Well, RIP Alex, i guess we didn't see eye to eye on many things..mostly Ben and his work. But you were a cool kid, you had rebellion in you. I like that..shame it was misdirected. But your final acts of alerting O-Town and calling Ben 'daddy' showed that you were his apple and the tree wasn't far from you.
I will never forget your final cries..i hope..i know, that you wont blame Ben for what happened to you, i know you'll recognise the fact that he tried to send you to the safety of the temple.
Ben loved you Alex..
And Ben, though you grief must be so sharp right now, the fan community will rise up behind you and we shall be your strength (
).
Seriously, that was one hell of a scene..when you're so invested in these characters, their decisions, their plight, it really crystalises just how good a show this is. As i said, i didn't really 'like' Alex (although Tania..) but her death impacted me as much (if not more than) Charlie's and Eko's (i think Losty said something similar in the Official Discussion thread?) - mostly because i lived that scene through Ben's eyes, as he hid behind his curtains..
They say closure is the best way to put a seal on grief. Here's another for ya Widmore -
REVENGE.
