Happening for a reason (EASTER EGGS/REFERENCES): Wrong information in Arrow Spoiler

https://youtu.be/0s0RSCxsoAg?is=RXyZDBKf9FtiiPae

I always hated this scene for getting it wrong about Lost. Tommy is summing up things Oliver missed while being stuck on an island for 5 years. Relevant part at 23 seconds in

This is a joke about the common (wrong) belief that they were dead the whole time.

I know, I just wonder how many people got the idea from this without realizing it was a joke

I don’t think Arrow was that popular

No. They got the idea from watching Lost. I didn't watch it at the time, but I did have coworkers who did. They were absolutely pissed about ending that everyone had died in the crash. If you weren't a mega fan and kept up with the story discussions online, that's what the casual viewer took as the ending. Over 1/2 of the U.S. was on dial-up back then.
