MISTAKES/GOOFS

FACT: When Elsa talks in German to her employer in the flash forward scene, the subtitles say 'He had no idea' but what she actually says at that moment translates into 'He won't give up the name now'. Earlier in that scene, the subtitles say 'He won't give up the name now' but the actual words translate into 'He won't say anything'.

TRIVIA

This is the first episode where we see a bird’s eye view of the island.
Elsa tells Sayid to meet her at the restaurant for their first date at 8 o'clock. 8 is one of the fabled island "numbers."
