I have to hand it to him, that guy is a tour de force of acting. He really deserves an Emmy for his work. Not many people on tv are so compelling. When he
first came on the show, I wasn't sure how watchable he was, but the dude has really won me over. He does manipulative SO WELL.

He was so good, so complicated, so wicked, that for a few moments, I almost started to think he was hot.

Yep, the show really made a wise choice in making him a series regular. |

His timing of line delivery is great.. Last night was one of his best I thought.. When Ben and Locke were in the elevator Locke says something like "how
far down does this go"? Ben......deep...

I also loved his line when he was talking about Jack hoping the planes crash: "That's dark, Jack."
I lol'ed. |

It was funny. But he said it with sympathy to me, like he actually felt sorry for Jack. That whole conversation was interesting to me because Ben talked to
him as if they were equals. There was no sense of manipulation that Ben usually has, or superiority either. It was a different dynamic.

I'd still support him and want to help, etc. Ben definitely seems to be less "untouchable" in the future.

That "are you f-ing retarded?" look he gave when Locke asked about the magic box was priceless.

talking to a child, which is probably pretty much what it is like
