The Event - Help us compile the Outstanding List of Mysteries

Sometimes I feel like I'm one of the few people who is enjoying this show!

I remember when Dark first setup his Lost site that he had a great list of outstanding mysteries. I thought it would be cool to try something similar for The Event.

I thought we'd create a thread where we can list all the outstanding Mysteries/Questions from the show in one place.

Feel free to add replies and I'll periodically go through them and update this post.
