Factual error: The police officer introduces himself to Claire as "Officer" Barnes. In Australia, ordinary police officers hold the rank of Constable, not Officer.
Factual error: The neurosurgeon introduces himself as "Doctor" Woodruff and also has this written on his coat. In Australia, where this scene is set, surgeons are always addressed and referred to as "Mister" after the British fashion.
The Man From Tallahassee - S3-E13
Continuity mistake: In episode 3-13: When Jack is asking for his friends to be released, Ben says ok and Jack walks off. The camera cuts to the women, then back to Ben, and Jack is by him again having walked off a few seconds earlier.
Left Behind - S3-E15
Character mistake: Kate's car is shown being towed, because, according to the tow-truck driver, "your fan belt is shot" The car in the scene is a 1988 to 1994 Buick Regal 2dr, which came with 2 engine options, a 3.1L and a 3.8l v6, both transversal engines. So, there could not be a "fan belt" on that car, as the pair of radiator fans on it were electrical. In any case, "your drive belt is shot" would have been the correct term to use, to describe the specific belt failure on that car. (00:02:19)
Continuity mistake: Episode 3-16, "One of Us". When Juliette and Ben are talking towards the end, Ben is first seen with his hands folded (fingers interlocking) in front of him. Just after Juliette says "I'll admit to it, tell her it was the only way to gain her trust", Ben's hands are in the same position, but are not folded, his right hand is just lying on top of his left. Cut to a close-up of Ben, and his hands are once again folded.
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.
The Man Behind the Curtain - S3-E20
Continuity mistake: When Ben and his father climbs up the hill in the camper, there are obvious dents on the front-right and rear-right of the camper. But the camper looks brand-new when they stop on top of the hill. (00:35:50)
Factual error: In the first flashback, when Charlie first hears himself on the radio, there is a close-up of the UK number-plate on the front of the van. It is the wrong colour: this is a yellow plate. As it is on the front of the van, it should be white. Only rear plates in the UK are yellow. This false plate was made up in mirror-image by the production company, as the actual van used was Left-Hand Drive. The whole scene, apart from the shot of the radio, was filmed and then flipped for the final cut, to make the van appear to be Right-Hand Drive as you'd find in the UK. Hence the moles on the right of Charlie's neck are on his left in this scene.
Through The Looking Glass (1) - S3-E22
Continuity mistake: When the entire camp is heading up to the radio tower they head up the beach with the water on their right side. After the title screen shows they are walking with the water on their left side. They are going in the opposite direction as before. (00:09:10)
Through The Looking Glass (2) - S3-E23
Factual error: When Charlie is in the small communications room of the underwater base, after the grenade blows out the window and the water is rushing in. The water would only come up to the top of the window, anything above that would be an air pocket and water would not go any higher, yet it got completely filled over Charlie's head. (00:30:00)
Through The Looking Glass (2) - S3-E23
Continuity mistake: In episode "Through the Looking Glass" When Jack walks into the funeral parlor he looks at the coffin, the small part of the lid is to Jack's left, when they show you the coffin from the top the small part of the lid is to his right.
Through The Looking Glass (2) - S3-E23
Continuity mistake: When Charlie is about to die, the text written on his hand keeps changing from light to bold and back to light between shots.
Continuity mistake: Ep. 4-12 "There's no place like home". In the first flashforward, the Oceanic representative talks to the survivors about meeting the press. As she finishes by saying, "See you on the ground", you can see baby Aaron on Kate's lap, and she is holding his left hand in hers down by his side. Cut to a close-up of Kate, and Aaron suddenly has both hands free and is holding them up to his mouth. (00:02:25)
Continuity mistake: Episode 4x11: The man who visit young Locke at his home places a knife on top of a comic book. The position of both objects keeps changing all the time without anyone touching them.
The Beginning of the End - S4-E1
Continuity mistake: Season 4 - The Beginning of the End - Hurley is swimming in the ocean. He sees Desmond return with the boat, and by the time he gets out of the ocean and walks over to Desmond and yells, "Where's Charlie?" his shirt is dry with sweat stains on it.
Continuity mistake: Towards the end of the episode, when Locke is preparing to shoot Ben, Ben starts talking about Charlotte and her team. Locke is then holding his gun in his right hand, and holding Ben with his left. As Ben is saying "Because I know what they're doing here", there is an angle change, and Locke is suddenly holding his gun with both hands.
Revealing mistake: 4-3: When Sayid closes the woman's eyes in the hotel room, it is clear he doesn't touch her.
Continuity mistake: 4-3: When Sayid is in bed with the woman, his position changes depending on the angle.
Continuity mistake: 4-3: When Sayid has shot the man on the golf course, he lowers his arm twice.
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.
