Lost: Twelve classic Ben Linus moments
Michael Emerson owns season four of Lost. Many of the season's best scenes have featured Ben Linus. From screwing with Locke to obsessing over Juliet, Ben has become one of the show's standout characters. Emerson took the complex role to an entirely new level in last week's episode, "The Shape of Things to Come." I'll be shocked (and furious) if he doesn't get an Emmy nomination this year.
Let's take a look at some of Ben's most unforgettable moments using the mastermind's own words. If we're lucky, Ben will give us a few more to add to the list by the season's end. Spoiler alert: If you're not caught up with Lost, stop reading now.

Lost: What was written on the secret door?
Easter eggs are part of the fun of watching Lost. Symbols, numbers, and names can all have multiple meanings and connections to the story. Repeat viewing is a must for the detail-oriented fan. Doors have become particularly significant sources of information on the show. Season Two's blast door map revealed the names and locations of several DHARMA stations on the island. This week's episode brought another door into the Lost mythology.
Leave it to Ben to have a secret room next to another secret room. We already saw the secret room filled with passports, foreign currency, and suits. After a dramatic confrontation with Keamy and the mercenaries, Ben went to another hidden room and did something that fans are still talking about. I'll save the details about second room's door, and what was written on it, for after the jump. Spoiler Warning: Stop reading if you haven't seen "The Shape of Things to Come."
Lost: The Shape of Things to Come

(S04E09) What a brilliant episode! At this point, I think all future Lost episodes should be either Ben-, Sayid-, or Desmond-centric. This episode had it all: tons of action, several big revelations, and more questions to ponder. Michael Emerson gave yet another award-worthy performance this week and showed off his action hero side.
