So you guys had stuff in the UK episodes that we didn't have in the US episodes? (Did you actually see the plane explode in the pilot?)
Only teeny tiny bits. Were it significant I would have been less of a procrastinator and actually remembered to get my boxset exchanged.
If I remember correctly there are only a few small differences, and I think they were only in later episodes... I think there were some additional "Jack talks to loved ones on cellphone" scenes, and a few other bits and pieces, but it was all small stuff I think, in just a few episodes. Certainly nothing that seems 'missing' when having watched the DVD episodes consecutively.
I only even remember the whole US/UK thing because of the fuss that was made at the time with adverts in DVD magaizines etc. about how consumers could exchange their 'faulty' sets before a certain date.
As for the plane, I'm not sure... I can't honestly remember it not exploding... memory is hazy and I've long taped over the aired UK episodes...because I have my DVDs. Which are... ah... incorrectly issued US versions. Bugger.
