Inevitably, there are going to be screw-ups in continuity, and here's the latest example: Charlotte's age. In one episode, Ben listed-off all of Charlotte's personal information including her birthdate: July 2, 1979, meaning she'd be 28 in Lost time. However, in a more recent episode, we see a young Charlotte running around in 1974, tricky!
Horrendously, the executive producers blamed the screw-up on the actress who plays Charlotte, saying that she didn't want to market herself as a 37-year-old, and in the confusion of meeting her demands, the scrip continuity got messed-up.
The actress Rebecca Madar fired back on Facebook that this was untrue and she was being blamed for a writing mistake. The producers eventually came clean that this was all just a boo-boo and it had been wrong of them to make Madar a scape-goat.
So the conclusion is, despite what Ben said, Charlotte was actually probably born on the Island in the year 1971. They could probably let this issue go un-addressed in the show, but it'll be interesting to see if they come up with some excuse in a future episode.
In another potential screw-up, the fans are all aflutter that there might have been an Easter Egg in the last episode, Namaste, for those who watched Lost on an HD television. Was there a ghost in Jacob's cabin... or was it just a production staff member caught in a shot? Take a look for yourself... It doesn't look like Claire to me, and it also looks like a graphic-tee, which doesn't seem fitting. I'm going to say this was another boo-boo.
