Ben was my favorite character. He did what he had to do

Yeah, he was probably my favorite behind Locke. Ben wasn't as bad as we think he is. When we first meet Ben, he's already on his downward spiral. He acts like he's in control, but he's really not, he's just one hell of a manipulator. Ben may have been partially responsible for the Purge and yeah it was kinda fricked up for him to not allow Juliet to leave the Island (although he had his reasons for wanting to correct the pregnancy problem on the Island as well), but Ben wasn't really all that bad of a person before the crash of Flight 815. He took being absolutely shunned by Jacob for decades pretty well, but then Ben develops cancer at a place where it is impossible to develop cancer, and his entire worldview falls apart (I can just about guarantee MIB gave it to him to continue to put seeds of doubt in him about Jacob). Top it off that his replacement has just fallen out of the sky and fully healed instantly, and Ben doesn't take that very well and becomes absolutely obsessed with his control and power almost overnight. Ben gives into his hatred and anger and devolves to a point he never thought himself capable of. The episode "Dead is Dead" is a good episode that illustrates this.
