People miss out on why Ben is so happy and honored by Hurley's request. A lot of people think it is the power he wants... no. What Ben wants, what he's always wanted, is to BELONG. He father never truly wanted him so he went to the Others... only for him to learn that they merely used him for one purpose. So he sought meaning with his daughter, to be loved, only for her to turn against him. He sought belonging from Jacob but he didn't care. Hurley is the first person with power to honestly and openly ask Ben to work with him, to join him.
“I think you do what you do best: take care of people” And 25 seconds later, Hurley takes care of Ben with that question. Not even a minute after the suggestion, he already helped a man more than he’d ever felt helped in his entire life
i had just goosebumps by seeing Ben beeing lighted up from the Question "Do you help me Ben?" dang..i really miss the Music..and the Actors...gosh...thx for the great Expierience....loved it..and still do
I doubt that Linus had ever heard the words, "Can you help me, Ben?" in his entire life. Someone asking him, trusting him, someone who wanted nothing but help, who legitimately needed his help, with no axe to grind, just needed a very human answer, while recognizing his expertise and knowledge, and implying how it could be used to help people. Ben needed Hugo here as much as Hugo needed Ben. And it's beautiful.
I know people always said the MiB was evil, but Jacob did a lot evil 👿 stuff himself. His brother wanted to leave once he knew the woman who raised him killed their real mother. When he was messing with light with his wheel device instead of his mother explaining to him it could make the island unstable she killed his people then Jacob made the MiB the smoke monster. Then Jacob continued to bring people to the island 🏝️ but refused to get involved which caused a lot of people to die on the island.
I don't think Jacob said that out of malice, the guy legitimately didn't understand other people that well thanks to his isolated upbringing, his immortality only alienated him further (he admitted to feeling lonely). This mix of innocence and naivety led him to underestimate his own brother's intentions until he met Richard, and even in the 2000s he's still very awkward. Ultimately, he knew his flaws, his screw ups, and knew the Island deserved better so he sought out replacements.
Back in season 3, I would've never in a million years thought that I'd be tearing up at the image of Hurley and crazy-ass Ben taking care of the Island together. But here I am, yet again crying. Lol. I miss LOST.
I think part of what is so touching is that Ben finally gets the recognition and the appreciated that he longed for...that he felt jealous, betrayed, etc. I think that may be why Ben doesnt go with Hugo and the others. Hugo fulfilled a part of Ben and now Ben has a role in his life to do things as a whole person not as someone's pawn.
There is so much happening in this scene. Ben has only ever wanted to belong and feel special, and Hurley's instant forgiveness of all the history between Ben and himself, (and Hurley's genuine need for Ben) are exactly what Ben has been seeking out his whole life. Hugo, in just one honest sentence opens the door for Ben to finally have what he's always wanted. And I think Ben's compliment to Hugo that he was a great number one really holds a ton of weight, since Ben spent so much time seeing the downsides of Jacob's way of doing things. Hurley is so compassionate, I'm sure the island became SO MUCH BETTER under his tenure. This is a sad scene, but Ben's recommendation that Hugo do things his own way set the stage for what likely made the island a place of rest, healing, compassion, learning, humor, and more under Hugo's reign.
The reason this scene is so great is that both Ben and Hurley realise what makes each other “special”. Ben acknowledges that Hugo is great at looking after everyone and that he was the glue that held the Losties together. Hurley recognises the Ben knows the island . Neither are making a power play they are just openly acknowledging the others strength. It was one of the few things in the finale a felt was earned
The Ben of just a few months ago would have killed Hurley (or made him transfer his power) in seconds. Ben really had the most character growth on the show.
Y'know I'm not so sure about that. Yes, Ben went through a lot of growth but Ben is well networked. "You do what you do you best Hugo, take care of people". How did he know that? Ben got reports from Ethan, then Michael flipped and he got more from him. Ben threatens a lot but he typically doesn't kill unless he has to, and that comes up a lot when you're trying to save the world from some ethereal unknowable meta-evil. I don't know if he would've killed Hugo, I can't say when exactly he knew who Hugo was and what Hugo meant to them... but the others were likely spying for a long long time. I like to think there's some "Other" sitting up on top of those mountains with a reflection-resistant set of binoculars who can either read lips, or had listening equipment, just watching totally and utterly flabbergasted as they realize what Hugo's doing. "He appears to be making holes and taking measurements, Ben" "That's disconcerting. Watch him. Report back". "Ben, you aren't gonna believe this." "What. WHAT." "He made a golf course." *long pregnant pause* "Could you repeat that, say again" "Ben, he put holes in for a golf course. He's convincing the doctor to play." *Long pause* "How many hole did he make?" "Ben he made 9 holes to standard, they even have clubs." "I think... that's the first game of golf played i n f i f t e e n years. Let me know if Hugo wins." "Hugo isn't even playing Ben, he made it for everyone else." *long pause* "I want you to make a special report on this Hugo Reyes, I want you to watch him and send notes." ANd like every week he gets some new note, some new moment watching. Ben shows a lot of loyalty here to Hugo on very little personal experience and for a man AS untrusting as Ben to throw complete faith at Hugo... it just seems like "more" was to it. I bet Ben knew Hugo was a candidate early on. They knew John Locke would become a leader, but something inside him had to be just tickled finding out what Hugo had done and who he was. Every file some weird new anecdote or story about Hugo Reyes, the least threatening man on Oceanic 815. Just reading his file must've been hilarious.
Esta escena es hermosa por qué de muestra que jacobo tenía razón en creer que hay bondad y luz en las personas.Ben no era malo solo que la persona que tenía que cuidarlo y monstraerle cariño y amor nunca se lo demostró y lo hizo creecer inseguro de si mismo ese fue su padre.Ben solo quería un lugar donde pertenecer y ser querido ese lugar fue la isla y la persona que le mostró cariño y respeto y amistad fue huyó por eso ben sonrio por qué por primera vez alguien le pidió ayuda y que lo necesitaba de verdad por eso estaba feliz de ayudar a Hugo y lo mejor es que se formó una buena amistad y estaba arrepentido de todo lo que hizo
Wish they filmed some scenes of Hurley and Ben well into their Island leadership. They did one or two with Michael outside the island. But would have been cool to see them on the Island years into it.
“Why are you going with locke?” “Because he is the only one would have me” Hugo: “can you help me Ben?” Thats why Ben was fixed, Hugo genuinely wanted him
I know that nothing will ever be able to recapture this magic, but I do kinda want a sequel series with Hurley and Ben. And Ji Yeon. I hope Hurley took her to the island.
How it started: Ben having his people capture Hugo so Hugo could then deliver a warning to the other survivors. A few things that happened next: Hugo ignoring Ben to let James & Claire into Ben’s house, Hugo giving Ben the bigger half of the candy bar, Ben warning Hugo about the crackers, the Hot Pocket incident, Ben affirming that Hugo’s best quality is helping others, and Hugo proving that point by honoring Ben/show Ben that he’s needed & wanted by someone. How it ended: Hugo and Ben, my two favorite characters on Lost, affirming how great the other one was 🥲
Ben just said it in this video. The first thing Hugo did as protector was get Desmond back to his wife and kid. I imagine they also found Jacks body and buried him. Later they go to Walt and the Dharma workers tieing up loose ends. But the first act of goodness that Hurley did as protector was get Desmond back home. And he lived happily ever after with Penny and Charlie.
I really hope Desmond left the island, since he hated being far away from Penny. I've read so many loveful comments about Desmond, but I never scrolled upon some comment that would mention this. I hope he reunited with Penny and Charlie since Ben was talking about way off the island.
It was never supposed to be Jack and it was always supported to be Hugo as the new protector and I believe Jacob knew it because Hugo is the most pure out of any of the candidates, he has strong empathy and is the least likely to be corrupt by powerz say for example if Sawyer or even Jack became the full time protector of the Island the Power of being an immortal god might have gotten to there heads and they might have been corrupted by the darkness, so it needed to be somone with a pure heart who puts others before himself such as Hugo
Yeah, everything that happened in the show was planned out by Jacob from the start. He has flashes of the future just like desmond did, but with 2000 years of experience he learned how to control time with his visions. He had the others building a runway for the Ajira flight 3 years in advance, he had Jack's appendix removed 3 years before he was stabbed there by MiB. He touched Ben right after he stabbed him to protect him from the MiB because he planned for him to help Hurley. Its like Jack said to MiB, Jacob didn't choose him, and MiB says he expected to be surprised about who Jacob chose. In season 2 Jacob gave Richard a list to give to Ben, to capture Jack Sawyer Kate and Hurley when the hatch exploded, to get them to safety cause he knew he would need them in season 6. Its like what he said to Hurley at the lighthouse, he needed to get them as far away as possible.
@@kiernanjk Jacob doesn't give ailments, he heals them. Jack probably got appendicitis a long time ago and Jacob was keep it healed. He began taking away the healing when Jack was trying to make contact with the freighter and leave the island, to make him bed ridden. He did the same thing to Locke when he was heading toward the plane with Boone. And Locke was shot my Ben where he had his kidney removed.
Dude if this is afterlife, why the dad said that the dharma initiative was a oportunity for ben to be better than a teacher... I dont understand but anyways, awesome
Because there was a part of Ben that still desired power, maybe? That was a test. If he'd fall back into his old ways or not. Same way he had to choose between becoming Head Teacher at the expense of Alex failing, or sacrifice his potential for power to help Alex.
I don't think so. More likely, Ben had a lot to atone for a didn't want to face the others yet, as they might not be as forgiving as Hugo was. The interesting thing for me is, Ben's face makes it clear he hadn't seen Hugo in a while. Meaning, he either died or retired from his role early, and Ben lived long enough to serve another Protector, probably Walt, before passing.

