And I kind of had a hunch all along that they were all dead anyway
Maybe I'm totally wrong, but I don't think that the Losties in the primary universe were ever meant to be dead (aside from the ones who obviously were-- Michael's ghost, Jacob, and so forth). I think that the secondary universe was meant to have been where their post-death consciousnesses transferred to.
And why didn't Jack or Desmond turn into a smoke monster after going down the well?
GOOD EFFING QUESTION. What happened at that point in "Across The Sea"? Did Smokey just fall down onto the rock? "Hey, bro! There's a big glowing, rotating thing down here!" Also, if someone can find their way back to the Source after being led there, why couldn't Smokey after Jacob dragged him there and threw him in? /shrug
How come they didn't make anything of the parallel between the stab wound in Jack's abdomen and his appendectomy on the beach?
Maybe because the wounds to his neck and stomach were his death wounds.

Well, I've now switched my thinking, after reading a number of postings on the LJ communities, that the flashes-sideways are the only post-life experiences that they had; the rest was real.
"Funny; I've felt that Jack was an annoying douche up until the last season-and-a-half. I'm still not a Jack fan, per se, but... I've come to sympathize with him."
Actually, I hated him in Seasons 3-5; he started to seem more sympathetic again this season, but not like he was the first season. I'm starting to think he had to go through the emo stage as, being a doctor, he was forced to get past his "God complex" and finally come to realize that he couldn't "fix" everything.

I'm glad you've come around to that way of thinking. If I'd ever taken it the way you initially took it, I would have been horribly frustrated and annoyed.

I, actually, started to like him just a tiny bit more during his breakdown. Not because he was doing anything better, but just because he was more entertaining. Of course, this will always be my favorite Jack moment:
LOL ... I shouldn't be laughing, but that flying toolbox anim does look really funny ... repeated over and over.
"The funny thing is, I think I gained a lot of sympathy for Jack when I was doing my fanmix for him. It was the first time that had occurred to me, actually: Holy shit. How awful would it be to be in love with Kate?"
OMG, you're right! She officially became the Most Annoying Character for me in Season 3 when she stood there sobbing and begging Jack to save Sawyer's life. (But I still think they kind of deserved each other.)
"YOU MEAN HIS ADORABLE TEACHER HAIR"
Well, we thought it was adorable, of course; it was Michael Emerson who made fun of sideways!Ben's "bad hair" in the online commentary he wrote for that episode.
