No, Daniel never got the flashbacks or anything, while Ben did. Ben knows where to go when he's ready - he just wasn't ready yet. Richard, and others I imagine, will all move on when they feel the time is right. Daniel and Charlotte, for example - you know something is going to happen there, and when it does, I'm sure they'll move on someday, too. I think Desmond knew he didn't need to do anything there. For the most part, I guess I think Desmond took the people he wanted to go, not so much the people that Jack or anyone else wanted to go.

What I possibly loved about this episode more than anything is Hurley & Ben being "#1 and #2". That was just... kind of perfect, actually. I couldn't have scripted that scene better. Fantastic. It's about time that Ben got to have some kind of special status on the island and it's also a great idea to have Hurley be the "future #1" and for him to change the rules and make it about what's right rather than what's "sacred" or whatever.

I do wonder, though, what happened to the island in the distant future. Maybe there will be a sequel series with all-new characters! *runs*
