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.

They pretty much do.

I think that Michael is the only variable not touched on in this season so far.

You don't build up a character that much and not explain/kill him of...

There's only 40 minutes each week in which to tell this story. They have 17 hours this in which to complete the series.

It would be very poor narrative form if they constantly "checked-in" on other characters while revealing a specific character's arc.

You're just impatient.

There are a lot of different "camps" or storylines happening in this season. I think at one point we had The Temple Others, Jack & Hurley, Kate, Sawyer, Jin & Claire, Ilan & Co., and Richard all off in different directions. Plus the alt timeline... but I think we're at the point where all the stories are starting to gel. I think we'll see more of a balance of each camp as we roll along.

I would guess it also plays into the Roma/Minerva mythology.

I'm not familiar w/ Roma/Minerva... I'll have to check out that mythology. Any suggestions on good sites to start researching?

Dude, the entire series has been like this where they focus on one particular character's arc, with other island happenings interspersed.

They're following the same exact formula they've used from day one.

It's not a movie, it's television serial.

The answers you seek will be revealed by the end of the series.

Patience, young padawan.

I presume that dunking him in the Temple water caused him to turn, just as it did Sayid.
I don't think Ben was ever intrinsically evil or that the procedure had anything to do with it. He had been 'turned' evil by a fundamental misunderstanding of his role in life. He'd been given a calling and was told it was important, and his belief in that calling led him to a hardened heart and ruthless manner. Upon learning of Jacob's disappointment in him and in the wake of Alex's death, he's beginning to learn that if he's true to his better nature, his calling will realize itself.

Not off hand.

But if you can find the story of her and Arachne it would seem relevant.

He became what every opportunity on the island allowed him to be.

The island is what allowed him to be him, without constraint, the person he really was.

It's very simple.

The premise is "If I ripped you away from all civilization, everything you know, or want, or fear, who would you be then?..."

The answer is all you would be left with is YOU...

Judging by the previews, I'm sure we'll find out what's up with Sawyer next week.
