Daniel, Charlotte and Miles were a team assembled to investigate the island/"rescue the survivors"/find Ben. They were assembled by the tall skinny black guy who we saw mysteriously harassing Hurley about the survivors in the flashforward. I think he worked for Widmore, but there's so many agendas within agendas . . . from my shaky memory I think he had/has more genuine interest in the survivors than Widmore ever pretended to.
They came on the freighter with Keamy and Naomi and Lapides. Charlotte I believe chose to stay behind, Daniel was ferrying the passengers and I think saw it was too late to make another trip, and I think Miles chose to stay as well. Lapides escaped with the Oceanic 6 and Desmond and were found by Penny.
I forgot Lapides was even with Daniel/Charlotte/Naomi/Miles.
Thanks!
Also -- I didn't see anyone mention this -- when Desmond woke up and told Penny he had to go to Oxford, Penny had on a wedding ring, which made me go squee.
Woops--Lapidus. Emailed a Lapides this afternoon to renew my pesticide license.
Man, Jeff Fahey is so much hotter as an older, heavier, scruffy hawaiian-shirt-wearing/Planet Terror-scene-stealing man than he ever was being pretty, slender and clean in The Marshall back in the 90's.
I really hope this isn't the last we've seen of him on Lost.
Seriously, there's
another
group of people on the island?!
Maybe they're looking for a way beyond the Thunderdome? Didn't get a good look at anyone else, but the awesome blonde seemed young. Maybe she's a surviving child of the Dharma group, or Rousseau's crew, or maybe descendants of Black Rock pirates/escaped prisoners?
But, seriously?!
re: Desmond only just remembering Daniel Farraday's cry for help, maybe time travel here works the way it did in Frequency?
They are wearing army uniforms.
nevermind, I completely forgot that the losties were unstuck in time and we're in the past now. Oooh...
But who are these guys and when did they get there?
I don't expect anyone to answer.
