign intelligence gathering, and would never be directly involved in a domestic security operation as depicted in the episode. Domestic security is the responsibility of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO). In addition, the acronym ASIS is normally pronounced 'Ay-sis', rather than spelled out.
FACT: When Sayid goes to Essam's house, two of Essam's friends are playing the first Half-Life game for Playstation 1. One of these friends is playing single player, yet the second friend is using his controller as well. Like its name suggests, single player allows only one person to play at a time, so two people couldn't have been playing Half Life simultaneously on the same Playstation.
FAKE: Sayid questions Locke at gunpoint. When he asks about "the hatch," he raises his thumb as if to undo the safety catch, and a click is heard. As can be seen from its boxy shape and lack of hammer, the pistol is a Glock, which has no safety catch.
GEOG: Sayid and Essam are sitting in a plaza, and you can see newspaper boxes over their shoulders. Australia doesn't have newspaper boxes.
CONT: When Sayid is playing football in the park and stops to talk, his hair is messed and a mop of it folds down on his forehead. In some, but not all, subsequent shots there's nothing on his forehead.
