LOST: The Best AND Worst Show EVER!

As I sit here pondering what I just saw on tonight's LOST, I can't help but continually go back and forth in my head, at once praising the show for being brilliant and blowing everything else on TV out of the water, but also cursing it for continuing to throw me for loops and wondering what the hell is going on. What was Charlie going to tell Hurley? Why did Hurley say he should have gone with Jack when Hurley wants to be back on the island but Jack was leading the group of people trying to get off the island? Who was the tall black guy Hurley spoke with in the mental institution, what did he want, and was he real, or a figment of his imagination like Charlie? If one of both of the tall man and Charlie were figments of Hurley's imagination, why did other people in the mental institution point out said characters to Hurley? Was Hurley imaging the whole lot of people in the institution? And finally, "The Oceanic 6." Jack, Kate, Hurley...Who are the other 3?

So many questions, and only 7 more episodes, for now, to get answers.
