Trivia: In series 2, episode 2, at around the 35 minute mark when the camera goes underwater to show the shark swimming past, the shark has the Dharma logo on the back end of it. (00:33:35)
Trivia: Terry O'Quinn is the only actor who didn't have to audition for the show, having previously worked with J.J. Abrams on "Alias."
Trivia: Sawyer was not originally Southern - Damon Lindelof described the original character plan as a 'slick, city con man.' It was changed specifically for Josh Holloway.
Trivia: Evangeline Lilly almost wasn't cast as Kate. As a Canadian citizen, problems arose regarding her visa and Screen Actors' Guild paperwork. She managed to get everything in order the day before the pilot began shooting.
Trivia: Jorge Garcia (Hurley) missed his sister's wedding to film the show.
Trivia: Swoozie Kurtz plays Terry O'Quinn's mother in the series, even though in real life she's only six years older than him.
Trivia: There is a short epilogue (about 12 minutes long) titled "The New Man in Charge" that never aired on TV. The epilogue focuses on events after the series finale "The End" and it may offer a few appealing revelations to loyal Lost fans.
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.
