What do you get when you mix some deranged, brilliant, tent-living SOB mixed with daddy issues? Benjamin Linus. Even though this seems to be the guy everyone loves to hate I have to say I love this dork. He knows what he wants out of this life and isn’t afraid to grab it. He knows exactly what others want and how to give it to them while helping himself the entire time.
I thought the scene with him being judged by the island truly showed his character. He knew exactly why he made his choices and was willing to live with the outcome. Even if he knew the outcome would have been bad I don’t think he would have changed his mind.
He knows with certainty what he wants. I’m not sure what Locke will do with this guy. Still dangerous, but man I wish I had the gusto this guy does.
