[Dahgrostabphri]

Ben was never evil. But you get a pass because this was posted in '08 and you couldn't have known that yet

[champagnedsupernova]

you see the scary sides of Benjamin :) I remember lots of things when I watch your video about Ben. But I dont know why I remember his funny sides =)

[VarianAlastair]

Ben... certainly one of the most compelling characters in the series. Great vid, LOVE the music.

[xXMrTransistorXx]

He's a nice man, I'm dinner with him tonight, no lie i will have a pic to prove it as well

[Cooky513]

My fav vid for my fav character! i <3 ben linus!

[YoulineBlackLoveMJ]

He's so cool ♥ ^^

[timen1986]

it sucked to see Ben go from the all planning genius, to the scared helpless little boy who just wanted to be acknowledged ... Lost was great, just fucking great :)

[jamesbondaygee]

He was a funny little character!!

[StefiBuco]

I remember when he first appeared on the show, I didn't trust him. And when he turned out to be a "bad guy", I really hated his guts. I couldn't stand him.

But suddenly, one day, it all turned around, I don't even remember how. But now he's one of my favourite charachters. He's just human after all, but way better.

[TheBestRoger]

great video :D

[notrwhitecrow]

thing is he wasnt evil. i was constantly expecting an 'evil genius' turnaround up until the final series, where ben would emerge the puppet master. but i guess thats not what lost is about. a shame though, considering how much they invested in cultivating this complex mysterious character.

[namairu]

Benjamin, the puppet master<3

[The1Annchen]

what's the name of the music?

[Dhor3hell]

thumbs up if u agree;D

[timen1986]

@Dhor3hell

Charlie on 2? No way :D Where the fuck is Locke in your top 5 ?

[Dhor3hell]

@timen1986 locke is some kind of annoying in the end

[timen1986]

@Dhor3hell

maybe that is because locke isn't really locke anymore in the end :)

[L3w157]

@Dhor3hell my top 5

1-John Locke

2-Benjamin Linus

3-Sayid Jurah

4-'Hurley'

5-'Sawyer'

[slopolzy]

While this is a fantastic video, i think it is key to have all his sides. The show built up this heartless deceiving villain, but as soon as alex is shot, He's humanized for the first time since he was Henry Gale. From there on out, you get glimpses of Ben the father, Ben the Teacher. And at the very end of the show, where he waits outside the church, neither damned nor saved, Ben has finally come to peace and wants nothing anymore. one of the best characters on TV in along long time.

[Elvinauk]

@slopolzy Really great summary of Ben, he really is a unique character in so many ways.

[Devilninja16]

Bit*h. Bit*h. Bit*h. Lol! So funny

Id wish he'd say 'Your Mine!' to me.

I love Ben Linus!

[xxxpolyxena]

At the moment I'm watching season 4... But I still don't know if Ben is a good or an evil! I'm so curious, how its going on!!!

[miavaso]

Because really, what could be more fascinating then the many faces of Benjamin Linus?

[cycmpdf]

WTF?! How did he not win the emmy's this year, there has never been an actor as good as Michael Emerson! Really! People have NO taste in actors anymore...

[xxPonylover09xx]

@cycmpdf Aaron Paul was pretty good, but NOBODY could ever compare to Michael Emerson :)

[CaptainEmmaNoble]

Where is this music from! Awesome video! The music is perfect for it! Ben is just one heck of a bad guy!

[Gudinnahel]

Ben <3 my favorite chara for sure :D

[pibbby]

what song is this?

[Elvinauk]

@pibbby Globus - Preliator

[ExodusDax]

What is the music accompanying this--it's really good.

[Elvinauk]

[novarock86]

When Lost ends... it's Benjamin Linus that I will always remember. Ben, you charming genius, you loveable fiend, I shall miss you.

Michael Emerson was a godsend to this show. What an actor... I truly hope the best is yet to come for him.

[Potellio]

He's my third favorite character.

[Clavillable]

He's soooooooooooooooooo cool!!!!!!!! <3<3<3<333<3<3<3<3<3<3

[RiceBowlBunny]

Benjamin Linus is no doubt my favorite character on LOST. =D

He's so evil... x.x

[koreanstyler]

Another Ben has appeared now: Ben, the decieved.

[Question150]

he's a little Hannibal Lecter xD

[mejorqueelprozac]

The music is Immediate´s Music "Lacrimosa", and I think it´s used in Spiderman´s OST...

But I really prefer this version, sang by a girl. I´d like to know her name, because I cannot find this version anywhere... :`-(

[ImalegendZA]

lol xD the evil one...

[Veritas48]

One of the best villains ever written.

[MrLamaj123]

@Veritas48 I don't consider him a villain though, because almost everything he did was for the Island, which he considered (correctly) that it was more important than human lives.

