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.

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: Episode 3-1: 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.
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 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: 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.
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: Episode 3-3: When the stick falls, John isn't wearing a backpack. But when he picks it up, he is suddenly wearing one.
Continuity mistake: When John loses his voice, he uses a pad to communicate with Charlie. He writes "I need you to stand guard" in one scene and later shows the same message to Charlie. In the second scene, although it is supposed to be the same message, guard is misspelled "gaurd."
Continuity mistake: When Sawyer is put back in his cage after being given a pacemaker, he dips the sponge in the bucket straight away. As soon as the shot begins when Sawyer is looking at Kate undress, he is holding a completely dry sponge in his hand.
Audio problem: In the scene where Mr. Eko dies, he starts saying "Psalm 23." He says the first line, but when it cuts to him backing away he's half way through (note: righteousness).
Continuity mistake: The blood on Juliette's mask changes drastically between shots. (00:08:15)
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: 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
