I'm betting on the French woman, even though everyone will think it was Sawyer.
My god...he's gonna do the whole speech.

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....

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.

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

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.

Easiest way to get "wild" boars is to leave domesticated pigs alone in the jungle for a few generations. Feral pigs are hard to tell from the original wild stock.

That brings up something... it just occurred to me to wonder what that herd of swine that Jesus drove the demon into was doing hanging around considering the Jewish strictures against pork. Belonged to occupying Roman forces, I guess?
Hmm, so from a certain point of view he could have been seen as a radical zooterrorist...
