I think I pointed out the 2 or 3 that I would have liked to have received more info on, but a dozen?? I can't imagine.
1. Aaron's significance and "not being raised by another."
2. Walt's powers
3. The Others and their motivations for being so confrontational with the Lostie that it'd eventually end up in several of their member dying(season 3 finale)
4. Ben's strange way of getting Jack to do surgery when Jack was always willing to help people out
5. Mr Eko and his connection with the island
6. Locke and his connection with the island
7. Childbirth issues apparently dating back quite a long time due to the presence of the statue of Tawaret
8. The numbers
9. Why did the hostiles and the Others not get along? What was the initial cause of their hatred of one another?
10. Why were "the candidates" chosen out of everyone in the world? What exactly was special about them?
11. How did the mother get to the island....is there any reason other than "God made it that way" that the island is so magical?
12. When they came back to the island, how come some jumped to different time periods?
13. "The island won't let Michael die"....wtf? And how did smokie appear off island to Michael(on the boat) and to Jack in the hospital?
14. What would've happened if Smokey left the island
15. What did Dharma study and find out about the island
16. Why did Richard not age(but not have any other apparent powers)?
17. Room 23....wtf exactly were the Others doing here? They made the Others seem so incredibly strange, and to find out that they were simply a normal unimportant group of people just doesn't fit in with many of the earlier season storylines.
18. Why does Desmond jump through time? What exactly was "special" about him?
19. What was Eloise's motivation? Why was she ok with sending Daniel back if she knew he'd die?
20. What was Dogen's/the temple's power that kept smokey out until Dogen died?
21. Why did Jack think Adam and Eve were only 50 years old?
22. What exactly was "the loophole" that MiB used to have Jacob killed?
23. If Jacob was simply looking for someone willing to give everything they had for the island, then wtf was so wrong with Ben that Jacob wouldn't even talk to him for years? Ben, while quite selfish at times, definitely did have a love for the island all along.
24. Remember the snow globe and moon theories? Why exactly is the island so hard to find? Why do you have to leave on an exact bearing? How did the Others travel to and from it so easily whereas it was so tough for other people?
25. What happens when someone is "infected"? How were Sayid and Claire changed back to being good? Why did Claire leave her baby and wonder off in the first place?
26. What exactly did the bomb at the end of season 5 do?
27. What were the rules, how did Jacob(or whomever else) get the power to make them, how were they enforced, how come they could sometimes be broken?
28. What was Illana's story? She knew a ton and had met Jacob off island, yet she just died unexpectedly.
29. How or why did Miles have his powers? Apart from him, nobody off island had any strange powers so its kinda weird to have a show full of normal people but then have one person with superpowers, no?
30. Why did Widamore want Rousseau's baby dead? Why did Ben raise her?
I'm sure I could go on and on.....
