"Who Was I?" LOST and 'kin

[overlord_mordax]

Ben is my favorite character on LOST but I never felt more connected to him than at this moment in that penultimate episode. Mild mannered school-teacher Ben has just received a jolt of the memories of his past self/alternate life, and is left reeling, trying to make sense of it. He saw a different man- who he'd be in different circumstances; who he HAD been; darker- cunning ruthless; and is trying to reconcile it with himself. Trying to decide what it means if he believes it. He looks at his face in the mirror, trying to see himself in it.

I've been there.

It's a really haunting vision, Ben in the mirror, isn't it? I felt like, Do any of us really recognize him in the mirror, let alone does HE recognize himself? Very powerful.

I am eager to see what the finale brings. Then we're gonna have to watch the whole show over. lol.

Interesting that you have always felt connected to Ben. He's a very interesting character.
