No matter what has happened, Ben has always been protective of Alex...I don't think he's trying to off her, but perhaps show her he can get to those closest to her by offing Karl and Rousseau...however, I'm not convinced Rousseau is dead. And I'm also not convinced that it's Ben or his people doing the shooting...Lapidus and the helicopter has been gone for a while...

What made it ok for me was catching us up on Michael and what happened to him between leaving on the boat, and getting on the freighter, and why the freighter has been sitting where it is for so long. I do however think the hallucinations with Libby were a bit far fetched, but it gave insight as to the timeframe of the flashback.

The one thing that should become clear down the line is how those deemed worthy are able to leave the island as they wish, and why they continue to live in the island.
