House of the Rising Sun - S1-E6

Revealing mistake: When Jack and Kate run from the bees, they enter the cave, and when they remove their tee shirts Jack's back and sides are perfectly visible. There is not even the slightest hint of any kind of scar, on the left side of Jack's back, from the nasty cut that Kate recently sewed up with the black thread. (00:12:40)

Exodus (1) - S1-E23

Revealing mistake: When we see Jack and Co on the way to Black Rock, walking along some rocks just as Locke notices the scratches on Danielle's arm, Jack's tattoo is not visible on his left shoulder, revealing a flipped shot. (00:24:30)

Born to Run - S1-E22

Continuity mistake: When Kate runs out of the hospital room, she goes through a door with her right arm/shoulder going first. Camera changes to the other side of the door and now her left arm/shoulder is going through first. (00:31:00)

Born to Run - S1-E22

Continuity mistake: When Sawyer holds up the passport for Michael to see, the way he holds it changes between shots. In the first shot he is holding it at an angle, and in the next it's perfectly level. (00:28:00)

Born to Run - S1-E22

Continuity mistake: When Sawyer throws the bottle to Michael, Michael's arm moves between shots. Easy to tell as in the close up of the bottle, you can see his fingers flat on the floor but they're not there in the next shot. (00:26:30)

Born to Run - S1-E22

Continuity mistake: When Walt is talking to Locke about the injury to his leg, Locke doesn't have a bandage on his leg. However, a couple of seconds later he's pulling his trouser leg down with a bandage around his leg. (00:25:30)

Deux Ex Machina - S1-E19

Continuity mistake: Boone throws a statue out of the plane on to the ground by Locke. When the statue smashes, it's in the middle of a small circle that is cleared of leaves and vegetation. However, when Locke picks up the pieces, the small circle of cleared ground is gone. (00:32:10)

Deux Ex Machina - S1-E19

Continuity mistake: Boone explains who Terresa was and he has a bag strap across his chest. (The strap is the same colour as his shirt but is distinguishable by the lack of wrinkles in his shirt.) During camera changes, this bag strap disappears without him removing it. (00:25:00)

Numbers - S1-E18

Continuity mistake: Just after the bunker has blown up, Jack and Sayid are talking. Throughout this conversation, the key on the necklace around Jack's neck keeps changing from out to tucked in constantly. (00:29:20)

Tabula Rasa - S1-E3

Locke: Do you play checkers with your Pop?
Walt: No. I live in Australia with My Mom. She got sick, she died a couple of weeks ago.
Locke: You're having a bad month.

The End (2) - S6-E18

Question: I recently submitted a question about whether everyone died on the plane or on the island. The answer I got was unsatisfactory. The answer was they did not all die in the plane crash but on the island where the events in the show really did happen. If this is the case, everyone in purgatory at the end makes no sense. If they all died on the island, then where were other characters like Michael, Ecko, etc. Also how did Kate, Sawyer, Hurley, Ben, etc. end up dead and in purgatory at the end of the series? Last we saw them they were still alive on the island. Are we to assume that everyone died at the end of last season when the bomb went off? I need more info here.

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.
