Another great episode again. I was a bit surprised to see the episode revolve around the "rescuers" with their flashbacks, but I found the characters intriguing and about how they were tied to Oceanic 815.

Dan was played by Jeremy Davies, who brought his usual nervous and unsure mannerisms to this character, seems to know someone on that flight, but that's about it.

Miles, played by Ken Leung, we don't know much about him except that he apparently can talk to ghosts or supernatural entities. He might prove useful in figuring out who Jacob is in future episodes.

Charlotte, played by Rebecca Mader, who I recognized from the short-lived Justice TV series on Fox last season, found a Dharma Initiative polar bear in Tunisia. Might be the least interesting of the four, but we'll wait and see.

And Frank, played by Lawnmower Man Jeff Fahey, seems the most interesting, being the original pilot who was supposed to fly Oceanic 815.

I hope most of you recognized that the black man who is Naomi's boss was also the same guy who visits Hurley in the mental ward in his flashforward scene last week. Lots of mystery and questions about him. He doesn't have a name yet, so I'm not sure what to call him.

That was a whopper of an ending, but not entirely unexpected, at least by me. I slightly suspected that they might be after Ben or one of the Others, but I was shocked at Ben saying that he has a spy among the people on the freighter. At least that makes sense in how much he knew about Charlotte's background, and why he knows that these people intend to harm him, in particular.

But I have a feeling that these 4 "rescuers" don't have any actual ties to Ben, but that Naomi's boss is the one after him. That might make Hurley's flashforward last week make more sense, as Naomi's boss is still trying to find Ben, thus making Ben unlikely to be one of the Oceanic 6.

Lost is still indeed one of the best shows on TV now. Those of you who've given up on the show are missing great stuff.
