Entertainment Weekly had a brief little article in the TV section, rating the various beatings Ben has taken over the years. Luckly it's also online, at www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20178321,00.html
There Will Be Blood...On Ben
Michael Emerson's bloody role -- A review of past ''Lost'' episodes that feature Benjamin Linus at his most bloody and beaten
''One of Them'' (2/15/06)
After Ben claims to be a stranded balloonist, Sayid administers a lie-detector test of punches and stomps.
Severity
High. The two-minute assault ends only when Jack drags Sayid away.
''Through the Looking Glass'' (5/23/07)
Thinking that Ben ordered the shooting of three castaways, Jack tackles Ben by his throat and delivers nine brutal, bloody blows.
Severity
Extreme. Somebody get a doctor! (Er, not Jack.)
''The Beginning of the End'' (1/31/08)
To shut Ben up after he refers to Alex as ''my daughter,'' Rousseau delivers a swift backhand, leaving Ben spitting blood.
Severity
Low. You know that crazy Frenchwoman had more in her.
''Confirmed Dead'' (2/7/08)
When Ben taunts Sawyer about Jack and Kate, the con man unleashes a perfect storm of knees and fists.
Severity
Medium. By now, anything short of a decapitation feels kind of wussy.
