'Lost' Trivia Fact 141 - Finale Filming

They filmed the end of episode 5x16, The Incident with Jack dropping the bomb and Juliet being pulled inside the hole first because Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet) wouldn't be available because she was going back to the mainland to shoot the pilot for V.

The set was already created for the hole, because they'd already used it in episode 5x13, Some Like it Hoth, but the set designers and production people hadn't known when they'd built the set that the drill was going to be pulled into the hole. They actually began filming pieces of the scene before Damon and Carlton had even finished writing it.
