More call sheets from various episodes.
Sometimes these call sheets can reveal BTS things that we don't know. For example, the freighter goon whose neck got snapped was named "Arroyo" during shooting, but somehow it changed to "Kokol" in the episode.
I do not own any of these call sheets or images.

I love seeing the internal terminology for things like the "Hatch - Geodome" for the computer room, or "Hatch - Living Quarters". As logicial as they may be, we never got 'official' names in the series for a lot of places, so they just have fan names in Lostpedia and the like.
Random observations:
- The Swan was "The Hatch" in season 2, but was the "Swan Hatch" on the sheets by Season 5, which matches the weird terminology in the season 6 premiere where both Kate and Sawyer independently call it the "Swan Hatch" despite never having done so before and never doing so again.
- Calling for 'matching socks' when they need consistent background extras is oddly endearing?

Yes, these call sheets indeed provided a lot of internal terminology for things, and I love to check them out as well. But sometimes, I feel like the words they use are not really that official? Like they use "Liz Mitchell" instead of Elizabeth Mitchell, or listing Hurley's dad as "Dave Reyes" instead of David Reyes.

True! I know that a lot of the terminology is for internal consistency and ease of identification for the call sheets rather than 'canon' names for things, but it's still fun to see. Thanks for posting them!

At that point in the premier though Kate and Sawyer had been living with Dharma in the 70s. I always assumed that’s why they started saying The Swan hatch.

“The Hatch” was purely the 815ers name for The Swan, and they continued calling it that all the way through season 2 (fun fact: until season 5, Eko is the only 815 survivor to ever refer to it as The Swan). Outside of a prop error referring to “The Looking Glass Hatch” on its blueprints, Dharma never referred to their stations as “Hatches”. So if anything, being around Dharma would be more likely to have their terminology rub off on our characters - and it does, they all start calling it The Swan at the end of season 5.
“The Swan Hatch” is ultimately terminology that’s convenient for the audience, which is fine. It’s “the Hatch” to most viewers, and “The Swan” to people who like the proper name of things, and combining them gets the point across quickly.
I just found it funny that this was also apparently a production name for the location.

Nice post. 😊
Are the photos from the call sheets, listed on eBay by a former actor from the series? Sometimes, the call sheets have valuable (IMO), additional information attached.

Yes, I did remember I saved some of these from background actor Chris Candella when he sold these online.
