***Okay so Edmund Burke was just a joke, the eyepatch guy was someone else. Presumably the writers of the show are liberals and don't much like what they know of Burke.
***The numbers. There are six of them, the first two numeralphabetize as D & H, so Dharma, the symbol for which, and perhaps for Oceanic? is I believe hexagonal...as was the formation of bunkers around the Numbers complex if I'm not mistaken. 23 and 42 are homages to Wilson and Adams so there's no code that we're supposed to be unraveling for the last four numbers--thank goodness. The numbers are used against the numbers, also: the computer ones contain the coincidence magnet, which draws people to it (or anyway drew the Oceanic flight) using combinations of those same numbers. This show will never deal directly with God, it's on ABC after all, but we're dealing with Name of God type Qabbala powers. That one is employed against another may feed into the weird Dark v. Light talk in Season One.
***The statue in the harbor is surely more or less a red herring. Among the people drawn to the island--since the worlf began?--some tried to assimilate its magical goings-on to their existing religion, hence the four toes and all, some man/animal god idol, and were then wiped out or altered in character by the next batch.
***It may not be the "island" appearing to people. Walt's powers were 1) coincidence deaths and 2) remote appearances to one individual at a time. Maybe someone with the same powers is making the appearances; if they're in someone's mind maybe the sender can alter the features seen, thus replicating Eko's brother, Jack's father etc. etc. What's the deal with Walt, I wonder: conceived over the island through Mile High Club efforts? If not then there was something going on with the mother: perhaps she was connected with the Others.
***The Dharma Project has some remnant left, since the Russian at the communications station mistook Kate et al. as hostile parties breaking a long-standing truce. So clearly there's some still out there, who will hopefully explain to us how the Dharma gazillionaire guy discovered the numbers and island, or both at once, in the first place.
***The dying alien in the comic book in Season One may imply the stuff at the heart of the island is some alien presence needing a new home, inside genetically altered human beings perhaps.
***Tom is clearly Tom Sawyer.
***The selection of incomers favors people who would fit in well in cults: everyone has parent troubles, especially guilt re. fathers--and dead, estranged or missing parents
