I think I'm not liking this season very much... I don't like the surgery storyline, it doesn't make much sense. I initially thought the tumor x-rays were faked, and this was all just some game Ben was playing. But now it turns out that it's real... so are we to believe that this was the best plan Ben could come up with to get Jack to perform surgery? That is *really* hard to swallow. And are we to assume that the plan began with Ben being held hostage by the Losties during last season? Seriously? All this, when all he probably had to do was just ask? That's a bit much. And I still don't understand why Jack and co. are so complacent in all this... you'd think they would realize how much sense this doesn't make.
And most of all, this storyline isn't very "Lost" like... where's the mystery and mystical feel to it all? The surgery storyline isn't making any more sense than the more mystical ones did, but you could forgive the mystical ones because they at least provided a cool atmosphere for the show.
Also, were Kate and Sawyer actually doing anything productive with the breaking of the rocks and stuff? I got the impression it was all just busy work. But now we're to believe they're building something "big?" But they have no idea what it is... hmph.
And the "sub"... is that something that's been referenced to before? I forget.
