i agree.
i think the latter half is gonna be good though. lol. everybody will say shit like that all the time, but i really think the last five episodes are gonna rock. have you seen the promo for next week? "welcome to the war, John"
seriously, this is hands down the best promo this season:

watching ben and locke "working together" whatever they are doing was nice. here's hoping that the others and the losties become one against the freighter folk.
the episode did raise a few interesting questions:
- for a long time, people thought the temple had something to do with the four-toed statue. ben's map indicates that the temple is a dharma station and a refuge. it was probably a refuge for the original dharma employees too, but it's probably not a temple in the sense we thought. either way, i'm interested to see what the others have been up to, and it seems they are trying to move the others back into the storyline now.
- did ben know what was gonna happen when he sent danielle, alex and karl to the others' hideout? he knew about the freighter, he knew who the people on it were, he was able to deliver an order to juliette, so presumably he knows about the snipers if they are from the freighter (doubt the others are this pro)?
- situation now: widmore hired a group to secure ben and kill all others. ben is hated by all the losties. sayid and desmond is on the freighter. the freighter people have alex.
future situation: what's gonna happen to alex? desmond doesn't make it back to the world, so is he killed, or is he still on the island? if sayid makes it off, why not desmond? is the freighter a part of them getting off the island at all, or do the oceanic six find another way? how does sayid go from being on the freighter, to being back in the real world killing for ben whom he hates? also, friendly being in n.y. must have been after jack was brought to the barracks and after sawyer and kate escaped. meaning after the purple lighting that supposedly knocked out the transmitter that made it possible to find the island again. shit, it could even be after the sub was blown to bits. so how do the others get off?

the guy who plays karl did an interview after he got killed in episode 8, where he said that there was a scene shot not shown in the episode where you could see the snipers in jungle camo suits. a rumored report mentions the dharma barracks being stormed by a BUNCH of military soldiers. i'm not sure what's up with that, but i bet it has something to do with lapidus' delivery. now with the new promo, i think lost is gonna get pretty epic in the latter half of the season.
