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 :)
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.
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.
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.

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...
awesome video!!! thank you for uploading. Ben is my favorite character in Lost....he has perfected the art of lying & manipulation... he's evil, but in a very likable way... and sexy. Can't forget that. He beats Sawyer imo.
@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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
Awsome video and great clips. He does look real evil at the end *shivvers* lol. Great song to fitted well with the clips. Great job keep it up. Ben rules ^_^
