But then, I don't see myself as a super-genius manipulative psychopath with a Neanderthal's notion of romance ("Mine" he called Juliet. Paige said, "How romantic."). On the flip side, I frequently pretend to know a lot more than I actually do, and it's possible Ben and I have that in common.<BR/><BR/>I did consider a connection to Linus, the blanket carrying pal of Charlie Brown. Also an outsider and detached but critical observer of his world, but I thought that was a stretch. But maybe the island is Ben's security blanket? Or Jacob is? Or some other "bargaining chip" (since he claims to be out, and therefore has more of them).Benjamin Gormanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15690290533167718706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26145735.post-39676073167446455922008-03-07T23:09:00.000-08:002008-03-07T23:09:00.000-08:00And what of the striking character similarities between Benjamin Linus and an English teacher and part-time blogger of the same nom de guerre, hmm?@bdul muHibhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10775889983099808362noreply@blogger.com
