Notes

This tally is of major, character-centric flashbacks which take place over the space of an episode of LOST.

Does not include the events of "The Other 48 Days", as there are no distinct flashbacks.
Clip shows are disregarded, because they do not contain any new information.
Nikki & Paulo and Rose & Bernard are grouped together, to avoid repetition of information.
Flashbacks of Shannon & Boone, and Jin & Sun are not grouped together, because they are, for the most part, character-centric, unlike "S.O.S.".
The episode "Flashes Before Your Eyes" included past events in the form of a "Déjà vu" which was unlike previous flashbacks.
