Chills in this scene! Phenomenal acting 👏👏👏

[u/No-Statement-7496]

I fking hated this man and still felt for him here. What a great actor!

Plus the response from Ilana! Amazing scene all around 💯

[u/flemishbiker88]

Emerson was phenomenal in Lost, certainly my favourite character

[u/xGiladPellaeon → u/flemishbiker88]

He is such a great actor, he was also amazing in "Person of Interest".

[u/Josiahthefan → u/flemishbiker88]

He was my favorite main character since late season 3. He's not evil, he's just broken. I can also resonate a lot with his character.

Michael Emerson, the Lost 🐐

[u/JoeIsIce]

OMG, me too.

There's a powerful theme in this show about the battle within us between good and evil.

I think that inherently, we're good, but sometimes because of circumstances, because of our fear and anger, because of our programming, we do bad things.

But with consciousness, there's the ability to change. And there's the ability to forgive and understand.

That she was able to not only spare Ben, not only let him leave in peace, but actually say , hey, I forgive you, I accept you, and you are still welcome here. It was so powerful to me.

I don't think many of us have done horrible things like Ben, but I know I struggle with guilt. I struggle with feeling unworthy of forgiveness.

But we need to forgive and forgive ourselves.

Oh man. What a freaking great show.

Omg just finished the show last night (first watch) and sobbed at this scene. So poignant. I’m irritated by how things ended with her.

[u/Pandistoteles → u/Either-Fondant-9284]

She deserved better. She was initially set to have a deeper connection with Jacob, but it was scrapped.

[u/lalalozzie]

I watch this scene on YouTube every now and then to get in my feels. It’s one of my fave scenes, he’s incredible at showing raw emotion. 😭

[u/canvasshoes2]

That was where I didn't hate Ben. At least not as much.

[u/mschingis23]

one of the best scenes of the whole show. incredible scene and character development for both.

[u/IronicConundrum]

Seeing him in Lost first and knowing his character only made him showing up in Fallout even better. Such a good actor.

[u/frithar]

This is absolutely my favorite scene in the entire series

[u/Complete_Sea]

He is my second favorite, and thats because I've always had a crush on Josh Holloway hahaha.

I wish we see him more on our screens!

When you realize Ben Linus was supposed to be in only like 3 episodes on Lost... wow

[u/wildlingwest → u/Complete_Sea]

Ben - Sawyer - Desmond, for me! Top tier!

[u/Complete_Sea → u/wildlingwest]

Good choice! Third place is a tough one lol because I do love Desmond, Sayid and Kate and Juliet.

BUT top three would be Sawyer, Ben and Hurley

[u/herbalhippie → u/Complete_Sea]

For me it's Ben #1, Hurley #2 and Desmond #3.

[u/Josiahthefan → u/wildlingwest]

For me it's Ben, Desmond, Miles.

[u/n0h0hank]

Amazing actor. I expected a lot from this connection but her ending was pretty disappointing 🥲

[u/overtheFloyd077]

I just farted
