4x02 - "Confirmed Dead" Flashbacks

I don't see a fair deal in sight any time soon.

Note: This is actually five flashbacks, each one centering around one of the newcomers to the Island (I call them "Outsiders."). They all take place around the time of the discovery of the wreckage of Oceanic Flight 815.

Daniel Faraday - Physicist

1. Daniel was in Essex, Massachusetts at the time the news broke.

2. The underwater footage is an alternate take of the FIND815.com game. The game basically ended with this underwater discovery of Flight 815.

3. Why is Daniel so upset about the news? What does it have to do with him?

Miles Straume - Shaman?

1. Miles was in Inglewood, California at the time the news broke.

2. The news report on Miles' radio says that "a salvage mission is unlikely." Why is that?

3. Who is the murdered grandson? The camera lingers on his photograph on the bottom of the staircase twice during this scene.

4. What is the contraption that Miles is using?

5. Why doesn't Miles tell the grandmother about the roll of cash and the drugs?

Charlotte Lewis - Anthropologist

1. Charlotte was in Medenine, Tunisia at the time the news broke. She doesn't believe the report.

2. What is a polar bear doing in Tunisia? WHAT IS A POLAR FROM THE DHARMA HYDRA STATION DOING IN TUNISIA FOR THAT MATTER?

Frank Lapidus - Pilot, formerly in the employ of Oceanic Airlines

1. Frank was in Eluthera in the Bahamas when the news broke.

2. Is Seth Norris really the pilot? It seems to me that he doesn't look anything like Greg Grunberg, the actor who actually played the pilot way back in season one.

3. The news report says that "recovering the bodies will be next to impossible."

4. If that's not Seth Norris, then does that mean there's a plane full of 324 innocent people who's lives were sacrificed to fake a plane crash?

5. Frank was supposed to be the pilot of 815? Why wasn't he there?

Naomi

1. Why pick a bunch of people with no military training for an extraction mission?

2. Matthew Abbadon is definitely not a lawyer for Oceanic 815.

3. Why is Matthew saying that "there were no survivors of Oceanic 815?" Is that an implied "kill them all" order?

4. If Ben has a man in Naomi's group, then it could explain why they knew the plane crashed on the Island. Ben's spy got caught, and he gave up everything he knew under duress. It explains why Ben knew they were coming for him, and how they knew about the plane AND Desmond.
