With Lost ’s season finale airing next Wednesday , Ben in a position he ’s never been in before : the underdog . sure as shooting Ben has some tricks up his arm ? We askedMichael Emersonwhat to await . With spoiler !
We ’ve never learn Ben so lose and confused as in the most recent episode . Are we seeing the end of the Ben who ’s always three steps ahead of everyone else ?
Yeah , I inquire . He ’s for sure off his game . [ But ] he ’s still throw together . The steering wheel are still turn . He ’s looking for breaks . He ’s look for glimmers of chance . His flavor is low becuase of recent event , because of confrontations with demons from his past , both real and metaphorical . So I do n’t know . My guess is , he ca n’t be kept down forever .
Because that ’s what Ben does . He rebound back every single meter .
He ’s never so vulnerable to handling as he is now . That ’s the thing that i ’m a slight implicated about . My guess is , he ca n’t be keep down everlastingly .
I ’ve been re - watching some of seasons three and four , and Ben is always battered and bruised .
I would venture to say he ’s the most beaten role in the chronicle of television .
It must mean tons of time in the make-up chair .
Yes .
Are we witnessing the slow - movement calvary of Ben ? Is Ben a martyr to the island ?
That ’s interesting . I call back Ben is a great diseased person , and I ’m not sure if he does n’t sort of embrace his beatings . I do n’t know if it ’s a question of atonement , as you might be suggesting . But it sure is a adept psychological information - gathering dick . I do find like it happen to him too often to be just inadvertent .
He puts himself in the way of it .
I guess he puts himself in the fashion of it , because in the exchange , he always gains something .
Well , except perchance with Penny and Desmond . He did get wind that Penny had a baby , I guess .
Yeah , hold onto that . Because it was the child that break up that event .
So as you observe , Ben has faced his demon from the past tense now . Is he heading for some form of salvation at the conclusion of the serial publication ? Is it run to be like Darth Vader in Return Of The Jedi ?
I never call up about a model like that . I do n’t screw if he needs that much redemption , but yeah . I wonder . That ’s a good point in time . And because the termination of the [ season ] finale so upsets the landscape painting of the show , I intend that almost anything young and strange is potential for next season .
What else can you secernate us about the finale ?
It ’s been set up now . We see that we have two company of zep . Both of them are on sort of do-or-die missions to uncharted , possibly cataclysmic dominion , and if they both come after in whatever their missions work out to be , I conceive the result is so dramatically cataclysmic , that it ’s going to leave us with a duo of reaction . One is , “ Can they do that ? ” And the 2nd one is , “ Then what is the show next time of year ? ” I stand for , that ’s what I thought when I put down the book .
Wow . So I sense like Ben has been the voice of some of the more ghostlike explanations for events on the show , while Faraday gave the scientific account . Now that Faraday is dead , will the spiritual be in ascendance ?
I think the show still runs on scientific discipline , but … Boy , that ’s a in force question . What is ascendant now ? I mean ultimately feeling will be ascendant even in a world that runs on scientific principle .
