Man of Science, Man of Faith - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: At the start we see Desmond in the hatch. When the explosion goes off he gears up and runs over to a machine where he turns the music off. The shot of the shelf is a flipped shot. (00:02:28)
Man of Science, Man of Faith - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: When Kate climbs onto the ladder of the hatch, she has both feet on the ladder from the top angle. But when the shot changes to below her, she still has 1 foot on the edge of the hatch. (00:24:50)
Man of Science, Man of Faith - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: When Kate drops the torch in the hatch, its position keeps changing between shots of it. (00:26:20)
Continuity mistake: Just before Michael says "You're going to pull the bullet out with your bare hands?", Sawyer's hair is very wet and pulled back, as if it were in a pony tail. When the camera switches back to Sawyer saying "You got a better idea?" his hair is a lot drier and covering his face. In the next shot, it is pulled back again. (00:15:10)
Continuity mistake: When Mike and Sawyer climb onto the pontoon (after Mike shoots the shark) there is a long wooden beam protruding to the left of the pontoon. In the next shot (morning, where Mike is crying) the beam protrudes the other way. (00:35:00)
Continuity mistake: When Michael is finished talking with his ex and Walt at a park, over his right shoulder can be seen a dark-haired woman in a black halter top and green slacks walking away. The camera shifts to the opposite view where Michael is looking, and the same woman is seen leaving a newsstand in front of the ex. (00:39:00)
Orientation - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: While Jack holds the gun on Desmond, who is running away, the stains on Desmond's garb change, particularly the very large reddish stain on the right side of his chest that disappears in the wide shots.
Continuity mistake: When Hurley's mum is trying to wake him up, the position/way he's holding his ticket changes. (00:06:20)
Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, when Sun is burying the message bottle late at night, the camera shows close-ups of her hands. In the space of a few seconds, she has no ring on her left hand, then a ring, then no ring. (00:40:30)
Continuity mistake: Hurley's lottery ticket changes from when it is first shown to when it is shown later.
...And Found - S2-E5
Continuity mistake: When Jack calls Sun on the beach, there is no one near her. When the shot changes to a close-up, someone is walking past her. (00:07:40)
Continuity mistake: When Claire is holding Aaron talking to Locke, she says "I can't believe he is still sleeping" and they show him sleeping. She then asks Locke if he wants to hold him and then hands Aaron to Locke. His eyes are wide open. Then you see Locke obviously holding a doll in the next shot and they are talking about him still being asleep. Locke then hands Aaron to Charlie and the eyes are again wide open and they are still talking about him being asleep. (00:19:40)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Shannon and Sayid are next to Boone's grave, in one shot there is a necklace on the cross and in the other it disappears. (00:23:40)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Sawyer collapses from his bullet wound, he collapses onto his knees and then twists so that his good arm is towards the ground. From there, he rolls to his back. Then the camera angle changes so we're looking at Michael and Jin running towards Sawyer from the front. Sawyer is now on his good arm's side.
Continuity mistake: At the start, we see Ana-Lucia dive into the water to help rescue people. In the close-up shot, her shirt is bunched up into a small band of material around her chest. When we see her from a long shot, her shirt is back to normal. (00:01:20)
Continuity mistake: When Ana-Lucia gives mouth to mouth on the little girl, the girls left side of the face is partially covered in sand. When it cuts her face is full of sand. (00:02:00)
Continuity mistake: When Ana realises Mr Ecko gave food to Nathan, the strand of her hair covering her face changes between shots. (00:24:20)
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.
