re: Chronologically LOST (SPOILERS)

Ben: "What about me?"
Jacob: "What about you?"

I loved this scene. Ben was put in his place and in the end, chose vengeance.

He may have put Ben in what he felt Ben's place was: a worthless tool who doesn't mean shite. The guy goaded Ben into killing him. Simply put Jacob is an absolute a-hole, probably the biggest one in the show, and all this is his damn fault, but he just sits on his arse and lets them "help themselves". If Jacob had just talked to Ben over the years, Ben would have never gone down the dark path that he did. Ben needed some guidance, but the only guidance he received was from an entity who merely used him as a tool who encouraged his life to go along a downward spiral. When Jacob said "What about you?" He may as well have said "Can you still not take a hint? After 30 years I have refused to see you, and you really think I give a damn about you? Eat shite and die you pathetic mother fricker." The guy's death should have been worse than Ben merely stabbing him.
