Trivia[]

  • The boxart contains a physical easter egg: the phrase "Jacob loves you."
  • Nikki and Paulo are not on the boxart with the other main characters.
  • The episode guide included with the DVD casually mentions the flashforwards in "Through the Looking Glass", spoiling this major reveal for those who watch the episodes for the first time on DVD. The episode guide was not included in later releases of the season 3 DVD (circa 2008) and no episode guide has been included in any later Lost DVD or Blu-ray set, possibly because of this controversy.
  • This is the only region 1 DVD/Blu-ray set to split a two-hour episode ("Through the Looking Glass") into two episodes.
