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.
