Christian DID nicely exposit, so I have NO CLUE where some of this is coming from! Except people WILL BE MORONS on the internet, it's a law! LOL
And yes, ITA that the others who weren't in the church were going in their own time. But I think it was right that Ben didn't go with them. I picture Richard as having gone already I mean, there's no way he'd be sticking around if his wife is waiting for him. Or if he had a Sideways, it had Jacob in it, since Jacob was a far bigger connection/issue to Richard than the losties were, when it comes to the Island.
And no I don't think Miles was there. No freighter folk were in the anteroom. In fact, I think Juliet was the last of the characters introduced that was in the room. Most were original recipe losties, plus Penny But as Mister Exposition *g* put it, they were the people who most profoundly mattered to each other while on the Island.
It's interesting to look at that group and realize that only Kate,Claire, James, Des and Penny died someplace else than the Island -- so OF COURSE it profoundly affected them, it's where they died! So of course, they'd want to experience a life where that didn't happen. only to realize they missed those connections and they were just as happy with the way things had actually happened.
and oh yes, I keep writing comments I should just put in a post. Since I'm blathering. :)
