I've gone for an eight, in my opinion it was so much better than the last fifth of season three. Locke was back on top form again and, thankfully, given both things to do and things to say that didn't just revolve around Ben. The tension acting between Terry and Matthew was done really well and "you're not going to shoot me any more than I was going to shoot you" had me in stitches. I also really enjoyed Jorge's acting here, it shone through like the whole "I'm sorry I forgot the blankets" did.
There was a little bit of mystery, but not much and I think I'm going to get very sick of flash-forwards, very quickly. I still want answers about backstories! (Mainly, how did Sayid get out of Iraq and what was the Tampa Job) but it remained interesting enough for now.
Plus there wasn't very much Juliet and that can only be a good thing!
