I do think the island presents unique challenges to each that makes them challenge previously errant ways. The role of "the others" in seeking the children and those who are good fits with this theory, as does the Dharma project (requires them to practice an act of world preservation once every couple hours - brainwashing with behavioral reinforcement).

Waves,
I became aware of how fanatical I was about that show. It was so distracting. Thank goodness at least one season was shortened due to the the strike.
I was reliving some of that time when I was thinking about the show. I took a break
and. . . truth be told . . . . my tv station that was running Lost all week last week is not running it at all this week or next week.
Parts of some episodes are clear in my mind -- like the scene with Ana Lucia and Shannon and Sayid of course but some of the Claire / Charlie bits did not register with my mind as much. I kind of tuned out whenever Sun was around.
But with Sawyer, I long remembered the things he said.
Most of the episodes I saw two and three times because I saw them in repeats. I found Libby mysterious and liked her.

Here is something different about your viewing experience that is neat.
At season 2 episode 11 the events of the show are at 56 days.
That means that this is less than two months since the plane crash.
I started watching Sept 2004 so Season 2 episode 11 was about Jan / Feb 2006 for me -- almost 1 1/2 years to cover 56 days.
I did spend time thinking about how those folks ended up on the island and why. I felt that most of them were there for a reason and in some cases their reason for being on the island was finished earlier than it was for other people who had to keep on.
