I won't be writing Benry flashbacks for a while....I want to wait until we know more about the loveable scamp in season three. Unfortunately, I think the first 'Other' flashback will belong to Juliet, which I'm disappointed about. Don't get me wrong, I lurve Juliet, but Benry is just more interesting.

Yay, a Benry flashback! Very well done, great descriptions. I pictured it in my head. ;D And yah, Cyrus, don't get involved! He'll get involved if he wants. Wakey wakey, eggs and bakey. Y'know, it's odd, but I'm really looking forward to the day Ana-Lucia and Benry face off. He's one creepy ass individual, but you made him quite likeable there. Nice one dude. Thank you, and yeah, I'm looking forward to it as well. He's not as powerful as Ethan or Goodwin, but he's so intelligent...it feels like he knows you completely.

Benjamin Linus' eye snapped open, and he squinted slightly, and then blinked, trying to rid himself of the crust that obscured and blurred his vision. He sighed deeply, and as he opened his mouth, it was filled with mattress.
He was lying on his stomach in bed, shirtless in boxers, with a small glass of scotch sitting idly on the dressing table. Slowly, and with a long, mournful groan, he lifted himself from the double bed.
He stood, shivering slightly at the cold feel of the floor beneath his bare feet, and proceeded to the kitchen, ready for some breakfast.
Things had been going....normally. Normal for most of them, for him, it hadn't been going well, not well at all. But no, he wasn't going to think about that, and he certainly wasn't going to try and get drunk like he did last night. Drunkenness bought out the real person, and it certainly wasn't something he indulged in. Alcohol turned the most perfect gentleman into a raving, leering beast, and he sometimes wandered if that was who every man was, deep down under the pretense of civilization. Not him, though, and certainly not here. He was a gentleman, and he took pride in that fact.
* * *
He gently prodded the bacon in the frying pan, and turned the heat up slowly. He was a good cook, always had been, and it came as naturally to him as violence came to Danny.
Daniel Pickett worried him to a great extent. He had shown himself to be violent, and when he was brave enough, disobedient. Yes, he needed to be disciplined from time to time, he certainly did.
But Danny was still a good person, just enthusiastic in certain areas. And Colleen would testify to that.
Colleen. That woman was a Godsend. That is, if God ever sent anyone anything of any worth, which he didn't. Ben had long abandoned the concept of a Christian God. Some good ideas, true. Not that anyone listened to the good ideas. But he was getting distracted again. Colleen.
When a gun was shoved in her face, she wouldn't flinch, she would be logical, calm....the only trouble was her emotional side. He never let anybody in, and was scared of no one, not even Ben. Danny was her only confident, and sometimes Benjamin wondered how much even Danny broke through that shell.
Speaking of shells, one cracked open, and the runny yellow yolk spilled into the blender. Then another.
Then there was Tom. Thomas. Tommy. The Tomster. Easily the friendliest, nicest and most competent in town. Tough but fair, with a sense of humor. And one of the strongest bastards Ben had ever met.
Bea was....complicated. Nice enough, but all business, and hard to communicate with.
Goodwin was competent, strong, focused and...emotional. He was too trusting, but he himself was worthy of a great deal of trust.
Cyrus Eugene Tager was a different story altogether. He was a strong, natural leader, manipulative, and with a dangerous motivation. Power. That's what he wanted. He cared about the people, yes, he just...cared about his own ambition more. And Benjamin Linus did not hold to that. They had clashed several times over leadership decisions. Then there was the human side. He could get involved sometimes, with people he shouldn't.
Ethan was friendly enough, unpopular, a little quiet, but friendly and helpful. And desperate for connection, of any kind. He had almost been with Juliet, but she had refused him. He was heart-broken, but only Ben and Tom knew. Ben, because he could read people and could see past the fake face. And Tom, because he was everyone's best friend, and Ethan was certain to have confided in him. Two years later, and he had stayed her friend. He had even fixed her plumbing the other day.
He got along well with Amelia (although not as of late) and Adam, well...he was a relentless suck-up.
As his breakfast neared completion, he reached for the CD stack, all neatly organized. He changed them from time to time. It used to be alphabetical, and now it was genre. He was about to pick out some Tchaikovsky, but no. He reached for Coldplay. Not exactly uplifting. Just past some Lennon. Then he made his selection.
He lifted the CD, placing it in the tray and pressing play. He then began to get dressed, allowing a small smile to grow on his face as the music built, and before he knew it, he was dancing to one of his best-loved bands. Dancing like nothing had happened.
Carry on my wayward son There'll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don't you cry no more
Once I rose above the noise and confusion Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion I was soaring ever higher But I flew too high
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man Though my mind could think I still was a mad man I hear the voices when I'm dreaming I can hear them say
Carry on my wayward son There'll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don't you cry no more
Masquerading as a man with a reason My charade is the event of the season And if I claim to be a wise man, well It surely means that I don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean I set a course for winds of fortune But I hear the voices say
Carry on my wayward son There'll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don't you cry no more
No!
Carry on, you will always remember Carry on, nothing equals the splendor The center lights around your vanity But surely heaven waits for you
Carry on my wayward son There'll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don't you cry (don't you cry no more)
He finished dressing, and rushed to make sure he hadn't destroyed his bacon. No, it was fine. He lifted it with a fork onto his plate, and then dropped it onto the floor. Not due to clumsiness, though. The whole room was shaking.
The music stopped as the whole player slid off the table, crashing onto the floor, and a glass of milk he'd poured shattered into pieces that sprayed across the floor. He quickly headed to the door, standing still and keeping his balance carefully, until the brutal shaking stopped.
There was silence for a moment, and then he could hear voices outside. He rushed to the door, throwing it open and headed into the daylight.
He glanced across the way, and instantly saw Juliet, as beautiful as ever. His first thought was that he hadn't brushed his teeth yet. Without saying a word, he quickly and coldly rushed past her, looking up at the sky. And then he saw it. Soon afterwards...everyone else did too.
A plane. A big one, too. The sounds...they were monstrous. A harrowing screech, followed by a crashing thunderous sound that swooped through the sky down on them as it ripped apart in mid flight, three pieces falling in separate places. His eyes drifted away from the cockpit, looking at the fuselage, and the tail section.
He was shocked, and scared, for a second, just a second. A second was all he would allow himself.
"Goodwin." he glanced down, seeing the handsome, well-built man jog over to him. "Did you see where the tail landed?"
"Yeah. Probably in the water."
"You run, you can make that shore in an hour." he instructed, and turned to another soldier. "Cyrus? Get to that fuselage, there may actually be survivors....and you're one of them."
Back to Goodwin. "A passenger, in shock." To Cyrus. "Think up of an adequate story if they ask, stay quiet if they don't."
He looked more at Cyrus than at Goodwin for his next order. "Don't get involved."
He looked at both of them. "Go."
And with that, they were off, shooting through the jungle. It was unlikely Cyrus would go to the fuselage yet. He was too independent, he'd do what interested him, and Ben regretted his decision straight away. But too late. He sighed deeply, and glanced around.
He knew he shouldn't. He really shouldn't. But it was the pure nerve of her, holding that book, that moved him to-wards Juliet. He glanced at the author's name, not bothering to read the title. He threw an accusing look at Juliet. "So, I guess I'm out of the book club."

