I don't know about the rest of you but I want to see a Vincent flashback episode. Yes, that's right, the dog. I'm not trying to be silly, really. Think of the possibilities. Being that he's a dog, nobody's going to censor themselves around him so even if he doesn't understand exactly what's going on the audience will. Through Vincent's eyes we can see the cast of characters with their guards down at various times on the island or even some strange phenomenon he's come across. For example, maybe he had an encounter with the island monster or maybe he witnessed Ethan doing something sinister well before taking Claire. The episode practically writes itself.

It would be Lost's "The Zeppo"!

I'm not sure the American viewing public is ready for an hour of the camera running around frenetically, stopping only to sniff people's butts and crotches.

Well, maybe if the show were airing on Fox...

I still want to know how Locke regained his mobility. And what he saw re: the leafosaurus that made him smile. And how he knew that it would rain in 10 minutes, and the guitar, and the..and the...

Just too much.

The mobility could be explained.

His being in the wheelchair could be because of a compressed vertebrae or something else that was too dangerous to operate on to free the spinal cord from being pinched. In the crash, his body was flung about and just happened to undo the pinch or compression so that normal function was restored.

If he's only been paralized for five years, and he's taken care of his physical body and kept up the exercises, adreneline could explain his being able to walk right away afterwards.

Also, we never saw to what extent he was paralyzed, he could have had a severely limited range of motion, that precluded walking, but allowed him to crawl a bit in bed, etc.

Wouldn't it be something if at the height of his plans that he suffered a relapse and was incapacitated again?

And he looked up at the sky and shouted, "KHAAAAAAAAAANN!!!"

And how he knew that it would rain in 10 minutes,

It was one minute, IIRC. He could probably see the line of rain coming towards them earlier, and calculated the speed of the approaching rain line.

and the guitar

The guitar? He probably saw it in the tree earlier, and didn't mention it until he saw an opportunity to work with Charlie.

I'm just using Occam's Razor, mind you....

I've been pondering... how would people break out the A and B stories (maybe C, if they have one) of the episodes? I was mentally doing so to see where I'd group the actors in terms of screen time. Mine went something like this:

1x1: A: plane crash and reaction to it, cockpit mission. I guess you could call these A and B, but to me they felt like one storyline and there wasn't really a B plot.

1x2: A: transceiver expedition B: marshal operation

1x3: A: Kate and the Marshal B: Walt?

1x4: A: hunting expedition B: burning the fuselage

1x5: A: Jack's visionquest B: the water theft

1x6: A: Sun & Jin and the watch B: exploring the caves

1x7: A: Charlie and the cave collapse B: the triangulation project

1x8: A: Sawyer, the inhalers, torture B: Charlie and Claire and moving to the caves.

1x9: A: Sayid and Danielle B: Hurley and the golf course

1x10 A: Claire and her fears over the baby B: Hurley and the census

1x11 A: The hunt for Claire B: Hmm, does this really have a differentiated B?

1x12 A: Kate, Sawyer, Jack tussle over the case B: Rose and Charlie? Sayid and Shannon? Not sure which I'd class as B and which as C.

1x13 A: Boone transfers allegiance to Locke B: Hmm. There's Hurley and Sayid/Shannon threads, but it seems like the 'Jack takes a walk down to the beach, checks in with everyone and gets suspicious of Locke' thread is actually more dominant.

If he's only been paralized for five years, and he's taken care of his physical body and kept up the exercises, adreneline could explain his being able to walk right away afterwards.

I'm highly skeptical of this, though spinal adjustment undoing the actual paralysis is a possibility. My dad has very limited walking mobility with a cane, and a couple weeks of confinement to bed in a hospital robbed him of so much strength and steadiness that he needed twice as long undergoing rehab therapy to regain the lost ground. Within days of getting up on that beach Locke was not only going on long hikes, but also dragging a 120+ lb. piglet a considerable distance. I think the restoration of his full function and muscular strength has to be something miraculous rather than an explicable result of the crash.
