To explain further, this video is a kind of recap-a summary- of the season finale. Running Up That Hill is a beautiful song and the more I thought about it, the more I thought this song suited the mood and theme of Through The Looking Glass. The video includes most ships including Jacket, Skate, Jate, PB&J, Jun and of course Bernard/Rose  It covers most of what happened in the finale too: The trek to the radio tower, Ben's appearance, the trap set for the Others and of course the loss of one of my favourite characters. I hoped for a comment or two (afterall who doesn't!  ) but I just thought I needed to add that =] |

I liked the song a good deal for the video; like you said, it is effective (and congratulations for figuring out the date, heh.) The 'swap our places' chorus with Charlie and Desmond is extremely effective.
You also had some decent beat use in there, incl. when Sayid's finger goes off the trigger and when Desmond dives into the water and the song changes, and when Charlie gives the 'It's OK' nod to Desmond.
Credits: You can cut them out with a 'zoom' effect in Windows Movie Maker. Try this website: here.
The black and white seemed just a little too monochrome for an entire video. Maybe a few splashes of color somewhere in there, for contrast? You use sepia at the end; maybe that punching into the rest of it would work.
At the end, the sped-up parts sometimes worked and sometimes didn't. They didn't work when characters were talking, as then I was conscious of the effect, not of the beat of the video. I also wasn't sure why there were two credits: Simply knocking out the title credit at the end would seem to me to solve that problem.
Dunno if any of this helps, but there's my opinions.
