I just looked and Richard Thornburg was the characters name in Die Hard. The actor is William Atherton. I would have bet money that was him in the last episode.

I presume that dunking him in the Temple water caused him to turn, just as it did Sayid. |

Changed your mind about the island making Ben a bad person? Im not trying to be a dick.. and i see what you are saying about the Temple water changing him.. that makes much more sense than just the island changing him to bad |

Well technically, it IS the Island that changes him, I was just more specific in the follow up post.

And it's funny how all of the losties are "better" people on the alt storyline. Without the island they all manage (so far) to find "purpose." For the current losties they only find purpose after loss (Locke, Ben, Jack, Sawyer, Fatty, Jin) or not at all (again Sawyer, Sayid, Claire, Kate, the pilot, Sun, etc.) The island does not seem to be a place as much as a catalyst...

I was thinking the pool is what healed a person. And because the water was dirty, the pool had lost it's power. Sayid wasn't healed. He died. And the darkness claimed him and brought him back to life.
With Ben, I imagined that the water in the pool was clear. It worked. He was healed, and therefore not claimed. The choices he made were all his own and independent of the healing pool. It was his father's neglect, his guilt about his mother, and his need to belong that lead him to become the power hungry manipulator we've seen. The healing pool took away his innocence only by revealing the power of the island to him at a very young age; before he was ready to understand or handle it. I think the idea that it is the pool itself - independent of the clarity of the water - that "claims" someone is a really interesting idea. And I hadn't looked at it that way before. |

Does it bother anyone else that every other episode seems to be about one group of people? Example. One episode is about FLOCKE and the people he is recruiting then the next episode is about everyone else that is not involved with FLOCKE.
It doesn’t bother me to the point that I don’t like it, but I wish they would touch base with both groups in every episode. |
