White Rabbit - S1-E5

Tabula Rasa - S1-E3
Visible crew/equipment: When Michael is searching for Vincent, he stops in the jungle and the camera pans round him. In one shot, you can make out a light screen and camera. Slo-mo helps but is not essential. (00:24:10)
Tabula Rasa - S1-E3
Continuity mistake: In the "previously, on Lost" segment, we see Locke talking to Walt and he has a cut over his right eye that is straight. We we see Locke as Siyaid is explaining about gathering electronic equipment, There is now a curve to his cut. (00:00:25 - 00:09:15)
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.

All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues - S1-E11
Continuity mistake: When Walt rolls the dice, they land in a completely different position than in their following closeup. (00:24:15)
Continuity mistake: When Claire puts up the drapes, one is caught on a plant. When Thomas walks over to the drapes, it's not caught anymore. Neither Thomas nor Claire have been near the drapes during this time. (00:16:50)
Continuity mistake: When Claire finds out she is pregnant, her hair is either messy or neat depending on the camera angle. This is most noticeable when Thomas says it could be the best thing ever. (00:07:35)
Continuity mistake: When Jack and Claire open the music box, from the back angles their heads are almost touching each other, but from the front angles it's noticeable that both guys are sitting wider apart.
Continuity mistake: After the submarine sinks, Jack is in the beach hugging Kate and a strand of wet hair is on his forehead. When the angle changes the hairstyle has changed and his forehead appears clear.
Continuity mistake: When the Smoke smashes the armed guard against the cage he lies unconscious with his left arm stretched out. A frame later, from another angle, the arm rests by his side.
Continuity mistake: When Robert and Danielle banter about what the name of their baby will be, Robert has Danielle's face cupped in one hand, and then suddenly in both hands. (00:06:10)
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.
Guy
That has to be the clearest explanation of the ending I've ever read.