Kevin Allen preach!
He actually liked Hugo too I mean everyone loves hugo..x x x x 💓💙💛
What you say is true. Ben once stated he wanted to be ask but no one did. Hurley actually asked him and as a result it changed him
This scene was great. Ben finally got what he wanted. To be important and have belonging but to also have someone fully trust him again.
that is still absolutely pathetic
“I think you do what you do best: take care of people”
And 25 seconds later, Hurley takes care of Ben with that question. Not even a minute after the suggestion, he already helped a man more than he’d ever felt helped in his entire life
Hugo healed Ben that very moment
"Hello hugo" will forever melt my heart. The affection and love
Love this scene so much, both of these characters deserve this ending.
Also the way Ben’s face lights up when he sees him tells you how much respect Ben has for him.
i had just goosebumps by seeing Ben beeing lighted up from the Question "Do you help me Ben?" dang..i really miss the Music..and the Actors...gosh...thx for the great Expierience....loved it..and still do
Same here, Hugo healed Ben by asking him for help
I doubt that Linus had ever heard the words, "Can you help me, Ben?" in his entire life. Someone asking him, trusting him, someone who wanted nothing but help, who legitimately needed his help, with no axe to grind, just needed a very human answer, while recognizing his expertise and knowledge, and implying how it could be used to help people.

