I believe there are two main possibilities on the part of the writers, 1) they knew exactly where the story was going and how it was going to end, but were able to keep it within a very tightly knit group and, thus, secret, or 2) they retroactively wrote episodes to bring small events that happened early on into the forefront. I believe that the more logical (perhaps even hopeful version) is the first possibility. The depth of the characters and the Island is so rich and complex that I cannot believe that they were written by the seat of their pants. More on this to come later...

On the Insanity that is LOST
This show is the biggest mind f*** on TV. The seemingly unrelated and unplanned events that have taken place over the past 6 seasons that many have mocked as being made up as they go are deeply interrelated. I say this after having started the series over again and seen many plot threads that were established in even the first episode, but some more central ones in the 3rd, 4th and 5th episodes of the series.
