1. Jack's waking so far from the plane--couldn't have survived being thrown out into the jungle. Of course, no one should have survived, but perhaps the magnet drew the plane in at some fixed and fairly low speed.
2. Hurley's Spanish-language comic book, featuring some kind of dying alien in a dome on the moon. It's left ambiguous whether he brought it with him on the plane; the scenes where he walks down the aisle deliberately tease about that. And it's made a big deal of, especially when finally burnt.
3. The rest of Jack's tattoo, hopefully a less boring story than the lower part.
4. What happened to Jack's father's body.
5. What the deal is with Jin's watch.
6. Walt's coincidence powers: was he conceived on the island or something? Over it?
7. When the real Sawyer will turn up. Hopefully it isn't the old guy Tom.
8. Why the island sterilizes women.
9. What those black and white bead things from the corpses at the spring are.
10. Whether that little plane of Kate's has anything to do with anything.
11. Why the numbers are cursed only when used to win something--why they always do win if so used--why the curse goes away on the island.
12. What Mr. Eko's "Stand and Look North" message, or whatever it was, refers to, and why it makes the island's watchdog kill to keep that reference secret.
13. Whether the island's watchdog is the impersonater of dead people, or just in cahoots.
14. What that noise is it makes--some submarine sonar sound?
15. How people are predicting and/or causing coincidence deaths--such as the mascara-wearing recruiter and the jewelry store clerk from the past.
16. Whether the Others are continuous with the billionaire-backed research group from the '70s.
17. What Penelope is doing with her knowledge of the island's location.
18. Walt's and Michael's fate.
19. Why the island wants to kill Charlie.
20. Whether the clerk lied to Desmond about deaths being inevitable.
21. Why Desmond's consciousness is thrown back into the past between concussions.
22. What future concussion has thrown him back to the present.
23. Why Edmund Burke is alive and sporting an eyepatch in an undiscovered bunker.
24. What we're to understand by his being named Edmund Burke.
25. The strange brainwashing messages being used on Carl ("God loves you like he loved Jacob," "You make your own suffering" etc.).
26. Why the Others prefer to live on the main island.
27. Why Juliet's 'mark' looked more like a series of incisions used to either implant or remove something small and circular.
28. Why there is a giant four-toed statue in the harbor.
29. Why the Others' main complex is underwater.
30. Why the bunkers ring the magnet-thing (possibly answers 29, though that complex seems to not be viewable from the surveillance bunker).
31. Why the magnet thing creates retroactive coincidences when the failsafe is activated.
32. Why those coincidences always involve new humans showing up.
33. Why people die right after making a personal breakthrough (possibly just for dramatic reasons).
34. Whether Ben's spinal tumor has something to do with the magnet.
35. Why Rousseau thought the Others were diseased, and that the newcomers soon would be too.
36. Why "Make Your Own Kind of Music" was playing in the bar when Desmond failed to foretell the future, then later when he succeeded.
37. Why the island ghosts (or whatever they are) wanted Charlie to steal Claire's baby, or just be disgraced for it. Maybe this was made clear, I can't remember that subplot.
38. How the magnet is now being kept neutralized, without the numbers. Burke?
39. Where Sayid's true love is.
40. Why the researchers were interested in polar bears (which were also in the comic book).
41. How John Locke's legs got better in the first place.
42. Why Juliet wants to go home so bad when no one else seems to.
43. Juliet's 'history' with Ben.
44. Whether Kate actually loves James. Not that I particularly care, but for completism.
45. When and how Kate's husband will show up, because you know he will.
46. What they injected in Claire's baby.
47. That stuff Rousseau wrote, with the Bobby Darin song lyrics in French and all that--was that ever satisfactorily explained?
48. How the $100,000 bottle of whiskey got there. Or was that Hurley's?
49. Where the priest's body went to, though I suppose the island watchdog could have thrown it somewhere.
50. What happened to the original researchers.
Just the ones I can remember.