lostpedia.com/wiki/Henry_GaleMy new fave couple is Benry and Juliet. They're destined for each other. And Juliet is so amazingly hot. And I love the character, I adore her. Theories about Benry and JulietBen and Juliet * Was in a serious relationship (possibly marriage) with Ben but the relationship failed. They seem to have a history together and obviously have some issues. o This is a very probable theory due to a recent issue of TV Guide in which Michael Emerson stated that his wife would be introduced early on in the season. o Ben is mentioned during the book club scene as being a "host" for the book club that session; Juliet also claims to be a host, leading to the suspicion that Ben either lives there or used to live there, with Juliet. * Adam's criticism that Ben would disapprove of Juliet's selection indicates either that Ben is the regular host of the Book Club, or has some personal connection with Juliet such as roommate, boyfriend, husband or brother. o Possibly, other than a relationship between Juliet and Ben, this shows Adam's and the rest of The Others' reverence for Ben and Juliet's displeasure with how Ben runs things (also apparent in the subtext of the final exchange between the two as Juliet leaves the observation room for Jack's cell). + It may also mean that they are the leaders of two different factions within the Others. * Could have some connection to The Real Henry Gale arriving on the island, prompting Ben to ambush/murder him.

Name: My name is Benjamin Linus, usually just Ben. Recent...circumstances have forced me to tell people my name is Henry Gale. Age: I wouldn't tell a lie. Occupation back home: That's a tricky question. Depends on how you define 'home'. And I suppose, how you define 'occupation' Appearance:Nationality: American. Residence: My home on the island. Skills: I'm highly intelligent, and absolutely excellent at manipulation. I can read people. Understand them. It's very rare that someone can conceal something from me. If they do, they get my congratulations. Weaknesses/bad habits: Not the toughest guy ever. I tend to attract abuse like a rag doll. Frequent moods/expressions: Affinity. One of my favorite moods. I'd rather be skillfully detached from the moods of others while silently manipulating their behaviour without them being aware. Reason for flight: I was not on the flight. Item from wreckage: I suppose if I were on the flight, I would have taken my electric shaver, as I detest a scruffy beard. Next would be my walking sandals for the beach.

OK, Nathan' s parents may be the most terrifying villains in history. After dealing with them, Gwen doesn't have much to worry about on the island. And I already had the suspicion that Nathan was a complete bastard. My theory is confirmed.
Brilliant flashback, and disgusting people.

Name: Paul Stockwell Age: 68 Occupation: He owns a small but successful company. Appearance:Nationality: American Residence: Los Angeles Skills: He has unsurpassed skills for negotiation. His business always comes first for him, and as a result, he does whatever it takes to keep it in business. He has a fierce determination, having worked himself up from the lowest scum of the low, to become a rich and successful businessman. Weaknesses/bad habits: He is an alcoholic, his prescence usually pre-empted by the tinkle of ice in a glass. He also has a touch of sociopathy, finding it difficult to love, care about people or feel empathy. When he gets close, but can't go further, he becomes confused as to why he has so few friends. Frequent moods/expressions: A friendly personality with a smooth tone of voice that invites confidence without demanding it. He has a slight edge of coldness he cannot help. At times of unhappiness, he has a sad, soft old face that makes him appear and feel small in the social world.

Name: Ryan Pryce Age: 45 Appearance: Overview: Gruff, aggressive, cynical, loyal to Ben and ready for anything. Name: Aldo Age: 30 Appearance: Overview: Gullible, foolish, goofy, and attempting to improve his mind. Don't really know if we need profiles for these two, since one's dead and the other's disappeared, but I like these two anyway.

OK, I was just watching a clip on youtube, of some show I remember being on, but I'd never watched it or knew much about it. I couldn't really remember it. It was a reality show called Something about Miriam. Miriam in question, was one of the hottest ladies I had ever seen, and I was thinking, 'oh, wow, jesus, this women is a hottie' I should've paid more attention to the title. Now I'm sitting here feeling ashamed and weird because that 'something' is that she's a man. Jesus. At least six other guys got it wrong too. Damnit, I knew there was something... The worrying thing is, I think I've made this exact same mistake with the same show before. I just have a terrible memory. Gawd.
