I always thought the effects in Lost were a bit pants

But I didn't even notice this.

I knew the plane was CGI, but not all the vines and trees. The only thing that was real in the final shot was Locke's chrome dome. Talk about seamless.

I suppose the best effects are the ones we don't notice.

The 316 plane crash in season 5 looked pretty bad though.

Yeah, that was the kind of crumby effects I had in mind. Of course, Lost makes up for all this with its story. Heroes could take leaf out of their book.
