There was talk about losing the spoiler tags, so I assume I'm not hurting anyone's feelers here...
[SPOILER]If you saw the teaser clips for next week at the tail end of the show, it shows Ana Lucia being thrown into a pit with Sawer and co. Ana Lucia is the lady who was drinking and flirting with Jack in a flashback. They were in the airport, and she was drinking to calm her nerves and jokingly asked Jack if he would like to switch seats- hers was in the back of the plane.
I didn't catch the logo on the shark at first myself, but a friend captured a frame and emailed it to me, and it clearly shows the logo on the shark's tail.
Also, speaking of the logo- It seemed to me to be vaguely remeniscint of the Korean flag with those bars sruuounding a ying yang-ish symbol. I googled it and found out that those symbols are called "kwae". There are 8 kwae symbols, and all 8 are on the logo (there are only 4 on the korean flag). They mean (starting at the top and going clockwise) fire, earth, lake, heaven, water, mountain, thunder, wind. The cool thing about it is that the symbol for 'thunder' is pronounced 'JIN' and the symbol for 'wind' is pronounced 'SUN' = as in the characters on the show Jin and his wife Sun.[/SPOILER]
maybe I'll put this in spoilers anyway... :D

Anyone else notice that Michael had a stuffed polar bear for Walt in that flashback?

Just as an educational point, snice you seem to be interested:
[SPOILER]The lines that you talk about are from the I Ching, a Taoist spirtual and divining book. They are know as trigrams and are formed out of yin (broken lines) and yang (solid lines). These six trigrams make the 64 hexagrams in the I Ching.[/SPOILER]

Cool- I don't know anything about them, really. I just googled it and got my information from sites explaining the meaning of the Korean flag, and from martial arts sites explaining what they mean because they use them in their teaching philosophy. If you know more about it, you might be able to divine more clues. Especially what the symbol in the middle is, and what is written on it. Anyway, with the connections I've found, I'm wondering if Sun's godfather-esque powerful CEO dad (and Jin's boss) has anything to do with the island...

I just rewatched the second episode, and I'm thinking that maybe
[spoiler]Desmond seems to think that the entire outside world outside of his hatch existence doesnt exist - he also questions locke whether anyone got sick "sick like dead".
but noone has gotton sick (that we know of), so that question seems a bit ridiculous. then we see sawyer et al. washed up, and being attacked by "others".
reading the synopsis for episode 3, "Orientation"; says that sawyer et al. find themselves with survivors from teh plane crash who have had a different experience.
or maybe this illness thing we've been hearing about only affects one side of the island?
possible linkup to the black v. white, good v. evil thing we have going.
the virus is on the "evil" side of the island; where ana lucia landed; while jack et al. are on the "good" side of the island and so are unaffected.
while desmond in the hatch is in the middle?[/spoiler]
do we know where the hatch is in relation to the beach etc?

It was allegedly about a "mile" off the beach.
