I wanna play Ben Linus as a D&D character.
I'm thinking bard or druid. Do you think that fits his character?

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!!

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

First time watcher. I'm loving season 4 so far.
Hey everyone,
I just finished watching Episodes 1–9 of Season 4, and I feel like my emotions have been through a blender. This season is intense, and I honestly can’t stop thinking about all the new twists and characters.
4x1-
Starting with Naomi’s death hit hard. That satellite phone call and her last words were surprisingly emotional—I didn’t expect to feel so bad for someone we barely met. The scene with Hurley discovering Jacob’s cabin was so eerie.
And then seeing Locke appear out of nowhere… this show really knows how to make me second-guess what’s real. Also, Desmond delivering Charlie’s message was heartbreaking, and Jack’s confrontation with Locke had me on the edge of my seat.
4x2 –
The freighter crew’s backstories were fascinating, especially Daniel’s reaction to the news of Flight 815. Miles, Charlotte, and Frank are instantly intriguing, and I love how each flashback adds depth without slowing the story.
The tension between Jack’s group and Locke’s faction is really ramping up, and I can’t decide who to trust. But, I do not trust the new characters at all and I feel like near the finale they're really going to backstab the survivors.
4x3-
The deal-making and negotiating in this episode was so tense. Sayid trying to retrieve Charlotte without bloodshed made me admire him even more, and the time differences Daniel discovers are blowing my mind. I love how the show keeps throwing physics and science into the mix—it makes the mystery feel real and high-stakes.
4x4 – Trust issues were everywhere in this one. Kate and Sawyer’s dynamic continues to make my head spin. And the tension with Locke and Ben in the Barracks is electric. Off-island, seeing Kate’s trial and the reveal about Aaron was shocking. I actually felt emotional seeing her raise Claire’s son—it’s such a weird mix of sadness and hope.
4x5
Okay, this is my favorite episode in the show as of now. Desmond’s flashbacks and time jumps are crazy, but also heartbreaking and hopeful. The whole “constant” concept with Penny had me tearing up. The writing here is just phenomenal—it’s both mind-bending and emotionally resonant.
Desmond is officially my favorite character. Also, the phone call that they had when she called him in 2004 and the conversation had me crying for several minutes. Seeing Desmond's face like that, had me smiling while the tears kept flowing.
4x6 –
Juliet’s flashbacks are tragic and fascinating. Her dynamic with Ben is just so twisted though. Like ngl, Ben did suck so much at times in this episode. Like you're such a fucking psychotic bitch for murdering a man because you think Juliet belongs to you.
And then… the reveal that the plane wreckage was completely faked by Widmore? There was a mastermind who faked the plane wreckage in the first place? Like I cannot process that, because I didn't even consider someone doing that. My jaw literally dropped. The idea that 324 bodies were used to stage the crash is chilling. I can’t stop thinking about the layers of deception—no wonder the survivors are so paranoid. I think this is more shocking than them realizing that they shouldn't have left the island.
4x7 –
The off-island storyline for Jin and Sun was sad and tense, especially knowing the outcome of Jin’s fate.
4x8 –
Michael’s BACK!!!!!!. Seeing him infiltrate the freighter was cool, but nerve-racking. I feel so bad for him with all of the trauma and guilt that he has. Like I want to kind of give him a hug. The tension between the survivors and the freighter crew is reaching a boiling point, and I can feel that something huge is about to happen.
4x9
This episode absolutely destroyed me and this is my second favorite episode after Desmond's flashback one. I was still thinking about the fact that Rousseau got shot so suddenly in the last episode and was so sad over that. Alex’s death at Keamy’s hands was heartbreaking, and seeing Ben grieve really humanized him in a way I didn’t expect.
The attack on the Barracks felt chaotic and desperate—my heart was racing the whole
