I need the flashbacks back

First time watcher, just started season 4 a few hours ago, why are we getting all of these spoilers instead of flashbacks.

i'm not saying that i'm not enjoying them more than the flashbacks, but now we know who survives and who won't?? not being scared anymore that someone is gonna shoot ben (after we saw sayid working for him) or that any of them is at the danger of death?

i'm only 4 episodes in but i'm hoping the events in the future episodes or seasons will make me rethink all of these things
