Continuity mistake: 4-3: When Sayid has shot the man on the golf course, he lowers his arm twice. (00:05:40)

Continuity mistake: When Sayid finds all the passports, he opens one and the way he holds it differs between camera angles. (00:25:00)
Revealing mistake: 4-3: When Sayid closes the woman's eyes in the hotel room, it is clear he doesn't touch her.

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.
