Why do all the men I love lie and do murder?!?

I always stood up for you, Ben Linus.
Don't you make a fool of me.
I'm reserving judgment for now...but I'm very disturbed and disappointed.


In other news, Safari 4 Beta is pretty neat.


I'm also finally working on my "people being eaten" story.
Details may follow, or I may keep it to myself. ;-]

After one of your previous Lost comments (either here or Facebook....can't remember which) about Ben being the good guy, I kept posing that possibility to David, and he refused to think that Ben is the good guy.

The Fairytale Girl inside of me wants to believe that everyone has a good guy side to them, so I'm holding onto that possibility with you, however this week surely doesn't make it a strong possibility.

It's a tough call, because I do believe Ben tells the truth sometimes. He and Widmore seem uniformly ruthless, which means that it all comes down to the end justifying the means. Since we don't know what that entails yet, there's no way to know. And we probably won't find out until season 6...

...bastards!

Is next year supposed to be the last season?

Yes.

I don't think there is any going back from this one. Its not that he needed to get John to do the noble thing, since he was already doing it. Ben just wanted the info because of his jealousy. He knows Locke is the one destined to lead the others, and he doesn't want to give that up.

I'm not saying Ben isn't petty. His behavior with Juliet demonstrated that clearly. But I think he also knows John would live again once he reached the island.

Yes, but he manipulated and then murdered John just so he could get some info before he was dead

Is it still murder if you know they're coming back?

But he jumped him from behind! AFTER he deceived him.

I agree, it certainly looks bad for him.
I'm sure that he is very jealous of John. I just think there's more to know. It's too easy to set him up as being so terrible and then have him turn out to be terrible. It's like Snape, it has to be different than what you've thought all along.

That would definitely be cool. I thought they were going out of town this weekend when I private messaged them (Nate), but when he said that it sounded up in the air. Let's see . . . Saturday will work perfectly b/c I'm spending that early afternoon with Dale and Kristi and Laura may come by (this java jungle thing). That evening (yo uall seem to be evening people), I can find some way to come over. I do have Anthony but we'll figure it out some way. Or, if you're talking about nate and Kim's that'll still work so long as I check out of the hotel at 11 a.m. Sunday :-)

Yay!!!!!!!

Yeah, Kim and Nate changed their trip to next weekend so we could see you.

Just give me a call on Saturday and we'll figure something out.
