Continuity mistake: When Sayid opens the lid of the compass to show Jack, in the close-up, all of Sayid's fingernails are short and trimmed, yet, in previous and following shots (including next episode "Special") some of his fingernails (such as the thumbs) are very long again. This occurs in many other episodes, such as "Exodus 2". (00:24:40)
Continuity mistake: Season 6 Episode 3 "What Kate Does". When Sawyer is about to leave the temple he is holding a SIG pistol. When he opens the door and raises the gun again it has changed into a Glock.
Continuity mistake: 6-01-02 - LAX: Before Hurley grabs a gun, while Sayid is lying down, his head position keeps swapping from straight in the close-ups to tilted to the right in the wide angle.
Continuity mistake: Season 5, episode 8 'LaFleur': When the two Dharma members wake up LaFleur, Sawyer wears a white t-shirt, but when he takes his Dharma overalls his t-shirt turns green.
Continuity mistake: Episode 3-17: Juliet is shown crawling out of the sub. You see a side street where she is crawling over an uneven area to a dock about four feet away from her. When the shot pulls back, the dock is nowhere near her - she was crawling on a different dock.
Continuity mistake: Throughout the show the grime and dirt on people keeps disappearing and reappearing instantly.
Continuity mistake: In season 2, episode 5, Jin and Mr. Eko are searching for Michael. Jin gets attacked by a boar and rolls down a hill to find the corpse of Goodwin. In this scene they are in the middle of the jungle. Now two episodes later, when Ana-Lucia confronts Goodwin they are on top of a mountain without trees surrounding them. This is confirmed in Juliet's flashbacks in later seasons when Ben takes her to see Goodwin's body.
Continuity mistake: After picking up Eddy the hitchhiker, John and his passenger can be seen driving through a compound. As they drive through the compound, a passenger can be seen in John's pick-up truck. The scene just before they arrive at the sweat lodge, there is no passenger. Once they arrive at the sweat lodge, a passenger exits the pick-up truck. (00:16:25)
Continuity mistake: Lost 6-01-02 - LAX: When Sawyer rescues Juliet, her hand moves next to her face. Half a second later it's away.
The End (2) - S6-E18
Continuity mistake: As Locke stabs Jack's neck in their final battle, the wound is visible, above the neck line of his shirt. Once the rain stops and Jack speaks of his plan and kisses Kate, the wound is missing for the entire scene. The wound reappears on his neck during Jack's scene with Hurley and Ben at the cave opening. During the final sequence as Jack lies down and closes his eyes, the wound is visible in most shots, but in the final two wide shots, the dry blood make-up appears to be coming off and once again there is no neck wound.
Continuity mistake: At the end, when we see Ben lighting a candle with a matchstick in the cathedral during the entering of Eloise, he puts out the matchstick so we see that the flame is gone. In the next shot, the flame is back and Ben is doing exactly the same thing, but we see it from another view.
Continuity mistake: Ses. 5, ep. 5, "This Place is Death". When Daniel is telling Charlotte that he has a plan, and explains, "When we were back at the hatch, I talked to Desmond", he places his left hand on top of his right, holding Charlotte's hand between them (seen at bottom of the screen). When the angle changes to a shot above his shoulder, his left hand is suddenly back under Charlotte's head, with no time to move between shots. (00:32:50)
Continuity mistake: In the very beginning of the pilot episode, Jack runs out of the jungle. He looks around and hears distant screams. While he is looking around, you can see through the bushes that there is nothing but beach on the other side. But when he turns around, the entire beach just on the other side of that bush is filled with wreckage. The wreckage would have been visible from the other side of the bush had it been there.
Continuity mistake: 6-01-02 - LAX: When Sayid is drownd and laid on a carpet, his head swaps from being by the edge of it almost out, to several inches inside the carpet.
Continuity mistake: "The Variable": When Faraday is on about the variables, he has his jotter in his hands. Camera does a quick cut and it's now on the floor.
Continuity mistake: When Miles and Hurley deliver The Package, the way it's held is constantly changing.
Continuity mistake: The blood on Juliette's mask changes drastically between shots. (00:08:15)
Continuity mistake: At the very start, when Ecko and Yemi break into the shed, the hand holding the packet of biscuits on Yemi changes between shots. (00:01:30)
Continuity mistake: When Sawyer is in prison, he gets a visitor who takes something out of her bag. As she does so, Sawyer has his arms crossed in one shot and outstretched in the next. (00:19:20)
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.
