It just cements my hatred for Ben. And I don't see how people can sympathize with him after that. The look on his face? I mean you just told the guy she meant nothing to you, what did you expect? He's such a coward.
Please do not get me wrong. I love Michael Emerson. I think he's done an amazing job with this loathsome character, but more and more he's really just becoming a catch all for the show.
Ben is the beginning and ending of everything. And it feels false. Unless he's like a superhero or something, I don't buy it.
He's had so many different cons going all at the same time and it's impossible to tell where one begins and where one ends and it just bugs me.
Jack has appendicitis? I'm sure it's Ben's fault somehow, but he'll make it seem like someone else's fault, but then he's just kidding, and he'll say that he did it for the greater good, and in fact it's just a clever ruse to cover up for this other thing he did but didn't do and in fact someone else did WIDMORE! Etc.etc.etc. Just... Grrr.
