What I Learned from the Season 4 DVD, Part 2

Continuing the series I began last week, here are a few more tidbits I’ve picked up so far from viewing the extra features on the Season 4 DVD set:

• The 20-minute “Conspiracy of Lies” fake documentary reveals that Boone, Libby, and Charlie were the three survivors the Oceanic Six claimed died on the island, in their lie about the crash. I think this may have been mentioned somewhere before by the producers or someone connected to the show, but I can’t recall ever seeing official confirmation of it until now.
• The season finale, the three-part “There’s No Place Like Home,” began filming before the script was complete. During the filming of the scene of the Oceanic Six boarding the helicopter for the final time on the freighter (just before the freighter blows) actor Jorge Garcia says that at that point, he did not yet know how Hurley got to the freighter and escaped from the island.
• The writers used a series of maps and charts to determine and keep track of where all of the Oceanic Six were at different parts of the season, and how they would all end up escaping from the island together at the end.
• Though he speaks with a natural accent that uses the same cadences that he uses in the show, Henry Ian Cusick‘s real voice is surprisingly different-sounding than Desmond’s. It’s a bit higher and less throaty. And most fans probably already know this, but Naveen Andrews sounds very different than Sayid (he’s also British, not Middle Eastern).
