Anyone who was wondering about the song in the montage this week, ABC.com has it as "I Shall Not Walk Alone" by The Blind Boys of Alabama.
Mal: So we run. Nandi: I understand, Captain Reynolds. You have your people to think of, same as me. And this ain't your fight. Mal: Don't believe you do understand, Nandi. I said 'we run'. We.
'Heart Of Gold'
Lost: OMGWTF POLAR BEAR
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Art Crawl!!!
Maybe Locke is Ethan, but they think that he is Giles.

Punishingly Intricate
Charlie seems much more Xander to me than Oz. so far anyway.

Haven't spotted Willow, yet.
Didn't you notice Sun staring at Kate for, like, weeks while the latter obliviously bathed in her skivvies?
And now that I've pointed that out, and recalled that the producers had Charlie flirting with her at first, and are showing Sawyer obsessed with her, Sayid respectfully and sweetly attracted, etc., I have a disturbing mental image of the Monster giving her puppy dog looks and picking flowers for her.
Thank God for Dr. Jack, who seems more interested in landscaping projects.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Have no wisdom on cross-show character comparisons.
I was instead thinking about practical things, like, what have I learned from Survivor that I can apply to this show? (Okay, not just Survivor.) Aside from the whole shaving issue, what are the women going to do when they get their periods? (One presumes they won't actually become malnourished enough not to have them.) How will characters deal with sex if there aren't any (or are very few) condoms? When they run out of matches, will Locke be able to teach everyone to start a fire from scratch? What happens during the rainy season, when wet clothes begin to rot? What happens when Doctor Jack uses up all his quinine on the first person who gets malaria?
And are Scott and Steve edible? I think we are gonna run out of boars eventually.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
All very good questions, Nutty.
Each of the issues you raise can, I'm sure, be dealt with by a plant that Sun is familiar with and which grows on the island.
The fruit of the tampon tree (actually a herb!) will come in handy. As will the condom shrub, the match thistle and a type of succulent that oozes water-proofing Gortex when you squeeze it.

Our wings are not tired.
Aside from the whole shaving issue, what are the women going to do when they get their periods?
Cloth pads that they launder.
How will characters deal with sex if there aren't any (or are very few) condoms?
Not so effective rhythm and withdrawal methods that will be effective because island magic.
When they run out of matches, will Locke be able to teach everyone to start a fire from scratch?
There will be an eternal flame maintained.
What happens during the rainy season, when wet clothes begin to rot?
All naked all gay episodes.
What happens when Doctor Jack uses up all his quinine on the first person who gets malaria?
Sun finds healing plants
And are Scott and Steve edible? I think we are gonna run out of boars eventually.
The boars are mating as we type.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
How will characters deal with sex if there aren't any (or are very few) condoms?
I figure once they run out of soap, it won't really be an issue anymore.
(Behind the HAWTness of the Kate/Sawyer kiss, I couldn't help wonder if either of them had brushed their teeth in the past two weeks.)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Also, if they keep proceding at one day per episode, by the end of the season, they'll only have been on the island for three weeks or so, so most of this won't even have to be addressed until next season at earliest.
What happens when Doctor Jack uses up all his quinine on the first person who gets malaria?
I mentioned malaria up thread. Surely there are mosquitos on the island.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
what are the women going to do when they get their periods?
Go back to the rags, as it was pre-Tampax Revolution.
How will characters deal with sex if there aren't any (or are very few) condoms?
I am shocked, SHOCKED, to hear that there could be non-procreationary sex going on in there!
When they run out of matches, will Locke be able to teach everyone to start a fire from scratch?
Yes, because the island is new dawn of man and Locke is totally the Prometheus.
What happens during the rainy season, when wet clothes begin to rot?
All nekkid, all the time! Woo-hoo!
What happens when Doctor Jack uses up all his quinine on the first person who gets malaria?
Dude, if Jack had any quinine in his bag to start with, I'd eat my shorts.
Actually, I'm looking forward to the first episode in which Jack would have to deal with some kind of tropical infection.
