Tash!
Me as well. Enjoying it, that is. I watch it and tape it then I watch the tape over the weekend. I pick up little stuff I didn't see the first time. I can't wait for it to come out on DVD! (Yeah, I'm rushing things a bit. So sue me.) I am enjoying the....unfolding?...of the events and the people and their backstories. I like that it's taking its time doing so, too.
Basically, I just LIKE it.

Anyone have any thoughts on the stones Jack found on the decomposed body? Black and white. What's up with this, is this a recurring theme?

This happens a lot in Florida, too. Sometimes the clouds don't even bother to show up before it starts raining.

I have watched Lost since the first episode, and though I'm still not sure what is going on I did have a theory. And just in case...
Select to view spoiler:
.Though I like some of the thoughts others have posted my first thought was that the island was somehow generating the hopes and fears of the lost passengers. Sorry but I'm bad with names and the shows still new, the Backgammon guy obviously didn't have much fear, but had a lot of hope as shown in the flashback of him wanting to go on walkabout. and he said something to Jack about having looked into the eye of the island and it being full of hope, this after those who were scared saw the "monster" heading his way. The first appearence of the monster was when everyone was scared, they had just crashed, had no idea where they were, etc. Lots of fear = big monster. In the cockpit scene, the pilot (wasn't that Weiss from Alias) just regained consciousness, same reaction, just crashed = fear = monster. Jack, obsessed with father, sees father. Rock band guy, hopeful of finding guitar...., and of course the small group seeking to place transmitters or whatever to boost their distress call, are afraid that noone will ever hear it, so a call that has never been heard....
or, I'm just off my nut I don't know, but I am hooked. Great show...

HELL-O PEOPLE!! This show is getting reallllly GOOD! Doesn't anyone want to talk about it? Please?
I love the golf course. Hurley rocks.
What about Ethan, is he a psycho-wanna-be or what? He wasn't on the airplane/manifest. Didn't any of the other passengers notice that he wasn't one of the survivors of their crash?? Do you think he is the "Alex" that the french lady was interrogating Said (sp?) about?

Dude, ethan scares the shit outta me. I started screaming last wensday, like seriously screaming, "Oh my god! He's not on the plane! Dude! HE WASN'T ON THE FUCKING PLANE!"
and then i got yelled at for saying fuck.
Anyway, I think that the French Chick really did kill whoever she was with, and this ethan dude is totaly unrelated. To quote Ann Heche in Six Days, Seven Nights, "This is not a good island for airplanes."
And yeah, I think that ethan could blend right in with everbody. People wouldn't think too much about a strange face because everybody (except those that were sitting around them) would be a strange face to everybody else. People obviously wern't sitting around on the island trying to figure out who everybody else was, this was the first ep where it even occured to anybody to do that. They also don't really have any reason to assume that there would be people who wern't in the plane crash on the island.
My question is, WTF does Ethan want w/ a pregnant chick and a guitar player? (or anybody for that matter) why is he evil? Where is he taking them? Is he gonna grind their bones to make his bread or what?
and the BIG question is: How many other people are on the island?

Ebo,
I think Ethan wants the baby and is just going to kill Clare and Charlie. It was so eerie when he met them on the trail! You could just SEE "I'm a lunatic" written all over his face.
And I thought it was really nice of dickhead (I forgot his name!) to give Hurley the manifest without being a jerk about it. And if Jack doesn't do something, Kate is going to hookup with him (the dickhead).

Someone pointed ou to me that. They don't show when Hurley says WHO is not on the manifest. He's about to say it then they cut to the Ethan Charlie and Claire situation.
'1 Sugarplum....'
That was so cute.

I've got to say I'm hooked on this show. It has become the only thing my wife & I watch besides Scrubs. & of course we're waiting for SG-1 to make it's way back to the airwaves. Sad to say I didn't start watching it till after a few episodes. We we're loyal Smallville fans. Then Smallville just started getting "weird" So I found episodes of LOST for download. Started at the beginning & caught up. From the first episode I have been rabid in my love of this show. I talk about it like I did Firefly. I'd hook up on their board except I like the layout of FFF.net. And It's like family over here. When I head David Fury was writing for LOST I knew it would be awesome. Just last night wife & I we're leaving Walmart & saw the newest Entertainment magazine. Jack & Kate on the front. You bet I bought it. I love all the theories as to what's taking place, but then there is this side of me that just wants to be as clueless as the "castaways" I guess that's what we're calling them. I want to figure it out with them. Oh, I came up with a great LOST drinking game & I don't even drink. Take a shot each time Hurley says "Dude".
For those of you who haven't see the show. DO NOT TRY TO JUMP IN THE MIDDLE. There is so much you will miss. If possible get episode copies from a friend or find them online via a torrent site. I found the first 8 episodes for straight download in ok quality here. http://www.tvshows.nu/rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=415
You may need a few codec's depending on what system you've got. But they are worth watching. This is some of the best television & story telling you'll ever see. Who knows I may have to break down & make some LOST inspired shirts at my Zazzle shop.

I love the show, too. Can't wait for the dvds to come out, but that's probably over a year away.
Another show I've found I like, even though I'm a semi-elderly guy, is Gilmore Girls. On last week's episode they even had a reference to "Spike and Drusilla". I laughed my head off at that one. But that show is often very funny. You have to really pay attention though because the dialogue moves along so quickly that you can easily miss things. The person I was watching with completely missed the "Spike and Drusilla" line. I had to repeat it back to her during the next commercial - she had been wondering why I was laughing so hard.
So my shows this year are a lot like yours - Scrubs and Lost, but I also watch Gilmore Girls and Joan of Arcadia - even though it's not quite as good as it was last year.
