[QUOTE="snoochface, post: 54807071, member: 96371"] Maybe so. He had a very different ending to his real life than Michael did. Michael's ended rather abruptly, without a lot of opportunity to atone for the things he did despite his final redemptive choices, whereas Ben had presumably decades, perhaps centuries, as Hurley's #2. Ben night not have entered the church because he was waiting for Alex, or Annie, to pass through their own "sideways/purgatory" stories, or he might have been working through his own letting go issues. Who knows, maybe at the time we're seeing Ben outside the church, he is still whispering on the island, or maybe he never had to because of the time he had available to change his life while he was living it. This, to me, is one of the most significant differences in the way we watched the show. I like having this room for interpretation and analysis, I like having some of the answers not given to us. And, if I'm being honest, I like putting my faith in the writers to deliver the story they meant to deliver to me, their vision, even if I still have questions at the end of it. I don't really know you, but I suspect your enjoyment came more from being able to figure out the answers to the questions and seeing if the theories panned out, so not having all the mysteries solved leaves you hanging and wanting more.
