been unable to do it, orders him to kill infant Alex. Ben refuses this order in front of some of the Others. (This along with learning the Island chose Ben as a child is, in my opinion, a big source of the enmity Widmore has toward Ben. Widmore does not take kindly to disrespect.)
* Ben takes Alex to keep her safe and does so until Widmore finally kills her and her mother sixteen years later.
* **His various physical abuses**
* As a teenager he tries to cut off Juliet's hand simply for being on the Island.
* Also as a teenager he snaps the next of a fellow Other (Cunningham) and then runs to camp telling Richard "we were outnumbered but I escaped" heavily implying that Locke, Juliet and Sawyer killed Cunningham, not him.
* He's on video having one of Ben's people brutally beaten in another attempt to find the Island.
* Once on the Island he fries one of his own team members alive in the reverse Faraday cage for no other reason than that he didn't move fast enough.
* He tortures Desmond in that same cage.
And he does all of this to exploit - not protect - the Island. I also do not believe for a second that Jacob actually showed him the "error of \[his\] ways." I think he told Jacob what he wanted to hear in order to secure an invitation back to the Island, the one thing he'd been working toward for the entire series.
**Widmore has no empathy. He shows no remorse. He has no redemption arc. He is an unrepentant villain.**

Question on S4 finale
Hello, first time watcher here and just finished S4.
How is it that no reporter really questioned why the 6 were alive when the fake sunken plane was reported to have the exact body count of the manifest?

Echo building a church...
I wonder if Echo's arc lasted longer. I wonder if the writers had intentions regarding building the church had a tie in to the finale.

Can we all appreciate the boar that had a personal vendetta against Sawyer?

I've watched Lost so many times and I always forget this storyline. But on every rewatch it comes back around and still gets me.
