Some that Ive yet to figure out are:

1. Where/why the polar bears and warthogs.
As mentioned, the island can move.

Belief is a huge part of the island. Walt always believed.

Locke believes, Sawyer (reluctantly) believes, so did Heroin Boy.

Echo did not have faith, he had guilt. While they tend to go hand in hand they are not the same.

No faith.

Both belive in the tangible only. Think of the movie "The Sphere."

He wasn't supposed to be there any more than Aron.

The people still on the island have hope. The Oceanic 6 are all in one stage of denial or another.

4 toed.
No idea.
If you figure that one out let me know.

Because she didn't know where she was or who (for sure, and when) she was with.

Plus, she's a crazy ****ing frog.

They were the next epoch. I'm guessing. There were hints to Norse mythology this episode. There were also purposeful mispronunciations of names to mimic old testament Angels.

He (Ben, think Greek/Roman mythology) was being punished. His crime is hubris. Hell, he reeks of a Loki allusion.

Nope.

We don't know why he is, only that he's greedy for it.

The writers have basically threw all kinds of shit against the wall to see what sticks.
I was with you at season 3. That's when I'd hit the wall and gave up. Right near the end of season 4 a coworker begged me to watch it and I got back into it.

I really think the end of 2 and most of 3 were filler. It wasn't well done and is very losely tied to what's going on...
