Well that was something of a disappointment overall. I think we might have just found out part of what Ben was referring to when he told Sayid that his decision to trust "Them" caused people to die. Maybe not, but it seems possible. I think the hatred of Michael may have caused him to make a serious error in judgment. Guess we'll just have to see where things go from here.
The end of the episode was VERY strange, because it suggests that there are yet more people on the island that we don't know about and have never heard anything from before now. Unless the people who shot Rousseau and Karl were Others instructed to kill them by Ben (which I suppose is as possible as anything else), then it's either Losties from Locke's camp (a long shot) or people from the freighter that have been mysteriously not mentioned previously or....I don't really know. On second thought, this may have been the "errand" that Frank was sent to do, though he didn't really come off as the assassin/kidnapper type.
Either way, some weirdness. And now we have to wait a LONG time for new stuff. SIGH!
