Selected excerpts[]

LINDELOF: Now the DHARMA Initiative was on the Island back in the '70s, early '80s.
LINDELOF: Ben is told that Locke is going to be replacing him as the leader of the Island, and Ben is not happy about this.
CUSE: And their mission is not only to take out Benjamin Linus, but to take out everybody else who's on the Island.
LINDELOF: We know that Ben is a bad guy because this boat full of even worse guys--they're trying to get him. You send, like, 15 armed guys just to get this little guy.
CUSE: To extract him. Yeah.
LINDELOF: Yeah, but they're unsuccessful... He kills 'em all.

Richard Alpert and Charles Widmore are the only non-regular cast members who have their own segment during the recap. Claire receives a segment, but is not a regular cast member in Season 5 and only appears via stock footage once. The main freighter characters—Daniel, Charlotte, and Miles—do not receive segments of their own, instead just getting a brief overview.
A new or unused shot of the Coast Guard plane landing at the military base in "There's No Place Like Home, Part 1" is shown.
The scene from the Season 4 finale where Kate receives an inaudible phone call is shown with the audio reversed, so that it can be comprehended.
Doug Hutchison (one of the narrators) is the actor who portrays Horace Goodspeed on the show. He is the second Lost actor to narrate a clip show, Michael Emerson being the first.
A slip of the tongue by Carlton Cuse gave away what was then a major spoiler when he said, "Sun, believing her husband was dead," which implied that Jin was alive. This came four episodes before Jin made his return in "The Little Prince".
