Lost: Through The Looking Glass - David’s Top Five of Awesomeness
Posted by David L. Williams Categories: Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, ABC, Lost, Features
Wow! Just … wow! A few days later and my mind, she is still blown. That was everything a season finale should be: great acting, terrific twists, the wrapping up of plot threads that were developing throughout the season, and the introduction of ideas that will surely carry through the rest of next season, if not the rest of the series.
If you’ve remained a loyal Lost fan, and, really, if you’re reading this, chances are that you have, think on your friends who have given up on the show and pity them. You are the smart one. And you, like the show, are awesome. Here’s five examples of awesomeness from an episode many people are calling Lost’s best ever (and I’d have a hard time disagreeing):
BEN GETS BEATEN: A lot. Like a lot, a lot. Now, we’ve seen Ben get hurt before, but that was back before we knew who he really was. He was just poor pathetic Henry Gayle then. Since we’ve seen a season’s worse of his machinations, when Jack just started wailing on him, I yelled an obscenity at my TV followed by the word, “Yeah!” (This was a nice parallel to last season’s finale when Ben showed up on the dock while Jack, Kate, Hurley, and Sawyer were being held hostage and I yelled that same obscenity followed by the word, “No!”)
Michael Emerson has put on an acting clinic this whole season, going from confident in his power but frightened about his injury to this scared, desperate animal trying to do everything he can to hold onto the little power he has left. He’s one of the best villains on television, and to see him take a beating (by Jack and Rousseau) was so, so satisfying.
Too bad it looks like, for once, he may have been telling the truth. But more on that later. Ben getting beaten up was awesome.
