This in from Titan re the new LOST magazine that is released today in the US:
Ben Linus wins best Lost Bad Guy
Readers of Totalscifionline.com and Lost Magazine have voted Ben Linus as the show’s top Bad Guy.The shadowy character, played by the Emmy award-winning Michael Emerson, was first introduced in season two, when he initially pretended to have been stranded on the island after his hot air balloon crashed.
However, Ben was soon revealed to be the leader of the Others, and his later evil deeds included kidnapping Jack, Sawyer and Kate, attempting to kill Penelope, and killing Locke. But, of course, the distinction between heroes and villains is never clear-cut on Lost, and there are times when Ben seems almost sympathetic, particularly when we see his childhood in season five.
Ethan and Charles Widmore received the second and third amount of votes, while there were also votes for Juliet, Sawyer, Locke, Jack and er, Vincent the dog.
The new villains-themed issue of Titan Publishing’s official Lost Magazine is released on 13 October 2009 (US) and 29 October 2009 (UK).

Bad Ben Ben Bad.
Glad people are finally coming around to realize it.
Yay, Benry!
Juliet got votes? Pfft. I wish she were a villain. That would have been a whole lot more interesting than the whiny, wibbly housewife we got this past season. Ugh.
I wonder why I love Ben so much
He was awfully cute when he was playing fools game with Locke and Jack in the hatch – post his beatdown self thanks to Sayid Jarrah the Torturer.
“You guys got any milk?” That could be one reason but there are others.
Maybe it was his adorable statement “Your heart’s not going to explode James.” Ben was giving poor Sawyer a hard time – but caused no real harm-just a temporary bruised ego. Another one, “We’re the good-guys Michael.” “His candybar sharetime with Hurley.” Awww so cute! Ehhh it is everything !!!
I have no favorite LOST season. They’re all the bomb. Actually as Terry O’Quinn aka oquinn wrote me and said, “it’s boomalicious.”
But I thought he’s one of the good guys
sory doc, but that comfort food banner, so you dont have to go around shooting people, really isnt very cool.
lost is a show about comfort food? ugh. kind of am embarrassing banner.
Sorry. You should really take that up with Damon and Carlton, since it was a line from the season 5 premiere… Smitty, could you provide the definition for ’satire’ ?
