Who are the bad guys again?
More and more on Losttalk, I've been seeing people talking about how evil and bad the Others are. And Ben specifically. But the more I watch Lost, the more I feel like the Others aren't really the bad guys. I feel that there are no bad guys.
The others are doing their thing on the island (whatever that is) and suddenly 40+ people show up and start messing with them. All they really want is to be left alone to do their work. Unfortunately, that apparently means keeping the island hidden from the outside world, which makes it very complicated to deal with the losties. They even bring some of the losties into their fold. Granted, they do it with midnight raids and kidnappings, but once they have the people, they seem pretty happy to be there (Cindy, Emma, Zack).
The losties crash on the island and are scared and don't have a clue what's going on. They get attacked by polarbears and smoke monsters and such and it all just raises their fear level until everything they don't understand is a threat.
I figured I wanted to know just who did what to who on the island so far. I decided that killings would be a good place to start. I made a couple of images. One is the killings done by the Losties. The other is the killings done by the Others. There is no judgement in these images, just killings done on the island. Confirmed killings, killings WE saw, not speculations! And only ON the island. Some are obvious accidents (Nikki & Paulo) but they still count. Oh, and if the killing was a killing of a Lostie by a Lostie, or an Other by an Other, then there is a green glow around the dead.
I put Juliet on the Losties chart. She wasn't on the plane, but she's on their side now. I debated it for a while and finally just stuck her on the Losties pic.
Even I was kind of surprised with how unbalanced the images are.
