Flashes Before Your Eyes - S3-E8
Continuity mistake: When Desmond is running out of the water with Claire, her strap top is down by her elbow. Camera cuts and it's back on her shoulder. (00:04:05)
Flashes Before Your Eyes - S3-E8
Visible crew/equipment: Just after returning from the pub, Des gets changed and opens his wardrobe. Behind him is a mirror that reflects part of the camera man. (00:23:30)
Flashes Before Your Eyes - S3-E8
Other mistake: In the series 3 episode "Flashes Before Your Eyes", several scenes purport to take place in England. However, the poster for the Royal Scots Guards which Desmond looks at as he passes the Army recruitment office has the American spelling for "honour".
Tricia Tanaka is Dead - S3-E10
Continuity mistake: Young Hurley (age 8-9) is shown with brown eyes, but the adult Hurley on the island has blue eyes. (00:02:00 - 00:25:00)
Tricia Tanaka is Dead - S3-E10
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Vincent is running towards Charlie and Hugo, between shots the arm he is carrying in his mouth changes positions. (00:05:10)
Tricia Tanaka is Dead - S3-E10
Continuity mistake: When Sawyer helps push the minivan, there are small holes on his tee shirt's collar and a large hole on the seam of his left sleeve. When he walks back into camp with the beer, the large hole is now on his right sleeve, and the left is intact. Neither are flipped shots. (00:22:30 - 00:37:30)
Tricia Tanaka is Dead - S3-E10
Continuity mistake: In the VW bus, Charlie says "Victory or death." He has his hand raised in one shot but not in the second angle. (00:34:10)
Tricia Tanaka is Dead - S3-E10
Revealing mistake: When the VW bus is driving down the hill, in a few shots, Charlie is missing from inside the VW. (00:34:50)
Tricia Tanaka is Dead - S3-E10
Continuity mistake: When Charlie is shaving, he cuts himself near his lip. Once he wipes the shaving cream away in the next shot, the cut disappears.
Visible crew/equipment: When John looks through the binoculars at the start, it reflects 2 big white squares which, considering they are in the jungle looking at a blue/rust coloured building, it appears to be part of the filming equipment. Perhaps a light screen? (00:06:20)
Continuity mistake: When John is playing chess, we see him make a move, followed by the computer making a move. It's now John's move, but when he makes his move, all the pieces are in different positions. The screen is in shot all the time, and we don't see him make another move explaining the moved pieces. (00:28:00)
Factual error: The police officer introduces himself to Claire as "Officer" Barnes. In Australia, ordinary police officers hold the rank of Constable, not Officer. (00:06:10)
Factual error: Australia has free universal healthcare, and it doesn't make sense for Christian to pay for Claire's mother's hospital bills. (00:25:01)
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.