[Leni135]

Hello !

Can someone please tell me where the

music is from ?

Thanks.

[Krivcsa]

I think its called Lacrimosa.

[BENLINUZ]

Ben is awesome

[guldynka]

lol

[EricKeem]

Well made man =D but just a thought though, what if Ben is the good side and Charles Witmore is the bad side??o.O I know John is on the good side for sho

[bjondji]

@ EricKeem: i think thats the charm of lost... not knowing ;) and John is just LOST... but he's dead now... RIP :'(

[SirKathid]

My fav actor and char

[nannyannoyed]

Michael Emerson is GOD!

the greatest actor ever!

[AnT1kz]

greatest actor ever?

iunno bout that one

lmao

[LoveNeverFails1]

Maybe not the "greatest ever" but he is very good. Ben's character is awesome and as pathetic as he can be at times he is someties sorta hot...or maybe just very cool in a bad way.

[ofwrathandruin]

wow, this was really well put together. Excellent choice of music too.. it really conveys the epic feel of the show ;)

[schooliej]

Don't trust Ben (unless you have too)

[Leni135]

Forgotten something.. ;o)

Can you tell me wich song this is ?

Absolutely love Ben at 1:40

[Leni135]

Great video.

First I feared and hated Ben,

then I began to admire him for his very intellegent phsyco-games. Now at season 4 I began to

understand him and to see, that there are more evil people coming to the island. Maybe Ben was right wen he said, that he and "the others" are the good guys.

and suddenly I realised that I began to love him somehow..allthough I don't understand why ;o)

To me Ben ist the most powerful character at lost now.

Greetings from Germany.

[mastersparta123]

amezing

ben is a good guy, jack is a realy bad guy

[schooliej]

really

[Cycune]

Love the smile at the end =D

[mrLeft1t]

welcome back to the land of the living

[charliiebabiie]

Some people look to Ben as the villian cause he's always chnaging paths, lookign like hes the bad guy when he's just listening to Jacob telling him what to do next, just like Locke. Their actually qute similar no one relaly listened to them and they just looked to both of them as crazy nuts but people died cause they didn't listen.

[kali972]

wow the way u made the video makes me believe Ben controls the smoke monster!!lol

[deadpool981]

its kind of funny, Michael Emerson's role in lost wasn't to be all that important at first, he was just supposed to be a low level member of the others. But his acting was so impressive that he now has one of the most important roles on the show.

[theoneguyoverthere]

According to the creators of Lost, there was supposed to be an ultimate villain character named Ben, it just wasn't supposed to be this actor. But it's really a testament of how good an actor Michael Emerson is that he was able to surpass their expectations and become one of the main characters in the show.

[42FleshFailures]

I agree -- Ben isn't a villian.

[deadpool981]

you can't be sure about that, Charles Widmore might be Evil, but that doesn't mean that BEn Linus is a good guy. It could simply be a power struggle between to evils, not a battle between good and evil. As far as i'm concerned, neither Ben or Widmore have given much reason to trust them. Ben may at times seem to be sympathetic and helpful to the survivors, but he always has his own agenda, mainly for power. Even Christian who was speaking on behalf of Jacob told locke not to listen to Ben.

[kali972]

If we could favorite comments, I would favorite yours.Very well said, n I totally agree!

[theoneguyoverthere]

Personally, the very concept of good and evil is being questioned here, in my opinion. Is what Ben wants good, despite the evil he practices to achieve his ends? Or has he compromised his good intentions to further his own cause? Does he even know what he's after? J.J. Abrams specializes in this kind of character, an antagonist who dances between villain and anti-hero. Regardless of where the character ultimately ends up, he's very careful to point out the thin line between good and evil.

[cocaineuk87]

JJ Abrams doesnt have anything do with lost anymore, he created the concept and that was about it.

Its Lindelof and Cuse who responsible with coming up with Ben.

[Eidur12]

Ben is not evil

[lionhearted76]

I guess we will find out. But everything he does, he does it at his own angle, to benefit himself.

[violetkimono]

Incredible video for the best villain in television history.

[CylonAlyna]

The song is Immediate Music - Lacrimosa.

[attacking911]

Ben is a genius i wanna kill him and keep him in my house i love him...by the way which episode was that when ben and wademore were talking?

[Farbekatze6818]

The Shape of Things to Come - Fourth Season

[WisePillow]

Great vid! And the music was perfect!

[Honorsmin]

Best music/character match ever. I love how you used every part of Ben. Except his intense flashforwards... but I know you didn't have all of those when you made this. I wonder what face they would produce?

[XrayhatchSteph]

Fantastic video.

Ben L. is the most special breathtaking actor on LOST !

[rorydog1]

@XrayhatchSteph I agree. Brilliant.
