Continuity mistake: When Locke and Mr. Eko watch the Orientation video in the pearl station Dr Chang has both arms and the screens behind him show people working in the swan hatch. His arm was badly damaged in the incident before the swan hatch was built and he should.have had a prosthetic arm when the pearl video was made.

Continuity mistake: When Des is being released from prison, in one shot he is holding the picture with one hand, and with two in the next shot. (00:05:20)
Live Together, Die Alone, Part 1 - S2-E23
Factual error: The prison Desmond is released from looks nothing like any British prison, let alone the British military prison (the "Glasshouse"), which is more of a training camp than a traditional prison. The guards wear no cap badges on their berets (all British service personnel wear cap badges) and their berets are worn almost vertically on their heads, whereas British berets are pulled hard to the right. The NCO who releases him is credited as a "master sergeant" in the episode credits - an American rank which has never been used in the British Army. (00:05:30)
Live Together, Die Alone, Part 1 - S2-E23
Continuity mistake: When Jack confronts Michael and grabs him by the chest, the way he holds him changes between shots. (00:37:40)
Live Together, Die Alone, Part 1 - S2-E23
Continuity mistake: When Sayid is praying, his hand positions change between long and close-up shots. (00:40:25)
Live Together, Die Alone, Part 1 - S2-E23
Continuity mistake: In Episode 2-23 Live Together, Die Alone When Mr Eko runs out of the hatch when John and Desmond are faking a lock down, you see Eko put his club in his belt right in the front of his pants. In the next scene as he passes out of the door the club is gone and then when he runs back to the door as it is closing he is holding it in his hand as he drops it and it falls under the door.
Live Together, Die Alone, Part 2 - S2-E24
Continuity mistake: When Ecko throws the belt at the wall, the position changes to when Charlie grabs it. (00:05:40)
Live Together, Die Alone, Part 2 - S2-E24
Continuity mistake: As they are walking through the jungle, Sawyer goes to pick up a doll. He reaches down and nearly touches the doll. But in the next shot Kate grabs his arm, to stop him, before he even bends over. (00:18:00)
Live Together, Die Alone, Part 2 - S2-E24
Continuity mistake: The woman from Desmond's photo is totally different the second time we see it, but Desmond and the background are exactly the same as before.
Live Together, Die Alone, Part 2 - S2-E24
Revealing mistake: After Sawyer has been shot with the syringe thing (I'm not sure if Kate had been shot yet) Jack fires his gun five or six times into the jungle. The last few times he fires it there is no flash or any indication that the gun has been fired.
Live Together, Die Alone, Part 2 - S2-E24
Continuity mistake: Right at the start of the final episode in season two, Sayid is walking with Jack and he is holding a torch in his right hand. The camera angle changes and the torch has jumped into his left hand.
Live Together, Die Alone, Part 2 - S2-E24
Continuity mistake: In '?' when Locke put his map of the stations in the chute, it was not folded. However, when Sawyer finds it in this episode, it is folded.
Live Together, Die Alone, Part 2 - S2-E24
Continuity mistake: Penny's letter to Desmond changes as he reads it. The text stays the same, but the handwriting and position of the words on the page change between the two shots where you can see the letter from the front. Also, for the audience the letter is read aloud with Penny's voice. Interesting is the fact that there is one sentence omitted: "Sorry to be so dramatic, but these are dramatic times, are they not?" (You can read this sentence in both "versions" of the letter though).
Continuity mistake: When Jack wakes up and hits the communicate button on the wall, his hand is below the box. When the shot changes, his hand is now to the side of the box. (00:06:00)
Continuity mistake: At the meeting, Jack's dad puts his hand on Jack's shoulder. When the shot changes, his hand has been removed. (00:27:40)
Revealing mistake: Season 3, episode 1, "A Tale of Two Cities.": In the scene where Ben/Henry is presenting a breakfast table to Kate, he mentions coffee which we can see is in a French press. Ben/Henry "finishes" the coffee by pushing down on the plunger of the french press, but uses only one finger with barely any pressure. In reality, a french press takes a significant amount of pressure to get the plunger from top to bottom, more than could be generated by just one finger. Additionally, we can see that the mesh-screen component of the French press stays at the top, rather than plunging down, which it should in order to filter out the grounds.
Continuity mistake: When Sayid is talking about moving the boat, Sun's hair is blowing in the wind in one shot but nice and neat in the next. (00:03:00)
Continuity mistake: When Sawyer dumps out the water canteen Juliet tosses him, his hand moves from the top of the base to the bottom, and the angle at which he pours the contents out changes, as well. (00:24:15)
Continuity mistake: When Jin gets out of the car and goes into the hotel, there is a sign that says it's the second floor. However when it cuts to him hitting the man in the face, it's now the 15th floor. (00:26:20)
Continuity mistake: Season 3, episode 2, "The Glass Ballerina". When Jin is in the hotel and is about to kill Jae Lee, he holds a pillow to Lee's head and presses his gun against it. At first, the gun is pointing to Lee's cheekbone, but when it cuts to Lee as he is sobbing "I'm sorry. I'm sorry", the gun is much lower, and pointing to his throat. Cut back to Jin, and you can see the gun is once again pointing to Lee's face. There was no time for Jin to move it between shots, and Lee did not move nearly enough to cause this changes. (00:26:50)
Chosen answer: None of the main characters died in the plane crash. Many died on the island after the crash (Jack, Charlie, Sun, Jin, Daniel, Juliet, others), some lived on the island for an apparently long time after the crash (Hurley, Ben, Bernard, Rose) but some lived lives off the island after the crash (Sawyer, Kate, Claire, Miles, Aplert, and Lapidus). Remember that Christian tells Jack that "time has no meaning here," (in Purgatory). When everyone meets at the church, they are at the end of their lives however long that may have been and will now "move on" together. They look like they did on the island because that is the way they best remember each other.

That has to be the clearest explanation of the ending I've ever read.
