Sayid, Sun, and Jin return and apparently no one notices or cares, ESPECIALLY since they lost a boat! A good seaworthy boat. Isn't that worth having even a 3 second scene of them arriving back at the camp?

Every episode usually follow one characters POV for those days. So think of it like this. we dont see the lives of other losties who don;t interact with out primary character for the episode.
Another thought is that crazy S happens all over this island so its becoming a little more commonplace for wierdness. Maybe Sun and Jin and Sayid came back soaking wet that niught and crawled into bed dissappointed. we dont see them go to bed all the time but we know it happens.
Some scenes dont actually help push the plot along. 3 seconds or not... they show us what they want and its from those clues that we'll find the answer... not what isnt shown.
( and they only have 43 mins of time to fill after commercials so its not a ton of time every week.)

Yes they cleared up thier absence quite well with that discussion.
Emerge yourself in the story for a second and be one of them whose a scared follower. our main characters probably didnt interact with them... what with all the jack is in charge no sawyer, no locke. no hurley, other attacking, guy in the hatch... lots of fighting over power. They probably just sat back and made whoopie. shes hot... you know it.
and we always follow one main charcter per episode. introducing too many people in the first season would have been too much. with the whole hatch episodes, we saw interactions of those people in the KNOW... ( and since they were keeping henry gale in the hatch a secret, we wouldnt see scene with them talking to random losties... )
its only now that jack and sawyer and kate are gone that other losties have to be in "the know"... otherwise they can't help.
again plot points that need to be pushed, are pushed for that main character.
we assume everyone goes to the bathroom too ....