Jacob: “What about you?”
Hurley: “Will you help me, Ben?”

this is so touching...even after all these years its still a touching scene
How different it could have been for ben if he met someone like Hugo sooner.....
I love when villains turn good.
I love it too. One day they are your worst enemy, the next thing you know that old enemy is bringing you the head of everyones worst nightmare
Ben was never a villain just misled
But only when they do it properly, not like naruto forgiving his enemys and magicly they good, heres character development right here
Ben was most definitely a villain through season 3.
@@chiefko Yeah. He was the Big Bad in Season 3. He refused to let them leave the island and killed a lot of people.
Back in season 3, I would've never in a million years thought that I'd be tearing up at the image of Hurley and crazy-ass Ben taking care of the Island together. But here I am, yet again crying. Lol. I miss LOST.
I really like this scene.
He always wanted to be needed, appreciated
Hurley has such a great heart to give him a second chance
I think part of what is so touching is that Ben finally gets the recognition and the appreciated that he longed for...that he felt jealous, betrayed, etc. I think that may be why Ben doesnt go with Hugo and the others. Hugo fulfilled a part of Ben and now Ben has a role in his life to do things as a whole person not as someone's pawn.
Ben not going yet had more to do with wanting Alex and Rousseau to come with him
How? He's already dead. I think he has yet to come to terms with all the things he did, and still hadn't forgiven himself
There is so much happening in this scene. Ben has only ever wanted to belong and feel special, and Hurley's instant forgiveness of all the history between Ben and himself, (and Hurley's genuine need for Ben) are exactly what Ben has been seeking out his whole life.

Ben fue el mejor, sin duda alguna. 😃😃😢
Exactly what I was looking for
"You were a real great number 2" 💀
Such a overlooked exchange. A huge part for Ben’s character line.
The reason this scene is so great is that both Ben and Hurley realise what makes each other “special”.
Ben acknowledges that Hugo is great at looking after everyone and that he was the glue that held the Losties together.
Hurley recognises the Ben knows the island .
Neither are making a power play they are just openly acknowledging the others strength.
It was one of the few things in the finale a felt was earned
I think it’s more ben has finally found purpose, and some actually wants his help not use him
Ben had a soft spot for Hurley.
"Hugo... you can go back to your camp."
The Ben of just a few months ago would have killed Hurley (or made him transfer his power) in seconds. Ben really had the most character growth on the show.
That's crazy to think about
So true
Agreed. Ben became my favorite character on the show.
Y'know I'm not so sure about that.
Yes, Ben went through a lot of growth but Ben is well networked.
"You do what you do you best Hugo, take care of people".

Such a perfect ending for both characters.
Finally... benjamin got the recognition he always wanted from the leader protector which jacob (former leader) failed to do...
Ben became from one of the most hated to most pathetic to most pitied to most sympathized to most love
Ben: "I'd be honored"
Me: 😢
君は最高のナンバー2だ、君は偉大なナンバー1だ割と好き
I cried, thank you.
An absolute crying shame that Jorge Garcia never won an Emmy for his performances on this show.

I'm curious to see what the island is like with Hugo in charge. Ben said he did a great job.

Buddies
Ben loves the island probably even more than Locke did
I think he came to love it instead of merely wanting to control or know it.
Whose theme is this?
Ben: You are being watched.
Hurley: What?
Ben: ...Oh, nothing. Never mind.
Reese: Hello Finch.
so what happened to Desmond? he stayed on the island?
Ben just said it in this video. The first thing Hugo did as protector was get Desmond back to his wife and kid. I imagine they also found Jacks body and buried him. Later they go to Walt and the Dharma workers tieing up loose ends. But the first act of goodness that Hurley did as protector was get Desmond back home. And he lived happily ever after with Penny and Charlie.
@@user-hu9vi7nk1l yeah I forgot that line when he's trying to reassure Hugo. There's just so much going on man!
If Jacob (and the crazy mom) had just let MIB, pre Smokey, leave the Isand, all of this could have been avoided
I really hope Desmond left the island, since he hated being far away from Penny. I've read so many loveful comments about Desmond, but I never scrolled upon some comment that would mention this. I hope he reunited with Penny and Charlie since Ben was talking about way off the island.
