For those of you who are still following Lost (Season 5 has been stellar... absolutely mind-warping episodes), should recognize that Michael Emerson, who plays Benjamin Linus, is a character that gets better with every episode. You can never trust the guy and his acting makes you feel uncomfortable whenever he is on the screen.
Tonight it hit me why this character makes me squirm... he speaks and talks like Gary Bettman, commissioner of the NHL. Gary Bettman is a weasel that has done much damage to our beautiful game of hockey. I am not a violent person, but I think I might want to kick Mr. Bettman. I can't stand it when he starts speaking with his lawyer-ese talk.
Benjamin Linus is much like that. What a character. To think he was supposed to be just a character to be used for season 2 and now has developed into a central figure.
Read Noel Murray's great Lost recap of last night's episode.
That was a great recap post. I don't care what anyone says about believing that Ben is a good guy at heart, and "everything he does, he does for the island"... I think he is a BAD BAD guy (which is OK because I like him that way).
