Lost Season 3 Deleted Scene (The Man Behind the Courtain)

[polarbearhero]

If this episode had run short this scene would make good padding but as it was there was no room for it. Despite great acting it adds nothing the audience needs to know, does not move the plot forward & even slows the pacing down. It does give us some insight into Ben's motive's in taking/saving Alex. He believed Danielle to be crazy & he was right. The first time Alex got a rash (like Aaron's) Danielle would have killed her. This scene also foreshadows Ben's abusive childhood at Roger's hand.

i haven't watched series 5 yet, so i don't know what happens, but I am glad that this scene didn't make it, because it is a little too deep for what the rest of the story about Alex, Danielle and Ben has been so far, if that makes sense.

i love when ben

is bein smart and

sarcastic. with

his voice its so funny

[ZachsMind]

It's show versus tell. We didn't need to see Locke & Ben be this catty. We already sense it. The actors are both so good all the time, this scene became unnecessary.

Also, the setting was wholly unremarkable, the camera angles uninteresting, and the scene brings the story to a screeching halt. Pacing is a big thing for Lost.

Still, great performances from both of them, even tho the dialog is a little heavy-handed and revealing. Definitely NOT cut due to acting.

goood scene

[Juhsayngul]

Probably a good idea to delete this scene back during season 4 but if we watched it with what we know now, how Ben actually did kidnap Alex, we can interpret every little thing he says here. He only took Alex to protect her... It gets pretty deep.

Ben calls Rouseau a lunatic but hello he is quite the lunatic himself!

[Shutter2fly]

NO WAY!!!!

[HolidayTunes]

"Imagine how much happier your childhood would've been if you'd never known who your parents were." Dude. That's going in my facebook quotes. XD

[MoniqueIrving]

Ben is so misguided -or is he? Its a big clue to the show Kate Sawyer Jack Sun Jin Claire Charlotte Locke Hurley Walt even Anna Lucia didnt always get on with her Mum! A v.strange theory??

[XtremeCold]

WTF, WHY WAS THIS DELETED? O_o

[Ravie3]

They probably needed more time, and this scene doesn't reveal anything that you couldn't infer.

[XtremeCold]

to me it reveals alot. They thing lock says to ben is intressting, and gives a really good reason why he raised her.

But I believe ben is a lier, he always make up good reasons ;)

[pasenviedetrouver]

Sorry I am French but I don't understand what they say. please said me please please please !

[gooseman19871987]

sounds a lot like the white mans justification

[peatymasta]

cool tihs video is 1:08! ^_^

[simpleton7]

I love how Ben turns that around. Everything around really. Must be pretty hard to write for.

[mormonhippie]

WHY isn't this in the show???????????????????

[Juliafireflower]

it must be in show

[AbraFilo]

that scene so deserved the cut they should have cut some of Jacks time and put this in.

[luvarooneylover]

hahahah! the timing is 1:08 and like, the man behind the curtain is like THE BEST EPISODE!

[RealBritneySpears]

WOW that's a good scene wished they didn't have cut it.

[heartsandminds13]

He should have said "life" instead of "childhood." When he was young, John still didn't know who his parents were o.o;

[erikmartin2]

Yeah, that seemed weird. Wish this scene had been included though.

[Prowsky]

I guess this is the reason the deleted it. They made a writing mistake, filmed the scene and realized the mistake afterwards and cut it. Because otherwise, this is a great scene.

[siwooot]

oo bens good at getting in peoples heads

[ApplesontheEdge]

This scene seems really important to the plot. I guess they didn't want Ben to come off as the "good guy" just yet.

[siwooot]

has season 4 started in the u.s.a yet

[ApplesontheEdge]

Nope.

[RDawg5555]

This is a deleted scene that certainly should have made it.

[linus108Nicole]

great scene! yup, it should have stayed in.

[uwdaveh]

wow this one rocks...it ties with the FBs really well too

[melissaq9]

Wish that would have stayed!

[silenovic]

good one!

[doctordoom85]

Out of all the deleted scenes, this one definitely should have stayed in.
