For those who wonder whether they're just making stuff up on the fly, with some falling off the table never to be seen again (e.g. the polar bear), this Entertainment Weekly article examining the map may offer some reassurance.

Well, to be honest, I only liked X-Files for the 1st couple of seasons when it was a sci-fi/mystery series. Once it turned into a soap opera, I couldn't watch anymore. I see Lost going in a similar direction. I don't want to see pregnancies, love triangles, and people with personal issues. I want polar bears and trees flying into the sky.
I swear, Lost is 'one dead person coming back-to-life' away from being an evening version of "Days of Our Lives".
Meh, I'll keep watching anyway since I am still interested in it a little. Interesting read btw. Thanks.
(And, yeah... I noticed Sayid's gf there. There are a lot of those coincidences. I think even in one of the Jin sequences before the crash, Hurley is actually visible for a couple of seconds on a TV in the background from when he won the lottery.)
