5x12 Dead is Dead - massive insight on rewatch!

I was rewatching some episodes following TheLexiCrowd’s reactions, and something in Season 5 Episode 12 finally clicked for me.

In this episode we see more of Ben’s past on the island and his conflict with Widmore. It all starts when Ben kidnaps baby Alex under Widmore/Jacob’s orders. Widmore insists Alex should be killed, but Ben refuses.

I always read that moment simply as “Widmore wanted her dead, Jacob didn’t.” I never thought Alex’s death had any major significance for the larger mythology. But, considering the ending of the episode — and what we learn in Season 6 — it suddenly makes perfect sense.

From a purely technical, amoral point of view, Alex should have been killed.

Here’s why:
The Smoke Monster (in Locke’s form) later uses Alex’s image to manipulate Ben in the underground temple. “You will follow Locke’s orders and do everything he says.”
MiB exploits Ben’s love for Alex and the guilt he carries about letting her die. Those emotions are the lever he needed for his loophole — the chain of events that leads Ben to kill Jacob.

So the fact that Ben raised Alex as his daughter… and then became responsible for her death… wasn’t random tragedy. It created the perfect weakness MiB needed to break the rules, kill Jacob, and nearly destroy the world.

This show fucking rules!!

OMG THIS SHOW IS CRAZY

I'm only on season 2 episode 20 but I feel like I'm going crazy. This is the first time in such a long time that I'm watching a show and I actually don't know what's going to happen and I can't predict it. There's so many interesting storylines and things keep getting intertwined!!! I just hope it doesn't disappoint me later!!

If John Locke was a real person, Would you go Hunting with Him?

I find this scene to be so aesthetically pleasing for some reason-
