Daniel Faraday's name is based on Michael Faraday who was a famous physicist. This is interesting because Michael Faraday discovered a relationship between light rays and electromagnetism and Daniel mentions the scattered light on the island.

Goofs:

Plot holes: When Ben is trying to save himself from Locke, he recites Charlotte's bio, including her date of birth. He says 1979 was the year she was born. However, in the Season 5 episode "Lafleur" we see a young Charlotte in the Dharma Barracks in 1974.

Quotes:

Frank Lapidus: What did you say your name was again?
Juliet Burke: Juliet.
Frank Lapidus: Juliet? Juliet what?
Juliet Burke: Juliet Burke.
Frank Lapidus: Juliet Burke? You weren't on that plane were you?
[nods to himself]
Frank Lapidus: MILES!
Miles: Yeah?
Frank Lapidus: This is Juliet Burke. And she was not on that plane!
Miles: What? Are you sure?

The "Rescue Team"

Jack and Kate meet the physician Daniel Farady first and then the psychics Miles Straume and they demonstrate that have not come to the island with the intention of rescuing the survivors. Locke and his group find the anthropologist Charlotte Staples Lewis, and Ben Linus shoots her. Meanwhile, the group of Jack finds the pilot Frank Lapidus, who landed the helicopter with minor damages that can be repaired. Jack forces Miles to tell the real intention why they have come to the island.

The second episode of the Fourth Season returns to the island, with four new characters, stops the confusing "flash-forwards" and it seems that will finally be the beginning of the explanations that I (and most of the fans and viewers) expect to be provided in "Lost". Why the interest of the government in Ben Linus, and how he is informed from the boat are some of the questions that I expect to see in the next episodes. My vote is eight.
