“Lost” DVDs Will Have Answers

Still looking for answers from “Lost?”

Actor Michael Emerson, who played Benjamin Linus on the show, has some advice–pick the DVD set hitting stores tomorrow.

The sixth season set include an extra feature focusing on Ben and Hurley that Emerson says makes a nice coda to the show and provides answers to fans.

The featurette touches on polar bears, the Dharma supply drops, pregnancy issues and what happened to Walt (Malcolm David Kelley).

“I think the chapter is a nice addition to the Lost narrative—nice to have some of the more particular or practical questions answered, since the finale took a more spiritual tone,” said Emerson to Blastr.

Emerson went on to say that he liked the journey Ben ended up on. “I loved the entire arc and was especially delighted with Ben’s end in the finale. It was finer and more satisfying than anything I could have imagined,” he said.

“I think what’s perfect about the Ben storyline is that we are never certain where he falls on the scale of good and evil. It’s a tribute to the skill of the writers that the audience could never be certain about Ben, even to the very end,” said Emerson. When it comes to closure and the conflicted Ben, “I’m actually more interested in moments of un-closure, like Ben’s end in the finale,” said Emerson, referencing the fact that Ben decided not to head off to the afterlife with the other Losties when the story came to an end after six seasons.

He admits he’s “completely satisfied with Ben’s adventure. Of course, there are always the ‘paths not followed,’ which are tantalizing. It would have been interesting to explore the relationship between Ben and Annie,” continued Emerson. Annie was Ben’s childhood friend.
