IGN's Top 50 Lost Loose Ends

http://tv.ign.com/articles/745/745595p1.html

"Lost is a unique television series that manages to be engagingly captivating yet annoyingly frustrating. As big of fans of the show as we are here at IGN, we have more questions about the show's events than we have answers. So as Lost goes on a three-month-long Day Break, we thought we'd count down our Top 50 Lost Loose Ends.

Each day this week, we'll reveal 10 loose ends that continue to nag us as we watch the show. From recent events to little things it appears the show has forgotten about to the really big mysteries, we're going to try to cover them all. Please note that we're defining a "loose end" as something that was brought up on the show but has yet to be resolved or explained on screen. If something has been addressed on another medium -- such as The Lost Experience online game, official podcasts or episode commentaries -- we consider it to still be a loose end since the average Lost viewer would not have seen the explanation."

ha pretty funny stuff... I'm guessing the Penny Whitmore stuff will be the number 1 loose end.

Damn...forgot about that cable! I thought it was just a way to lead someone to Rousseau's trap.

I'm mostly interested in the four-toe statue because it'll connect to some history on that island and probably answer more than one question.

Some interesting questions here.

#33: Jack Tossed from the Plane

In the first shot of the "Pilot" episode we watch Jack's eyes dilate after waking up, lying in a forest. We find out from here that the plane has crashed and Lost is kick-started… but our question is how did Jack get thrown from the wreckage? While everybody that survived was busy running around on the beach, Jack quietly wakes up far off in the distance. Was Jack moved or placed in that position? Why did his pupils dilate? Some believe that the dilation was in fact the reflection of the black smoke flying into the air away from him -- which seems unlikely, but you never know. Another question that we found in this situation stems from how Vincent (Walt's dog) comes from even deeper in the woods to Jack's position. So why was Vincent walking around so far away from everybody on the beach? Was he with the somebody who may or may not have dropped Jack off in the forest? And finally, do you remember when the tail section crashed? Ana Lucia mentioned that the way she knew that Goodwin was an Other was because of the fact that he came from the forest dry as a bone. So since Jack entered onto the beach the same was as Goodwin, does that make Jack an Other (with amnesia -- induced or natural)? Or is this all just a coincidence?

I never even thought about Jack being so far off from everyone.

Of course, we know he's on the plane and we also see his past so he couldn't be an Other, right?

Unless, everyone's past is fake. That would explain people showing up in each other's flashbacks and also explain in a silly way (without considering that it's done because it makes sense) why flashbacks always relate to the present situation at hand. All highly unlikely, though.
