Goof: When Charlie goes swims down to the Looking Glass station, he has the weights in his right hand. If you look closely, there is a brief shot of his right hand, but it is empty. In the next shot, the weights are there again. edit »
In "White Rabbit", Charlie mentions that he can't swim (when one of the survivors gets pulled out into the ocean), yet he has a flashback in this episode of learning to swim.

[It is possible he was lying, feeling his Heroin use might've impaired his swimming ability, and put him and the person drowning in more jeopardy, or he may have not wished to risk his life to save another.] edit »
The initials on the ring that Liam gives Charlie, DS, stand for "Dexter Stratton", the name of their great-grandfather on their mother's side. edit »
Charlie used a Shubb guitar capotasto on the second fret. The actual song by Oasis makes use of the same resource.

When Charlie writes his #5 and #4 Greatest Hits he ends both sentences with a dot. However, when he writes his #3, the other two sentences are now dotless. edit »

Hurley: So, what are we gonna do?
Sun: We have to leave now. Hide.
Bernard: Where? It's their island. If they want to kill us, they'll find us. edit »
Jack: Look, for ninety days I've been asked to make decisions for this entire camp. There you go, I just made one. edit »
Charlie: We're gonna be okay, you know.
Claire: Are we?
Charlie: We're alive on a beautiful island! We'll sleep under the stars and, before you know it, the helicopters will come and take us home.
Claire: You really think they'll find us?
Charlie: Well, yeah, why wouldn't they?
Claire: Thanks.
Charlie: I'm Charlie.
Claire: I'm Claire. Nice to meet you, Charlie. edit »
Hurley: I heard, I heard what you're doing. I wanna come with. Everyone, they're all going to the radio tower and, I'm sick of trekking and, you know, explosions. I think I can help you guys out. I'm a really good paddler.
Charlie: You can't go, Hurley.
Hurley: Why not?
Charlie: Because (pause), you're too big! You won't fit in the boat.
Hurley: That's uncool, man. edit »
Sayid: (to Jack) What are you more concerned about? Killing the Others or getting our people off this island? This afternoon you said you were our leader; it's time for you to act like one. Lead them to the radio tower Jack. And then take us all home. edit »

Charlie: Never disrespect a fellow Mancunian.

Naomi: You're from Manchester then?

Charlie: I am. The band got its start at the Night and Day Bar on Oldham Street.

The Night & Day Caf� is a real bar in downtown Manchester at 26 Oldham Street, and it does feature up and coming bands.

Both Charlie and Naomi do have local Manchester accents. edit »
Extras

Naomi: You havin' a laugh?

Naomi says this in response to Charlie's reluctance to talk about the Others.

This is the catch-phrase from Ricky Gervais's HBO comedy Extras, in which he plays the star of a critically-panned sitcom on the BBC.

As was noted in the Allusions for the season 1 episode, Homecoming, Ricky Gervais is a good friend of Lost co-creator, J.J. Abrams. edit »
Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass

The name of the "Looking Glass" Dharma station and its symbol are a reference to these two books by Lewis Caroll. edit »
#4. Dad teaches me to Swim at Butlins

Butlins is a holiday camp company that provides cheap holidays in the UK and Eire. edit »
