Judging Lost Souls
19
I was sitting in Easter service, listening to the
pastor preach about resurrection and redemption,
when I had this epiphany How come Smokey didn't
judge Ben for the Purge? We only saw images of
Ben's relationship with Alex flicker in Smokey's
psychic soot as if making a tragic mess of his
daughter's life was the worst thing Ben has ever
done. Ha! He killed his father! He participated
in the mass murder of 40 people! He sent Goodwin
to his death and tried to end John Locke's life
at least twice!

Smokey's selective auditing of Ben's past is
enough to make me lose faith in any theory that
says the Monster is an instrument of divine
justice. If it is, then the Island gods must be
crazy and unfair. Or just evil. Indeed, a few
weeks ago, I cited Terry O'Quinn's quote to the
Los Angeles Times about his suspicion that the
show's chief villain might be the Island itself.
Perhaps Lost is a dark, Lovecraftian variation on
the Book of Job or the Biblical story of Jonah.
The message in the metaphor God may exist but
is he/she/it truly good? . . .

Maybe we don't need to be cosmic about it. My
current take on Smokey is that the Monster is an
electric prod used by the Island's secret masters
to keep the herd of its people in line, lest they
make a mess of said secret masters' master plans.
Sometimes, that prod can kill. (See Mr. Eko.)
But the example of Ben shows us it can be set to
stun, too. Remember when we all thought Smokey
was attracted to fear the way sharks are drawn to
blood? I think there's mounting evidence to
suggest that what Smokey is really drawn to is
guilt. I don't think the Monster's interest is in
judgment or redemption. What it wants is control.
That's why Mr. Eko had to die He could not be
manipulated. Smokey smoked out his great guilt,
but when Eko basically said, 'Dude, I haven't
done nothing wrong, I only did what I needed to
survive,' Smokey threw up its hands like a
director pissed at an uncooperative actor, said
''I can't work with this fool,'' and fired him.
And by ''fired,'' I mean ''brutally pummeled him
into jungle pudding.'' But Ben didn't rationalize
his sin, and by submitting to Smokey's critique,
he is now more useful than ever to the Monster's
masters...
