Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Lost: So, is the Ethan character supposed to be the one who's among the crash survivors but who wasn't on the plane? Because, for the life of me, I cannot remember Locke being on the plane in his flashback.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Well, Locke's

wheelchair was on the plane. I think he was there.

I bet this week we open with a close-up of Sayid's eye as he regains consciousness, and we don't even find out who hit him until two weeks from now.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm betting on the French woman, even though everyone will think it was Sawyer.

Oh, Zenkitty, good point about the wheelchair. Even though, hell, That Island Just Ain't Right, and could probably spontaneously generate a wheelchair if it wanted to....

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Steph,

in the pilot or Kate's ep, you could see Locke sitting in a seat in the plane. No doubt he was on the plane.

While ground-dwelling bees could be indiginous to a tropical island, how did boars get there?

Oh, well, if the island can cough up a polar bear, boars should be no problem.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Actually European explorers and merchants used to seed islands with pigs as a way to set up a renewable, no-maintenance food source for later travels.

As for the polar bear, I'd say we have the options of scientific experimentation, riding a really big ice floe south, materializing from Walt's comic book, or a Coca Cola promotion gone horribly wrong.

Actually, the boar thing's the most likely of the lot. The folks who settled the Polynesian islands were big fans of the pork, and dragged pigs with them wherever they roamed. Pretty much any island in the South Pacific that ever had humans on, unless it's had a total ecological collapse, will have pigs on it.

Glad to have a sense-making explanation for the pigs, at least.

Though, you know, those aren't domesticated-type pigs. Those are wild boars. With tusks.
