I thought they were flashbacks of the new characters? Well, flashbacks in island timeframe.
Me, too.
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
New work was just having a Lost discussion right behind me, so I joined right in (they needed Naomi's name).
I learned a new OMGWTF Polar Bear! theory though! He got caught up in Desmond's time travelling.

Wait... I thought they were flashbacks of the new characters? Well, flashbacks in island timeframe.
Oh, wait, they did find the wreckage after the plane crashed initially, didn't they? And they thought everyone had died. Right. I'm stupid. Now I need to re-align my brain, as it makes far more sense for them to be flashbacks.

Ha! I forgot about Desmond's time traveling.

Though I can't figure out why Daniel was crying in his flashback, when he saw the TV report with the "wreckage" of 815.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Yeah, the crying thing was odd. Whoever can make plane wreckage has a lot of money. So there's some big players in this.
I haven't a clue why 4 random people would be assembled as a team to track down Ben. It's not like it's a crack team.
I do think they're spinning it off in an interesting new direction, though.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I loved that they explained that Locke survived because he didn't have a kidney on that side. Ha ha ha. Awesome.
Yeah, that was good. I also liked how Locke stopped Sawyer from killing Ben by asking if he really wanted to do it in front of Ben's daughter. Ouch!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'd assume Washed Up Pilot got on their radar when he called in about NotThePilot!Weiss. Assuming "they" are Dharma.
Seemed like the woman might already have been on the radar or working for them.
That leaves Weirdo Physicist and the Ghostbuster.

That leaves Weirdo Physicist and the Ghostbuster.
I assumed that a Ghostbuster would be on their radar, too, just because he's a ghostbuster and therefore somewhat freaky.

Ha! I forgot about Desmond's time traveling.
I'm beginning to think the writers have as well.

That's why I thought it was a flashforward. It felt like it had to be...wait a second. I think I'm still confused. When did they find the wreckage? These "flashbacks" are occurring when the Lostaways are already on the island, then? And this is what triggers the raid? And that was "wreckage" because we know that the front half of the plane ended up on the beach (which means there's no way they could even presume to have the pilot down there, who I forgot was Weiss...and that picture of Seth Norris didn't look like him, did it?)?
So, why was Daniel crying? And...what the hell is with the ghostbuster? (Dude, maybe HE can talk to Jacob!)
And why are they coming to get Ben now, after all this time?
Heh, I just called the number and listened to the recorded message.
I'm beginning to think the writers have as well.
I was going to add that, but the Matthew Fox interview in Entertainment Weekly leads me to believe differently.
