Visible crew/equipment: In the end of this episode when Kate and Sawyer have just left the hatch they see a black horse. In the first shot with the horse, on the far right of the screen you can see the trainer's hand with a black glove. HD widescreen only.
Live Together, Die Alone, Part 2 - S2-E24
Continuity mistake: The woman from Desmond's photo is totally different the second time we see it, but Desmond and the background are exactly the same as before.
Continuity mistake: Hurley's lottery ticket changes from when it is first shown to when it is shown later.
Man of Science, Man of Faith - S2-E1
Trivia: During the opening scene, when the camera cuts to the cabinet of drugs (shortly before the explosion heard in the distance), all the bottles of drugs have 'the numbers' on them - '4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42'. Maybe obvious to some but worth looking out for. (00:02:20)
Continuity mistake: In the film, the hair on Marvin Candle changes from the original film to the one that Mr. Eko found. It is much shorter on the recovered clip.
Continuity mistake: In this episode Jack works on an old crippled man to try and perform another "miracle." Remember, this is supposed to be in Jack's past. When he's looking at the x-rays in the beginning, take a look at the dates on them. They're November 16, 2005. In the last episode of season 2, Desmond says that the plane crashed in September 2004.
Continuity mistake: When Jack and Ana-Lucia are talking on the rocks by the beach at the end of the episode, Ana-Lucia's hair is pulled back and is completely off her face. However, in two of her close-ups, there are two small forelocks loose in the wind near her temples, which are not present in any other shots during this scene. (00:40:40)
Continuity mistake: When Ana-Lucia gives mouth to mouth on the little girl, the girls left side of the face is partially covered in sand. When it cuts her face is full of sand. (00:02:00)
One of Them - S2-E14
Revealing mistake: When Sayid and Locke are talking to Henry Gale in the hatch, just as Jack comes in and finds them, the front part of the arrow supposedly piercing Gale's shoulder is at a different angle to the back part. This is visible in a number of shots.
Continuity mistake: Charlie takes a step and breaks the virgin statue. Half a second later it's broken in a totally different way. (00:23:10)
Continuity mistake: When the doctor takes the polaroid picture of Hurley and Dave, there are others patients behind them, right in front a window. But at a further scene, when Hurley sees the photo 'without Dave', these other patients are missing too.
Collision (a.k.a.Old Habits) - S2-E8
Continuity mistake: When Sayid is carrying Shannon's body back to camp, the back of her shirt is almost without blood. Two minutes before, when Sayid picked Shannon up from the ground, her shirt was blood covered.
Continuity mistake: Just before Michael says "You're going to pull the bullet out with your bare hands?", Sawyer's hair is very wet and pulled back, as if it were in a pony tail. When the camera switches back to Sawyer saying "You got a better idea?" his hair is a lot drier and covering his face. In the next shot, it is pulled back again. (00:15:10)
Continuity mistake: When Jack and Kate are discussing who should stay with Sawyer and who should go to Shannon's funeral, as the camera goes back and forth between the two the towel on Sawyer's forehead is there, then not, then back again through the whole scene. (00:07:30)
Man of Science, Man of Faith - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: At the start we see Desmond in the hatch. When the explosion goes off he gears up and runs over to a machine where he turns the music off. The shot of the shelf is a flipped shot. (00:02:28)
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Shannon and Sayid are next to Boone's grave, in one shot there is a necklace on the cross and in the other it disappears. (00:23:40)
Continuity mistake: When Michael is finished talking with his ex and Walt at a park, over his right shoulder can be seen a dark-haired woman in a black halter top and green slacks walking away. The camera shifts to the opposite view where Michael is looking, and the same woman is seen leaving a newsstand in front of the ex. (00:39:00)
Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode, when Sun is burying the message bottle late at night, the camera shows close-ups of her hands. In the space of a few seconds, she has no ring on her left hand, then a ring, then no ring. (00:40:30)
Other mistake: In the scene with Sawyer and Michael drifting on the pontoon, where Michael is crying, you briefly see a boat with a mast in the background in one shot over Sawyer's right shoulder as he faces the screen, just before he says "Are you all right Mike?". (00:38:10)
Live Together, Die Alone, Part 2 - S2-E24
Continuity mistake: When Ecko throws the belt at the wall, the position changes to when Charlie grabs it. (00:05:40)
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.
