What do you make of the survey station at Antarctica that recorded the hatch explosion and then called one of the others (the female interrogating Jack, also related to Desmond) on the phone while she's already on the island?

What the hell!?!?!? I only started watching Lost this summer, borrowed Season 1 on box set from my cousin, then bought season 2 when it came out to get caught up. I fell asleep one night and missed the last 10 minutes of one episode, it must have happened then. No wait, the hatch explosion was the very end of season 2, right? I missed the survey station in Antartica. Which episode was that in? And you're saying Jack's interogator & Desmond are related? Also, if these people have the ability to access the outside world (according to Henry, civilization is a boat trip away) why haven't they gone and gotten some decent medical supplies?

At the end of the last episode of season 2, when Desmond turns the key to blow the hatch up, the scene changes to two guys who are sitting somewhere in the snow, in a container that looks like a research station. They are playing chess when they realise that one of their machines senses something. After checking the report, one of them calls the woman, who later interrogates Jack, on the phone. This woman is related to Desmond, they were supposed to marry iirc but then he went on the world race with his sailing boat. I don't remember correctly but I have the impression that she knew what would happen to Desmond, ie being stuck on the island, and that she works for Dharma and they had it all planned for Desmond, as for the others.
Which brings up the question, since they know everything about the losties, why where they surprised when the plane crashed
About the medical supplies, who says they don't have any decent? For all we know the supposedly dead woman could be revived like the white rabbit. Although I doubt it.
BTW, I checked the numbers as coordinates once in google map and it turns out that four places in Pacific around the date line are plausible locations for the island. I'll post a screenshot later.
The one week breaks are driving me insane. And after episode six there'll be a break for about 2 months.

Of course, of course! The Brazilian guys. And you're right... Desmond went on a date with the therapist and got the money for the boat from her. I completely forgot about all that. Man, this is one damned good show, but you're right, the breaks are TORTURE!!!

You told us to. And frankly, I have to discuss it with somebody. My wife won't watch it.

Don,

here're the four possible locations of the island when you use the magic numbers 4 8 15 16 23 42. One can come up with more coordinate combos but the pacific seems most likely as crash site since they went from Sydney to LA.

Latitude 4.8150 Longitude 162.3420

Latitude 4.8150 Longitude -162.3420


Latitude -4.8150 Longitude 162.3420


Latitude -4.8150 Longitude -162.3420


Will we ever know?
Haven't seen this week's episode yet.

The Others are in a Dharma Project base on one of the small islands that surround the main one. They got there via undersea tunnels.
When the Losties crashed they were living on the East side of the island, hence how Ethan and the other guy were able to get to the crash sites so quick (possibly by tunnels?). They then moved to two camps, one at 'The Door' station (where Sayid goes on the boat) and the new island (a Dharma test facility, note: not a station, theres only 6 of those). The guy Locke etc saw on CCTV is in the Flame Station, the only one the losties havent found yet.

IIRC the location of the island was revealed on a map posted on the Dharma Initiative website, the first pic looks closest to where i remember it.
