Lost - Benjamin Linus' Baton (from The Shape of Things to Come)

One of my favorite clips from J.J. Abrams' TV series Lost.

A disoriented Benjamin Linus wakes up on the ground in the middle of the Sahara Desert wearing a parka with a DHARMA logo and the name Halliwax on it. His right arm has a deep wound on it and there appears to be steam evaporating off him. He vomit, and two armed Bedouins on horseback approach. One of the Bedouins (speaking Arabic) points out how Ben does not have a trail. The other replies, "Where did this [guy] come from? Down from the sky?" Ben asks them if they speak English, and when he gets no reply, he asks them if they speak Arabic, and then Turkish, but they still do not speak with him. As one searches him he feels something hard in Ben's pocket. Ben pulls out a metal cylinder, which is a telescopic baton. He spins around, beats the Bedouin who was searching him, takes his gun and shoots the other. The beaten one says, "Surrender", and Ben says, "So you do speak English." He then hits him with the rifle butt. Ben ties off his arm wound and rides off on one of their horses.

...and that is why Benjamin Linus is AWESOME!! :D

Miss this show soooooo much...nothing good to watch anymore :(

[hckrwolf]

@jackjack6000 I agree. I've watched the whole series twice since it ended (unfortunately I didn't discover it until after the finale was aired), the last time was with my girlfriend. We're gonna start watching it again after we finish Battlestar Galactica.

I just watched this clip again for the first time in months - damn, I miss Lost.

I bought a baton because of this scene.

[hckrwolf]

@moiUnenlagia so did i!

[zeppelinman1685]

@moiUnenlagia Can you recommend one? I've been searching but not sure which to get.

[hckrwolf]

@zeppelinman1685 check out the brand ASP and Monadnock's "Autolock" batons.

Unfortunately the cheaper ones are pieces of crap and won't work when you need them - I learned that the hard way. Invest a little more money for better quality - it's worth it.

I must buy one of those batons 0.0.

Back in season 2 I thought they were gonna kill Ben off. Glad they didn't now. He's a unique character. >.<
