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.

Surely there was tonic water in the drink cart.

Hey, cool, I wondered if it was them. I thought this week's ep was the best use of a montage so far (partly because it was so short).
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.
No kidding. Maybe they're all using Sun's magical toothbrushes.
Vonnie's mapping is awesome. I realize now that Charlie is the perfect cross between Xander (earnestly dorky, rejected at first by almost all the ladies) and Oz (sweet, diminutive, musician, painted fingernails!). Also, a big yes to this:
Maybe Locke is Ethan, but they think that he is Giles.

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.)
For real, yo. I mentioned this to my mom, who also said she hoped they had a stash of Advil for cramps.
Though serious trauma can make a woman miss her period, and if anything qualifies as "serious trauma" I'd say a plane crash onto an island that has funky shit going down definitely qualifies.
Oh, that's the other fun part -- hope none of their plastic stuff is biodegradable plastic. Especially the plastic keeping the drugs dry. Aspirin, for one, gets all melty when it gets wet.
In addition to malaria and all those nice infectious diseases, I think in the interest of National Geographic we need to have some poisonous plants, preferably ones with really big spines that only stupid television people would go play with. Poisonous bugs are too hard to see on camera, and poisonous animals would require more silly CGI. (Although I am open to [a] a few nice giant bats and lizards in close-up and [b] the wanton importation of wetas, just for the jolt of bugs bigger than one's haid.)
I'm betting DDK's character speaks English. It's an HSQ moment that they can delay for years, and we all know the actor's quite fluent.
But what reason does
he
have to keep it a secret? The language barrier's only ever caused him trouble.

Not really. He got handcuffed, but he knew he'd eventually be let out. And when someone supposedly doesn't speak the language, people tend to talk in their presence as if they weren't there. Serious advantage there.
