I am avail to talk Ben Linus any time
BENRY!!!!!!!!!!
I really, really need to do a rewatch, but yes: Ben Linus is one of my most beloved characters of all time. I remember when he first showed up, calling himself Henry Gale, and then Sayid locked him up and tortured him and they went off and found the body of the real Henry Gale, and when they came back there was Ben, eating breakfast, coolly asking if they had any milk… ICONIC.
Remember when Sawyer called him Gizmo? Because that’s one of my favorite things ever.
I was over the moon when Michael Emerson won an Emmy for playing him because it’s a brilliant performance. I remember I was perpetually scared in the last couple of seasons that they were going to kill him and that would have been the end of the show for me because HE WAS THE SHOW.
He was slimy and manipulative and awful and ten steps ahead of everyone and vulnerable and sad and I LOVED HIM. I still do. I may or may not have participated in a Lost forum with a thread called “Ben Linus is a Babe” or something similar, but I’ll totally deny that.
So yes, I’m always up to talk Benry, though I need a rewatch before I can remember all my favorite little moments (there are tons of them).

During Juliet’s arc on the show LOST we saw her transform from quiet and painfully unsure of herself as a woman whose husband blatantly cheated on her and stole her research to a badass who can take a person down with one arm tied behind her back. She was a hostage on that island but was freed of so much that held her back from believing in herself. In the end, all she wanted was to go home and find happiness, and with James (a man who was so rough he couldn’t even go by his own name and hid behind a completely different persona until he met a woman who accepted him for ALL of his rough edges) she found both.
The fact that the writers (creators) of the show explained her death as happening because ‘there was no more story left to tell’ is both the most blatant lie and the laziest of excuses. In this essay, I
