down with the "man of faith vs man of science" dichotomy.
up with "the man from tallahassee and the man behind the curtain and the man of faith and the man of science".
i think it's high time we acknowledged the HUGE role Ben Linus and, sadly, Anthony Cooper play in the shaping of the "science vs faith" debate.
#incidentally this would make sawyer an important piece in the debate as well#not saying the show goes there exactly. just suggesting to broaden the discourse because. over time#it has become a little sterile. like. in 2025 we can admit that jack vs locke dichotomy is still cool af#but also. there are other important players in-between them#most notably ben linus. there is no science vs faith discourse without ben linus#AND therefore without cons and betrayals.#what i'm trying to say is that con men are a vital element in the show that.like. we need to take into account#lost#lost 2004#lost abc#lost tv series#abc lost#lost rewatch#james sawyer ford#benjamin linus#john locke#jack shepard#anthony cooper
